We explore the frequency dependence of piezoceramic disc transducers bonded to plates. For some transducer dimensions, the frequency response shows a sharp peak. This behavior is inconsistent with the use of short pulses or broadband chirps for flaw localization. We use finite element simulation to show that the highly resonant behavior is caused by a high-strain region immediately beneath the transducer...
Nanoscale resistance reset of the SiO2/M stack (where M=Cu, Ni, Ti, Al, p-type Si) was investigated via a conductive atomic force microscope (C-AFM). Visible-light illumination triggers a resistance reset for Ti, Al and p-type Si electrodes, however such a behavior is not always observed for the Cu and Ni electrodes. Conversely, electrical reset is possible for Cu and Ni, but not for the others. The...
The absolute measurement of the mass, as well as the determination of the Planck constant, has become one of the most important issues in metrology toward a new kilogram definition based on fundamental constant. A method for measuring the inertial mass, being different from the gravitational mass measurement by either a watt balance or the Avogadro project has been carried out recently at National...
Al/Ta2O5/Pt RRAM cell was successfully demonstrated with stable bipolar switching. Band alignment for the structure of Al/Ta2O5/Pt was obtained using high-resolution X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy to investigate resistance switching behavior. Hole barrier heights of Ta2O5 on metals Pt and Al were extracted using core level and valence band spectra. The energy band alignments of Pt/TaOx and Al/TaO...
According to NFPA 70E, more than 2000 workers are admitted to hospital burn centers per year for extensive injuries caused by arc flash accidents. Arc flash incidents occur when unintended electric current flows through air, superheating the air and causes an explosion. Recognizing the significant threat posed by arc flash hazards, IEEE and NFPA have joined forces on an initiative to support research...
HP has recently made its plans to develop an ultrahigh-resolution seismic sensing solution public. This solution is being developed with Royal Dutch Shell Corporation for oil and gas exploration. Central to delivering this system is HP's new single axis seismic grade MEMS accelerometer. The HP device uses both bulk micromachining methods and standard thin film technologies as well as HP's new three...
