Electrical Properties of 'Quantum Energy~® Radiating Material' Produced from Natural Clay Minerals of South Korea

摘要

Natural mineral clay and its derivatives gained much attraction by researchers due to their novel properties. Herein we report the electrical properties of the powder produced from natural mineral clay, which is collected from Hamangun in Gyeongnamof South Korea. The produced powder is officially listed as "Quantum Energy~® Radiating Material" (QERM) in South Korea. Prior to electrical measurements we analyzed the size of QERM and is found to be around 40 nm. The QERM shows excellent electrical conduction both is wet and dry conditions. The resistive current is observed to be 90 μA and 0.8 μA for wet and dry condition of QERM. The observed zeta potential is -37.74 mV. These findings are interesting and shows the possible pathways for utilization of this materials in various electrical device applications.
