Demonstration of Polymer Microring Resonator for Optical Biosensor using COMSOL
In this paper, we use a COMSOL Multiphysics® model to demonstrate the potential use of polymer microring resonator structures for optical biosensing applications. When the refractive index of the area surrounding the microring resonator changes, there is a shift in the resonance ... Read More
Optoelectronic Simulation of An Organic Bulk Heterojunction Solar Cell with COMSOL
In this project, we developed a 3D optoelectronic model for organic bulk-heterojunction solar cells. We validated our COMSOL Multiphysics® model with experimental data and used our simulation to predict the optical and electrical characteristics of a 3D plasmonic OPV device. This work ... Read More
Numerical and Experimental Study of Water Drop Movement Subjected to an Air Stream in Porous Medium
Considering a liquid drop in relative movement with respect to the air flow at uniform velocity, the liquid will be driven to the surface by the viscous friction. Internal vortices will appear inside the drop. This problem has already been studied in fluid mechanics and is well known as ... Read More
Some Commonly Neglected Issues Which Affect DEP Applications
Dielectrophoresis (or DEP) has been exploited for various micro and nano fluidics applications like patterning, sorting and separation. However, there are several commonly neglected issues in quantifying DEP forces. Such negligence could potentially lead to wrong DEP force predictions ... Read More
