Journal ArticleDOI
Impact-driven, frequency up-converting coupled vibration energy harvesting device for low frequency operation
Lei Gu,Carol Livermore +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a low frequency resonator impacts a high frequency energy harvesting resonator, resulting in energy harvesting predominantly at the system's coupled vibration frequency, and a reduced mechanical damping ratio during coupled vibration enables increased electrical power generation as compared with conventional technology.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Coulomb Blockade in Coupled Quantum Dots
TL;DR: The Coulomb blockade was used to determine the ground-state charge configuration within the “molecule” as a function of the total charge on the double dot and the interdot polarization induced by electrostatic gates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Compact passively self-tuning energy harvesting for rotating applications
Lei Gu,Carol Livermore +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a self-tuning energy harvester for rotating applications is presented, which is composed of a relatively rigid piezoelectric generating beam and a narrow, flexible driving beam with a tip mass mounted at the end.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measuring interactions between tunnel-coupled quantum dots
F. R. Waugh,Michael J. Berry,Catherine H. Crouch,Carol Livermore,D. J. Mar,Robert M. Westervelt,K. L. Campman,Arthur C. Gossard +7 more
TL;DR: Low-temperature tunneling measurements through double and triple quantum dots with adjustable interdot tunnel conductance, fabricated in a GaAs/Al xGa12xAs heterostructure show quasiperiodic beating and peak suppression for weak inter dot tunneling.
Journal ArticleDOI
Scalable, MEMS-enabled, vibrational tactile actuators for high resolution tactile displays
TL;DR: In this paper, the design, fabrication, and characterization of a tactile display for people with blindness or low vision is reported, where each tactile element comprises a piezoelectric extensional actuator that vibrates in plane, with a microfabricated scissor mechanism to convert the in-plane actuations into robust, higher-amplitude, out-of-plane (vertical) vibrations that are sensed with the finger pads.
