Research problems linked to this topic
- Silicone rubber (SiR), as a basic insulating material, is widely used in insulators for HVDC transmission lines.
- Ionic conductivity in oxide composite thin films has recently drawn growing attention due to the unique interfacial phenomena and huge application potential.
- Porcelain insulators have a long history and wide application range in power systems, but just like any other insulator, they can fail.
- Topological insulators have been the subject of intense research interest due to their unique surface states that are topologically protected against scattering or defects.
- Many thermoelectric materials feature irregular electrical conductivity with thermally activated transport below ∼600 K and metallic behavior at high temperatures, despite possessing degenerate carrier concentrations.
- Films of colloidal TiO2 nanoparticles are widely used in photovoltaic and photocatalytic applications, and the nature of electrical conductivity in such materials is therefore of both fundamental and practical interest.
- Despite tremendous efforts having been made in the exploration of new high-performance proton-conducting materials, systems with superprotonic conductivity higher than 10−1 S·cm−1 are scarcely reported.
- Fabrication of thick YBa2Cu3Oy (YBCO) films with high critical current densities(Jc) has remained one of the major challenges in the coated conductor development process.
