Fabrication and characteristics of thin disc piezoelectric transformers based on piezoelectric buzzers with gap circles

This paper investigates design, fabrication and test of thin disc piezoelectric transformers (PTs) based on piezoelectric buzzers with gap circles at different diameters of the gap circles. The performance test is focused on characteristics of voltage gains, including maximum voltage gains and maximum-gain frequencies, for each piezoelectric transformer under different load conditions. Both a piezoelectric buzzer and a gap circle on a silver electrode of the buzzer are needed to build any type of the PTs. Here, the gap circle is used to form a ring-shaped input electrode and a circle-shaped output electrode for each piezoelectric transformer. To do so, both structure and connection of a PT are first expressed. Then, operating principle of a PT and its related vibration mode observed by a carbon-power imaging technique are described. Moreover, an experimental setup for characterizing each piezoelectric transformer is constructed. Finally, effects of diameters of the gap circles on characteristics of voltage gains at different load resistances are discussed.

AFM analysis of piezoelectric nanogenerator based on n-diamond/n-ZnO heterojunction

We have demonstrated a high performance piezoelectric nanogenerator by scanning a diamond-coated conductive tip on ZnO nanorod arrays in an AFM system with contact-mode. About 95% ZnO nanorods generate piezoelectric current due to the excellent mechanical and electrical properties of the tip. The tip's nitrogen-doped diamond coating is the key factor to maintain effective physical contact and electrical contact to ZnO nanorods, leading to efficient piezoelectric generation. Rectifying n⁺-n heterojunction is formed when the nitrogen-doped diamond tip contacted with a ZnO nanorod, which plays an important role in accumulating and releasing piezoelectric charges of the piezoelectric nanogenerator. Our research indicates that conductive diamond film is an ideal electrode for this type of piezoelectric nanogenerator.     

Two-dimensional fracture analysis of piezoelectric material based on the scaled boundary node method

A scaled boundary node method(SBNM) is developed for two-dimensional fracture analysis of piezoelectric material,which allows the stress and electric displacement intensity factors to be calculated directly and accurately. As a boundarytype meshless method, the SBNM employs the moving Kriging(MK) interpolation technique to an approximate unknown field in the circumferential direction and therefore only a set of scattered nodes are required to discretize the boundary. As the shape functions satisfy Kronecker delta property, no special techniques are required to impose the essential boundary conditions. In the radial direction, the SBNM seeks analytical solutions by making use of analytical techniques available to solve ordinary differential equations. Numerical examples are investigated and satisfactory solutions are obtained, which validates the accuracy and simplicity of the proposed approach.

Terahertz bandwidth all-optical Hilbert transformers based on long-period gratings

A novel, all-optical design for implementing terahertz (THz) bandwidth real-time Hilbert transformers is proposed and numerically demonstrated. An all-optical Hilbert transformer can be implemented using a uniform-period long-period grating (LPG) with a properly designed amplitude-only grating apodization profile, incorporating a single π-phase shift in the middle of the grating length. The designed LPG-based Hilbert transformers can be practically implemented using either fiber-optic or integrated-waveguide technologies. As a generalization, photonic fractional Hilbert transformers are also designed based on the same optical platform. In this general case, the resulting LPGs have multiple π-phase shifts along the grating length. Our numerical simulations confirm that all-optical Hilbert transformers capable of processing arbitrary optical signals with bandwidths well in the THz range can be implemented using feasible fiber/waveguide LPG designs.     

Faraday mirror-typed optical current transformers and its theoretical analysis

A Faraday mirror-typed optical current transformer (OCT) design with turn-back optical paths is proposed to overcome the harmful effects of the linear birefringence inside bulk glass current sensing head, which can double the sensitivity and improve the state of polarization of the system output. The theoretical analysis of the working principle, the simulation of the polarization state of the output light beam and the comparison between it and the OCT with polarization preserving total reflection (PPTR) layers are presented. The results show that this design has a good suppressing effect on the degeneration of the polarization state of the output light, which has certain reference significance on the performance improvement of the present bulk glass OCT, and the development of practical OCTs.

Simulations and analysis of a piezoelectric micropump

A number of micropumps have been proposed in the last few years based on different actuating principles and fabricated by different technologies. However, many of those micropumps have been designed taking into account primarily available microfabrication technologies rather than appropriate pump performance analysis. In fact, not all papers are available in the literature presenting theoretical models usable to describe the functioning and predict the performance of those micropumps. In this paper, we present a new micropump model and FEA method suitable for guiding the design and predicting the performance of a micropump actuated by a piezoelectric actuator. The model takes into account the influence of piezoelectric transducer and pump geometry. Simulations have been performed and compared with results of experiments on a prototype micropump fabricated in our laboratory.     

Error analysis on two-waveplate polarization state transformers by geometry method

The polarization transform errors of two-waveplate polarization state transformers (TWPST), which consist of quarter-waveplate (QWP) and half-waveplate (HWP), are discussed in detail. The error model of the TWPST based on a new and simple two dimensions geometry method instead of traditional Poincaré sphere method or Jones matrix method are proposed. We did the numerical calculations based on the error model of the TWPST. The results show that the output polarization state errors of the TWPST are chiefly sensitive to the azimuth angle errors of the QWP, and that there exist a pair of optimal error azimuth angles of QWP and HWP, which can minimize the azimuth angle error of the output polarization state of TWPST, and that the ellipticity error of output polarization state of TWPST is dependent only on the azimuth angle errors of QWP. The TWPST have enough accuracy to evaluate the polarization related effects (PRE) in the optical communication systems.

Ammonia-based thermochemical transformers

The implementation of thermochemical systems based on the reaction between chlorides and ammonia involves certain unusual aspects of thermodynamics and reactivity as well as peculiarities in the evolution of the grain texture and of the beds during the reaction. It is the evolution of the beds that is the most unusual, calling for appropriate solutions involving new implementations of porous beds with optimal characteristics of elasticity and heat and mass transfer. The choice of either multi-effect or multi-salt systems depends on the experimental performances of laboratory pilot systems currently under test or development, and on the real costs derived from experimentation with industrial prototypes.

Frequency analysis of piezoelectric nanowires with surface effects

In this paper, the modified Timoshenko beam model is used to analyze the vibration of piezoelectric nanowires in the presence of surface effects. Analytical relations are given for the natural frequency of nanowires by accounting for the effects of surface elasticity, residual surface tension, and transverse shear deformation. Through an example, it is shown that the natural frequency depends on both the surface stresses and piezoelectricity. This study is expected to provide useful insights for the design of piezoelectric-nanowire-based nanodevices.
