Capacitance measurement: Understand and use the right technique to dramatically improve results

A capacitor measured with a $100 handheld multi-meter can give a substantially different result than the same capacitor measured with a $10,000 LCR meter. That same capacitor measured with two ...

Origin of the dielectric dead layer in nanoscale capacitors

The deleterious effect of the dead layer on the static response of the device can be understood from the induced potentials shown in Fig. 1b. First we kept the atoms fixed to their zero-field ...
