Tunable MEMS Capacitor for mm and μm Wave Generation

Arpita Das[1], Amrita Nandy[1], Sakuntala Mahapatra[1], Sk. Mohammed Ali[1], Minu samantary[1]
[1]National MEMS design centre ,Department of Electronics and Telecommunication, Trident Academy of Technology, Biju Pattnaik University of Technology , India

This paper demonstrates the design of a tunable MEMS capacitor with two plates (one movable and one fixed). The response time obtained is 5μs. The tunable capacitor plays an important role in RF circuits. We focus on a tunable capacitor simulated using COMSOL Multiphysics®. In an ... Read More

Multiphysics Analysis of a Thermo-Acoustic MHD Inductive Generator

R. Forcinetti [1], S. Carcangiu [1], A. Montisci [1],
[1] DIEE, University of Cagliari, Cagliari, Italy

Magneto-Hydrodynamic (MHD) power generation systems were originally investigated starting from the fact that the interaction of a plasma with a magnetic field must take place at much higher temperatures than could be observed in a mechanical turbine. The main problems of traditional MHD ... Read More

Computation of Capacitance, Inductance, and Potential Distribution of Integrated-Circuit Interconnects for Unshielded Four Conductors with Three Levels Systems

S.M. Musa[1], M.N.O. Sadiku[1], J.D. Oliver[1]
[1]Prairie View A&M University, Prairie View, TX, USA

In this paper an attempt has been made to design and analyze integrated circuit interconnects for unshielded four conductors with three levels system using Finite Element Method (FEM). The computational and simulation work has been carried out with help of COMSOL Multiphysics software. ... Read More

Optimization of Artificial Diffusion Stabilization Techniques and Corresponding Mesh Density Distribution in Drift Dominated Transport of Diluted Species

J. Jadidian[1], M. Zahn[1], N. Lavesson[2], O. Widlund[2], K. Borg[2]
[1]Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA, USA
[2]ABB Corporate Research, Västerås, Sweden

This paper presents an optimized combination of artificial diffusion techniques to stabilize a drift dominated streamer discharge model which includes COMSOL Multiphysics’ Transport of Diluted Species modules for positive ion, negative ion, and electron charge densities, coupled through ...

Deposition of Submicron Charged Spherical Particles in the Trachea of the Human Airways

H.O. Åkerstedt[1]
[1]Luleå University of Technology, Luleå, Sweden

This paper presents a numerical study of the deposition of submicron charged spherical particles caused by convection, Brownian and turbulent diffusion in a pipe with a smooth wall and with a cartilaginous ring wall structure (see figure). The model is supposed to describe deposition of ... Read More

3D-Simulation of Action Potential Propagation in a Squid Giant Axon

R. Appali[1], S. Petersen[1], J. Gimsa[2], and U. Rienen[1]
[1] Institute of General Electrical Engineering, Chair of Electromagnetic Field Theory, University of Rostock, Germany
[2] Institute of Biology, Chair of Biophysics, University of Rostock, Germany

Study of neurons plays a key role in the fields of basic and medical research aiming at the development of electrically active implants. The Fitzhugh-Nagumo equations are used to model and simulate the spike generation and propagation in a squid giant axon using COMSOL Multiphysics® 3.5a ... Read More

The Fast Model for Ionic Wind Simulation

A. Samusenko[1], Yu. Stishkov[1], P. Zhidkova[1]
[1]Saint Petersburg State University, Research and Educational Center “Electrophysics”, St Petersburg, Russia

Ionic wind is the gas flow induced by the corona discharge. Ions produced by corona are accelerated by electric field and transfer their momentum to neutral molecules. Using ionic wind one can convert electric energy to kinetic energy of air flow almost directly. The phenomenon of ionic ... Read More

Development of Stress Relief Suspensions for Micro-Machined Silicon Membranes

W. Kronast[1], U. Mescheder[1], B. Müller[1]
[1]Hochschule Furtwangen, Furtwangen, Germany

A new design concept for large (6 mm diameter) dynamically focusing silicon membrane mirrors using electrostatic actuation was realized. With this concept membrane buckling by residual compressive stress inside the membrane can be avoided. To eliminate the influence of residual stress ... Read More

Study of the Optical Field Scattering Enhancement on a 2D Rough Surface Using COMSOL Multiphysics®

P. de Carvalho Gomes [1], P. Goldberg Oppenheimer [1]
[1]School of Chemical Engineering, University of Birmingham, UK

Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) phenomenon is well known for its detection sensitivity, however, to better understand how it works a better insight needs to be developed on the physics behind the phenomenon. The physical aspects known to produce SERS effect are the use of ... Read More

Modeled Electroformed MEMS Variable Capacitors for Cobalt Iron Alloy Magnetostriction Measurements

E. Langlois [1], P. Finnegan [1], J. Pillars [1], T. Monson [1], C. J. Pearce [1], C. St. Johns [1], M. Ballance [1]
[1] Sandia National Laboratories, Albuquerque, NM, USA

Electroplated CoFe alloys demonstrating Joule magnetostriction (i.e., a large change in material shape induced by an applied magnetic field) have been recently developed for the creation of microfabricated magnetoelastic resonators for tagging applications. This development requires a ... Read More
