In this work we show small (0.49 cm2) and thin (<70 µm) photovoltaic mini-generators capable of providing open circuit voltages up to 99 V and short circuit currents of 43 µA, achieving a maximum density power of 4.8 mW/cm2. ...

In this study, we have fabricated metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitors where the insulator layer is made of 255¿nm diameter silica nanospheres. The MIM devices have been characterized and modeled by electrochemical ...

The Electrospray technique allows the formation of small droplets from aqueous solutions that may contain nanoparticles of different materials in suspension, leading to the deposition of layers of the nanoparticles. The ...

Mass production of ordered nanostructures with enhanced optical properties such as colloidal crystals for applications such as solar cells or organic light emitted diodes demands low-cost and large-scale manufacturing ...

In this work, the design, fabrication and characterisation of a millimetre-size photovoltaic (PV) energy source is described. The fabrication process is based on p-type silicon-on-insulator wafers. It is shown that scaling ...

This paper describes the design and optimization of a hot-wire air flowmeter. A low-cost design of the packaging allows good thermal contact with the airflow, as well as good thermal isolation between the hot and cold ...

Photonic crystals are widely used in optical applications as waveguides and band filters. Filling the periodic structural material of photonic crystals with other materials is very useful in order to change the optical ...
