    摘要: An ultra-low voltage microfluidic device for manipulating droplets of liquid by inducing Marangoni stress therein includes a plurality of smart-polymer electrodes having films of smart polymer exposed at their surfaces. The surface of the smart polymer becomes hydrophobic or hydrophilic in response to different electromagnetic potentials. The smart polymer is reversibly oxidized by applying an electrical potential such that the smart polymer acquires a positive electrical charge. The oxidized smart polymer is reduced by applying an electrical potential such that it loses its positive electrical charge. The smart polymer is doped with a chemical compound having a negatively-charged end and a long-chain hydrophobic tail. The smart polymer is a polypyrrole and the dopant is a dodecylbenzene sulfonate. The microfluidic device includes a plurality of individually-addressable control electrodes, each of which is electrically-connected with smart-polymer electrodes. Droplets are transported, cut, or mixed by selectively applying electrical potential to individual electrodes.

    摘要: In a lithographic process suitable for use in the manufacture of electronic components, oxidative reactions are employed to reproducibly fabricate patterns having micro- or nano-scale dimensions. An electrically-conductive template is fabricated to have a nanometer-scale sharp edge and describe a pattern having a micron-scale length. The oxidative reaction is mediated by a water meniscus connecting the sharp edge of the template and an oxidizable substrate. One suitable substrate is graphene. The template can be controllably positioned using a light lever method.

    摘要: A PZT unimorph actuated, continuous transferred membrane comprises a controllably deformable mirror. The actuators with a 12 μm stroke at 20V are fabricated as an array, which is designed to meet the unique needs of adaptive optics systems for vision science. What is provided is a deformable mirror with capabilities such a robust construction, low power, compact size and low weight. The actuation principle for deforming a mirror element is based on the piezoelectric unimorph. A voltage applied to the piezoelectric layer induces stress in the longitudinal direction causing the piezoelectric unimorph to deform and push on the portion of the mirror connected to it. The advantage of this approach lies in the fact that generally small strains obtainable from the piezoelectric material at modest voltages are thus translated into large displacements.

    摘要: In a method for adjusting the sensitivity of a photodetector, the bandgap of the photodetection material is adjusted by inducing strain in the photodetection material. Such adjustments can be made in situ and continuously, in a reproducible and repeatable manner. In embodiments of the method, the photodetection material is graphene, carbon nanotubes or graphene nanoribbon. The use of graphene permits a dynamically-adjustable sensitivity over a dynamic range of radiation having wavelengths of 1.38 microns or less, up to at least 60 microns. In an adjustable photodetector, a graphene layer is suspended over a silicon substrate by a layer of an insulating material. Adjusting the voltage across the graphene layer and the silicon substrate induces strain in the graphene layer by electrostatic attraction.
