Time domain reflectometry measures the dielectric constant of a sample as a function of time by exposing the sample to a voltage pulse and analyzing the reflections. The process of electron transfer between two metal sites in a mixed valence species leads to a change in the orientation of the dipole moment which gives rise to dielectric relaxation. The technique is used to obtain rates of electron transfer for Eu(,3)S(,4) and perovskites of the general formula La(,1-x)Sr(,x)MO(,3), M = Ni, Co, Fe, Mn, 0 < x < 0.3. The results are described in terms of an electron hopping model and the rates obtained for Eu(,3)S(,4) are found to be superior to rates obtained by Mossbauer spectroscopy.","Made available in DSpace on 2014-12-15T23:17:23Z (GMT).
