This work aims at controlling the bias voltage of APDs, used for single photon detection, with a micro-controller through pulse height comparison.
Using first-principles calculations based on density functional theory combined with the non-equilibrium Green's function approach, the transport behaviors of a single-molecule junction formed by benzenedithiol connected to gold electrodes…
Using a relaxation oscillator circuit, breakdown ($V_{\mathrm{BD}}$) and quench ($V_{\mathrm{Q}}$) voltages of a DC discharge microplasma between two needle probes are measured. High resolution modified Paschen curves are obtained for argon…
We propose a method for determining the most likely cause, in terms of conventional generator outages and renewable fluctuations, of power system frequency reaching a predetermined level that is deemed unacceptable to the system operator.…
This publication focuses on the study of silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) in view of a reconstruction of the incident photon flux in the regime of highly non-linear response. SiPMs are semiconductor based light detectors compiled of…
The analytical theory for the voltage-current characteristics of the large inductance (L>100 pH) high-T_c DC SQUIDs that has been developed previously is consistently compared with the computer simulations and the experiment. The…
We theoretically study a silicon triple quantum dot (TQD) system coupled to a superconducting microwave resonator. The response signal of an injected probe signal can be used to extract information about the level structure by measuring the…
Simplified model for current-voltage characteristics of weak links is suggested. It is based on approach which considers Andreev reflections as responsible for the dissipative current through the metallic Josephson junction. The model…
We report the first measurement of high order cumulants of the current fluctuations in an avalanche diode run through by a stationary dc current. Such a system is archetypic of devices in which transport is governed by a collective…
The new High Repetition Rate (HRR) CERN DC Spark System has been used to investigate the current and voltage time structure of a breakdown. Simulations indicate that vacuum breakdowns develop on ns timescales or even less. An experimental…
The dark count rate is one of the key properties of avalanche photodiodes (APDs) and silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs). Previous studies have reported discrete shifts in the dark count rate on short timescales ~10 ms to ~100 s with small…
Reconstruction of photon statistics of optical states provide fundamental information on the nature of any optical field and find various relevant applications. Nevertheless, no detector that can reliably discriminate the number of incident…
An undergraduate level experiment is described to demonstrate the role of probabilistic observations in physics. A capacitor and a DC voltmeter are used to randomly sample an AC voltage source. The resulting probability distribution is…
In this paper a novel distributed control algorithm for current sharing and voltage regulation in Direct Current (DC) microgrids is proposed. The DC microgrid is composed of several Distributed Generation units (DGUs), including Buck…
Voltage regulation under conventional grid-forming controllers is tightly coupled to power sharing and dc-link dynamics. Consequently, its tracking accuracy deteriorates during grid faults, sudden power sharing changes, or dc-bus voltage…
Voltage-based battery metrics are ubiquitous and essential in battery manufacturing diagnostics. They enable electrochemical "fingerprinting" of batteries at the end of the manufacturing line and are naturally scalable, since voltage data…
A voltage regulation method for slow voltage variations at distribution level is proposed, based on a view of the loads, generators and storage along a distribution line as point weights. The "centers of mass" of the absorbed and injected…
We have developed a model for experiments in which the bias current applied to a Josephson junction is slowly increased from zero until the junction switches from its superconducting zero-voltage state, and the bias value at which this…
We analyze a power distribution line with high penetration of distributed generation and strong variations of power consumption and generation levels. In the presence of uncertainty the statistical description of the system is required to…
Voltage distribution in sub-cellular micro-domains such as neuronal synapses, small protrusions or dendritic spines regulates the opening and closing of ionic channels, energy production and thus cellular homeostasis and excitability. Yet…
