This paper reports on the extraction of the equivalent circuit model parameters of a physically defined silicon quantum dot at a cryogenic temperature and design of the impedance matching circuits to improve the performance of a charge sensor for radio-frequency (RF) reflectometry. The I-V characteristics and the S-parameters of the quantum dot device are measured around a Coulomb peak at 4.2 K. The measured results are modeled by an RC parallel circuit, and the model parameters for the quantum dot device were obtained. We consider three impedance matching circuits for RF reflectometry of a quantum dot: shunt capacitor-series inductor type, shunt inductor-series capacitor type, and shunt inductor-series inductor-type. We formulate and compare the sensitivity and bandwidth of RF reflectometry for the three types of circuits. The analysis should be useful for selecting the optimal matching circuit and the circuit parameters for given equivalent circuit parameters and working frequency. This procedure is demonstrated for a quantum dot with the characterized model circuit along with simulated performance. This design technique of matching circuit for RF reflectometry can be applied to any device that can be represented by an RC parallel circuit. These results will facilitate to realize fast semiconductor qubit readout in various quantum dot platforms.

This paper presents a scheme for the modified chaotic circuits based on inductance integration. In view of the fact that the DC resistance of an inductor in the circuit cannot be ignored, this way of constructing the circuits is provided that can eliminate its influence on the integral circuits. By means of cascading an inverting adder circuit and inductance integral circuit, the output signal of the integral circuit is fed back to the inverting adder circuit, and its additive term is artificially added to match the actual inductance integrated circuit to achieve integral circuit based on the actual inductor which can offset the effect of its DC resistance. In order to verify the generality of the design, the process of designing Lorenz chaotic circuit is given and its attractors can also be observed from the oscilloscope.

In this paper, a new method is proposed for improving a piezoelectric energy harvester’s output power. A piezoelectric vibration energy harvester has an inherent internal capacitance. The new approach adopts inductance to reduce the reactance of the internal capacitance and enhance the output power. To show the practicality of this method, four electrical circuits are investigated numerically and experimentally for a piezoelectric beam energy harvester: Simple Resistive Load, Inductive Load, standard AC-DC, and Inductive AC-DC circuits. An Inductive Load circuit is built by adding an inductor to a Simple Resistive Load circuit, while an Inductive AC-DC circuit is built by adding an inductor to a standard AC-DC circuit. Experimental results indicate that the Inductive Load and the Inductive AC-DC circuits avail the Simple Resistive Load and standard AC-DC circuits respectively. The inductive AC-DC circuit shows a 6.7% increase in the output power compared to the standard AC-DC circuit.

Abstract A pair of LC circuits has been used to demonstrate the resonance condition of electromagnetic waves. The first circuit comprises of an inductor, a capacitor and a power supply; while the second pair employs an inductor, a variable capacitor and a neon bulb. The same inductance is applied in both circuits. The variable capacitor is a parallel plate capacitor. By varying the capacitance in the second circuit, we achieve the resonance condition as indicated by the lit neon bulb. By doing so, we observe the equal oscillation frequency in both, the first and second circuit. The condition is then used to obtain the permittivity of air to be (6.1±0.2) x10-11 F/m.
