Capacitor characteristic curve

FIGURE 40.7 Characteristic frequencies could be shifted by an order of magnitude by locally altering PDMS membrane thicknesses ( fluidic capacitors ). Different curves represent different combinations of the thicknesses of two fluidic capacitor components in the same fluidic network. These fluidic bandpass filters provide the proof-of-concept of a new paradigm in microfluidic flow control, where actuation frequency could be used to passively control relative flow rates. 

Namely, oil film breakdown ratio e is shown to be 100% when the rolling surface undergoes metallic contact, and is shown to be 0% when both surfaces are separated by a fluid film. The capacity of the capacitor was switched in accordance with the lubrication state of the rolling surface. Also, capacitor set voltage Ej is expressed as Ei< 0.1 Eo so chat the charge characteristic curve can be linearly approximated. 

Fig. 4 shows the example of cyclic voltammetiy curves for an activated carbon at 5 mV s" using different electrolyte (aqueous, organic, ionic liquid), where it is well visible that the voltage range is imposed by the stability vrfndow of the electrolyte. These almost rectangular box like shape curves are characteristic of an ideal EDL capacitor, with low ESR. 

Electrochemical properties of n- and p-doped ECPs based on various PT derivatives used in PsCs of type HI are shown in Figure 28.6 (Volfkovich and Sedyuk, 2002). One can see that all the three CV curves have two closed loops each their peaks are spaced apart by the potentials of 2.5-3 V. One of these loops characterizes the reaction (28.7) of oxidative p-doping and the other one corresponds to the reaction (28.8) of reductive n-doping. The highest capacitance is characteristic of a capacitor with electrodes based on poly-3-(4-fluorophenyl)thiophene. 

The Beech capacitance indicator utilizes the current-curve characteristics of a crystal-controlled oscillator. The indicator assembly is an all-transistorized unit with a self-contained power supply for the amplifier and the oscillator circuits. The circuit incorporates the use of semiconductor capacitors in place of the usual mechanical capacitors in order to eliminate any tendency for the unit to change tuning due to vibration.
