Sintering conditions typical for thick film resistors were used. Intensity of main lines of RuO2 in X-ray diffraction patterns of sintered mixtures decreases and they slightly shift towards small angles. No new reflexes appear in these patterns. Absorbance of RuO2 in the range of 2.5-100 μm is proportional to and featureless. Infrared spectrum of lead-silicate glass has absorption bands of [SiO4]4- tetrahedra and Pb-O bonds only. Optical spectrum of RuO2 has wide absorption bands at 950 and 370 nm. Spectra of the mixture of RuO2 and glass powders before and after sintering are different indicating that there is interaction between them during the sintering process. Concentration of free charge carriers estimated from the optical spectra is about 1021 cm-3.展开更多

Noting, all the standard textbooks of physics and engineering irrespective of the used components are circuits assembled in two dimensions. Here, by deviating from the “norm” we consider a case where the resistors are arranged in a 3D structure;e.g., a cube. Although, independent of the dimension of the design the same physics principles apply, transitioning from a 2D to a 3D makes the corresponding analysis considerably challenging. In general, with no exception, depending on the used components the analysis faces with solving a set of either algebraic or differential-algebraic equations. Practically, this interfaces with a Computer Algebra System (CAS). The main objective is symbolically to identify the current distributions and the equivalent resistor (s) of cubically assembled resistors.展开更多

The analysis requires solving twelve differential-algebraic intertwined symbolic equations. This is accomplished by applying a Computer Algebra System (CAS), specifically Mathematica. The needed codes are included. For a set of values assigned to the elements, the numeric results are depicted.展开更多
