Ferroelectricity and Curie temperature are demonstrated for epitaxial Y-doped HfO2 film grown on (110) yttrium oxide-stabilized zirconium oxide (YSZ) single crystal using Sn-doped In2O3 (ITO) as bottom electrodes. The XRD measurements for epitaxial film enabled us to investigate its detailed crystal structure including orientations of the film. The ferroelectricity was confirmed by electric dis...

Vertical structured Gallium nitride (GaN) p-n junction diodes with improved breakdown properties have been demonstrated using high-k dielectric passivation underneath the field plate. Simulation results at a reverse voltage of 1 kV showed that the maximum electric field near the mesa-etched p-n junction edges covered with film of dielectric constant k = 10 was reduced to 2.0 MV/cm from 3.0 MV/c...

Comparison of two approaches for the simulation of the dynamic behaviour of a permanent magnet linear actuator is presented. These are full coupled model, where the electromagnetic field, electric circuit and mechanical motion problems are solved simultaneously, and decoupled model, where first a set of static magnetic filed analysis is carried out and then the electric circuit and mechanical m...

We present a new computational methodology for the investigation of gel electrophoresis of polyelectrolytes. We have developed the method initially to incorporate sliding motion of tight parts of a polymer pulled by an electric field into the bond fluctuation method (BFM). Such motion due to tensile force over distances much larger than the persistent length is realized by non-local movement of...

The superconductor-insulator (SI) transition in two-dimensional Ta thin films is investigated by controlling both film thickness and magnetic field. An intriguing metallic phase appears between a superconducting and an insulating phase within a range of film thickness and magnetic field. The temperature and electric field scaling analyses are performed to investigate the nature of the SI transi...

This mathematical model allows calculation of Unit Commitment (hereinafter UC), providing for compliance with all technical limitations in the equipment state and electricity regime parameters to ensure the minimization of the total cost of electric power generation, as determined on the basis of notifications wholesale market participants on the composition and parameters of the generating equ...

We demonstrated a tunable temporal gap based on simultaneous fast and slow light in electro-optic photonic crystals. The light experiences an anomalous dispersion near the transmission center and a normal dispersion away from the center, where it can be accelerated and slowed down, respectively. We also obtained the switch between fast and slow light by adjusting the external electric filed. Th...

A new structure angle measurement facility is presented, the principle of facility is linear interpolation subdivided to electric grating with high-frequency pulses, the mechanical structure of measurement facility is simplified, and avoiding the difficulty of subdivision angle on physical condition while compared with the ordinary high accuracy angle sensor. The signal processing of facility b...

The seminal work by Ferguson and collaborators in 1997 using electric filed stimulation and hydrostatic pressure changes in the urinary bladder have demonstrated that urothelial cells release a large amount of ATP, suggesting that these cells are the major source of ATP in the urinary bladder [1]. However, other bladder cells release this molecule. For instance, parasympathetic and sympathetic ...
