Ferroelectric Materials for Next-Generation Non-Volatile Memory Applications
Abstract: The continuous scaling of conventional memory technologies is increasingly constrained by limitations in power consumption, speed, endurance, and integration density. As data-intensive applications such as artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, and edge computing demand fast and energy-efficient memory solutions, alternative non-volatile memory technologies have gained significant attention. Ferroelectric materials, characterized by their reversible spontaneous polarization, offer a promising pathway toward next-generation non-volatile memory due to their intrinsic non-volatility, low operating …

Automatic Staircase Lighting
Abstract: AbstractThe automatic staircase lighting system is a lighting control system where the lights are automated according to the presence of people using the staircase. It can be further extended with a user interface on mobile devices. With this project, we will successfully create a system where lighting control will be purely based on human presence and hence eliminating the need for manual switching. This circuit can be used to save …

Case Study of Multipulse Converter System for IGBT Based Inverter in Induction Melting Furnace
Abstract: AbstractHarmonic mitigation is an important aspect for the smooth operation of modern power electronics converters, medical equipment, and home appliances which are generally fed by a common grid supply. In large power equipment such as induction furnaces, it becomes necessary to reduce or eliminate harmonics from the supply. In order to cater dynamic load cycle during complete melting cycles in induction furnaces, power needs to vary. This can be achieved …

Arduino Based Motor Control Using LabVIEW
Abstract: AbstractSpeed of a DC motor varies proportional to the input voltage. With a fixed supply voltage, the speed of the motor can be changed by switching the supply on and off so frequently that the motor notices only the average voltage effect and not the switching operation. This project focuses on controlling the speed of a DC motor using PWM technique. The project basically consists of Arduino and motor driver, …

Closed Loop Control of Interleaved Buck Converter with Extremely Low Output Current Ripple
Abstract: AbstractIn this paper, the analysis and modeling of interleaved buck converter with PI controller is discussed. Converters are controlled by two active switches, which have the same switching frequency but 180° out of phase. The loss associated with the power device is half of the input voltage and the duty cycle is below 50%. By paralleling the converters, the input current can be shared among the inductors so that high …

Graphene and 2D-Material-Based Transistors for Next-Generation Nanoelectronics: Device Modeling and Performance Analysis
Abstract: The continuous scaling of conventional silicon-based metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) has created increasing challenges related to short-channel effects, leakage current, electrostatic control, power consumption, and variability. Two-dimensional (2D) materials have emerged as promising channel materials for future nanoelectronics devices because of their atomically thin thickness, strong electrostatic controllability, and van der Waals interfaces provide opportunities for aggressive device scaling. Graphene, transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), black phosphorus, hexagonal boron nitride, and related …
