Power grid verification and optimization
IR-drop is the voltage drop that is caused by the impedance of power grid and devices' switchings. It is important to verify voltage values of nodes on power grids. To make the circuit work reliably, it is preferable to reduce the voltage drops. Nowadays, power grids are usually in large size, …

Understanding Liquid-Air Interface Corrosion of Steel in Simplified Liquid Nuclear Waste Solutions
Carbon steel is susceptible to the liquid-air interface (LAI) corrosion in liquid nuclear waste and in simulants, but a precise understanding of the mechanism is still missing. This work aimed to expand the understanding of the LAI corrosion mechanism.LAI corrosion was found to initiate at the very …

TRANSITION METAL COATINGS FOR ENERGY CONVERSION AND STORAGE; ELECTROCHEMICAL AND HIGH TEMPERATURE APPLICATIONS
… metal oxide and sulfide electrodes such as RuO2, IrO2, TiS2, and MoS2 exhibit rapid faradaic electron–transfer reactions combined with low resistance. The pseudocapacitance of RuO2 is about 720 F/g, and is 100 times greater than double-layer capacitance of activated carbon electrodes. Due to the …

Design of power delivery networks for noise suppression and isolation using power transmission lines
… networks (PDNs), the PDN impedance is required to be less than the target impedance over the frequency range of interest to minimize the IR drop and to suppress the inductive noise during data transitions. As a result, most PDNs in high-speed systems consist of power and ground planes to …
