The phase transition of these copolymers changes its thermodynamic character from a first order phase transition to a diffuse transition with a decrease in a mole fraction of vinylidene fluoride. This fact has been confirmed experimentally by observing temperature hystereses seen as differences between transition temperatures in the heating process and cooling one. The ferroelectric spontaneous polarization of this polymer is formed by a cooperative orientation of dipoles belonging mainly to a vinylidene fluoride part in linear chains with a planar zigzag conformation. In order to represent these interesting ferroelectric phenomena, we examine a three-states model whose element can take three values of the dipole moment as +u, -u, 0. Monte Carlo simulation of this model reveals the physical essence of the ferroelectric characters described above.","PeriodicalId":364651,"journal":{"name":"2005 12th International Symposium on Electrets","volume":"95 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117213822","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dosimeters produced with electret materials are able to detect /spl gamma/ - and X-rays, /spl alpha/, /spl beta/, electrons and other charged particles and, with appropriate converters, fast and slow neutrons. To produce and use an electret dosimeter one must have a system to inject an initial charge into the electret material, and another system to read and compare the initial charge with that remaining after the radiation exposure. We have developed a charging device to produce large area thin film electrets using corona discharge with an array of 130 electrodes. Also we have developed one reader and improved another that accurately measure the electret charge density. The first is a plane plate reader connected to an electrometer that measures an induced charge from which the average charge density on the electret can be inferred. The second is a coaxial probe that, together with a scanning system can record 2D images of non uniform exposures on an electret dosimeter film with a spatial resolution determined by the dimensions of the probe and its distance from the film. We report results from both of these charge readers and compare electrets produced from 25 /spl mu/m thick ETFE (Ethylenetetrafluoroethylene),PFA (Tetrafluoropropylene-per-fluoromethoxyethylene) and FEP (Tetrafluoroethylene-hexa-fluoropropylene) polymer films. We demonstrate that the corona charging technique and both reading systems are adequate for electret film dosimeter measurements. We present the relationship between the responses from the two reading systems and we show that the planar probe is more sensitive and rapidly measures average exposure.","PeriodicalId":364651,"journal":{"name":"2005 12th International Symposium on Electrets","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128438571","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results showed that the surface potential remain above 95% of the original level in porous PTFE after UV-irradiation in the range of 3.2 mW/cm/sup 2/ for 2 hours, however, the charges injected in porous PTFE were almost completely removed after radiation with gamma-radiation at doses of 15 kGy. UV-irradiated porous PTFE films, one side coated with aluminum electrodes and negative corona charged, show peak position shifts towards the higher temperature in their TSD curves as compared with those of unirradiated samples.

However, in many organic solids polaron effects arc important. The strong electron-phonon coupling causes carrier self-trapping and creates a quasiparticle, a polaron, which can move to on adjacent molecule only by carrying along the associated molecular deformation. On the example of polysilanes it is shown how the temperature and electric field dependences of charge carrier mobility can be utilized for the distinguishing between polaron and polaron-free transport. Another prove follows from thermally stimulated luminescence - the test is based on the assumption that the energy relaxation of polarons is much slower than that of charge carriers in a similarly disordered but rigid hopping system.","PeriodicalId":364651,"journal":{"name":"2005 12th International Symposium on Electrets","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130285277","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It shows that the adsorption of DDVP on the surface of BuChE belongs to monomolecular layer and is much more sensitive than on the surface of PVP. The maximum coverage on the electrode surface is about 5.304/spl times/I0/sup -10/ mol/cm/sup 2/. This area is corresponding to active sites of BuChE. It is calculated that a monomolecular layer of DDVP adsorbs in the active site serine of BuChE which is deeply located at the bottom of a narrow (20 /spl Aring/) gorge and takes up more space at the extent of 10 /spl Aring/. The poisoned mechanism of BuChE by DDVP has also been discussed. The linear relationship between the frequency and the concentration of DDVP exists in a range from 6.54ppm to 32.7ppm.
