Helicon Injected Inertial Plasma Electrostatic Rocket (HIIPER) [1] is a plasma thruster being researched at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. It has been shown in Figure 1. It involves a helicon source along with an Inertial Electrostatic Confinement (IEC) chamber. IEC is a fusion ... Read More
In this paper a finite element method(FEM) study of a surface acoustic wave (SAW)device excited by electrostatic coupling method is performed by using COMSOL Multiphysics. We have modeled a Rayleigh wave type SAW device by choosing YZ Lithium niobate as the substrate. The effect of ... Read More
Depletion layer MEMS actuators have been demonstrated in the past in p-n junctions as well as Schottky barrier interfaces to be effective transducers for internal transduction of high Q MEMS resonators without the need for piezoelectric materials or small resonator-electrode gaps. ... Read More
Condenser microphones will have an electrical output for any displacement of the membrane relative to the back plate, which is usually bound to the microphone housing. For the typical use case, a pressure input will create a pressure difference across the membrane, which causes a ... Read More
The thermal load on the system components is one of the technical problems in the development of microfocus X-ray tubes. To improve their stability in long-term use, it is important to understand the physical phenomena and their influence on the system stability and filament lifetime. To ... Read More
Vibration-based Piezoelectric Energy harvesters convert ambient vibration energy into an applicable electrical charge for wireless sensors, IoT applications, and charging the battery, which is most important to range improvement of the Electric Vehicle. This study analyses different ... Read More
High Voltage Electronic Transformers operate at high frequency, typically in a range of tens-to-hundreds of kHz. Knowing and tuning their parasitic parameters is an important aspect at the design phase. Although a vast amount of analytical means is available for calculating parasitics, ... Read More
While electric double layers play a crucial role in many biophysical processes involving charged molecular species (such as proteins and DNA), they are often a limiting factor in technological applications where charged conductors are brought in contact with electrolyte solutions. ... Read More
A plate Differential Mobility Analyser (DMA) is composed of two parallel plates between which aerosol-laden air flows. A specific device charges the aerosol particles electrically before they enter the DMA. Applying a voltage difference between the plates allows to deflect the particles ... Read More
The present work focuses on modeling a new experimental technique: Scanning Electro-chemical Potential Microscopy (SECPM), which is used to probe the potential profile of the electric double layer (EDL). We used an electrostatic approach to compute the EDL potential measured within the ... Read More
