conductivity

One of the most exciting findings was a dramatic increase in diamond surface conductivity -- up to seven times higher -- after laser treatment.

But why is the conductivity of the conventional perovskite-type proton conductors so low?

Since its discovery in 2004, the material -- a single layer of carbon atoms -- has been touted for its host of unique properties, which include ultra-high electrical conductivity and remarkable tensile strength.

However, MOFs typically exhibit low thermal conductivity, making them poor thermal conductors.

Using these compounds, they produced liquid crystals with high electrical conductivity and thermotropic properties.
