There have been a large number of recent studies of the growth of Y-Ba-Cu-O thin films, and these studies have employed a variety of substrates and growth techniques. To date, the highest values of Tc and Jc have been found for films grown by sputtering or coevaporation on single-crystal SrTiO3 substrates, which produces a uniaxially-aligned film with the YBa2Cu3Ox c-axis normal to the film plane. Multilayer growth of films on the same substrate produces a triaxially-aligned film (regions of the film have their c-axis parallel to each of the three substrate <100> directions) with lower values of Jc. Growth of films on a variety of other polycrystalline or amorphous substrates produces randomly-oriented polycrystalline films with low Jc. Although single-crystal SrTiO3 thus produces the best results, this substrate material has a number of undesireable characteristics relative to electronic applications, including very high dielectric constant and a high loss tangent at microwave frequencies. Recently, Simon et al. have shown that LaAlO3 could be used as a substrate for YBaCuO film growth. This substrate is essentially a cubic perovskite with a lattice parameter of 0.3792nm (it has a slight rhombohedral distortion at room temperature) and this material exhibits much lower dielectric constant and microwave loss tangents than SrTiO3. It is also interesting from a film growth standpoint since it has a slightly smaller lattice parameter than YBa2Cu3Ox (a=0.382nm, b=c/3=0.389nm), while SrTiO3 is slightly larger (a=0.3905nm).

An optical and dielectric biosensor based on a liquid crystal (LC)–photopolymer composite was established in this study for the detection and quantitation of bovine serum albumin (BSA). When the nematic LC E7 was doped with 4-wt.% NOA65, a photo-curable prepolymer, and photopolymerized by UV irradiation at 20 mW/cm2 for 300 s, the limit of detection determined by image analysis of the LC optical texture and dielectric spectroscopic measurements was 3400 and 88 pg/mL for BSA, respectively, which were lower than those detected with E7 alone (10 μg/mL BSA). The photopolymerized NOA65, but not the prepolymer prior to UV exposure, contributed to the enhanced optical signal, and UV irradiation of pristine E7 in the absence of NOA65 had no effect on the optical texture. The effective tilt angle θ, calculated from the real-part dielectric constant ε’, decreased with increasing BSA concentration, providing strong evidence for the correlation of photopolymerized NOA65 to the intensified disruption in the vertically oriented LC molecules to enhance the optical and dielectric signals of BSA. The optical and dielectric anisotropy of LCs and the photo-curable dopant facilitate novel quantitative and signal amplification approaches to potential development of LC-based biosensors.

In several previous communications we have described the investigations made by us on the dielectric constants of various frozen organic bodies and electrolytes at very low temperatures. In these researches we employed a method for the measurement of the dielectric constant which consisted in charging and discharging a condenser, having the given body as dielectric, through a galvanometer 120 times in a second by means of a tuning-fork interrupter. During the past summer we have repeated some of these determinations and used a different method of measurement and a rather higher frequency. In the experiments here described we have adopted Nernst’s method for the measurement of dielectric constants, using for this purpose the apparatus as arranged by Dr. Nernst which belongs to the Davy-Faraday Laboratory.

Nonlinear optics has been of increased interest for all-optical signal, data and image processing in high speed photonic networks. The application of multi-valued (nonbinary) digital signals can provide considerable relief in transmission, storage and processing of a large amount of information in digital signal processing. Here, we propose the design of an all-optical system for some basic tri-state logic operations (trinary OR, trinary AND, trinary XOR, Inverter, Truth detector, False detector) which exploits the polarization properties of light. Nonlinear material based optical switch can play an important role. Tri-state logic can play a significant role towards carry and borrow free arithmetic operations. The principles and possibilities of the design of nonlinear material based tri-state logic circuits are proposed and described.

In this paper, a series of Al2O3/Ni composites with various content of Ni (0 vol%, 10 vol%, 20 vol%, 30 vol%, 40 vol% and 50 vol%) were prepared, and the effect of the methods and compositions on the density and electromagnetic properties was investigated. The results show that the density of the composites increases with the increasing sintering temperature as well as the increasing content of Ni. Moreover, the dielectric constant of the composites increases remarkably with the sintering temperature and the content of Ni, while the permeability shows an almost linear enhancement with the increase of Ni content. This suggests that the Al2O3/Ni composite can be expected to be a promising substrate material with certain electromagnetic compatibility.

AbstractPhotonic network-on-chip for high-performance multi-core processors has attracted substantial interest in recent years as it offers a systematic method to meet the demand of large bandwidth, low latency and low power dissipation. In this paper we demonstrate a non-blocking six-port optical switch for cluster-mesh photonic network-on-chip. The architecture is constructed by substituting three optical switching units of typical Spanke-Benes network to optical waveguide crossings. Compared with Spanke-Benes network, the number of optical switching units is reduced by 20%, while the connectivity of routing path is maintained. By this way the footprint and power consumption can be reduced at the expense of sacrificing the network latency performance in some cases. The device is realized by 12 thermally tuned silicon Mach-Zehnder optical switching units. Its theoretical spectral responses are evaluated by establishing a numerical model. The experimental spectral responses are also characterized, which indicates that the optical signal-to-noise ratios of the optical switch are larger than 13.5 dB in the wavelength range from 1525 nm to 1565 nm. Data transmission experiment with the data rate of 32 Gbps is implemented for each optical link.

The Given

The Rayleigh-Ritz method is well known as an approximate method of determining the natural frequencies of a conservative system, using a constrained deflection form. On the other hand, if a general deflection form (i.e. an unconstrained form) is used, the method provides a theoretically exact solution. An unconstrained form may be obtained by expressing the deflection as an expansion in terms of a suitable set of orthogonal functions, and in selecting such a set, it is convenient to use the known normal modes of a suitably chosen “ basic system.” The given system, whose vibration properties are to be determined, can then be regarded as a “ modified system,” which is derived from the basic system by a variation of mass and elasticity. A similar procedure has been applied to systems with a finite number of degrees of freedom. In the present note the method is applied to simple non-uniform beams, and to beams with added masses and constraints. A concise general solution is obtained, and an iteration process of obtaining a numerical solution is described.

In this study, the reduction of permittivity of LTCC substrates by coating with a polyimide compound containing hollow glass microspheres as filler material is described. By incorporating the filler material, the dielectric constant of the substrate material is locally lowered to improve the high-frequency performance of antennas operated in the GHz range. Furthermore, by adding the filler material to the liquid polyimide precursor the layer thickness is heightened from maximum 10 μm to above 80 μm which is enough to fill cavities in LTCC substrates. Two compound materials with filler to polymer ratios 1:7.5 and 1:10 are mixed. Afterwards they are deposited by spin coating onto LTCC substrates. The film thickness depends on the rotating speed and the filler content. With the higher filler concentration and low rotating speed of 500 rpm 82 μm thick polymer films can be achieved. The high surface roughness can be reduced afterwards by adding additional pure polyimide layers on top to Ra= 3 μm. The dielectric constant of the entire substrate consisting of the LTCC and the resulting compound material is measured using a ring resonator in microstrip configuration. From the resonances occurring in the transmission S-parameter |S21| spectrum between 1 to 10 GHz, the relative dielectric constant can be determined. Using 820 μm thick LTCC substrates a relatively low reduction from εr = 7.8 to 6.6 is achieved. However, due to permittivity can be reduced with higher microsphere amounts, the dielectric constant of pure polyimide of εr= 3.3 can also be reduced. Furthermore due to the sufficiently high film thickness of the modified substrates, the compound layer can be used as single dielectric layer.
