In modern computers computation is performed by assembling together sets of logic gates made by transistors acting as logic switches. The scaling of transistor dimensions allowed a continuous increase of performance accompanied by an increase of heat production. The latter will represent a road-block for the development of future computing devices. Landauer theorized on the minimum heat production...
Most mechanical vibrations in our environment can be classified as noisy vibrations, since they have no preferred frequency and a spectrum that spreads to the low frequency range. Bistable systems have shown to be a solution to the existing frequency mismatch between the energy source and the harvester device. In this work a parametric study is carried out in order to show the dependence of these...
Nonlinearities have been shown to play an important role in increasing the extracted energy of energy harvesting devices at the macro and micro scales. Vibration-based energy harvesting on the nano scale has also received attention. In this paper, we characterize the nonlinear dynamical behavior of a strained nanostructured graphene for its potential use in energy harvesting applications. A compressed...
