A metamaterial structure formed by foamed metal and starch and oil-based electrorheological (ER) fluid is designed in this paper. Experiments show that the metamaterial structure exhibits a regulation effect on the amplitude and phase of the transmitted waves of 35–80 kHz ultrawideband ultrasonic waves in water. With the increase of the electric field, the transmission amplitude and phase of th...

We call a photonic crystal tunable if its spectrum can be altered by an external electric or magnetic field. One of the two constitutive components of the proposed periodic composite structure has either electric permittivity or magnetic permeability dependent on the external electric or magnetic field. Consequently, the electromagnetic spectrum of the photonic crystal can be altered over a wid...

In this paper, we present calculations for different parameters of quantum dot infrared photodetectors. We considered a structure which includes quantum dots with large conduction-band-offset materials (GaN/AlGaN). Single band effective mass approximation has been applied in order to calculate the electronic structure. Throughout the modeling, we tried to consider the limiting factors which dec...

Electric vehicles are one of the most complicated electric devices to simulate due to the significant number of different processes involved in electrical structure of it. There are concurrent processes of energy consumption and generation with different onboard systems, which make simulation tasks more complicated to perform. More accurate simulation on energy consumption can provide a better ...

We note that in extensions of the Standard Model that allow for a varying fine structure constant, α, all matter species, apart from right-handed neutrinos, will gain an intrinsic electric dipole moment (EDM). In a large subset of varying-α theories, all such particle species will also gain an effective electric charge. This charge will in general not be quantised and can result in macroscopic ...

Piezo-electric devices possess the ability to produce high voltages without load. However, to harvest this energy, the complex and capacitive internal structure must be deal with. This capacitive behavior makes the AC-DC conversion too involved. If a buck-boost topology is to be designed to regulate the DC output, the discontinuous mode provides constant input impedance for small amount of powe...

using hartree-fock su-sheriffer-heeger (hf-ssh) model, we have studied the dependence of the energies of the ground (magnetic triplet state) and the first exited (nonmagnetic singlet state) states of the size-2 trigonal zigzag graphene nanoflake (size-2 nf) on the intensity of an external in plane static electric field at zero temperature. we identify a transition from the magnetic triplet stat...

Electrospinning technique is currently one of the most important methods for preparing nanofiber. It is important and essential to analyze the distribution of electric field in electrospinning machine. The electric field’s distribution in the typical electrospinning device was calculated and analyzed based on finite element calculation theory of electric field. The electric field is optimized b...
