Effect of Fe content on the electrical properties of Zn2Y (Ba2Zn2Fe12O22) was studied by investigating X-ray diffraction patterns, microstructure and resistivity of samples. When x(Ba2Zn2Fe12＋xO$\delta$) is between ＋1 and -1, Zn2Y single phase was obtained and electrical resistivity was inversely proportional to Fe content. The possible defect model of Zn2Y was proposed based on the observation. When x<-1 or x>1, second phase(ZnFe2O4 for x<-1, ZnFe2O4 and Ba3Zn3Fe24O41 for x>1) were observed and the electrical resistivity was inversely proportional to the sample density. The activation energy of electrical conductivity of the stoichiometric Zn2Y was 0.49eV below 20$0^{\circ}C$ and 0.07eV above 50$0^{\circ}C$.

석회암 공동이 발달한 도심지역에서 지하수위 하강에 수반되어 발생한 함몰형 지반침하의 원인 규명 및 공동의 분포 특성 파악을 위하여 시추공을 이용한 전기비저항 토모그래피탐사를 실시하였다. 이때 지하수 수리지질 특성을 파악하기 위하여 시추코아의 비저항 측정, 지하수위 측정 및 수리전도도 해석을 병행하였다. 연구 지역에서의 완만한 지하수위 분포 특성과 0.8-$9.3{\times}10^{-4}\;cm/s$ 범위의 수리전도도 분포로 부터 연구지역의 수리지질 특성은 불균질성이 크지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 시추코아를 이용한 전기비저항 측정 결과 연구지역의 석회암은 파쇄가 많은 경우, 변질이 심한 경우 및 신선한 경우로 나눠지며, 전기비저항은 각각 103-161, 218-277 및 597-662 ohm-m의 범위로 나타났다. 시추결과 점토로 충전된 석회암 공동 지점은 토모그래피 탐사자료의 역산 결과 50 ohm-m 이하의 낮은 비저항으로 나타났으며, 각 시추공 간 비저항 영상 단면으로부터 연구지역 전체적으로 지표 하부 심도 약 10-20 m 구간까지 파쇄대 또는 석회암 공동 구간이 분포하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 석회암 공동의 직경은 약 4-6 m 규모로, 대부분 점토질로 충전된 것으로 판단된다.

Bismuth-telluride based $(Bi_{0.2}Sb_{0.8})_2Te_3$ thermoelectric powders were fabricated by two-step planetary milling process which produces bimodal size distribution ranging $400\;nm\;{\sim}\;2\;{\mu}m$. The powders were reduced in hydrogen atmosphere to minimize oxygen contents which cause degradation of thermoelectric performance by decreasing electrical conductivity. Oxygen contents were decreased from 0.48% to 0.25% by the reduction process. In this study, both the as-synthesized and the reduced powders were consolidated by the spark plasma sintering process at $350^{\circ}C$ for 10 min at the heating rate of $100^{\circ}C/min$ and then their thermoelectric properties were investigated. The sintered samples using the reduced p-type thermoelectric powders show 15% lower specific electrical resistivity ($0.8\;m{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$) than those of the as-synthesized powders while Seebeck coefficient and thermal conductivity do not change a lot. The results confirmed that ZT value of thermoelectric performance at room temperature was improved by 15% due to high electric conductivity caused by the controlled oxygen contents present at bismuth telluride materials.

Various wt. ratios of indium were doped to the poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styreneswulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) to enhance the conductivity and transmittance. The transmittance of the films increased with increasing the amount of indium. The field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) image of 2.54 wt. % of indium doped PEDOT:PSS film shows large number of aggregated indium particles. However, more than 2.54 wt. % of indium doped PEDOT:PSS films showed reduced aggregated indium particles. Moreover, 4.47 wt. % of indium doped PEDOT:PSS film showed no aggregated particles. The resistivity of pure PEDOT:PSS film showed $880k{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$. The resistivity of 1.03 wt. % indium doped film reduced approximately 26 times compared with pure PEDOT:PSS film. The resistivity of indium doped film further reduced with increasing the amount of indium, which showed approximately $0.55k{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ for the PEDOT:PSS film doped 4.47 wt. % of indium.

Geopolymer concrete is finding a growing number of niche applications in the field of civil engineering due to its high compressive strength and strength gain rate, retainage of structural properties in elevated temperature environments, chemical stability in highly acidic conditions and environmental benefits. Combining the above mentioned characteristics with induced electrical conductivity, could enable geopolymer cement to serve as a smart and sustainable cementitious material suitable for health monitoring of civil structures. Carbon fibers were added to fresh geopolymer and OPC (ordinary Portland cement) mixes to enhance their electrical conductivities. AC-impedance spectroscopy analysis was performed on the specimens with fiber fraction ranging from 0.008 to 0.8 with respect to the weight of cementitious binder, to measure their electrical resistivity values and to determine the maximum beneficial fiber content required to attain electrical percolation. Experimental observations suggest that CFR-geopolymer cement exhibits superior performance to CFR-OPC in terms of conducting electrical current.

The electrical property of polymer matrix composites with added carbon powder is studied based on the temperature dependency of the conduction mechanism. The temperature coefficient of the resistance of the polymer matrix composites below the percolation threshold (x) changed from negative to positive at 0.20 < x < 0.21; this trend decreased with increasing of the percolation threshold. The temperature dependence of the electrical property(resistivity) of the polymer matrix composites below the percolation threshold can be explained by using a tunneling conduction model that incorporates the effect of the thermal expansion of the polymer matrix composites into the tunneling gap. The temperature coefficient of the resistance of the polymer matrix composites above the percolation threshold has a positive value; its absolute value increased with increasing volume fraction of carbon powder. By assuming that the electrical conduction through the percolating paths is a thermally activated process and by incorporating the effect of thermal expansion into the volume fraction of the carbon power, the temperature dependency of the resistivity above the percolation threshold can be well explained without violating the universal law of conductivity.

This study deals the prediction of temperature effect on low-frequency dispersion of alternating current (AC) conductivity spectra of composite materials based on copolymer reinforced with carbon black (CB) particles. A sample of ethylene butylacrylate loaded with 13% of CB particles were prepared and investigated using the impedance spectroscopy representation in the frequency range from 40 Hz to 0.1 MHz and temperature range from $20^{\circ}C$ to $125^{\circ}C$. The dielectric constant, ${\varepsilon}^{\prime}$, and dielectric losses, ${\varepsilon}^{{\prime}{\prime}}$, were found to decrease with increasing frequency. The frequency dependence of the AC conductivity follows the universal power law with a large deviation in the high frequency region, the positive temperature coefficient in resistivity effect has been observed below the melting temperature which makes this composite potentially remarkable for industrial applications.

The Molybedenium thin film is generally used on back contact material of CIGS solar cell due to low electrical resistivity and stable thermal expansion coefficient. The Mo thin films deposited on si wafer by the magnetron sputtering method. The research focused on the variation of electrical resistivity of films which deposited with various working pressure at the target power of 2.0 kW(8.4 W/). The lowest resistivity of Mo thin film showed $9.0{\mu}O$-cm at pressure of 1.5 mTorr. However, working pressure increasing up to 50 mTorr, resistivities were highly increased. The results showed that the conductivity of Mo films depended on growing structures and defects in deposition process. Surface morphology, porosity, grain size, oxidation, and bonding structures were analysed by SEM, AFM, spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE), XRD, and XPS.

전기뇌관을 사용하는 발파장소에서는 비전기뇌관을 사용하는 개소에 비해 더 많은 주의를 기울여야 한다. 왜냐하면 전기뇌관은 큰 미주전류가 발파회로 속으로 흘러 들어가면 조발이나 불발을 일으킬 수 있기 때문이다. 만일 암석의 전기전도도가 높거나 전기비저항이 낮으면 이런 위험은 더 증가한다. 왜냐하면 이런 암석은 미주전류가 발파회로 속으로 흘러 들어갈 수 있는 통로를 더 많이 제공할 것이기 때문이다. 본 연구에서는 국내의 한 발파장소에서 채취한 몇 개의 암석시편들을 대상으로 전기비저항 시험을 실시함으로써 대상현장에서의 전기뇌관의 사용가능성 여부를 평가하였다. 시험 결과, 황화금속 광물의 함량이 높은 암석시편에서는 전기비저항 값이 $39{\sim}47{\Omega}{\cdot}m$로 나타났으며, 이는 여타의 보통암석에서의 $15000{\sim}21000{\Omega}{\cdot}m$에 비하면 매우 낮은 수치이다. 특히, 전기비저항이 $39{\Omega}{\cdot}m$인 암석의 경우, 뇌관의 발화전류를 0.4 A로 가정했을 때 암석 1 m를 통해 미주전류가 흐른다면 외부전압이 2 V만 인가되어도 뇌관이 기폭될 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 발파현장에 황화금속을 다량 함유하고 있는 암석이 많이 분포하고 있다는 점을 고려할 때, 이 시험결과는 대상현장에서는 전기식 발파를 지양해야 함을 의미한다.
