Vacuum circuit breaker modelling for the assessment of transient recovery voltages: Application to various network configurations

Mario Paolone, Carlo Alberto Nucci

Vacuum circuit breakers (VCBs) are widely used for medium voltage applications when low maintenance, long operating life, and large number of allowable switching cycles are required. The accurate estimation of the transient recovery voltages (TRVs) associa ...

The key impact of incorporated Al2O3 barrier layer on W-based ReRAM switching performance

Elmira Shahrabi, Yusuf Leblebici, Jury Sandrini, Cecilia Giovinazzo

In this article, we inspected the bipolar resistive switching behavior of W-based ReRAMs, using HfO2 as switching layer. We have shown that the switching properties can be significantly enhanced by incorporating an Al2O3 layer as a barrier layer. It stabil ...

Analysis of Dielectric Microbead Detection by Impedance Spectroscopy with Nanoribbons

Carlotta Guiducci, Enrico Accastelli, Paolo Scarbolo, Luca Selmi, Thomas Ernst

We present a quantitative numerical analysis of dielectric microbead detection experiments with nanoribbons operated in the AC small signal regime. To this purpose, a comprehensive model of nanoribbon operation in electrolyte environment and with DC/AC sig ...

Clogging in parallelized tapered microfluidic channels

Esther Amstad

Nearly all tubes and pores used to transport solids in fluids, such as arteries and filters, are subject to clogging. The length scales and geometries of these tubes are well defined. In spite of this knowledge, the collective clogging behavior of multiple ...

Damage of Siloxanes on Ni-YSZ Anode Supported SOFC Operated on Hydrogen and Bio-Syngas

Jan Van Herle, Christian Ludwig, Stefan Diethelm, Hossein Madi

This work presents the poisoning effect of organic oxo-silicon compounds (siloxanes) which are generally found in sewage biogas. Lifetime and durability associated with solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) technology is strongly related to the amount of contaminan ...

Spin processes and charge dynamics in organic light emitting diodes

Francesco Comandè

In this thesis work we explore spin dependent processes and charge dynamics in α-NPD/Alq₃ based LEDs. Studies on polymer light emitting diodes based on PFO, which are fabricated by us, are also reported. Our objective is to shed light on the fundamental me ...

DC Breakdown in gases for complex geometries from high vacuum to atmospheric pressure

Ralph Schnyder

This thesis presents an experimental investigation and a numerical simulation of breakdown in a ring assembly. Previous works are mostly limited to breakdown in simple geometries such as parallel plates or pin-to-plate. Here we discuss the effect of more c ...
