Abstract
Wireless communication systems benefit from robustness and adaptability to different scenarios and environments. This requires systems and components that can be reconfigured as necessary. To create these reconfigurable components, we have been exploring the use of room-temperature liquid metals as an enabling technology. This talk will cover our work in utilizing liquid metals to create reconfigurable devices and circuits. The types of liquid metal that will be focused on include gallium alloys such as gallium/indium/tin and eutectic gallium indium, as these materials are liquid at room temperature and have low toxicity as well as other attractive properties. This talk will describe the use of applied voltages to deform and actuate gallium-based liquid metals by altering their surface tension. The use of surface tension means that the forces scale favorably as the liquid-metal dimensions are decreased to microscale volumes. Thus, there is potential for liquid-metal circuits in 5G and millimeter-wave communication bands.
