Green's Function Approach to Efficient 3D Electrostatics of Multi-Scale Problems

C. Roman [1], L. Schmid [1], L. Stolpmann [1], C. Hierold [1],
[1] ETH, Zurich, Switzerland

We present an efficient method to compute efficiently the general solution (Green's Function) of the Poisson Equation in 3D. The method proves its effectiveness when dealing with multi-scale problems in which lower dimensional objects, such as nanotubes or nanowires (1D), are embedded in ... Read More

Electron Trajectories in Scanning Field-Emission Microscopy

H. Cabrera [1],
[1] Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Zurich, Switzerland

The Scanning Field Emission Microscopy (SFEM) is a novel technology similar to the better known Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM). In STM, electrons are exchanged between the outermost atom of a sharp tip and the outermost atom of a target over sub-nanometer distances by means of the ... Read More

Effective Properties of Viscoelastic Composite with Piezoelectric Fibers

M. Al-Ajmi [1], P. Muthusamy [1],
[1] Mechanical Engineering Department, Kuwait University, Kuwait

Numerical homogenization of fiber reinforced composites has become a valuable design tool by utilizing the power of modern Finite Element Analysis. Piezoelectric materials are used extensively as sensors and actuators. Piezoelectric composites are more desirable than the homogeneous ... Read More

Time-Dependent Study of Pressure Waves Generated by Square Array MEMS Ultrasound Transducers

M. A. G. Suijlen [1], R. J. Woltjer [1],
[1] Novioscan, Nijmegen, Netherlands

For non-imaging wearable ultrasound applications Novioscan is developing piezoelectric MEMS transducers. These transducers consist of a large array of micromechanical silicon membranes with piezoelectrically actuated regions to generate an out-of-plane displacement causing a pressure ... Read More

Simulation of Neurotransmitter Sensing by Cyclic Voltammetry under Mechanical Motion of a Neural Electrode

S. Han [1], M. Polanco [2], S. Bawab [2], H. Yoon [1]
[1] Norfolk State University, Norfolk, VA, USA
[2] Old Dominion University, Norfolk, VA, USA

Neural electrodes for sensing neurotransmitters are embedded within the brain, detecting electrical signals produced by kinetic reaction of neurotransmitters in the brain. Sensing utilizes cyclic voltammetry (CV), which applies sweeping potentials to identify chemical kinetics of ... Read More

Nanofluidic Analyte Preconcentration Using Fluid Field-Effect Diodes

A. Eden [1], K. Scida [1], J. C. T. Eijkel [2], C. D. Meinhart [1], S. Pennathur [1],
[1] University of California, Santa Barbara, CA, USA
[2] University of Twente, Enschede, Netherlands

Introduction Throughout the field of micro- and nanoscale electrokinetics, floating bipolar electrodes (BPEs) have proven to be useful in manipulating charged ionic species and biomolecules for electroanalytical studies. The growing use of integrated electronics in working towards fully ... Read More

Silicon-Organic-Hybrid Independent Simultaneous Dual-Polarization Modulator: Device Theory and Design

Y. D'Mello [1], M. Hui [1], J. Skoric [1], M. Haines [1], A. Kirk [1], M. Andrews [1], D. Plant [1],
[1] McGill University, Montréal, QC, Canada

The Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) technology is a gateway to fabricating low cost electronic and photonic components to date. The Silicon-based nanophotonics platform leverages CMOS technology to fuel the effort to provide increasingly high-speed and high-bandwidth ... Read More

Numerical Analysis and Optimization of a Multi-Mode Interference Based Polarization Beam Splitter

Y. D'Mello [1], E. Elfiky [1], J. Skoric [1], D. Patel [1], D. Plant [1]
[1] McGill University, Montréal, QC, Canada

The progression toward smaller and faster photonic circuits has led to the development of nanophotonic platforms capable of compacting many devices onto an integrated chip. These devices, as well as the input and output grating couplers, are sometimes polarization dependent, which allows ... Read More
