Scaling Description of Dynamical Heterogeneity and Avalanches of Relaxation in Glass-Forming Liquids

We provide a theoretical description of dynamical heterogeneities in glass-forming liquids, based on the premise that relaxation occurs via local rearrangements coupled by elasticity. In our framework, the growth of the dynamical correlation length e and o ...

Enhancement-mode Multi-channel AlGaN/GaN Transistors with LiNiO Junction Tri-Gate

Elison de Nazareth Matioli, Luca Nela, Taifang Wang

Multi-channel GaN power device, consisting of stacking multiple two-dimensional-electron-gas (2DEG) channels, has been demonstrated to achieve unprecedented on-state performance while maintaining high breakdown voltage (VBR). However, the large carrier den ...

Low-Latency High-Bandwidth Circuit and System Design for Trigger Systems in High Energy Physics

Marcos Vinícius Silva Oliveira

The increasing luminosity in HEP (High Energy Physics) colliders demands trigger systems to be more selective. First, more information from the detector is routed to the trigger system. Second, larger parts of this information are processed together. These ...

High Tuning Range Spiking 1R-1T VO2 Voltage-Controlled Oscillator for Integrated RF and Optical Sensing

Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Teodor Rosca, Fatemeh Qaderi Rahaqi

In this work we propose and experimentally validate a relaxation spiking oscillator architecture with ultra-high tuning range (higher than 400%, from 5KHz to more than 25kHz when the control voltage is varied from 2.5 to 5V) that exploits the reversible me ...

Output-Capacitance Hysteresis Losses of Field-Effect Transistors

Elison de Nazareth Matioli, Armin Jafari, Palliyage Srilak Nirmana Perera, Luca Nela, Georgios Kampitsis

Resonant-type power converters are supposed to generate zero switching losses during soft-switching operation. In recent research, unexpected switching losses were reported in these converters, which were attributed to a large-signal hysteresis observed in ...

Triboelectric‐TFT Flip‐Flop for Bistable Latching of Dielectric Elastomer Actuators

Danick Briand, Herbert Shea, Rubaiyet Iftekharul Haque, Alexis Pierre Henri Marette, Xiaobin Ji, Ronan Julien Hinchet

A high‐voltage flip‐flop combining two self‐powered soft sensors with a flexible high‐voltage thin film transistor (HVTFT) is reported, and is used to electrically latch dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) in zero and high‐strain states. Two touch‐actuat ...

Façade design and our experience of space: the joint impact of architecture and daylight on human perception and physiological responses

Marilyne Andersen, Jan Wienold, Kynthia Chamilothori

Daylight has an undeniable value in various aspects of architectural design, ranging from energy efficiency and user comfort to our experience of space. Even though there is substantial evidence of the positive effects of daylight access on occupants, we h ...

Inverted Current-Voltage Hysteresis in Mixed Perovskite Solar Cells: Polarization, Energy Barriers, and Defect Recombination

Michael Graetzel, Wolfgang Richard Tress, Michael Saliba, Antonio Abate

Organic-inorganic metal halide perovskite solar cells show hysteresis in their current-voltage curve measured at a certain voltage sweep rate. Coinciding with a slow transient current response, the hysteresis is attributed to a slow voltage-driven (ionic) ...
