Despite the simplicity of the hexagonal graphene structure formed by carbon atoms, the electronic behavior shows fascinating properties, giving high expectation for the possible applications of graphene in the field. The Graphene Nano-Ribbon Field Effect Transistor (GNRFET) is an emerging technology that received much attention in recent years. In this paper, we investigate the device performan...

Classical relativistic field theory is used as a basis for a general discussion of the problem of splitting up the total energy-momentum tensor ofa system into contributions from its component subsystems. Both the Minkowski and Abraham forms (including electrostriction) arise naturally in alternative split-up procedures applied to a nondispersive dielectric fluid. The case of an electromagnetic...

Introduction Electromagnetic wave propagation in tissue is known to cause dielectric resonance effects if the wavelength reaches the object dimension. At 3.0T, dielectric resonance effects are visible in body MR imaging predominantly in heavier patients and in patients with intraabdominal fluid collections (i.e. ascites). The use of multiple transmit channels can provide better control of the r...

This paper presents results of experimental investigations on natural esters dielectric and coolant fluids regarding the breakdown strength. The breakdown voltage (BDV) for small and medium oil gaps (from 2 mm up to 40 mm) under AC and lightning impulse (LI), uniform and non-uniform electrical field is measured. Experiments involve new, aged and with mineral oil contaminated natural esters. The...

The behavior of freestanding lipid bilayer membranes under the influence of dielectric force potentials was studied by trapping, holding, and rotating individual giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) inside dielectrophoretic microfield cages. Using laser scanning confocal microscopy and three-dimensional image reconstructions of GUVs labeled with fluorescent membrane probes, field strength and freq...

Rayleigh-Plateau instability is known to impose a stability limit for the length of a liquid bridge in weightless conditions. This fundamental limit may be exceeded by using a light field to form and stabilize dielectric fluid bridges (A. Casner, J.P. Delville, Europhys. Lett. 65, 337 (2004)). Using both new experimental data as well as a new theoretical approach, we show that both the size and...

The fabrication of low-voltage flexible organic thin film transistors using zirconia (ZrO(2)) dielectric layers prepared via supercritical fluid deposition was studied. Continuous, single-phase films of approximately 30 nm thick ZrO(2) were grown on polyimide (PI)/aluminum (Al) substrates at 250 °C via hydrolysis of tetrakis(2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptane-dionato) zirconium in supercritical ca...

When an electromagnetic wave (light) in a dielectric medium of index n1 is incident upon an interface of a different dielectric material of a lower optical density, n2 at an angle θ1 greater than the critical angle, θc = sin−1(n2/n1), total internal reflection (TIR) occurs. Although all of the incident energy is reflected, an electromagnetic field with exponentially decreasing intensity propaga...

The structure factor for electric field correlations in the two dimensional Coulomb fluid is simulated and compared to theories of dielectric function. Singular changes occur at BKT insulator conductor transition, as well a higher temperature correlation transition between poor electrolyte perturbed Debye-H\"uckel fluid. Structure factors are found differ canonical grand ensembles, with showing...
