The ideal transmission cable exhibits little parasitic capacitance between individual internal cable conductors and also between the conductors and the cable shielding. However, transmission cables possessing high parasitic capacitance are becoming increasingly common in the glass coating industry. Cables designed for increased flexibility and reduced costs often provide minimal spacing between...

1. Introduction Capacitance-voltage (C-V) measurements are a fundamental characterization technique for MOS devices. However, as the oxide thickness is reduced and gate dielectrics comprised of stacks of novel materials are employed, CV measurement and analysis are made more complex by the frequency-dependence of the measured capacitance. This paper presents an analysis of the sources of the fr...

The capacitance of a nanojunction formed by a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) tip and a two-dimensional gold cluster was measured through the single electron tunneling spectroscopy of a double-barrier tunnel junction. By decreasing the STM tip-cluster separation, it was observed that the capacitance first increases and then decreases at short separation. This characteristic clearly deviates...

Two antenna capacitance problems a re solved in this paper. The motivating problem was to determine the capacitance of a biconical antenna of circular cross section immersed in a magneto-ionic medium. This is solved by reducing it to the secondary problem of determining the capacitance of a biconical antenna of elliptic cross section in an isotropic medium. The latter is solved using the sphero...

Watt’s bath and pulse reverse (PR) electrodeposition is used to produce spherical nickelmultiwall carbon nanotubes (Ni-MWCNT) of 2.00, 0.93, 1.63 and 6.71 μm diameter and a variety ofsize distributions. For 60 cycles, an absolute electrodeposition current of 18 A/dm2 is applied atcurrent ratios of ii = idissolution/ideposition = 0, 0.077, 0.200 and 0.368. A simple exponential equation isfitted ...

We present a current and charge conserving theory for the low frequency admittance of a quantum point contact. We derive expressions for the electrochemical capacitance and the displacement current. The latter is determined by the emittance which equals the ca-pacitance only in the limit of vanishing transmission. With the opening of channels the capacitance and the emittance decrease in a step...

Outer hair cells (OHC) from the organ of Corti are capable of fast voltage-induced length changes (Santos-Sacchi and Dilger, 1988), suggesting that an associated voltage sensor should reside in the OHC plasma membrane. Voltage-dependent mechanical responses and nonlinear charge movement of isolated OHCs from the guinea pig were analyzed using the whole-cell voltage-clamp technique. Ionic curren...

In the past, coupling capacitances between conductors was extracted using charge distributions directly. In this paper a set of new generalized variational formulas are derived. They are complete since they are valid not only for self-capacitances, but also for mutual capacitances. As for the realistic numerical implementation, elastance matrices become asymmetrical because of numerical method ...

We report the enhanced capacitance of the Multi-Walled Carbon NanoTubes (MWCNTs) after a chemical unzipping process in concentrated sulfuric acid (H2SO4) and potassium permanganate (KMnO4). The effects of the test duration and temperature were investigated on the unzipping process of the MWCNTs to synthesize the graphene oxide nanoribbons. The SEM and TEM studies were carried out on untreated a...
