The model can be used to predict the sound absorption effect of composite structure for sound absorbing and guide the design of the structure parameters. The accuracy of the model is verified by comparing the calculated results obtained from the model with the experimental data. The best sound absorption properties can be obtained by adjusting the multi-layer structure parameters of foam metal.","PeriodicalId":136138,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Noise and Fluctuations (ICNF)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122630743","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We focus on the efficiency of the motor and discuss various definitions. We show that within selected parameter regimes, nonequilibrium noise η (t) can be significantly more effective than the deterministic force F. This implies that the motor moves much faster and its efficiency distinctly increases. These features are independent of the assumed Brownian motor efficiency measure. We demonstrate this feature with detailed simulations by resource to generalized white Poissonian noise. Our theoretical results can be tested and corroborated experimentally by use of a setup that consists of a resistively and capacitively shunted Josephson junction.","PeriodicalId":136138,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Noise and Fluctuations (ICNF)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131365309","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Not all noise contributions from the amplifiers can however be eliminated or even just attenuated by cross-correlation: therefore it is important to take into consideration the detailed characteristics of the DUT (Device Under Test) and of the amplifiers when setting up the measurement system. Here we discuss the relative advantages of the different (“series” and “parallel”) configurations coupled with our technique for the accurate evaluation of the transimpedance between the noise source to be measured and the amplifier output. In particular, we show (i) the importance of the comparison between the real and the imaginary part of the cross-spectrum due to the asymmetry of the correlation amplifiers and (ii) how to estimate the maximum number of averages in the cross-spectrum evaluation that leads to an actual advantage from the point of view of the measurement accuracy. Finally we discuss the issue of shielding from external spurious signals, whose relevance is often underestimated.","PeriodicalId":136138,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Noise and Fluctuations (ICNF)","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133054020","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since several LFN models have been proposed for OTFTs, then we compare and discuss the merits of each model. Specifically, we discuss models based on the Hooge equation, trapping (flat-band number fluctuation), VRH (conduction fluctuation) and the most recent layer-separation theory.","PeriodicalId":136138,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Noise and Fluctuations (ICNF)","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116121323","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
