Abstract: After the discovery of piezo- and pyroelectricity in Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) and its copolymer with trifluoroethylene (PVDF-TrFE), numerous research initiated on their applications in ...
This brief tutorial explains how the “Wiegand effect” can be used as a reliable, low-cost, energy-harvesting system to power a variety of IoT applications. The Weigand Effect can be used to produce ...
A metasurface-enhanced thermal photodetector achieves 125 picosecond response times, approaching semiconductor speeds without external power or cooling while retaining broad wavelength flexibility.
Vintage computer hardware can fail in a variety of fascinating ways, with [Bits und Bolts] dealing with an interesting failure mode, in the form of degraded MLCC capacitors on Voodoo 2 graphics cards.
We use molecular dynamics with a first-principles-based shell model potential to study pyroelectricity in lithium niobate. We find that the primary pyroelectric effect is dominant, and pyroelectricity ...
Compounds with polarization switching properties have a wide range of applications including ferroelectric memories, pyroelectric sensors, and piezoelectric actuators. Ferroelectric compounds are ...
