In the Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) technique, a monolayer on the water surface is transferred onto a substrate, which is raised and dipped through the surface. From this, multilayers can be obtained in which constituent molecules are periodically arranged. The LB technique has attracted considerable interest in the fabrication of electrical and electronic devices. Many researchers have investigated the electrical properties of monolayer and multiplayer films. Dendrimers represent a new class of synthetic macromolecules characterized by a regularly branched treelike structure. Multiple branching yields a large number of chain ends that distinguish dendrimers from conventional star-like polymers and microgels. The azobenzene dendrimer is one of the dendritic macromolecules that include the azo-group exhibiting a photochromic character. Due to the presence of the charge transfer element of the azo-group and its rod-shaped structure, these compounds are expected to have potential interest in electronics and ptoelectronics, especially in nonlinear optics. In the present paper, we give pressure stimulation to organic thin films and detect the induced displacement current.

ZnO varistors are widely used as surge arresters in power system based on their excellent nonlinearity. The property of power loss of ZnO varistors is related to the thermal stability and their life-spans of ZnO surge arresters. The power losses of ZnO varistors under different temperatures and applied voltages were measured, and the properties of power losses were analyzed. The Artificial Neural Network (ANN) was used to simulate the power losses properties of ZnO varistors which is an adaptive nonlinear dynamic system, and the results calculated by ANN simulating model were in good agreement with the tested ones.

The microstructure, voltage-current, capacitance-voltage, and dielectric characteristics of CCT doped Zn/Pr-based varistors were investigated at different sintering temperatures. As the sintering temperature increased, the average grain size increased from 4.3 to 5.1 ${\mu}m$ and the sintered density was saturated at 5.81 g $cm^{-3}$. As the sintering temperature increased, the breakdown field decreased from 7,532 to 5,882 V $cm^{-1}$ and the nonlinear coefficient decreased from 46 to 34. As the sintering temperature increased, the donor density, density of interface states, and barrier height decreased in the range of (9.06-7.24)${\times}10^{17}\;cm^{-3}$, (3.05-2.56)${\times}10^{12}\;cm^{-2}$, and 1.1-0.95 eV, respectively. The dielectric constant exhibited relatively low value in the range of 529.1-610.3, whereas the $tan{\delta}$ exhibited a high value in the range of 0.0910-0.1053.

The electrical characteristics of $ZnO-Pr_6O_{11}-CoO-Cr_2O_3-Y_2O_3$(ZPCCY)-based varistors were investigated with $Y_2O_3$ content in the range of 0.0~4.0 mol%. As $Y_2O_3$ content is increased, the average grain size was markedly decreased in the range of 18.6~3.2 $\mu m$ and the density of the ceramic was decreased in the range of 5.53 ~3.74 $g/\textrm{cm}^3$. While, the varistor voltage was increased in the range of 39.4~748.1 V/mm and the nonlinear exponent was in the range of 4.5~51.2 with increasing $Y_2O_3$ content. The addition of $Y_2O_3$ greatly enhanced the nonlinear properties of varistors, compared with the varistor without $Y_2O_3$. In particular, the varistors with $Y_2O_3$content of 0.5 mol% exhibited the highest nonlinearity, in which the nonlinear exponent is 51.2 and the leakage current is 1.3 $\mu A$. The donor concentration and the density of interface states were decreased in the range of (4.19~0.14) $\times$10$^{18}$ /㎤ and (5.38~1.15)${\times}10^{18}/\textrm{cm}^3$, respectively, with increasing $Y_2O_3$ content.

Feedback Linearization technique needs the exact cancellation of nonlinearity which restricts its application to real environment. To overcome these shortcomings, High-pin feedback is good remedy to this problem. In this paper, we briefly survey the high-gain feedback control technique and show some conditions for applying this method to nonlinear systems. In order to use this technique in real situation, some properties of ${\varepsilon}$-bound and semi-global stabilization are discussed.

A finite element analysis for a synchronous reluctance motor (SynRM) is presented with emphasis on the effect of saturation and iron losses. Preisachs model, which allows accurate prediction of iron losses, is adopted in this procedure to provide a nonlinear solution. This technique provide significant properties of proposed SynRM under the magnetic saturation and iron losses effect.

The Microstructure and nonlinear electrical properties of the ZPCCYT (ZnO-$Pr_6O_{11}$-CoO-$Cr_2O_3$-$Y_2O_3$-$Tb_4O_7$) varistors were investigated for different amounts of $Tb_4O_7$. The addition of $Tb_4O_7$ has a significant effect on microstructure and electrical properties. Analysis of the microstructure indicated that the ceramics consisted of ZnO grain as a main phase and a few secondary phases as a mix of $Pr_6O_{11}$, $Y_2O_3$, and $Tb_4O_7$. As the amount of $Tb_4O_7$ increased, the sintered densities of pellets increased from $\rho$ = 5.70 to $5.78g/cm^3$ and the average grain size decreased from d = 4.8 to $3.6{\mu}m$. The increase in the amount of $Tb_4O_7$ increased from $E_B$ = 7,473 to 10,035 V/cm and from ${\alpha}$ = 39.7 to 52.2. In particular, it was found that the ceramics modified with 1.0 mol% in the amount of $Tb_4O_7$ are suited for the varistors for high voltage in the light of a high sintered density and a high voltage gradient.

Medical imaging techniques have evolved to expand our ability to visualize new contrast information of electrical, optical, and mechanical properties of tissues in the human body using noninvasive measurement methods. In particular, electrical tissue property imaging techniques have received considerable attention for the last few decades since electrical properties of biological tissues and organs change with their physiological functions and pathological states. We can express the electrical tissue properties as the frequency-dependent admittivity, which can be measured in a macroscopic scale by assessing the relation between the time-harmonic electric field and current density. The main issue is to reconstruct spectroscopic admittivity images from 10 Hz to 1 MHz, for example, with reasonably high spatial and temporal resolutions. It requires a solution of a nonlinear inverse problem involving Maxwell's equations. To solve the inverse problem with practical significance, we need deep knowledge on its mathematical formulation of underlying physical phenomena, implementation of image reconstruction algorithms, and practical limitations associated with the measurement sensitivity, specificity, noise, and data acquisition time. This paper discusses a number of issues in electrical tissue property imaging modalities and their future directions.

The influence of yttrium doping on varistor properties of zinc-vanadium-based ceramics was comprehensively investigated. The average grain size varied slightly between 5.2 and $5.5{\mu}m$ as the yttrium content increased; and similarly, the sintered density varied slightly between 5.47 and $5.51g/cm^3$. The threshold field exhibited a maximum value (5387 V/cm) when the yttrium content was 0.1 mol%. The highest nonlinear exponent (67) was obtained when the yttrium content was 0.05 mol%. The donor concentration increased in the range of $(2.46-5.56){\times}10^{17}cm^{-3}$ as the yttrium content increased, and the maximum barrier height was obtained (1.24 eV) when the yttrium content reached 0.05 mol%.
