Five medium size NbTi cable-in-conduit conductors with parametric variations in the cable layout were fabricated of three different strands to investigate their DC performance, AC loss behaviour and transient stability by means of the SULTAN facility. A co ...
The internal electric field in multilayer organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) is investigated using a combination of experimental measurement and numerical device modeling. This approach results in a detailed understanding of the functioning of a multila ...
Interaction forces between ionizable surfaces across an electrolyte solution on the Poisson-Boltzmann level are discussed within the constant regulation approximation. The chemical response of each surface is expressed in terms of two parameters, namely, t ...
In nanometer-sized apertures with charged surfaces, the extension of the electrical double layer results in the electrostatic exclusion of co-ions and enrichment in counterions, which affects the permselectivity of such structures. A modeling of this pheno ...
The manipulation of living biological cells in microfluidic channels by a combination of negative dielectrophoretic barriers and pressure-driven flows is widely employed in lab-on-a-chip systems. However, electric fields in conducting media induce Joule he ...
This paper characterizes the basic electrokinetic phenomena occurring within native poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) microchannels. Using simple buffers and current measurements, current density and electroosmosis data were determined in trapezoidal, reversib ...
Selective transport and sorting of particles in microfluidic devices by electroosmosis is complicated due to superposition of uncontrolled hydrodynamic pressure contributions on the electroosmotic force. In this paper, we present a microfluidic concept for ...
The Off-Gel™ technology is an isoelectric focusing (IEF) fractionation method which enables the purification of one or several proteins in a solution placed on an immobilised pH gradient (IPG) gel. The present thesis is devoted to its characterisation and ...
Solar blind metal-semiconductor-metal detectors have been fabricated based on AlGaN grown on Si by molecular-beam epitaxy. Submicron finger spacings were obtained by electron-beam lithography, and allowed us to demonstrate a significant improvement of the ...
A scheme is proposed for calcg. electrostatic potential (ESP) derived charges from mixed quantum mechanics/ mol. mechanics (QM/MM) mol. dynamics simulations. These charges are fitted to the electrostatic field due to the quantum charge d. evaluated on the ...
