This method is based on measuring the charge transfer current in the silicon nanowire metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor （MOSFET）, in which the channel closing and opening are controlled by applying alternating-current biases with a half period phase shift to the dual lower gates. The capacitances around the dot, including fringing capacitances and barrier capacitances, are obtained by analyzing the relation between the transfer current and the applied voltage. This technique could be used to extract the capacitance parameters not only from the bulk silicon devices, but also from the silicon-on-insulator （SOI） MOSFETs.展开更多

Experimental scanning electron microscopy images showed that Ni nanoparticles of about 5 nm in diameter were clearly embedded in the SiO2 layer on p-type Si （100）. Capacitance-voltage measurements of the MOS capacitor show large flat-band voltage shifts of 1.8 V, which indicate the presence of charge storage in the nickel nanoparticles. In addition, the charge-retention characteristics of MOS capacitors with Ni nanoparticles were investigated by using capacitance-time measurements. The results showed that there was a decay of the capacitance embedded with Ni nanoparticles for an electron charge after 104 s. But only a slight decay of the capacitance originating from hole charging was observed. The present results indicate that this technique is promising for the efficient formation or insertion of metal nanoparticles inside MOS structures.展开更多

文摘Zn-ion hybrid supercapacitors(ZHSCs),as emerging energy storage systems,combine high energy and power density with cost-effectiveness and safety,attracting significant attention.However,due to the inherent energy storage mechanism and the diminishing marginal benefits of increased porosity on capacitance,engineering porous nanostructures to develop carbon materials with ideal architectures is crucial for achieving high performance.Herein,a novel web-in-web porous carbon/carbon nanotubes(CNTs)composite has been proposed,fabricated by a simple phase separation method and two-step carbonization.During pre-oxidation,gradual air oxidation induces the formation of an O,N co-doped polymer-chain template,which subsequently transforms into a graphitized web during high-temperature carbonization.The optimized web-in-web structure,enriched with abundant active sites,accelerates mass transport and charge transfer kinetics.When assembled in ZHSCs,the web-in-web cathode achieved a high area capacitance(14,309 mF cm^(-2))with high mass loading(38.2 mg cm^(-2)).It delivered excellent high-rate performance at 50 mA cm^(-2)with a capacitance retention of 83%after 10,000 cycles,also boosting a high energy density(1452.7μWh cm^(-2))and power density(30.8 mW cm^(-2)).Furthermore,ex situ characterization and in situ electrochemical analyses reveal hybrid energy storage mechanisms,involving both physical/chemical adsorption and precipitation/dissolution across different potential regions.This study provides a promising strategy for designing high-area-capacitance carbon cathodes boosting high-performance ZHSCs.

文摘Neodymium chromium oxide(NdCrO_(3))and NdCrO_(3)/graphene oxide(GO)nanocomposite were synthesized via sol-gel and co-precipitation techniques for being used in high-perfo rmance supercapacitors and for the possible application in ultraviolet(UV)materials.Herein the systematic synthesis approach was adopted,which enhances the optical and electrical properties of the grown wide band-gap composite nanomaterial.Structural characterization of the grown materials was attempted using X-ray diffraction(XRD)and scanning electron microscopy(SEM).Most importantly the electrochemical analysis of the grown samples was carried out by employing a glassy carbon electrode and 3 mol/L KOH electrolyte,which demonstrates significant improvements in a specific capacitance of approximately360 F/g,an energy density of approximately 18 Wh/kg,and a maximum power density of approximately 257 W/kg,respectively.Moreover,NdCrO_(3)/GO nanocomposite maintains a cyclic stability of 97.6%after4000 cycles.Photoluminescence(PL)spectroscopy confirms the wide bandgap nature of the NdCrO_(3)and NdCrO_(3)/GO nanocomposite,indicating its potential application in UVC devices.These findings emphasize the potential of the NdCrO_(3)/GO nanocomposite in advancing efficient energy storage solutions and the possibility of being used in UVC technology.

文摘Transient negative capacitance(NC),as an available dynamic charge effect achieved in resistor-ferroelectric capacitor(R-FEC)circuits,has triggered a series of theoretical and experimental works focusing on its physical mechanism and device application.Here,we analytically derived the effects of different mechanical conditions on the transient NC behaviors in the R-FEC circuit based on the phenomenological model.It shows that the ferroelectric capacitor can exhibit either NC(i.e.,“single NC”and“double NC”)or positive capacitance,depending on the mechanical condition and temperature.Further numerical calculations show that the voltage drop caused by NC can be effectively controlled by temperature,applied stress,or strain.The relationship between NC voltage drop and system configurations including external resistance,dynamical coefficient of polarization,and input voltage are presented,showing diverse strategies to manipulate the NC effect.These results provide theoretical guidelines for rational design and efficient control of NC-related electronic devices.

文摘The negative ion based neutral beam injector(NNBI)with a beam energy of 400 keV is one of the subsystems at the Comprehensive Research fAcility for Fusion Technology(CRAFT)in China.The distributed capacitance of the high-voltage components is an important basis for the design of surge suppression devices at CRAFT NNBI.This study conducted calculations of distributed capacitance for the key components,including the high-voltage deck,transmission line and isolation transformer in the power supply system using the finite element method.The relationship between the high-voltage deck(HVD)distributed capacitance and the distance from the wall is discussed.The differences in distributed capacitance and energy storage between noncoaxial and coaxial transmission lines are also debated.Finally,the capacitance between the primary and secondary windings of the-400 kV isolation transformer,as well as between the secondary winding and the oil tank casing,was calculated.
文摘A distributed capacitance model for monolithic inductors is developed to predict the equivalently parasitical capacitances of the inductor.The ratio of the self-resonant frequency (f SR) of the differential-driven symmetric inductor to the f SR of the single-ended driven inductor is firstly predicted and explained.Compared with a single-ended configuration,experimental data demonstrate that the differential inductor offers a 127% greater maximum quality factor and a broader range of operating frequencies.Two differential inductors with low parasitical capacitance are developed and validated.

文摘Parasitic capacitances associated with overhangs of the T-shape-gate enhancement-mode(E-mode)GaN-based power device,were investigated by frequency/voltage-dependent capacitance-voltage and inductive-load switching measurements.The overhang capacitances induce a pinch-off voltage distinguished from that of the E-mode channel capacitance in the gate capacitance and the gatedrain capacitance characteristic curves.Frequency-and voltage-dependent tests confirm the instability caused by the trapping of interface/bulk states in the LPCVD-SiNx passivation dielectric.Circuit-level double pulse measurement also reveals its impact on switching transition for power switching applications.
文摘For establishing the equation of the capacitive target detection accurately, the distributing characteristics of the charges on the bomb body with capacitance fuze were explored. Continuous charges were analyzed dispersively. Based on the Coulomb's law, the dynamic equilibrium equations of the inducing charges on the bomb body were set up. For the four cases of d 0/L (the ratio between the electrode distance and the bomb length), the curves of the charge's distribution were given. It was concluded that: ① the charge density decreases steadily from the end near the frontal electrode to the bomb tail; ② the declining rate of the density is governed by d 0/L , the larger the value of d 0/L ,the higher the declining rate, and vice versa.
文摘For a detector in a capacitanee fuze working in an electrostatic field, the bomblength (effective length of the conductor part) is an important factor affecting the sensitivityof detection. For the two different kinds of detecting circuit models in general use (the frequency-sensitive and the amplitude-coupling ), mechanism of the effect of bomblength on the sensitvity of detection is analyzed. Through the analysis a conclusion in fullagreement with experimental results has been drawn, that is. the longer the bomb length,the higher the sensitivity, on the condition that the sizes and the sites of the detecting electrodes and bomb diameter remain unchanged.
文摘The finite element method is first introduced into the design process of detecting electrodes of three electrode capacitance fuze, the mutual capacitance of the fuze and target is calculated by the finite element method, which provides the parameters for simulation circuit and design of detecting electrode. The finite element method pierces the traditional method of designing detecting electrode-design, test and adjustment. The system capacitance can be calculated accurately and the performance can be predicted in the design period of the detecting electrode, which saves a lot of research fee. The capacitances of a mortar shell fuze above ground 2 m and lower are given. After putting the computing data into simulating circuit, the demodulation voltage can be obtained, its changing trend is in agreement with the tested result.

文摘An improved method of extracting the coupling capacitances of quantum dot structure is reported. This method is based on measuring the charge transfer current in the silicon nanowire metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor （MOSFET）, in which the channel closing and opening are controlled by applying alternating-current biases with a half period phase shift to the dual lower gates. The capacitances around the dot, including fringing capacitances and barrier capacitances, are obtained by analyzing the relation between the transfer current and the applied voltage. This technique could be used to extract the capacitance parameters not only from the bulk silicon devices, but also from the silicon-on-insulator （SOI） MOSFETs.

文摘This paper reports that metal-oxide-semiconductor （MOS） capacitors with a single layer of Ni nanopartictes were successfully fabricated by using electron-beam evaporation and rapid thermal annealing for application to nonvolatile memory. Experimental scanning electron microscopy images showed that Ni nanoparticles of about 5 nm in diameter were clearly embedded in the SiO2 layer on p-type Si （100）. Capacitance-voltage measurements of the MOS capacitor show large flat-band voltage shifts of 1.8 V, which indicate the presence of charge storage in the nickel nanoparticles. In addition, the charge-retention characteristics of MOS capacitors with Ni nanoparticles were investigated by using capacitance-time measurements. The results showed that there was a decay of the capacitance embedded with Ni nanoparticles for an electron charge after 104 s. But only a slight decay of the capacitance originating from hole charging was observed. The present results indicate that this technique is promising for the efficient formation or insertion of metal nanoparticles inside MOS structures.
