Organic micro/nanocrystals based on small organic molecules have drawn extensive attention due to their potential application in field-effect transistors, electrochemical sensors, solar cells, etc. Herein, the recent advances for from perspective of molecule aggregation mode, morphology modulation, and optical property modulation are reviewed. The stacking mode intermolecular interaction depend...

Thermal dependency of material characteristics in micro electromechanical systems strongly affects their performance, design, and control. Hence, it is essential to understand and model that in MEMS devices to optimize their designs. A thermal phenomenon introduces two main effects: damping due to internal friction, and softening due to Young modulustemperature relation. Based on some reported ...

This paper presents a comprehensive case study on electro-mechanical analysis of MEMS[1] variable capacitors. Using the fundamental mechanical and electrical equations, static and dynamic behaviors of the device are studied. The analysis is done for three different modes, namely: dc (static mode), small signal ac and large signal regime. A complete set of equations defining dynamic behavior of ...

We introduce the Autozeroing Floating-Gate Second-Order Section. We built this second-order lter where the corner frequency and Q are electronically tunable based on a classic lter topology and principles of OTA ampli ers. We built this second-order lter using three AFGAs| our oating-gate ampli er that sets its operating point by the interaction of hot-electron injection and electron-tunneling....

In this paper a multi-disciplinary simulation of a capacitive droplet sensor based on an open plate capacitor as transducing element is presented. The numerical simulations are based on the finite volume method (FVM), including calculations of an electric field which changes according to the presence of a liquid droplet. The volume of fluid (VOF) method is applied for the simulation of the ejec...
