The effects of flexoelectricity on thermo-electro-mechanical behavior of a functionally graded electro-piezo-flexoelectric nano-plate are investigated in this paper using flexoelectric modified and the Kirchhoff classic theories. Moreover, using the variation method and the principle of minimum potential energy for the first time, the coupled governing nonlinear differential equations of the na...

introduction:  electroporation  is  a  technique  for  increasing  the  permeability  of  the  cell  membrane  to  otherwise  non-permeate  molecules  due  to  an  external  electric  field.  this  permeability  enhancement  is  detectable if the induced transmembrane voltage becomes greater than a critical value which depends on the  pulse  strength  threshold.  in  this  study,  the  variabil...

We study the interplay of strong correlations and coherent driving by considering strong-coupling Kondo model driven a time-periodic bias voltage. Combining recent nonequilibrium renormalization group method with Floquet theory, we find that dressing field side-replicas resonance emerge in conductance, which are not completely washed out decoherence induced driving. show to accurately capture o...

We study the thermoelectric effect between a conducting lead and a Majorana edge state. In the tunneling limit, we first use the Landauer-Büttiker formalism to derive the Mott formula relating the thermopower and the differential conductance between a conducting lead and a superconductor. When the tunneling takes place between a conducting lead and a Majorana edge state, we show that a non-vani...

Electrical synapses (gap junctions) in neuronal circuits have become a major focus in the study of network properties such as synchronization and oscillation (Galarreta and Hestrin, 1999; Gibson et al., 1999). Despite the recent progress made in unraveling the contribution of gap junctions to network behavior, little is known about the molecular composition of the junctional constituents. By cl...

In this paper we introduce a CMOS low voltage/low power (LV/LP) voltage controlled oscillator (VCO). It includes a simple V-I converter, a current controlled ring oscillator based on new differential delay cells, and a source-coupled differential pair to convert differential signal to single-ended signal. The V-I converter is implemented as a source follower type, exhibiting excellent linearity...

We have measured the differential conductance of a tunnel junction between a thin metallic wire and a thick ground plane, as a function of the applied voltage. We find that near zero voltage, the differential conductance exhibits a dip, which scales as 1/square root of [V] down to voltages V approximately 10k(B)T/e. The precise voltage and temperature dependence of the differential conductance ...
