Abstract:This paper reports on the systematic measurement and modelling of the impedance spectra in Bentonite support (solid pellets) with various Ni content (x = 0%, 1%, 3%, 5%, 7%, 13%, 15%, 17% and 20%) for the aim of investigating the dielectric loss tangent versus x. The extracted conductivity and loss tangent exhibited nonlinear variations with x and only rapidly increased above x = 13%. This behavior is more pronounced at low frequencies < 100 kHz and is qualitatively consistent with reports about the conductivi… Show more
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.
