AC current crowding effect is modeled as a parallel RC circuit composed of Cbi and Rbi, with distributed base-collector junction capacitance also taken into account. The intrinsic portion is taken as a whole and extracted directly from the measured Sparameters in the whole frequency range of operation without any special test structures. An HBT device with a 2 × 20 μm^(2) emitter-area under three different biases were used to demonstrate the extraction and verify the accuracy of the equivalent circuit.展开更多

The chain closure in spherical crowders is dominated by the increased medium viscosity so that it gets slower with the increasing volume fraction of crowders. By contrast, the dynamics of chain closure becomes very complicated with increasing volume fraction of crowders in spherocylindrical crowders. Notably, the mean closure time is found to have a dramatic decrease at a range of volume fraction of crowders 0.36-0.44. We then elucidate that an isotropic to nematic transition of spherocylindrical crowders at this range of volume fraction of crowders is responsible for the unexpected dramatic decrease in the mean closure time.展开更多

We demonstrated some special dynamical behaviors of the positive solutions of this system which the persistence of the coexistence of two species can be obtained when the crowding region in the prey equation only is designed suitably. Furthermore, we can obtain that under some conditions, the unique positive steady state solution of the system is globally asymptotically stable.展开更多

A swept microwave signal with the power of 0–30 d Bm is supplied to a dumbbell-shaped microstrip antenna, and the significant differences in microwave magnetic-field amplitudes attributed to the current crowding effect are experimentally observed in a 2.20 mm ×1.22 mm imaging area. The normalized microwave magnetic-field amplitude along the horizontal geometrical center of the image area further demonstrates the feasibility of the characterization of the current crowding effect. The experiments indicate the proposal can be qualified for the characterization of the anomalous area of the radio-frequency chip surface.展开更多
