A New Electronic Detector for FIM and AP : Initial WoW Results

چکیده
A new style of charge-separation position-sensitive detector has been tested which has similar cost benefits as other charge-separation devices but has an error-awareness capability to provide an increased collection rate. The wedge-on-wedge anode is similar to the wedge-and-strip anode except that the four electrodes possess both wedge and strip character. This provides additional charge infonnation such that a plurality of positional equations occurs. This provides an error-awareness condition if multiple arrivals strike the detector. Initial results of the wedge-on-wedge detector for use as an electronic detector for imaging and analysis for atom probe microscopy are provided. These results indicate that this detector should perform adequately for atom probe microscopy.

Phase Frequency Detector Using Transmission Gates for High Speed Applications
In this paper a new phase-frequency detector is proposed using transmission gates which can detect phase difference less than 500ps. In other word, the proposed Phase-frequency Detector (PFD) can work in frequencies higher than 1.7 GHz, whereas a conventional PFD operates at frequencies less than 1.1 GHz. This new architecture is designed in TSMC 0.13um CMOS Technology. Also, the proposed PFD a...
متن کاملFinite integration method with RBFs for solving time-fractional convection-diffusion equation with variable coefficients
In this paper, a modification of finite integration method (FIM) is combined with the radial basis function (RBF) method to solve a time-fractional convection-diffusion equation with variable coefficients. The FIM transforms partial differential equations into integral equations and this creates some constants of integration. Unlike the usual FIM, the proposed method computes constants of integ...
متن کاملDual Phase Detector Based Delay Locked Loop for High Speed Applications
In this paper a new architecture for delay locked loops will be presented. One of problems in phase-frequency detectors (PFD) is static phase offset or reset path delay. The proposed structure decreases the jitter resulted from PFD by switching two PFDs. In this new architecture, a conventional PFD is used before locking of DLL to decrease the amount of phase difference between input and outpu...
متن کاملNonlinear Multiuser Receiver for Optimized Chaos-Based DS-CDMA Systems
Chaos based communications have drawn increasing attention over the past years. Chaotic signals are derived from non-linear dynamic systems. They are aperiodic, broadband and deterministic signals that appear random in the time domain. Because of these properties, chaotic signals have been proposed to generate spreading sequences for wide-band secure communication recently. Like conventional DS...
متن کاملInitial stages of oxide formation on the Zr surface at low oxygen pressure: An in situ FIM and XPS study
An improved methodology of the Zr specimen preparation was developed which allows fabrication of stable Zr nanotips suitable for FIM and AP applications. Initial oxidation of the Zr surface was studied on a Zr nanotip by FIM and on a polycrystalline Zr foil by XPS, both at low oxygen pressure (10(-8)-10(-7)mbar). The XPS data reveal that in a first, fast stage of oxidation, a Zr suboxide interl...
