In this paper, we investigate the ever-increasing power issue that is poised to jeopardize performance and robustness of future low-power microprocessor design. We have observed a tremendous amount research in clock network design bolster energy-efficient computing, without, however, any substantial improvement overall performance. work, used emerging ferroelectric negative capacitance field-ef...

The corrosion inhibition efficiency of benzimidazole, 2-methylbenzimidazole and 2- aminobenzimidazole for mild steel immersed in 3.5 NaCl solution was investigated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy EIS at concentration range from 10-5 to 10-2 M of imidazoles and temperature range from 30 to 50°C. In addition, DC polarization was examined to determine inhibition mechanism at concentratio...

Ruthenium oxide±carbon composites with different loadings of RuO2 on carbon have been synthesized by an electroless deposition process. Increase in RuO2 loading results in increasing the speci®c capacitance of the composite electrode. The effect of temperature treatment on the performance of these materials has been studied in detail. Maximum capacitance was observed after heat treatment at 100...

Twist-spun yarns made of carbon nanotubes have been shown to work as electrochemical actuators and force sensors. The electrochemical response of these yarns at different bias potentials was studied using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy EIS and compared with results from cyclic voltammetry. Based on the EIS results, the capacitance is estimated first by directly fitting a resistance–capa...

We describe here a technique called phase tracking that greatly improves the accuracy of measurements of the membrane capacitance of single cells. We have modified the original phase detection technique to include a method for creating calibrated changes in the resistance in series with the cell. This provides a method to automate the adjustment of the phase detector to the appropriate phase an...

The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is formulated in basic electrostatics, assuming that the separation between the two electrode plates is very narrow and the fringe field of the edges is negligible. However, in practical problems of electrical and electronic engineering there are many cases where the plate separation is wide and the fringe field effect cannot be neglected. In our pr...
