This paper presents a new method to compensate the nonlinearity for matrix converter drives using disturbance observer. The nonlinearity of matrix converter drives such as commutation delay, turn-on and turn-off time of switching device, and on-state switching device voltage drop is modeled by disturbance observer and compensated. The proposed method does not need any additional hardware and of...

The electrodeposition of Ni-MoO2 composite coatings is a specific process taking place under defined hydrodynamic conditions. In this work the influence of hydrodynamics, current density, and MoO2 concentration on the electrodeposition of Ni-MoO2 coatings from a suspension of MoO2 particles in a Watt’s type bath were investigated by comparison of their polarization characteristics for the hydro...

The electrodeposition of soft, high magnetic moment alloys has become the critical fabrication step in manufacturing of magnetic recording heads. The need for ultimately high magnetic moment alloys (2.4 T CoFe) and the electrodeposition process capable of delivering magnetic structures with dimension in the range of several tens of nanometers are the new tasks that have to be addressed if the f...

A review on pulse and pulse reverse techniques for electrodeposition have been attempted. Pulse electrodeposition (PED) of some metals and lloys are reported. The effects of mass, transport, electrical double layer pulse parameters and current distribution on surface roughness and orphology are presented. Applications, advantages and disadvantages of PC and PRC techniques are discussed along wi...

Electrolysis of Co(2+) in phosphate, methylphosphonate, and borate electrolytes effects the electrodeposition of an amorphous highly active water oxidation catalyst as a thin film on an inert anode. Electrodeposition of a catalytically competent species immediately follows oxidation of Co(2+) to Co(3+) in solution. Methylphosphonate and borate electrolytes support catalyst activity comparable t...

We propose a combination of Electromagnetically Induced Transparency (EIT)/Raman and pulsed spectroscopy techniques to accurately cancel frequency shifts arising from EIT fields in forbidden optical lattice clock transitions of alkaline earth atoms. Time-separated laser pulses are designed to trap atoms in coherent superpositions while eliminating off-resonance ac Stark contributions at particu...

We report on the observation of spontaneous coherent oscillations in a microcavity polariton bosonic Josephson junction. Condensation of exciton polaritons here takes place under incoherent excitation in a double potential well naturally formed in the disorder. Coherent oscillations set on at an excitation power well above the condensation threshold. The time resolved population and phase dynam...

A quantum-dot hybrid qubit formed from three electrons in a double quantum dot has the potential for great speed, due to the presence of level crossings where the qubit becomes chargelike. Here, we show how to exploit the level crossings to implement fast pulsed gating. We develop one- and two-qubit dc quantum gates that are simpler than the previously proposed ac gates. We obtain closed-form s...
