    Temperature dependence of the complex permittivity in microwave range of some industrial polymers
    (New York, NY : American Inst. of Physics, 2022) Porteanu, Horia-Eugen; Kaempf, Rudolf; Flisgen, Thomas; Heinrich, Wolfgang
    The microwave properties of a number of polymers common in industry are investigated. A cylindrical resonator in the TM012 mode is used. The cavity perturbation method and detailed COMSOL simulations are applied for extracting the complex permittivity as a function of temperature. The results are useful for the design of plastic processing tools by heating with electromagnetic fields. The intrinsic parameters of absorption are derived based on two exponential decays: polarization and Arrhenius dependence of the decay times on temperature.

    Semimetal to semiconductor transition in Bi/TiO2 core/shell nanowires
    (Cambridge : Royal Society of Chemistry, 2021) Kockert, M.; Mitdank, R.; Moon, H.; Kim, J.; Mogilatenko, A.; Moosavi, S.H.; Kroener, M.; Woias, P.; Lee, W.; Fischer, S.F.
    We demonstrate the full thermoelectric and structural characterization of individual bismuth-based (Bi-based) core/shell nanowires. The influence of strain on the temperature dependence of the electrical conductivity, the absolute Seebeck coefficient and the thermal conductivity of bismuth/titanium dioxide (Bi/TiO2) nanowires with different diameters is investigated and compared to bismuth (Bi) and bismuth/tellurium (Bi/Te) nanowires and bismuth bulk. Scattering at surfaces, crystal defects and interfaces between the core and the shell reduces the electrical conductivity to less than 5% and the thermal conductivity to less than 25% to 50% of the bulk value at room temperature. On behalf of a compressive strain, Bi/TiO2 core/shell nanowires show a decreasing electrical conductivity with decreasing temperature opposed to that of Bi and Bi/Te nanowires. We find that the compressive strain induced by the TiO2 shell can lead to a band opening of bismuth increasing the absolute Seebeck coefficient by 10% to 30% compared to bulk at room temperature. In the semiconducting state, the activation energy is determined to |41.3 ± 0.2| meV. We show that if the strain exceeds the elastic limit the semimetallic state is recovered due to the lattice relaxation.
