Modeling of the EHD effects on hydrodynamics and heat transfer within a flat miniature heat pipe including axial capillary grooves

A numerical model for an electrohydrodynamic (EHD) grooved Flat Miniature Heat Pipe (FMHP) is developed. Two microchannel shapes are considered as axial capillary structures: square and triangle grooves. For both groove shapes, the electric field affects the liquid-vapor radius of curvature which decreases in the condenser and increases in the evaporator under the action of the electric field. The liquid and vapor velocities are also affected by the EHD effects. The electric field effects on the velocities depend on the FMHP zone. It is also demonstrated that the electric field increases the vapor pressure drop; however, it decreases the liquid pressure drop. The liquid-wall and vapor-wall viscous forces as well as the shear liquid-vapor forces are affected by the electric field. The analysis of the electric forces shows that the dielectrophoretic forces which act on the liquid-vapor interface are predominant and their order of magnitude is much higher than the Coulomb forces. Finally, it is also demonstrated that the capillary limit increases with the electric field for both groove shapes.     

An integrated plastic microchip for enhancing electrophoretic separation using tunable pressure-driven backflows

Microfluidic CE (MCE) is an effective solution for rapid and sensitive determination of multiple analytes. Herein, a dynamic coated cyclic olefin copolymer microchip was developed having an on-chip micropump for fluid velocity adjusting in electrophoretic separations. This micropump was fabricated by constructing a polyacrylamide gel membrane at one channel terminal. Once applying electric field across the membrane, a pressure-driven flow generated automatically to balance the electroosmotic flow (EOF) mismatch at the channel-membrane interface. The influence of gel precursor concentration and operating voltages on the fluid velocity was carefully evaluated. Moreover, the highly integration of injection, separation, and pumping units of the MCE system minimized the dead volume and provides satisfied column efficiency. Experiments showed that by adjusting of pumping voltage reduced the fluid velocity by a factor of 6, resulting six- and threefold resolving power enhancements of rhodamine dye mixture and amino acid mixture, respectively. Furthermore, the developed MCE method was applied for rhodamines and amino acids quantitation in food and cosmetics, with standard addition recoveries of 87.3–106.9% and 89.9–117.4%, respectively. These results were also confirmed by standard HPLC method, revealing the application potential in fast and onsite analysis of complex samples.     

Hot carrier degradation mechanism interpretation by lateral distribution of interface and bulk trap density

We investigated the drain avalanche hot carrier effect (DAHC) of p-type metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistor of 0.14 μm channel length (PMOSFET) with SiON gate dielectric. Using three different stress conditions of substrate maximum current, the changes to threshold voltage, maximum transconductance, saturation current and channel leakage current was monitored. Concurrently, the lateral distribution of interface trap density (N_it) and bulk trapped charge density (N_ot) with stress time has been extracted along the 70 nm half channels from gate edge to drain junction, which is the first endeavor in describing charge traps along sub 100 nm short channels. The degradation of the PMOSFET was described by combining electrical property with N_it and N_ot profiles. Hot electron punch through (HEIP) effect was evidenced by negative Not distribution near the drain junction while more severe hot carrier degradation was successfully demonstrated by the empirical power law dependence of the electrical parameters N_it and N_ot. We have studied the evolution of degradation behavior along highly scaled tens of nanometer channel, and N_it and N_ot profile offers systematic study and interpretation of degradation mechanism of hot carrier effect in MOSFET devices.

A novel demonstration of photoacoustic Raman spectroscopy with combined stimulated Raman pumping in H2 molecule

We present the experimental demonstration of a novel, efficient, and vibrational selective technique to prepare population in vibrational level v″ = 1 using the stimulated Raman pumping. Photoacoustic Raman signal has been studied in non-radiative transitions in the molecule H₂ (v″ = 0) and (v″ = 1). The population fraction in the v″ = 1 level can be estimated by using combined photoacoustic Raman spectroscopy with stimulated Raman pumping for the first time.     

Parametric amplification at low-frequency pumping and generation of four-mode entangled states

We show that parametric amplification at low-frequency pumping can be implemented in aperiodic nonlinear photonic crystals. In this process, the intensities of the waves with frequencies higher than the pumping frequency increase with increase in the interaction length as in the case of the standard process of parametric amplification at high-frequency pumping. The process under consideration includes a nondegenerate parametric down-conversion followed by two parametric up-conversions in the same pumping wave. As a result, generation at four new frequencies arises. Quantum analysis of the process demonstrates the presence of entanglement in the states of four modes. Talk presented at the oral issue of J. Russ. Laser Res. dedicated to the memory of Professor Vladimir A. Isakov, Professor Alexander S. Shumovsky, and Professor Andrei V. Vinogradov held in Moscow February 21–22, 2008.     

Pressure dependence of the spectral lines of a high power, high pressure atomic fluorine laser pumped by a charge transfer from He2

Various transitions of a pressure tunable atomic fluorine laser have been observed over a rather wide spectral range, 634.8–755.2 nm, by exciting the atmospheric pressure of helium containing 0.2% F₂ in a preionized Blumlein discharge device with a charging voltage of 10–15 kV. The intensity of two quartet transitions, 739.9 and 755.2 nm, increases with pressure, whereas that of the other quartet and doublet lines, 634.8, 641.4, 712.8 and 731.1 nm, decreases with increasing atmospheric fill-pressure. The pumping mechanisms at high pressures appear to be different from those at relatively low pressures.
