- Design and analysis of an active power factor correction circuitZhou, Chen (Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, 1989)The design of an active-unity power factor correction circuit with variable-hysteresis control for off-line dc-to-dc switching power supplies is described. Design equations relating the boost inductor current ripple to the circuit components selection and circuit performance arc discussed. A computer-aided design program (CADO) is developed to give the optimal circuit components selection. A 500 watt, 300 volt experimental circuit is built to verify the simulation and analysis results. The control-to-output response of the power factor circuit is verified with the experimental results. Design guidelines for the low-frequency feedback network are presented. Small-signal closed-loop responses are measured with an experimental power factor circuit.
- The diagramatical solution of the two-impurity Kondo problemZhou, Chen (Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, 1988)The problem of the two-impurity Kondo problem is studied via the perturbative diagrammatical method. The high-temperature magnetic susceptibility is calculated to fourth order in the coupling constant J for different regimes. The integral equations for the ground state energy are established and solved numerically. The two-stage Kondo effect and corresponding energy scales are found which agree with the scaling results.
