Photonic crystals are anticipated to have impact on large-scale photonic integrated circuits by allowing the creation of compact and efficient devices such as waveguides, splitters, microcavity filters, light emitting diodes, and lasers. Previous experimental research has mainly focused on photonic crystals composed of a lattice of air holes etched into dielectric slabs. This thesis discusses the design, fabrication, and characterization of the "inverse" structure, a square lattice of dielectric-rods in air. Bandgap guiding of 1.5 lam light is experimentally demonstrated for a photonic-crystal waveguide created by introducing a line-defect of smaller-radii rods. To provide efficient optical coupling between input/output dielectric waveguides and the photonic-crystal waveguide, an adiabatic taper having two stages is employed. Furthermore, the thesis investigates novel photonic-crystal devices and fabrication schemes. An expose-develop-etch (EDE) method is utilized to fabricate rod-based photonic-crystal devices in III-V and SOI material systems. The thesis also presents an electrically-activated linear-waveguide photonic-crystal laser. A compact microcavity is created by introducing a defect inside a one-dimensional photonic crystal. Electrical-activation and edge-emission are achieved by patterning microcavity waveguides into p-i-n-doped epitaxial heterostructures. The compact photonic-crystal laser is anticipated to have impact on the integration of optical devices on the same chip.

Full textL’aplicació de la difracció d’electrons per caracteritzar cristal·logràficament tot tipus de materials ha experimentat nous desenvolupaments que han cridat certa atenció durant aquests últims anys. Un gran nombre d’anàlisis estructurals en diferents compostos ja s’han dut a terme amb l’ajut de dades tridimensionals de difracció d’electrons que no eren possibles amb els habituals mètodes de raigs X. L’ús d'un microscopi electrònic de transmissió com a nano-difractòmetre d’electrons ha demostrat ser molt més beneficiós quan es requereixen dades de difracció de nanocristalls individuals, per exemple en mescles de fases cristal·logràfiques. D’aquesta manera, les fases individuals no s’han de sintetitzar en estat pur, fet que sempre comporta el risc de canvis estructurals. El treball presentat aquí inclou el desenvolupament i implementació d’una nova rutina universal per l’adquisició precisa i fiable de dades de difracció d’electrons. El potencial d’aquesta nova estratègia de recopilació de dades per resoldre diversos problemes cristal·logràfics s’il·lustra mitjançant tres materials coneguts. A més a més, dues estructures cristal·lines desconegudes de productes comercials han estat determinades i refinades completament; un colorant orgànic de baixa simetria i una estructura modulada incommensurada d’un component principal del ciment. En particular, el coneixement precís de les diferents estructures cristal·lines dels clinkers de ciment, com ara la alpha’H-C2S, permet l’anàlisi exacta de les fases d'aquestes mescles industrials extretes directament del procés de fabricació, i facilita el seu estudi per reduir les emissions de CO2.

Full textNeste trabalho estudamos a viabilidade do desenvolvimento de um sistema laser de cristal líquido colestérico (CLC) acoplado a fibra óptica visando sua aplicação como um sensor de temperatura. Sensores laser de CLC acoplados a fibra óptica são atrativos devido às enormes vantagens que as fibras ópticas apresentam e à resposta de cristais líquidos a vários estímulos externos. A emissão laser de CLC ocorre na banda de menor energia da banda de reflexão, e corresponde a um comprimento de onda determinado pelo passo e pelo índice de refração extraordinário. Esses parâmetros podem ser alterados pela mudança da temperatura externa, proporcionando variações no comprimento de onda do laser de CLC. Essas variações no comprimento de onda do laser de CLC podem ser usadas para monitorar a temperatura. Obtivemos emissão laser estável num sistema laser CLC acoplado à fibra óptica quando bombeado pelo segundo harmônico de um laser de Nd:YAG e desenvolvemos uma técnica para ancorar o cristal líquido nas extremidades das fibras ópticas. A dependência da emissão laser com a temperatura foi investigada em duas situações, posicionando o laser de CLC entre fibras ópticas e em células de vidro. Diversos cristais líquidos foram estudados a fim de se otimizar a resposta do laser com a temperatura. Variações discretas na dependência do comprimento de onda da emissão laser foram observadas no sistema que utilizava as células de vidro. Associamos esse comportamento à dependência do ancoramento das moléculas do cristal líquido na superfície do vidro com a temperatura.
In this work, we have studied the viability of developing a cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) laser system coupled into an optical fiber aiming its application as temperature sensor. Sensors made of CLC laser coupled to optical fibers are a very attractive proposition due to the enormous advantages of the optical fibers and the response of the liquid crystal to various external stimuli. The laser emission occurs at the low energy edge of the reflection band, and the corresponding wavelength is determined by the pitch and the extraordinary refractive index. These parameters can be altered by a change in the external temperature, leading to variations in the wavelength of the CLC laser emission, which can be used to monitor the external temperature. We obtained a stable laser emission in a CLC laser system coupled into an optical fiber when pumped by the second harmonic of a Nd:YAG laser. A technique to anchor the liquid crystal at the optical fibers ends was developed. The temperature dependence of the laser emission was investigated in two situations, placing the CLC laser between optical fibers and into the glass cells. Several liquid crystals were studied in order to optimize the laser response with temperature. Discrete variations in the temperature dependence of the laser emission wavelength were observed when the glass cell system was used. We associated this behavior to a temperature dependence of the surface anchoring of the liquid crystal molecules in the glass surface.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: The aim of the work presented in this thesis was to design ionic organic framework materials based on carboxylate salts with the intention of engineering interesting properties, such as porosity, into these framework materials. The first section focuses on the characterisation and porosity studies of an ionic framework material, 3,4-lutidinium pamoate hemihydrate, with THF-filled channels in the solid state. It was shown that this framework is able to exchange the THF in the channels for a wide variety of compounds, with many of these exchanges occurring in a single-crystal to single-crystal fashion. Competition experiments conducted with the framework, both by immersing crystals of the framework in solvent mixtures, as well as by exposing crystals of the framework to mixtures of solvent vapours, indicated that it is able to selectively exchange for one guest over another. The kinetics of exchange of this framework were studied, and it was possible to identify a kinetic model describing this process. A second novel framework-type material, 4-phenylpyridinium pamoate, was identified during the course of this study, as well as five isostructural frameworks containing different guest molecules. In this case the framework consists of discrete units that close-pack in such a way that guest molecules are included in constricted cavities in the solid state. Although this framework-type material is not porous, it is thermally quite stable and also highly selective. It is able to selectively encapsulate 1,4-dioxane when crystallised from various solvent combinations including 1,4-dioxane. In addition, eight novel structures with pamoic acid in combination with various pyridyl derivatives were obtained. A third novel framework material was obtained with N,N'-bis(glycinyl)pyromellitic diimide in which, due to the extended hydrogen-bonded network formed between the constituents of the framework, DMF molecules are aligned in channels. It was found that this framework material can also be formed by mechanochemical synthesis, and investigation of the thermal behaviour of this framework showed that it has the potential to be porous, since the framework appears to remain intact after desolvation. Furthermore, six novel structures with N,N'- bis(glycinyl)pyromellitic diimide in combination with various N-heterocycles were obtained. All structures obtained in this study were also further analysed to determine whether there are particular structural features that are required for framework formation. Insights gained from these investigations, in terms of degree of ionisation of the anion, packing arrangements and hydrogen bonding patterns as well as the molecular shape of the components are discussed.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die doel van die werk wat in hierdie tesis voorgelê word is om ioniese organiese raamwerkmateriale gebaseer op karboksilaatione te ontwerp, met die voorneme om interessante eienskappe in hierdie materiale te bewerkstellig. Die eerste afdeling fokus op die karakterisering en porositeit van ‘n ioniese organiese raamwerkmateriaal, 3,4-lutidiniumpamoaathemihidraat, wat kanale gevul met tetrahidrofuraan (THF) besit. Dit is aangetoon dat dit moontlik is vir hierdie raamwerkmateriaal om die THF in die kanale te verruil vir ‘n wye verskeidenheid stowwe, waarvan baie van hierdie uitruilings geskied as ‘n enkelkristal tot enkelkristal transformasie. Kompetisie-eksperimente is met hierdie raamwerkmateriaal uitgevoer deur die kristalle in mengsels van oplosmiddels te onderdompel, sowel as deur die kristalle aan mengsels van die oplosmiddeldampe bloot te stel. Die resultate het aangedui dat dit moontlik is vir hierdie raamwerkmateriaal om een gasstof selektief teenoor ‘n ander te verruil vir die THF in die kanale. Die kinetika van die uitruilingsproses van hierdie materiaal is ook bestudeer en dit was moontlik om ‘n kinetiese model te identifiseer wat die uitruilingsproses beskryf. ‘n Tweede nuwe raamwerk-tipe materiaal, 4-fenielpiridiniumpamoaat, is deur die loop van hierdie studie geïdentifiseer, sowel as vyf isostrukturele raamwerkmateriale waarvan net die gasstof verskil. In hierdie geval bestaan die raamwerk uit diskrete eenhede wat op so ‘n wyse saampak dat die gasstowwe in vernoude porieë ingesluit word. Alhoewel hierdie raamwerk-tipe materiaal nie poreus is nie, is dit termies stabiel en ook hoogs selektief. Die raamwerkmateriaal kan selektief 1,4-dioksaan enkapsuleer wanneer dit gekristalliseer word vanuit ‘n verskeidenheid oplosmiddel kombinasies met 1,4-dioksaan. Verder is agt nuwe strukture verkry met die pamoaat ioon in kombinasie met ‘n verskeidenheid piridien-derivate. ‘n Derde nuwe raamwerkmateriaal is verkry met N,N'-bis(glisiniel)piromellitiese diïmied waarin, danksy die uitgebreide waterstofgebinde netwerk tussen die komponente van die raamwerk, die DMF molekules in kanale aangetref word. Hierdie raamwerkmateriaal kan deur meganochemiese sintese berei word en verdere ondersoek na die termiese gedrag van hierdie raamwerkmateriaal dui aan dat dit die potensiaal het om porositeit te toon, aangesien die raamwerk behoue bly nadat die DMF molekules verwyder is. Ses nuwe strukture is ook met N,N'-bis(glisiniel)piromellitiese diïmied in kombinasie met ‘n wye verskeidenheid stikstof-bevattende heterosikliese verbindings verkry. Alle strukture wat tydens hierdie studie verkry is, is verder ondersoek om te bepaal of daar spesifieke strukturele kenmerke is wat benodig word vir die vorming van raamwerkmateriale. Insigte wat verkry is vanuit hierdie ondersoeke, in terme van die graad van ionisasie van die anioon, die rangskikking van molekules in die struktuur en waterstofbindingspatrone, sowel as die molekulêre vorm van die komponente, word bespreek.

-endotoxins (crystal proteins). A comparison was made between the representative members of three different subspecies of Bt to observe toxin yields in response to certain nutritional conditions. Three different Bt subspecies were Bt kurstaki (strain 81), Bt israelensis (strain HD500) and Bt tenebrionis (strain 3203), producing lepidoptera- and diptera-specific Cry1 and Cry2, diptera-specific Cry4Ba and Cry11Aa and coleoptera-specific Cry3Aa toxins, respectively. Studies were conducted to optimize glucose and inorganic phosphate concentrations in standard DSM medium for the production of these Bt-based biopesticides. General suppression of toxin yields in high glucose medium (10 g/L) thought the generality of carbon catabolite regulation for biosynthesis of different types of toxins. Inorganic phosphate (Pi) level was important for Cry4Ba, Cry11Aa and Cry3Aa biosynthesis while Cry1 and Cry2 production was not responsive to high Pi. Wastewater sludge, fruit residues and broiler litter were next tested as cheap raw materials for Bt-based biopesticide production in batch cultures. Broiler litter seemed to be a much better substrate among all since some degree of production of each toxin was observed at almost every stage of fermentation. The processing of broiler litter was found to significantly improve toxin yields. The medium prepared from processed broiler litter was successfully used to cultivate all Bt stains and obtain bioinsecticidal proteins in high yields which were comparable or higher than those that can be obtained on standard semi-synthetic media.
