Time-dependent interaction across two conducting spheres in an applied electrostatic field

Charged particles exist widely in variety of technological areas as well as in nature. Even a weak charge on the particles can significantly influence their electric interaction. We investigated the phenomenon of time-dependent electric interaction between two conducting spheres in an electrostatic field. A mirror-image method was developed to analyze this system, and the fundamental role of the charges on the spheres was studied. We concluded that charges conducted to the lower sphere through the alumina tube used in our system play a main role in determining the time-dependent interaction, whereas the influence from air ions is negligible.     

Breakdown Pattern of Hydrocarbons by Laser Breakdown Time-of-flight Mass Spectrometry

The laser breakdown time-of-flight mass spectrometry was developed and applied to detect the breakdown patterns of hydrocarbons that are significant to improve the detectability of heavy metals compounded in various mixtures such as particles and hydrocarbons. The laser wavelength dependence of this method was evaluated using 1064, 532, and 266 nm laser outputs. Breakdown processes using 1064 and 532 nm outputs showed less interference of fragmentation for the detection of various heavy metals. The method was applied to various hydrocarbons and it showed the possibility of categorization of hydrocarbon groups using the pattern of breakdown products.     

Newton trajectories for the tilted Frenkel–Kontorova model

ABSTRACT

Newton trajectories are used for the Frenkel–Kontorova model of a finite chain with free-end boundary conditions. We optimise stationary structures, as well as barrier breakdown points for a critical tilting force were depinning of the chain happens. These special points can be obtained straight forwardly by the tool of Newton trajectories. We explain the theory and add examples for a finite-length chain of a fixed number of 2,?3,?4,?5 and 23 particles.     

Investigation of geometry dependence on MOSFET linearity in the impact ionization region using Volterra series

In this paper, investigation of device geometry on intermodulation distortion (IMD) of metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) is presented in the impact ionization region based on the Volterra analysis. As the gate length or gate width decreases, observed linearity improvement of the MOSFET in the breakdown regime is attributed to the more obvious breakdown inductance nonlinearity which cancels the transconductance nonlinearity. Linearity of the MOSFETs can be improved by choosing suitable device geometry in the breakdown region. It is believed the presented analysis results can benefit the reliability investigation for MOSFET linearity in the breakdown region.

Calibration Curve with Improved Limit of Detection for Cadmium in Soil: An Approach to Minimize the Matrix Effect in Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopic Analysis

The present article describes a working or combined calibration curve in laser-induced breakdown spectroscopic analysis, which is the cumulative result of the calibration curves obtained from neutral and singly ionized atomic emission spectral lines. This working calibration curve reduces the effect of change in matrix between different zone soils and certified soil samples because it includes both the species' (neutral and singly ionized) concentration of the element of interest. The limit of detection using a working calibration curve is found better as compared to its constituent calibration curves (i.e., individual calibration curves). The quantitative results obtained using the working calibration curve is in better agreement with the result of inductively coupled plasma–atomic emission spectroscopy as compared to the result obtained using its constituent calibration curves.     

Dielectric barrier discharge in needle-to-plane configuration: Model of surface charge relaxation

Relaxation process of surface charge owing to dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) in “needle – air gap – polyethylene terephthalate film – plane” configuration is considered. Experimental data of the surface charge relaxation (SCR) are obtained by means of the rotating capacitive probe. Taking into account Gaussian radial distribution of accumulated charge density, effective surface and volume electrical conductivities of a barrier dielectric, phenomenological model of SCR for any dielectric thickness is proposed and exact solutions are obtained. The adequacy of the model is confirmed by the numerical computation. There is a good agreement between the experimental results and the model calculations.     

雪崩击穿条件下4.5kV IGBT器件的背面优化研究

The static avalanche breakdown behavior of 4.5 kV high-voltage IGBT is studied by theory analysis and experiment. The avalanche breakdown behaviors of the 4.5 kV IGBTs with different backside structures are investigated and compared by using the curve tracer. The results show that the snap back behavior of the breakdown waveform is related to the bipolar PNP gain, which leads to the deterioration of the breakdown voltage. There are two ways to optimize the backside structure, one is increasing the implant dose of the N C buffer layer, the other is decreasing the implant dose of the P C collector layer. It is found that the optimized structure is effective in suppressing the snap back behavior and improving the breakdown characteristic of high voltage IGBT.     

Effect of Ge-GeO2 co-doping on non-ohmic behaviour of TiO2-V2O5-Y2O3 varistor ceramics

An investigation was made into the effect of doping with the elemental crystal Ge or/and GeO₂ on the TiO₂-V₂O₅-Y₂O₃ varistor ceramics. The result shows that as the doping contents of V₂O₅ and Y₂O₃ are 0.5 mol%, respectively, co-doping with 0.3 mol% Ge and 0.9 mol% GeO₂ makes the highest α value (α = 12.8), the lowest breakdown voltage V_1mA (V_1mA = 15.8 V/mm) and the highest grain boundary barrier Φ_B (Φ_B = 1.48 eV), which is remarkably superior to the TiO₂-V₂O₅-Y₂O₃ varistor ceramics undoped with Ge and GeO₂ and mono-doped with Ge or GeO₂. The TiO₂-V₂O₅-Y₂O₃-Ge-GeO₂ ceramic has the prospect of becoming a novel varistor ceramic with excellent electrical properties.
