We modify a Tunnel Effect Microscope (STM) with the purpose of analyzing the local production of photons in the electrostatic junction during the image taking process. The novelty of this project compared to previous studies is that it is intended to be developed from the beginning as ... En savoir plus
A MEMS based electrostatic field sensor is presented which uses capacitive interrogation of an electrostatic force deflected microstructure. The deflection of the sensor is calculated both by simulation and theoretical model and it has been shown that the results of the simulations have ... En savoir plus
Common mode chokes are good EMI filters in electronic power systems [1]. For such devices, values for their impedance are critical to their performances as noise filters. In this study, a two-step finite element approach is employed to study the impedance variations of a ferrite-core ... En savoir plus
Helicon Injected Inertial Plasma Electrostatic Rocket (HIIPER) [1] is an advanced space propulsion system being studied in University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. It has been depicted in Figure 1. An experimental setup is already being used to gather dynamics of plasma with the help of ... En savoir plus
This paper presents a novel design of a RF MEMS Switch. The switch is a capacitive type, which is actuated by an electrostatic force. The structure of the switch consists of a CPW (coplanar waveguides) transmission lines and a suspended membrane. The modelling of switch is done using ... En savoir plus
Electrowetting on dielectric devices use a conducting (water) and insulating (oil) liquid phase, in conjunction, on a dielectric layer . In these devices, the wetting properties of the liquid phases can be manipulated by applying an electric field. The electric field can rupture the ... En savoir plus
Predicting and controlling the formation of droplets from a liquid jet is a critical problem in a variety of applications ranging from fuel injection to paint sprays. It is known that liquid droplets subjected to an electric field acquire a net electrostatic charge via induction, and ... En savoir plus
For our simulation we used the Piezoelectric Devices interface. The structure was set with (clamped) fix constraint boundaries to both ends. The bottom electrode was set to be the ground for the electrostatic physics and the top electrode was set to be a Terminal with potential of 10V. A ... En savoir plus
A research team at FSU CAPS is developing a novel fast disconnect switch based on a piezoelectric actuator for use in next-gen electric power distribution systems. COMSOL Multiphysics® software was used to optimize geometry and material selection of the disconnect switch. Current ... En savoir plus
The aim of this research is to study the electrostatic properties of heterogeneous media that have fractal geometries. Currently, composite dielectrics are assumed to have regular geometric structures (integer-based dimensions) and an isotopic, homogeneous dielectric permittivity; but, ... En savoir plus
