We report high-bandwidth charge sensing measurements using a GaAs quantum point contact embedded in a radio frequency impedance matching circuit (rf-QPC). With the rf-QPC biased near pinch-off where it is most sensitive to charge, we…

Magnetically levitated superconducting microparticles offer a promising path to quantum experiments with picogram to microgram objects. In this work, we levitate a 700ng $\sim 10^{17}$amu superconducting microsphere in a magnetic chip trap…

Force sensors are at the heart of different technologies such as atomic force microscopy or inertial sensing \cite{RMPforce2003, Rugar2004, YazdiIEEE}. These sensors often rely on the measurement of the displacement amplitude of mechanical…

A particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation study is performed to investigate the discharge asymmetry, higher harmonic generations and electron heating mechanism in a low pressure very high frequency capacitively coupled plasma (CCP) excited by a…

This study proposed a novel robotic gripper that can achieve grasping and infinite wrist twisting motions using a single actuator. The gripper is equipped with a differential gear mechanism that allows switching between the grasping and…

A topological charge pump [1] transfers charge in a quantized fashion. The quantization is stable against the detailed form of the pumping protocols and external noises and shares the same topological origin as the quantum Hall effect. We…

Recently, energy encryption for wireless power transfer has been developed for energy safety, which is important in public places to suppress unauthorized energy extraction. Most techniques vary the frequency so that unauthorized receivers…

Excitations of MHz acoustic modes are studied numerically in 10-um-thick silicon disk membranes with a radius of 100 and 500 um actuated by an attached 1-um-thick (AlSc)N thin-film transducer. It is shown how higher-harmonic membrane modes…

Granular jamming has recently become popular in soft robotics with widespread applications including industrial gripping, surgical robotics and haptics. Previous work has investigated the use of various techniques that exploit the nature of…

As ASIC supply voltages approach one volt, the source-impedance goals for power distribution networks are driven ever lower as well. One approach to achieving these goals is to add decoupling capacitors of various values until the desired…

This letter proposes an in-sensor computing multiply-and-accumulate (MAC) circuit based on capacitance. The MAC circuits can constitute an artificial neural network(ANN) layer and be operated as ANN classifiers and autoencoders. The…

A Thermally Chargeable Capacitor containing a binary solution of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)-imide (EMIMTFSI) in acetonitrile is electrically charged by applying a tempera- ture gradient to two ideally…

We examine charge transport through a system of three sites connected in series in the situation when an oscillating charged piston modulates the energy of the middle site. We show that with an appropriate set of parameters, charge can be…

A mechanism for the reduction of dynamic energy dissipation in the computing circuit is described. The resonant circuit with controlled switches conserves the stored energy by recovering upto 90% of energy that would be otherwise lost…

We study charge pumping when a combination of static potentials and potentials oscillating with a time period T is applied in a one-dimensional system of non-interacting electrons. We consider both an infinite system using the Dirac…

We show that in excitonic insulators with $s$-wave electron-hole pairing, an applied electric field (either pulsed or static) can induce a $p$-wave component to the order parameter, and further drive it to rotate in the $s+ip$ plane,…
