We herein present comparative investigation on the dielectric properties of both ceramic and single crystal SrTiO3 samples in the temperature from room temperature to 1073 K. Two relaxations were observed in both samples. They behave as Debye-like and relaxor-like relaxations in ceramic and single crystal samples, respectively. These relaxations were found to be bulk effect related to oxygen-vacancy. In single crystal sample, the relaxations result from the long-range conduction associated with singly and doubly charged oxygen vacancies. In ceramic sample, the oxygen vacancies are more strongly localized in relation to the crystal. This leads to a new phenomenon of formation and dissociation of oxygen vacancy clusters before the vacancies make contribution to the long-range conduction. The low-temperature relaxation in ceramic sample was determined by the clustering and dissociating processes of the oxygen vacancies. The high-temperature relaxation in ceramic sample was found to share the same mechanism as that in the single crystal sample.
The self-diffusion coefficients of liquid methylcyclohexane have been measured as a function of temperature and pressure over the density range 2.5⩽ρ/ρc⩽3.3 and temperature range 0.35⩽T/Tc⩽0.5 using the NMR spin echo technique with a fixed field gradient. Shear viscosities and densities have also been determined under the same experimental conditions. An approximate analysis of the experimental diffusion and viscosity data in terms of the rough sphere model of liquids yields effective hard core diameters and a parameter A that reflects the degree of coupling between the rotational and translational motion of methylcylohexane molecules. The strong temperature dependence of this coupling arises most likely from the nonspherical shape of the methylcyclohexane molecule. The behavior of the rotational–translational coupling and its possible connection to melting properties and to the experimental finding that methylcyclohexane does not form an orientationally disordered crystalline phase is discussed in a qualitative way.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
