Demonstration of Polymer Microring Resonator for Optical Biosensor using COMSOL
In this paper, we use a COMSOL Multiphysics® model to demonstrate the potential use of polymer microring resonator structures for optical biosensing applications. When the refractive index of the area surrounding the microring resonator changes, there is a shift in the resonance ... Read More
Optoelectronic Simulation of An Organic Bulk Heterojunction Solar Cell with COMSOL
In this project, we developed a 3D optoelectronic model for organic bulk-heterojunction solar cells. We validated our COMSOL Multiphysics® model with experimental data and used our simulation to predict the optical and electrical characteristics of a 3D plasmonic OPV device. This work ... Read More
Numerical and Experimental Study of Water Drop Movement Subjected to an Air Stream in Porous Medium
Considering a liquid drop in relative movement with respect to the air flow at uniform velocity, the liquid will be driven to the surface by the viscous friction. Internal vortices will appear inside the drop. This problem has already been studied in fluid mechanics and is well known as ... Read More
Some Commonly Neglected Issues Which Affect DEP Applications
Dielectrophoresis (or DEP) has been exploited for various micro and nano fluidics applications like patterning, sorting and separation. However, there are several commonly neglected issues in quantifying DEP forces. Such negligence could potentially lead to wrong DEP force predictions ... Read More
Actively Controlled Ionic Current Gating In Nanopores
It is necessary to understand and control nanopore behavior in order to develop biosensors for a variety of applications including DNA sequencing. The fluidics of nanopore devices we fabricated exhibits a range of interesting phenomena, such as enhanced conductance and current ... Read More
Development of Hybrid "Fluid Jet / Float" Polishing Process
On one hand, the "float polishing" process consists of a tin lap having many concentric grooves, cut from a flat by single point diamond turning. This lap is rotated above a hydrostatic bearing spindle of high rigidity, damping and rotational accuracy. The optical surface thus floats ... Read More
Analysis of Working Fluid Flow and Debris Behavior in Micro-EDM Gap Area
Debris, micro particles produced by discharges, stay in the gap area during deep hole machining by micro EDM, cause short-circuits and abnormal discharges, finally make machining impossible. Although a deep hole can be processed by using the tool with grooves on the surface, the effect ... Read More
Vibration Analysis of the Wineglass for Glass Harp using COMSOL Multiphysics®
When a wineglass is touched with a wet finger along its edge, it vibrates at single frequency and you hear a clear sound. If the water is added into the glass, the sound pitch changes because the resonance frequency changes with the mass of the glass. When there are plural glasses with ... Read More
Numerical Model for Leaching and Transporting Behavior of Radiocesium in MSW Landfill
This paper presents the numerical simulation model for radiocesium leaching and transporting behavior in municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill and discusses on the design for the required geometry and properties of the impermeable final cover and the soil sorption layer, which work for ... Read More
Temperature Measurements of a Single Gold Nanoparticle under Laser Illumination
Temperature measurement of nanoparticles (NPs) under heating is an important technique in order to achieve potential applications such as photothermal cancer therapy and nanofabrication. We implemented the method to estimate the local temperature of a laser-heated gold NP on glass ... Read More
