摘要
The electrical transport properties of composites of polymer and iron carbide nanoparticles embedded in carbon have been studied from 300 to 1.3 K. The composites show percolative type behavior with a low threshold value. The XRD shows amorphous nature of the composite. The temperature dependence of conductivity follows two different Efros-Shkiovskii variable range hopping mechanisms (sigma = sigma(0) exp[-(T-ES/T)(1/2)]) with different pre-exponential factors (rho(0)) and different TES values in the range of 300-6 K. Thermogravimetric analysis shows that the thermal stability of composites does not depend on filler content to a large extent. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
