  1. thank you alex for your post  :-*  ... i have stumbled across this piece before:
    http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/14604

    its price is acceptable, yet do you have an idea about for how much is the LabView soft  :o ($800+)


    also on mc a piece like this http://www.mccdaq.com/usb-data-acquisition/USB-1208FS%20.aspx should require at the very least TracerDAQ Pro which is even more expensive than the hardware itself :(


  2. yeah i have been reading relentlessly lately about practical evaluation of such theories like EMT, percolation, maxwell, pal model, etc... and all what i have found was an unbelievable lack in generality for such laws being very case-dependant with paradoxical behaviours for many composite cases  :o

    beside the crystals should induce photoemission already in the polymer phase which puts in quite of a predicable situation having to develop my unique theoretical interpretation to whatever (supposedly very accurate) data i get.  :-[

  3. yeah, decimal points

    have looked up for precision resistivity measuring devices and they provide no more than 4.5 digits display with 0.03% error, which is not good and not as portable as i wish they are very bulky indeed  :'(

    the polymer's conductivity ranges from 10^-8 to 10^-11 , depends on the synthesis method ... so my values should be around that.

    never mind about the avalanche effect as i have just read a paper describing the breakdown voltage of the polymer and it turned to be so high for practical thicknesses.

  4. Apparently you have misunderstood me  :(

    first  concerning the uniform electric field .. well thats partially right .. i need to have conductors at each end of the polymer so i can somehow measure the conductivity of the composite/polymer... so yes i'll someway or another need to implement an electric field this way.

    Yet, this has got nothing to do with electrophoresis, the crystals should bear no local charge and hence they won't move in an electric field.

    only the "freed electrons" though of the conducting polymer would be able to move .. and what i want to measure is how much more freed electrons got liberated by the effect of irradiation.

    Besides, the crystals should not ionize as they'd not be in a soluble or in a condition favouring their ionization .. neither should i be in need for high voltages i bet ..  :-\

  5. :-[ oh .. great in that case well:

    1- I can't deduce what do you particularly mean by a probe, but i should be wet moulding the polymer beads with the composite crystals in the shape i desire or in a membrane template with the desired thickness afterwards i should have some form of conductive plates across it (but i haven't managed the details of that yet as it should be easy).

    2- I should essentially be comparing between the blank and composite polymer blocks, quantitative measurements could be made afterwards to say the blank and that'd be factored by the relative values i get.

    3- the source of light  should be the embedded crystals themselves, they should be emitting 2 major frequency peaks one is a fraction of an eV higher than the band gap of the polymer and the other is 1.x eV aswell higher aswell.

    4. i can have access to a vacuum oven in that lab for sure but can't guarantee you high powers of available vacuum pumps .. not more than a couple HP's i think.


    now.. what should I do?  :-X


  6. I was wondering what would be the most simplistic approach, i have a particular polymer composite (based on emeraldine base) and this composite should exhibit some weak photoemissive property that i wish to assess. ???

    some have advised me with with an ADC that should give me up to 8 significant figures of voltage value across the polymer.

    others have advised a log amp that should probe directly the interesting fraction of the value.

    also an avalanche current detection assembly across the polymer was advised.

    i do not really know what to do .. and even if picked one of those i would be in need for its corresponding schematic  ::)


    any help would be appreciated,
    and thanks.
