Trapping electrons in semiconductor air bubbles: A theoretical approach

A Theoretical Investigation for Electronics Structure of Mg(Bio2)2 Semiconductor Using First Principle Approach

The Mg(BiO2)2 is the orthorhombic crystal system acting as semiconductor in electric devices. To evaluate electronic band structures, the total density of state (TDOS) and the partial density of state (PDOS), Generalized Gradient Approximation (GGA) based on the Perdew–Burke–Ernzerhof (PBE0) was used for Mg(BiO2)2. The band gap was recorded at 0.959 eV, which is supported by a good semiconducto...

Studying electrons on curved surfaces by trapping and manipulating multielectron bubbles in liquid helium.

Investigations of two-dimensional electron systems (2DES) have been achieved with two model experimental systems, covering two distinct, non-overlapping regimes of the 2DES phase diagram, namely the quantum liquid phase in semiconducting heterostructures and the classical phases observed in electrons confined above the surface of liquid helium. Multielectron bubbles in liquid helium offer an ex...

Response of bubbles to diagnostic ultrasound: a unifying theoretical approach

The scattering of ultrasound from bubbles of ∼ 1 μm radius, such as used in contrast enhancers for ultrasound diagnostics, is studied. We show that sound scattering and “active” emission of sound from oscillating bubbles are not contradictory, but are just two different aspects derived from the same physics. Treating the bubble as a nonlinear oscillator, we arrive at general formulas for scatte...

Unilateral air trapping.

Bubbles no more: in-plane trapping and removal of bubbles in microfluidic devices.

Gas bubbles present a frequent challenge to the on-chip investigation and culture of biological cells and small organs. The presence of a single bubble can adversely impair biological function and often viability as it increases the wall shear stress in a liquid-perfused microchannel by at least one order of magnitude. We present a microfluidic strategy for in-plane trapping and removal of gas ...
