The bias dependent interface charge is considered as the origin of the observed non-ideality in current-voltage and capacitance-voltage characteristics. Using the simplified model for the interface electronic structure based on defects interacting with the continuum of interface states, the microscopic origin of empirical parameters describing the bias dependent interface charge function is inv...

Hydrodynamic techniques such as analytical ultracentrifugation can provide key information about subunit stoichiometry and interaction strengths of protein-nucleic acid interactions. Analysis is complicated by (i) the need for low concentrations in order to observe both free and bound species and (ii) thermodynamic non-ideality. With the introduction of fluorescence optics, we are able to obtai...

We consider the adiabatic equation of state for partially ionized non{ideal plasma. Plasma isentropes are calculated with the Pad e technique in the chemical picture. The interplay of ionization/dissociation equilibrium and non{ideality is investigated.

Memristors have pinched hysteresis loops in the V − I plane. Ideal memristors are everywhere non-linear, cross at zero and are rotationally symmetric. In this paper we extend memristor theory to produce different types of non-ideality and find that: including a background current (such as an ionic current) moves the crossing point away from zero; including a degradation resistance (that increas...

The current–voltage characteristics of a Schottky diode are simulated numerically using the thermionic emission-diffusion mechanism and considering a Gaussian distribution of barrier heights, with a linear bias dependence of both the mean and standard deviation. The resulting data are analyzed to get insight into the effects of distribution parameters on the barrier height, activation energy pl...

We examine the Galilean invariance of standard lattice Boltzmann methods for two-phase fluids. We show that the known Galilean invariant term that is cubic in the velocities, and is usually neglected, is the main source of Galilean invariance violations. We show that incorporating a correction term can improve the Galilean invariance of the method by up to an order of magnitude. Surprisingly in...

A comprehensive experimental methodology based on analytical centrifugation is presented for the characterization of hydrodynamic non-ideality colloidal particles.
