Thermal Dependence (thermal + dependence)
Selected AbstractsThermal properties of conduction current and carrier behavior in an organic electroluminescent deviceELECTRONICS & COMMUNICATIONS IN JAPAN, Issue 3 2009Masahiro Minagawa Abstract Organic electroluminescent device (OLED) was fabricated using a vacuum evaporation method and thermal properties were investigated. The OLED has an indium tin oxide (ITO)/N,N,-diphenyl- N,N,-bis(3-methylphenyl)-1,1,-biphenyl-4,4,-diamine (TPD)/tris(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum (Alq)/lithium fluoride (LiF)/aluminum (Al) structure. An electron-dominant device of Al/Alq/LiF/Al structure, or a hole-dominant device of ITO/TPD/Al structure was also fabricated in order to study the carrier behavior in the OLEDs. The current density versus voltage (J,V) properties with various thickness of organic layers were investigated in both electron- and hole-dominant devices, and the thermal dependence of J,V properties was observed in the devices. At room temperature, conductions in a wide current region were considered to be due to space-charge-limited current for all of the devices. Especially for the Al/Alq/LiF/Al device and the OLED, relationships were observed across a wide current region. At low temperature, tunnel currents were estimated for the ITO/TPD/Al device. For the Al/Alq/LiF/Al device and the OLED, relationships were observed across a wide current region at low temperature. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Terraza Abstract A series of 10 poly(urethanes) were synthesized by solution polymerization from bis(chloroformates) and aromatic diamines, containing both silicon or germanium as central atom. So, the polymers prepared contain two silicon atoms or two germanium atoms exclusively or combinations of both. Me, Et, and Ph groups were bonded to the central atoms according to the nature of the monomers employed. Poly(urethanes) were characterized by FTIR, 1H, 13C, and 29Si NMR spectroscopy and the results agreed with the proposed structures. Additionally, intrinsic viscosity values were established in DMSO solutions and thermal analyses were developed. In all cases, thermostable oligomers were obtained, which showed a degradation process beginning at ,240,260°C. Polymers showed a thermal dependence with the nature of the heteroatom employed. Thus, in general, when germanium was used as central atom, the thermal stability was higher than the polymers containing silicon which agrees with the lower polarity and higher energy of the CGe bond in comparison with the CSi one. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Reinert Abstract We report on an adaptive mirror system that allows generating thermo-optically controlled wavefront corrections. The influence of the wavefront is based on the thermal dependence of the refractive index in a thin active layer. The thermal pattern in the active layer is generated by irradiation with a diode laser emitting at 805 nm. The active layer consists of a diluted aqueous solution of NdCl3. A Michelson interferometer is used to measure the wavefront distortions. A phase shift of 6, with a lateral resolution of better than 1 mm and a temporal rise/fall time of a few seconds can be achieved with an absorbed power of only 150 mW at an intensity of about 10 W/cm2.

With variation of the pressure, we were able to change the structure of SiGe:H films. We have used the combination of the infrared spectroscopy, CPM, PDS and thermal desorption measurements to study the thermal dependence of defect density, disorder, as well as hydrogen concentration. The film mechanical properties were tested by depth sensing indentation technique. The results showing a different hydrogen bonding with the change of deposition conditions are interpreted as a whole by terms of the specific local hydrogen bonding environment, related to different growth mechanism.

KGaA, Weinheim) [source] True and Apparent Temperature Dependence of Protein Adsorption Equilibrium in Reversed-Phase HPLCBIOTECHNOLOGY PROGRESS, Issue 6 2002Szabelski The adsorption behavior of bovine insulin on a C8 -bonded silica stationary phase was investigated at different column pressures and temperatures in isocratic reversed-phase HPLC. Changes in the molar volume of insulin (, Vm) upon adsorption were derived from the pressure dependence of the isothermal retention factor ( k,). The values of , Vm were found to be practically independent of the temperature between 25 and 50 °C at ,96 mL/mol and to increase with increasing temperature, up to ,108 mL/mol reached at 50 °C. This trend was confirmed by two separate series of measurements of the thermal dependence of ln( k,). In the first series the average column pressure was kept constant. The second series involved measurements of ln( k,) under constant mobile-phase flow rate, the average column pressure varying with the temperature. In both cases, a parabolic shape relationship was observed between ln( k,) and the temperature, but the values obtained for ln k, were higher in the first than in the second case. The relative difference in ln( k,), caused by the change in pressure drop induced by the temperature, is equivalent to a systematic error in the estimate of the Gibbs free energy of 12%. Thus, a substantial error is made in the estimates of the enthalpy and entropy of adsorption when neglecting the pressure effects associated with the change in the molar volume of insulin. This work proves that the average column pressure must be kept constant during thermodynamic measurements of protein adsorption constants, especially in RPLC and HIC. Our results show also that there is a critical temperature, Tc , 53 °C, at which ln( k,) is maximum and the insulin adsorption process changes from an exothermic to an endothermic one. This temperature determines also the transition point in the molecular mechanism of insulin adsorption that involves successive unfolding of the protein chain. [source] | ||||||||||
