Electrical properties of AlN ceramics sintered with 1 wt% $Y_2O_3$ have been investigated. From the impedance spectroscopy, electrical conductivity of grain boundary was found to be much lower than that of grain. DC conductivity measurement showed the electrode polarization effects caused by blocking electrode. The heat-treatment at $1700^{\circ}C$ of the specimen sintered at $1850^{\circ}C$ transformed continuous pain boundary phases along triple boundary junctions into isolated particles in grain comers. The heat-treatment induced decreases both in grain and grain boundary conductivity, and in DC electrical conductivities. From the analysis on the transference number, ionic conductivity was shown to be more dominant than electron conductivity, which was due to ion compensation mechanism during oxygen incorporation into grain.

The electrical conductivity of SnO$_2$added ZnO was investigated using the DC and AC methods. The electrical conductivity of SnO$_2$added ZnO was decreased with increasing the concentration of SnO$_2$. The cal쳐lated effective dielectric constants of 3 mol%, 5 mo1%, and 7 mol% are ~7, ~13, and ~120, respectively. The factor of the decrease for the electrical conductivity seems to be the increase of the resistance of grain decreasing the size of grain.

This study looked at high performance copper-based alloys as LED lead frame materials with higher electrical-conductivity and the maintenance of superior tensile strength. This study investigated the effects on the tensile strength, electrical conductivity, thermal softening, size and distribution of the precipitation phases when Cr was added in Cu-Fe alloy in order to satisfy characteristics for LED Lead Frame material. Strips of the alloys were produced by casting and then properly treated to achieve a thickness of 0.25 mm by hot-rolling, scalping, and cold-rolling; mechanical properties such as tensile strength, hardness and electrical-conductivity were determined and compared. To determine precipitates in alloy that affect hardness and electrical-conductivity, electron microscope testing was also performed. Cr showed the effect of precipitation hardened with a $Cr_3Si$ precipitation phase. As a result of this experiment, appropriate aging temperature and time have been determined and we have developed a copper-based alloy with high tensile strength and electrical-conductivity. This alloy has the possibility for use as a substitution material for the LED Lead Frame of Cu alloy.

Standard test method for bulk electrical conductivity (ASTM C1760) provides a rapid indication of the concrete's resistance to the penetration of chloride ions by diffusion. In this paper a new approach for assessing the bulk electrical conductivity of saturated specimens of hardened concrete is presented. The test involves saturating concrete specimens with a 5 M NaCl solution before measuring the conductivity of the samples. By saturating specimens with a highly conductive solution, they showed virtually the same pore solution conductivity. Different concrete samples yield different conductivity primarily due to differences in their pore structure. The feasibility of the method has been demonstrated by testing different concrete mixtures consisting ordinary and blended cement of silica fume (SF) and calcined perlite powder (CPP). Two standard test methods of RCPT (ASTM C1202) and Bulk Conductivity (ASTM C1760) were also applied to all of the samples. The results show that for concretes containing SF and CPP, the proposed method is less sensitive towards the variations in the pore solution conductivity in comparison with RCPT and Bulk Conductivity tests. It seems that this method is suitable for the assessment of the performance and durability of different concretes containing supplementary cementitious materials.

ZnO materials with a wide band gap of approximately 3.3 eV has been used in transparent conducting oxides (TCO) due to exhibitinga high optical transmission, but its low conductivity acts as role of a limitation for conducting applications. Recently, Ga or Al-doped ZnO (GZO, AZO) becomes transparent conducting materials because of high optical transmission and excellent conductivity. However, the fundamental mechanism underlying the improvement of electrical conductivity of the GZO is still the subject of debate. In this study, we have fully investigated the reasons of high conductivity through the characterization of plane defects, crystal orientation, doping contents, crystal structure in Zn1-xGaxO (x=0, 3, 5.1, 5.6, 6.6 wt%). We manufactured Zn1-xGaxO by sintering ZnO and Ga2O3 powers, having a theoretical density of 99.9% and homogeneous Ga-dopant distribution in ZnO grains. The GZO containing 5.6 wt% Ga represents the highest electrical conductivity of $7.5{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}{\cdot}m$. In particular, many twins and superlattices were induced by doping Ga in ZnO, revealed by X-ray diffraction measurements and TEM (transmission electron microscopy) observations. Twins developed in conventional ZnO crystal are generally formed at (110) and (112) planes, but we have observed the twins at (113) plane only, which is the first report in ZnO material. Interestingly, the superlattice structure was not observed at the grains in which twins are developed and the opposite case was true. This structural change in the GZO resulted in the difference of electrical conductivity. Enhancement of the conductivity was closely related to the extent of Ga ordering in the GZO lattice. Maximum conductivity was obtained at the GZO with a superlattice structure formed ideal ordering of Ga atoms.

본 연구에서는 벤토나이트 슬러리의 전기적 특성에 대한 영향인자와 전기전도 메커니즘을 규명하고자 하였다. 벤토나이트 및 흙-벤토나이트 슬러리의 전기전도도는 벤토나이트 함량이 증가함에 따라 뚜렷한 선형적 증가 경향을 나타내어 전기전도도 측정기법이 슬러리에서의 벤토나이트 함량 평가에 적용될 수 있음을 확인하였다. 이때 슬러리의 전기전도도 변화는 주로 벤토나이트에 존재하는 양이온이 용해되어 용액의 전기전도도를 변화시키기 때문에 나타나는 결과로 확인되었다. 슬러리에서 벤토나이트 함량에 따른 전기전도도의 선형적 관계는 용액의 초기 전기전도도와 세립토 함량에 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났으며 이들의 영향을 고려하여 슬러리에서 벤토나이트 함량과 전기전도도와의 관계식을 도출하였다. 본 연구에서 제시된 관계식을 토대로 다양한 조건의 벤토나이트 및 흙-벤토나이트 슬러리에서 전기전도도 측정을 통하여 벤토나이트 함량에 대한 정량적인 평가가 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

The thermal stability of polyaniline-camphorsulfonic acid(PANI-CSA) film was studied as a function of temperature and time. A decrease in electrical conductivity of PANI-CSA film occurred when PANI-CSA film is subjected to temperature above 60$^{\circ}C$. From the result of thermogravimetry (TG), it was thought that the deterioration in electrical conductivity of PANI-CSA film was due to evaporation of water and residual solvent.

The electrical conductivity of TiO$_2$doped ZnO was investigated by means of complex impedance measurement and voltage-current source and meaurement unit. The e1ectrical conductivity of TiO$_2$added ZnO was increased with increasing the concentration of TiO$_2$. The calculated relative dielectric constant was decreased with increasing the concentration of TiO$_2$. The increase of electrical conductivity seems to be the effect of TiO$_2$donor doping.

Using the AC and DC methods we have studied th electrical properties of ZnO added TiO$_2$. The electrical conductivity of ZnO added TiO$_2$ was nearly unchanged with increasing the content of ZnO. Ac conductivity and conductance as a function of Frequency showed the similar trends. The impedance, admittance, and modulus spectrums were consistent with the results of DC conductivity.
