Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy Circuits X‐ray diffraction techniques

Agamaryat Agambayev, et al., " Ferroelectric Fractional‐Order Capacitors". ChemElectroChem, 4(11), 2017, 2807. Poly(vinylidene fluoride)‐based polymers and their blends are used to fabricate electrostatic fractional‐order capacitors. This simple but effective method allows us to precisely tune the constant phase angle of the resulting fractional‐order capacitor by changing the blend composition. Additionally, we have derived an empirical relationship between the ratio of the blend constituents and the constant phase angle to facilitate the design of a fractional‐order capacitor with a desired

prototypical random walks zero-shot recognition

In this talk, we will define prototypical random walks, a mechanism we introduced to improve visual classification with limited data (few-shot learning), and then developed the mechanism in a conceptually different way to facilitate novel image generation and unseen class recognition tasks. More specifically, in the few-shot learning setting, we will show how we can develop a random walk semi-supervised loss that enables the network to learn representations that are compact and well-separated.

Amir N. Hanna, , et al., "Zinc oxide integrated wavy channel thin-film transistor-based high-performance digital circuits." IEEE Electron Device Letters 37 (2), 2016, 193. Abstract: High-performance thin film transistor (TFT) can be a great driving force for display, sensor/actuator, integrated electronics, and distributed computation for the Internet of Everything applications. While semiconducting oxides, such as zinc oxide (ZnO), present promising opportunity in that regard, still wide area of improvement exists to increase the performance further. Here, we show a wavy channel (WC)

ZnO channels atomic layer deposition Thin Film Transistors Rectifiers On‐Chip Capacitive Energy Storage

Wang Zhenwei, et al., "All‐Oxide Thin Film Transistors and Rectifiers Enabling On‐Chip Capacitive Energy Storage." Advanced Electronic Materials 5 (12), 2019, 1900531. All-oxide, fully-transparent thin film transistors and rectifiers, processed entirely by atomic layer deposition, have been developed for on-chip capacitive energy storage. Fully depleted thin film transistor (TFT) operation is achieved by optimizing the carrier concentration in the ZnO channels. The TFTs show an average saturation mobility of 10.5 cm2 V−1 s−1, a stable positive turn-on voltage of 0.88 V, a low subthreshold

Circuits μ-fluidics microfluidic devices

Ulrich Buttner, et al., "Flash μ-fluidics: a rapid prototyping method for fabricating microfluidic devices." Rsc Advances 6 (78), 2016, 74822. Microfluidics has advanced in terms of design and structures; however, fabrication methods are time-consuming or expensive relative to facility costs and equipment needed. This work demonstrates a fast and economically viable 2D/3D maskless digital light-projection method based on a stereolithography process. Unlike other fabrication methods, one exposure step is used to form the whole device. Flash microfluidics is achieved by incorporating bonding and

sputtered anhydrous RuO2 thinfilm electrodes prototypes Circuits μSCs

Marinal K. Hota, et al., " Fractal electrochemical microsupercapacitors". Advanced Electronic Materials, 3(10), 20171700185. The first successful fabrication of microsupercapacitors (μ‐SCs) using fractal electrode designs is reported. Using sputtered anhydrous RuO2 thin‐film electrodes as prototypes, μ‐SCs are fabricated using Hilbert, Peano, and Moore fractal designs, and their performance is compared to conventional interdigital electrode structures. Microsupercapacitor performance, including energy density, areal and volumetric capacitances, changes with fractal electrode geometry
