Simulation of the Earth's Electromagnetic Clearance System (DEMETER)

J. P. Pothin [1], N. Gosselin [1],
[1] Nexter Systems, France

DEMETER is a magnetic field replicator. This system is designed to deceive anti tank mines. Numerical simulation (using COMSOL Multiphysics® software) allows to indicate DEMETER's performance in various environment and various configurations. The study of the magnetic field provide also ...

Modeling of Space-Charge Effects in 3D Thermionic Devices

P. Zilio [1], W. Raja [2], A. Alabastri [3], R. Proietti Zaccaria [2]
[1] Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia, Italy
[2] Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia, Italy
[3] Rice University, USA

The formation of space charge clouds is a well known problem that affects thermionic emitters in regimes of high current emission. Although some analytical models have been presented, suitable for 1D geometries, the modeling of the problem in complex 3D structures remains a challenge due ... Read More

Stress Evolution due to EM in Metal Line Confined: Model and Correlation with Experiments

G. Marti [1], L. Arnaud [2], Y. Wouters [3]
[1] STmicrolectronics & Univ. Grenoble Alpes-SIMAP, France
[2] Cea-Leti Minatec, Grenoble, France
[3] Univ. Grenoble Alpes-SIMAP, Grenoble, France

Electromigration induced failure is one of the main reliability issues for the microelectronics industry. The continuous scaling of the interconnect dimensions leads to higher operating current densities and temperatures, which accentuates the electromigration failure. As a consequence, ... Read More

Dielectric Adaptive Optical Gels

R. Eisenschmid [1],
[1] OPTIMA pharma GmbH, Schwäbisch Hall, Germany

Adaptive Optics is common sense, since many people use digital cameras with electromechanical iris actors on elastic autofocus lenses. This project tries to create a COMSOL Multiphysics based mathematical model of adaptive optics with electrostatically induced deformation of dielectric ... Read More

Resistive Losses in a 3D Coil

U. Hafner [1],
[1] Baumer Electric AG, Frauenfeld, Switzerland

In this presentation it is shown how an axially symmetric coil can be simulated in a non-symmetric environment. A rotationally symmetric coil can be simulated by using a 2D model. Doing so the serial equivalent resistance of the coil is obtained among other results. The influence of the ... Read More

Multiphysics Studies for the Micromegas Detector

E. Karentzos [1], T. Alexopoulos [2],
[1] National Technical University of Athens, CERN, Switzerland
[2] National Technical University of Athens, Greece

We present studies of the electric field configuration that guides the electrons to the strips through the mesh and its importance to the detector’s optimal operation. Furthermore, analysis of the gas propagation inside the chamber for different gas distribution schemes is discussed. All ... Read More

First Approach Toward a Modeling of the Impedance Spectroscopic Behavior of Microbial Living Cells

D. Rauly [1], P. Xavier [1], E. Chamberod [2], J. M. F. Martins [3], J. Angelidis [4], H. Belbachir [5]

[3] LTHE, Grenoble Alps University - CNRS - IRD, France
[4] LEAS, St. Ismier, France
[5] HBA Biotech SA, Grenoble, France

The subject of the interactions between electromagnetic (EM) fields and living cells is a strong issue for several decades [1]. Large number of works have been done to study the EM field penetration and inner induced currents in living microorganisms. Relevant information to be collected ... Read More

Design of ESS-Bilbao RFQ Linear Accelerator

J. L. Muñoz [1], D. de Cos [1], I. Madariaga [1], I. Bustinduy [1]
[1] ESS-Bilbao, Bilbao, Spain

The design of ESS-Bilbao RFQ (RadioFrequency Quadrupole) linear accelerator cavity using COMSOL Multiphysics is presented. The work includes geometry definition, electrostatics, electromagnetic and thermomechanical coupled simulations. The main part of the work corresponds to the ... Read More

Using Multiphysics for Detecting Atmospheric Ice Through MuVi Graphene - Atmospheric Icing Sensor

U. N. Mughal [1],
[1] Narvik University College, Norway

This paper is a preliminary design study to develop a hybrid atmospheric icing sensor which have an adequate potential to detect an icing event, icing type and icing rate together with icing load. The physics to detect icing event and icing type have been numerically understood using ... Read More

Analysis of Stress-induced Pockels Effect in Silicon Waveguides

C. L. Manganelli [1], P. Pintus [1], C. Bonati [2], F. Di Pasquale [1]
[1] Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna, Pisa, Italy
[2] INFN - Sezione di Pisa, Pisa, Italy

The recently discovered Pockels effect in strained silicon has made silicon a promising candidate material for optical modulators and switches. In this work, we propose a model that links the electro-optic effect to the applied strain (in fact to the strain gradient). This model may be ... Read More
