Influence of Doping Concentration on the Outputs of a Bent ZnO Nanowire
Abstract:
In this article, the governing equation on electric potential is established by coupling both the semiconducting characteristics and the piezo-effect property of a ZnO nanowire (ZNW). Carrier redistributions are solved for different doping concentrations while considering the effect of both types of charge carriers. The reason for the semiconducting characteristics of a ZNW to induce electric leakage in energy-harvesting is illustrated in detail and a proper initial carrier concentration, n0 or p0 , is obtained as follows: for a n-type ZnO fiber and for a p-type one under the intrinsic carrier concentration ni = 1.0×1016(1/m3) , which is of significance in both the design and the practical applications of piezotronics and piezo-phototropic devices.

Preload
Preload refers to the initial elongation of the cardiac myocytes before contraction and is related to the volume of blood filling the heart at the end of diastole, or end-diastolic volume. The...
Cardiac Output I:Effect of Heart Rate on Cardiac Output
Cardiac output (CO) refers to the total amount of blood ejected by one of the ventricles in liters per minute (L/min). In a resting adult, CO ranges from 5 to 6 L/min, adjusting according to the body's metabolic requirements.
Effect of Heart Rate on Cardiac Output
Cardiac output adapts to metabolic demands during stress, physical activity, or illness. The autonomic nervous system regulates heart rate via the sinoatrial node. The parasympathetic nervous system decreases heart...
