S1. Geometry dependence of circuit components: a) Geometric Capacitance )) : For a parallel plate system, the geometric (dielectric) capacitance is given by where is the area of the electrodes, permittivity of the medium separating the electrodes and the separation between the electrodes. This results from the solution of Poisson equation and is determined by the ratio of charge on the electrod...

This research aimed at measuring the electrical capacitance of miscanthus biomass as a potential proxy measure of bulk density. The experimental arrangement allowed for continuous variation of bulk density through compression, whereas moisture content was varied at two levels, being air-dried (<5%) and oven dried (14.5%), and particle size was varied by using material that passed milling screen...

This paper aims to numerically predict the capacitance of electric double layer capacitors (EDLCs) made of mesoporous electrodes consisting of closely packed monodispersed mesoporous carbon spheres in (C2H5)4NBF4/propylene carbonate electrolyte. The model faithfully accounts for the electrode packing morphology and the dependency of electrolyte dielectric permittivity on local electric field. T...

During growth or degeneration neuronal surface area can change dramatically. Measurements of membrane protein concentration, as in ion channel or ionic conductance density, are often normalized by membrane capacitance, which is proportional to the surface area, to express changes independently from cell surface variations. Several electrophysiological protocols are used to measure cell capacita...

We report a detailed theoretical investigation on electrochemical capacitance of a nanoscale capacitor where there is a DC coupling between the two conductors. For this “leaky” quantum capacitor, we have derived general analytic expressions of the linear and second order nonlinear electrochemical capacitance within a first principles quantum theory in the discrete potential approximation. Linea...

In this paper, a grounding capacitance multiplier is presented. This block is very important because he presents a better solution to resolve the problems occured by the integration of high capacitance value or the problem of tuning that value of the capacitance. We emphasize the fact that the presented applications are well suited for integration since their value can be tuned by simple action...

A method for measuring muscle fiber capacitance using small test pulses applied with the three-microelectrode voltage clamp is presented. Using this method, three membrane potential-dependent changes in capacitance were observed: (a) Capacitance of polarized fibers increased by 5--15% with depolarization from V less then -100 mV to voltages slightly below the contraction threshold. (b) Capacita...

The aim of this work is to study the effect of rotational motion generated by wind on the capacitance variation of the multipole variable capacitor. AutoCAD software was used to model the variable capacitor and to calculate the capacitance variation relative to the angular position caused by wind. Subsequently, experiments were carried out to measure the capacitance variation relative to the an...

End of the roadmap integrated circuit interconnects suffer from capacitance variability due to line edge roughness (LER), significantly impacting overall circuit performance. We forecast the capacitance variability of short range interconnects with realistic line edge roughness at the upcoming 45, 32, and 22 nm technology nodes using a fast TCAD capacitance tool. Capacitance variability is layo...

Low-energy density has long been the major limitation to the application of supercapacitors. Introducing topological defects and dopants in carbon-based electrodes in a supercapacitor improves the performance by maximizing the gravimetric capacitance per mass of the electrode. However, the main mechanisms governing this capacitance improvement are still unclear. We fabricated planar electrodes ...
