Optofluidics is a new branch within photonics which attempts to unify concepts from optics and microfluidics. Unification of photonics and microfluidics enable us to carry out analysis of fluids through highly sensitive ...

A Paul trap mass spectrometer has a three-electrode geometry mass analyzer consisting of two identical end cap electrodes and a ring electrode. Traditionally, the two end cap electrodes are electrically grounded and an RF ...

Ion traps used in mass spectrometers are of two classes. One class consists of traps having three electrode geometries which have rotational symmetry about central axis. They are called axially symmetric ion traps. Paul ...

This thesis presents axially symmetric equivalents of three-dimensional rf ion traps. Miniaturization in mass spectrometry has focused on miniaturizing mass analyzers. Decrease in mass analyzer size facilitates reduction ...

Transition metal carbides have great industrial importance with a wide area of applications. Unlike many ceramic materials which can be produced from raw materials found in nature, the refractory carbides generally do not ...

Fluorescence microscopy is an indispensable tool in the areas of cell biology, histology and material science as it enables non-invasive observation of specimen in their natural environment. The main advantage of fluorescence ...

This work describes the development of an optical probe for measuring movement of tissue particles deep inside which are loaded by an ultrasound remote palpation device. The principle of the method is that ultrasound force ...

All solid state Li-ion batteries (thin film micro batteries) have become inevitable for miniaturized devices and sensors as power sources. Fabrication of electrode materials for batteries in thin film form has been carried ...

Efficient and accurate sensing of various parameters is needed for numerous applications. In this regard, different categories of sensors play a significant role and different applications require diverse sensing mechanisms ...
