High frequency and large bandwidth are growing trends in communication radio-frequency devices. The LiNbO thin film material is expected to become the preferred piezoelectric material for high coupling resonators in the 5G frequency band due to its ultra-high piezoelectric coefficient and low loss characteristics. The main mode of laterally excited bulk acoustic wave resonators (XBAR) have an ultra-high sound velocity, which enables high-frequency applications. However, the interference of spurious modes is one of the main reasons hindering the widespread application of XBAR. In this paper, a Z-cut LiNbO thin film-based XBAR with arc-shaped electrodes is presented. We investigate the electric field distribution of the XBAR, while the irregular boundary of the arc-shaped electrodes affects the electric field between the existing interdigital transducers (IDTs). The mode shapes and impedance response of the XBAR with arc-shaped electrodes and the XBARs with traditional IDTs are compared in this work. The fabricated XBAR on a 350 nm Z-cut LiNbO thin film with arc-shaped electrodes operating at over 5 GHz achieves a high effective electromechanical coupling coefficient of 29.8% and the spurious modes are well suppressed. This work promotes an XBAR with an optimized electrode design to further achieve the desired performance.

The design of novel electrode deflector structures (EDSs) introduced a promising strategy for enhancing raceway ponds performance, increasing carbon fixation, and improving microalgal biomass accumulation. The computational fluid dynamics, based flow field principles, proved that the potency of arc-shaped electrode deflector structures (A-EDS) and spiral electrode deflector structures (S-EDS) were optimal. These configurations yielded superior culture effects, notably reducing dead zones by 9.

Printing technology will improve the complexity and material waste of traditional deposition and lithography processes in device fabrication. In particular, the printing process can effectively control the functional layer stacking and channel shape in thin-film transistor (TFT) devices. We prepared the patterning indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) semiconductor layer with Ga, In, and Zn molar ratios of 1:2:7 on Si/SiO substrates.

Flexible power sources are crucial to developing flexible electronic systems; nonetheless, the current poor stretchability and stability of flexible power sources hinder their application in such devices. Accordingly, the stretchability and fatigue stability of flexible power sources are crucial for the practical application of flexible electronic systems. In this work, a flexible electrode with an arc-shaped star concave negative Poisson's ratio (NPR) structure is fabricated through the screen printing process.

Acoustic change complex (ACC) is a cortical auditory-evoked potential induced by a change of continuous sound stimulation. This study aimed to explore: (1) whether the change of horizontal sound location can elicit ACC; (2) the relationship between the change of sound location and the amplitude or latency of ACC; (3) the relationship between the behavioral measure of localization, minimum audible angle (MAA), and ACC. A total of 36 normal-hearing adults participated in this study.
