Actively Controlled Ionic Current Gating In Nanopores

G. Zhang[1], S. Bearden[1]
[1]Clemson University, Clemson, SC, USA

It is necessary to understand and control nanopore behavior in order to develop biosensors for a variety of applications including DNA sequencing. The fluidics of nanopore devices we fabricated exhibits a range of interesting phenomena, such as enhanced conductance and current ... Read More

Analysis of Dielectrophoretic Force by Using COMSOL

Taewoo Lee[1]
[1]Department of Biomedical Engineering, Yonsei University, Seoul, South Korea

Dielectrophoresis is a phenomenon in which a force is exerted on a dielectric particle when it is subjected to a non-uniform electric field. In this research, we analyze dielectrophoretic (DEP) force using a geometry containing two electrodes, one with SiO2 and one without, with a gap ... Read More

Optical Modeling of Organic Solar Cells Using the COMSOL

Jungho Kim[1]
[1]Department of Information Display, Kyung Hee University, Seoul, South Korea

A solar cell offers a potential solution to energy shortage problems by converting sunlight into electrical power. Organic solar cells (OSCs) are low-cost and versatile, but also tend to be low-efficiency and short-lasted. Three macroscopic parameters determine their power-conversion ... Read More

COMSOL Multiphysics for the Designs and Applications on Biomicrofluidic Chips

I-Fang Cheng[1]
[1]National Nano Device Laboratories (NDL), National Applied Research Laboratories, Taipei, Taiwan

Some types of rare pathogens can be detected and identified in human blood through a low-cost and label-free method. The On-Chip SESR identification process has a fast detection time (about 5 minutes) and a low detection limit. Discrimination of a species is done by sorting red blood ... Read More

Investigation of Transport Phenomena in Nanochannels and its Applications in Energy Conversion using COMSOL Multiphysics

Chih-Chang Chang[1]
[1]Green Energy and Environment Research Laboratories, Industrial Technology Research Institute, Chutung, Hsinchu, Taiwan

Well‐designed and controlled nanochannels are ideal physical modeling systems to study fluidics in a precise manner. Electrokinetics refers to transport phenomena related to the non‐electroneutral EDL, which is created to neutralize the surface charges produced on surface. Surface ... Read More

The Electrical Impedance Image Reconstruction Using COMSOL MULTIPHYSICS

Kuo-Sheng Cheng[1]
[1]Department of Biomedical Engineering, Institute of Oral Medicine, National Cheng Kung University, Tainan, Taiwan

Electrical impedance tomography is a non-invasive, low-cost medical imaging technique that can be used long term without radiation hazards. We built a model of the torso, and then used COMSOL Multiphysics® to simulate applied current patterns, compute voltages, and find equi-potential ... Read More

COMSOL in electrochemical applications

Shuo-Jen Lee [1]
[1]College of Engineering, Yuan Ze University, Taoyuan, Taiwan

Microstructures such as holes, grooves, microchannels, and surface texture are essential geometric profiles for micro-components. Burs can cause interference, affect the positioning of processing, and influence the quality and surface appearance of the structure. Electrochemical ... Read More

Temperature Compensated AIN Based SAW Simulation using COMSOL

Andrew B. Randles[1]
Julius M. Tsai[1]
Piotr Kropelnicki[1]
Hong Cai[1]

[1]Institute of Microelectronics, Agency of Science, Technology, and Research, Singapore, Singapore

We have modeled surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices composed of piezoelectric materials: aluminum nitride (AlN), lithium niobate (LiNbO3), and quartz. These materials are often used in RF filters and wireless sensors, which require temperature compensation for stability. Using our COMSOL ... Read More

COMSOL Multiphysics Applied to MEMS Simulation and Design

Dr. Piotr Kropelnicki[1]
Mu Xiao Jing[1]
Wan Chia Ang[1]
Cai Hong[1]
Andrew B. Randles[1]

[1]Institute of Microelectronics, Agency for Science, Technology and Research, Singapore, Singapore

In this research, we performed multiple COMSOL Multiphysics® simulations. We analyzed the dispersion curves of waves in a LAMB wave pressure sensor; simulated a thin metal film in a microbolometer and observed the resulting stress; investigated the thermal behavior of an acoustic wave ...
