Polymer is an insulating substance that has become increasingly popular in recent years due to its benefits. Light density, superior dielectric and thermal properties, and water-resistant or hydrophobic properties are only a few of the benefits. The presence of impurities or pollutants on the insulator’s surface lowers its dielectric capacity, which can lead to current leakage. The influence of seawater and fly ash pollutants on the distribution of the electric field and the current density of the insulator was simulated in this study. The finite element method was used to execute the simulation (FEM). Polymer insulators are subjected to testing in order to gather current leakage statistics. The tested insulator is exposed to seawater pollution, which varies depending on the equivalent salt density deposit value (ESDD). The pollutant insulator for fly ash varies depending on the value of non-soluble deposit density (NSDD). The existence of a layer of pollutants increased the value of the electric field and the value of the surface current density, according to the findings. Both in simulation and testing, the ESDD value of seawater pollutants and the NSDD value of fly ash contaminants influenced the value of the leakage current that flowed. The greater the ESDD and NSDD values are, the bigger the leakage current will be.

Background: : A THz Plasmonic Waveguide Based on Graphene Coated Bow-tie Nanowire (TPW-GCBN) is proposed. The waveguide characteristics are investigated by using Finite Element Method (FEM). The influence of the geometric parameters on propagation constants, electric field distributions, effective mode areas, and propagation lengths are obtained numerically. The performance tunability of TPW-GCBN is also studied by adjusting the Fermi energy (FE). The simulation results show that the TPW-GCBN has better mode confinement ability. The TPW-GCBN has potential applications in high density integration of photonic circuit for the future tunable micro nano optoelectronic devices. Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) based waveguides have been widely used to enhance the local electric fields. It also has the capability of manipulating electromagnetic fields on the deep-subwavelength. Objective:: The waveguide characteristics of a THz Plasmonic Waveguide Based on Graphene Coated Bow-tie Nanowire (TPW-GCBN) should be investigated. The tunability of TPW-GCBN should be studied by adjusting the chemical potential (FE) which can be changed by the voltage. Method: : The mode analysis and parameter sweep in Finite Element Method (FEM) were used to simulate the TPW-GCBN for analyzing effective refractive index (neff), electric field distributions, normalized mode areas (Am), propagation length (Lp) and figure of merit (FoM). Results: : At 5 THz, Aeff of λ2/14812, Lp of ~2 μm and FoM of 25 can be achieved. The simulation results show that the TPW-GBN has good mode confinement ability and flexible tunability. Conclusion:: The TPW-GBN provides a new freedom to manipulate the graphene surface plasmons, and leads to new applications in high density integration of photonic circuit for tunable integrated optical devices.

A laboratory-scale ESP with new electrode configuration was established to investigate the electric field characteristic. Eight teeth prick line and prick plate with the length of 20mm were employed as discharge electrodes, respectively. The effects of discharge electrode type and electrode gap on V-I characteristic and surface current density were studied. The results showed that the optimum electrode gaps were 350-400mm for eight teeth line and 300-350mm for prick plate, which could obtained higher average current density and lower variance.
