Analysis of electrostatic discharge suppressors with ultra-low capacitance used for IC protection

The TDMM was successfully used to analyze the capacitance, the electric field, and the ESD current of an ESD suppressor. The obtained capacitance was also validated by measurement data. It is found that the maximum electric fields in the air gap between two discharge electrodes for the air gap width of 5–50 μm are much higher than the threshold electric field for air breakdown. A maximum ESD current of 4.7 mA was obtained during an ESD event, which may be sufficient to cause a malfunction in a high sensitivity integrated circuit.     

Two-Interval Even Order Differential Operators in Direct Sum Spaces

We characterize the domains of all self-adjoint extensions of the two-interval minimal operator which associated with two general even order linear ordinary differential expressions in terms of real-parameter solutions of the two differential equations. This is for endpoints which are regular or singular and for arbitrary deficiency index.

Alloyed (ZnS)x(CuInS2)1−x Semiconductor Nanorods: Synthesis,Bandgap Tuning and Photocatalytic Properties

Rod-like nanocrystals of the semiconductor alloy (ZnS)_x(CuInS₂)_1−x (ZCIS) have been colloidally prepared by using a one-pot non-injection-based synthetic strategy. The ZCIS nanorods crystallize in the hexagonal wurtzite structure and display preferential growth in the direction of the c axis. The bandgap of these quarternary alloyed nanorods can be conveniently tuned by varying the ratio of ZnS to CuInS₂. A non-linear relationship between the bandgap and the alloy composition is observed. The ZCIS nanorods are found to exhibit promising photocatalytic behaviour in visible-light-driven degradation of Rhodamine B.     

Stretchable and transparent hydrogels as soft conductors for dielectric elastomer actuators

A soft ionic conductor can serve as an artificial nerve in an artificial muscle. A polyacrylamide hydrogel is synthesized containing a hygroscopic salt, lithium chloride. Two layers of the hydrogel are used as ionic conductors to sandwich a dielectric elastomer and fabricate a highly stretchable and transparent actuator. When the two layers of the hydrogels are subject to a voltage, the actuator reduces its thickness and expands. An areal strain of 134% is demonstrated. The voltage‐strain curves are calculated by using a model that accounts for the elastic constraint of the hydrogel and the inhomogeneous deformation of the actuator. For actuators fabricated with the hydrogel of various thicknesses and with the dielectric elastomer of various prestretches, excellent agreements are found between experimental data and theoretical predictions. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

MICROMECHANICS OF MACROELECTRONICS

The advent of flat-panel displays has opened the era of macroelectronics. Enthusiasm is gathering to develop macroelectronics as a platform for many technologies, ranging from paper-like displays to thin-film solar cells, technologies that aim to address the essential societal needs for easily accessible information, renewable energy, and sustainable environment. The widespread use of these large structures will depend on their ruggedness, portability and low cost, attributes that will come from new material choices and new manufacturing processes. For example, thin-film devices on thin polymer substrates lend themselves to roll-to-roll fabrication, and impart flexibility to the products. These large structures will have diverse architectures, hybrid materials, and small features; their mechanical behavior during manufacturing and use poses significant challenges to the creation of the new technologies. This paper describes ongoing work in the emerging field of research - the mechanics of macroelectronics, with emphasis on the mechanical behavior at the scale of individual features, and over a long time.     

Daphnilongerine, an unprecedented fused pentacyclic ring system alkaloid from Daphniphyllum longeracemosum Rosenth.

An unusual yuzurine-type alkaloid daphnilongerine (1), with an unprecedented fused pentacyclic skeleton in addition to seven known ones, daphnigracine (2), daphnezomine R, daphnigraciline, yuzurine, longistylumphyllines A, daphnilongeranin C, and calycinine A, was isolated from the fruits of Daphniphyllum longeracemosum. The structure and relative stereochemistry of 1 were determined by spectroscopic analysis.
