Abstract:
Metal nanostructures and noble metal-based nanostructures, in particular, exhibit plasmonic resonance in the visible region. The resonance absorption can be tuned by varying the size of nanoparticle and the external matrix in which the plasmonic materials are embedded. Mie’s theory has been used to demonstrate the shift in the plasmonic resonance in gold nanoparticles embedded in different dielectric media. Two model systems, viz. Au–ZnO and Au–Al2O3, prepared by sputtering on quartz substrates were used to study the optical absorption. The plasmonic peaks were observed to be red shifted in Au–Al2O3 and Au–ZnO, as is also supported by Mie formalism. The dielectric constant of the external matrix viz., Al2O3 and ZnO, estimated using the experimental and the Mie simulations are 3.05 and 1.83, respectively.

Abstract:
Tuning properties of neurons, which represent how information is encoded in neural firing, are well accepted as time variant. For a steady-performed brain machine interface (BMI), the decoding algorithm should be able to catch this change in time. Unfortunately, an assumption-less tuning property is too complicate to trace. Simplifying the tuning curve to linear or exponential one may lose important information. We propose to approximate the tuning curve with multiple Gaussian functions, and modeled the non-stationary tuning curves by the changes on the Gaussian parameters. Applied on in vivo neural data when the monkey is performing a 2-dimension tracking task, we found the non-stationary tuning properties can be tracked by the changes on parameters of Gaussian components, which greatly decreases the number of parameters need to be observed. Following this idea, we can design an adaptive method by updating parameters of tuning model.

Lloyd, Gareth Owen. "Anion-tuning of supramolecular gel properties." Thesis, Durham University, 2010. http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/186/.

Full text
Abstract:
Low molecular weight gelators (LMWGs) are a class of compounds that has garnered great interest from material, synthetic, supramolecular and biological chemists. Anion tuning of these supramolecular gels is a burgeoning field of study. Two classes of compounds, chiral bisureas and urea derivatised pyrazoles are studied. The synthesized chiral bisurea compounds act as gelators in a variety of solvents. Addition of anions in the form of tetrabutyl ammonium salts was found to afford break up of the gels. Studies reveal that the rheological characteristics of these materials can be tuned using the simple addition of sub-stoichiometric amounts of anion. Variation in the length of the alkyl chain of the spacer separating the chiral and bisurea moieties affects the gel formation of a series of related compounds. Compounds with even numbered spaced alkyl chains were found to gel, whereas the odd numbered spaced alkyl chain compounds did not. Crystal growth within the gel matrix influences the crystallization processes and the use of anion induced break down of the LMWGs allows for easy recovery of the grown crystals. Drug compounds, bound upon gelation of a solution containing the drugs, were found to be released in a controlled manner from the gel matrix. Urea functionalised pyrazoles were synthesized. Crystallographic determination of the hydrogen bonding of the compounds as well as the coordination chemistry of these compounds was obtained. Anion binding studies, in addition to the crystallographic results, reveal that the urea or thiourea groups form an intramolecular hydrogen bond with the pyrazole group resulting in an anti conformation. This prevents formation of gels except in one case. The gelation of 1-(3-methyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)-3-(3-nitrophenyl)urea in acidic water overcomes this problem by protonation of the pyrazole group resulting in a syn conformation of the urea group. Anion tuning of the gel properties is revealed where nitrate and chloride result in precipitation of gels and the rheological characteristics can be tuned by changing the anion’s identity.

Les cellules photovoltaïques conventionnelles approchent leur limite fondamentale. Bien que les matériaux électriquement polaires offrent une solution alternative, la compréhension de leurs propriétés photovoltaïques, ainsi que la rareté des composés efficaces constituent un défi important. Cette thèse été consacrée à la recherche d'un composé photovoltaïque dit modèle et optimisation de sa performance. En conséquence, les propriétés photovoltaïques ont été découvertes dans le complexe PMN–xPT. Il est démontré l'existence d'une non-linéarité dans le photo-courant dans l'état de polarisation saturée qui peut également entraîner un effet de mémoire optique. Les études de l'influence de la température et de la déformation sur l'effet photovoltaïque ont été également menées. Les résultats globaux obtenus suggèrent fortement la nature hautement sensible et réglable des effets photovoltaïques et ouvrent les perspectives pour augmenter l'efficacité des cellules photovoltaïques et au-delà
Conventional solar cells are ultimately approaching their fundamental limit. Although electrically polar materials provide an alternative solution, understanding their photovoltaic properties, as well as a scarcity of efficient compounds constitute an important challenge. Therefore, this thesis was devoted to finding a model photovoltaic compound and optimization of its performance. As a result, the photovoltaic properties were discovered in the PMN–xPT complex. It was shown a nonlinearity in the photocurrent in the saturated polarization state that also results in optical memory effect. The stress and temperature-dependent studies of the photovoltaicity were performed as well. The overall obtained results strongly suggest the highly tunable nature of photovoltaic effects and open the prospect for additional degrees of freedom to increase ferroelectric-based photovoltaic cells efficiency and beyond

Abstract:
Nanoporous gold is an exciting topic that has been highly researched due to its potential in applications including sensing, catalysts, gas storage, and heat exchangers, made possible by its high surface area to volume ratio and high porosity. However, these applications tend to require a specific morphology, which is often difficult to control. In this work, significant strides have been made in tuning the morphology of nanoporous gold by studying the effect of different fabrication parameters on the ligament diameter, pore diameter, and ligament length, three characteristics which are most discussed in previous studies concerning nanoporous gold. This material also, generally shows a brittle behavior despite it consisting of a normally ductile constituent element, limiting many commercial applications. There have been multiple simulated studies on the tensile mechanical properties and the fracture mode of this material, but limited experimental tensile testing research exists due to technical difficulty of conducting such experiments with small fragile samples. We examine the tensile mechanical behavior of nanoporous gold with ligament sizes ranging from 10 to 30 nm using in situ tensile testing under an environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM). A specially designed tensile stage and sample holders are used to deform the sample inside the ESEM, allowing us to observing both the macro and microscopic structure changes. Our experimental results advance our understandings of how porous structure influence the mechanical properties of nanoporous gold, and they also serve to increase the accuracy of future simulation studies that will take this material a step towards commercial use by providing a thorough understanding of its structural mechanical limitations.

Abstract:
This thesis investigates the effect of adatom deposition, especially alkali and heavy adatoms, on graphene’s electronic and transport properties. While there are many theoretical predictions for tuning graphene’s properties via adatom deposition, only a few of them have been observed. Solving this enigma of inconsistency between theory and experiment raises the need for deeper experimental investigation of this matter. To achieve this goal, an experimental set up was built which enables us to evaporate different metal adatoms on graphene samples while they are at cryogenic temperatures and ultra-high vacuum (UHV) conditions. The critical role of in situ high-temperature annealing in creating reliable interactions between adatoms and graphene is observed. This contradicts the commonly accepted assumption in the transport community that placing a graphene sample in UHV and performing in situ 400-500 K annealing is enough to provide a reliable adatom-graphene interaction. Even charge doping by alkali atoms (Li), which is arguably the simplest of all adatom effects, cannot be achieved completely without in situ 900 K annealing. This observation may explain the difficulty many groups have faced in inducing superconductivity, spin-orbit interaction, or similar electronic modifications to graphene by adatom deposition, and it points toward a straightforward, if experimentally challenging, solution. The first experimental evidence of short-range scattering due to alkali adatoms in graphene is presented in this thesis, a result that contradicts the naive expectation that alkali adatoms on graphene only cause long-range Coulomb scattering. The induced short-range scattering by Li caused decline of intervalley time and length (i.e., enhancement of intervalley scattering). No signatures of theoretically predicted superconductivity of Li doped graphene were observed down to 3 K. Cryogenic deposition of copper increased the dephasing rate of graphene. This increase in dephasing rate is either a sign of inducing spin-orbit interaction or magnetic moments by copper. No similar effect was observed for indium.

A series of monomeric copper complexes that allow for the tuning of the emission properties is reported. Luminescence lifetimes up to 150 [mu]s are observed in benzene solution at ambient temperature, which are comparable to the lifetimes of the longest-lived previously reported copper luminophores. These complexes also exhibit quantum yields up to 0 = 0.70 at 298 K. The results of time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) calculations indicate emission from a triplet state in all cases. The calculations also successfully correlate the energy of the transition from this triplet state to the energy of the observed emission. Such luminescence from a first-row metal is highly unusual, especially when considering the phosphine-based ligand framework used.

Abstract:
Single-walled carbon nanotubes and graphene are tunable for chemical sensors and field effect transistors (FETs). In order to tune the electronic, structural, and optical properties of these nanomaterials, covalent and noncovalent functionalization has been effective. Covalent functionalization of graphene and carbon nanotubes have many advantages but may greatly compromise the organized rc-electron network within their honey-comb lattice structures. On the other hand, noncovalent functionalization affords the opportunity to maintain the sp2-hybridized planar network of carbons with extended % conjugation, which makes it an ideal material for electronics applications, even though significant impact on the electronics of these systems may not be achieved. This work features theoretical investigations of both covalent and noncovalent interactions between chemicals and the surfaces of carbon nanotubes and graphene. Both experimental and theoretical investigations have shown that metallic singlewalled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) have strong interactions with large aromatic molecules, such as pyrene, via tt-ti; stacking. However, pyrene molecules are not effective as dopants of graphene and carbon nanotubes. Polar derivatives of pyrene, however, have been demonstrated to both bind and modulate the properties of graphene. This is a particularly useful tool in biomimetics research. Also, because as-prepared carbon nanotubes are found in 2:1 bundles of metallic to semiconducting tubes, it is crucial that they are separated into tubes of similar type in order to better serve their functions in electronics applications. Experimental studies have shown that pyrene-azo compounds can selectively differentiate between carbon nanotube by (n,m) chirality and type. This project uses first-principles density-functional calculations to investigate mechanisms of interactions between these pyrene compounds and carbon nanomaterials, which will help to further elucidate binding mechanisms. The binding of radical groups such as hydrogen or fluorine to the surface of graphene, leads to covalent bond formation and the subsequent changing of orbital hybridization from trigonal (sp2) to tetragonal (sp3). Such a transformation drastically modifies graphene's electronic properties, which leads to the opening of a band gap through the removal of the bands near the Fermi level of pristine graphene. A similar phenomenon occurs as a result of covalent functionalization of carbon nanotubes, which has many electronics applications. Using first-principles density-functional calculations, we have investigated the structural and electronic properties of fluorinated graphene as well as carbon nanotubes treated with fluorinated olefins in order to better understand their reaction mechanisms and comparisons to previous experimental work are provided.

Abstract:
Energy efficiency is gaining more and more importance, since well-known ecological reasons lead to rising energy costs. In consequence, energy consumption is now also an important economical criterion. Energy consumption of single hardware resources has been thoroughly optimized for years. Now software becomes the major target of energy optimization. In this paper we introduce an approach called energy auto tuning(EAT), which optimizes energy efficiency of software systems running on multiple resources. The optimization of more than one resource leads to higher energy savings, because communication costs can be taken into account. E.g., if two components run on the same resource, the communication costs are likely to be less, compared to be running on different resources. The best results can be achieved in heterogeneous environments as different resource characteristics enlarge the synergy effects gainable by our optimization technique. EAT software systems derive all possible distributions of themselves on a given set of hardware resources and reconfigure themselves to achieve the lowest energy consumption possible at any time. In this paper we describe our software architecture to implement EAT.

Abstract:
The emergence of 2D materials inspires the pursuit of all-2D materials based devices which are predicted to outperform those with conventional architectures and materials. To achieve this goal, thorough understanding of the fundamental electrical and optical properties of 2D materials separately and the ability to manipulate these properties via external modulation methods are essential. Graphene can perform as transparent electrodes, yet suffering from its high sheet resistance. It was demonstrated that it can be greatly reduced via doping iron (III) chloride solution onto graphene film with high optical transmission at visible range if an optimal dopant solution concentration was employed. Doping with nanoscale spatial resolution was then achieved with the help of aberration-corrected transmission electron micro- scope, allowing in-situ observation of the atomic structures of doped regions, which possess unique properties predicted by DFT calculations. Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) can perform as active materials due to their sizeable bandgap. Therefore, the focus of this thesis then shifted to the investigation of WS2 . Three different methods were employed to alter the optical properties of WS2 . Firstly, the photoluminescence (PL) of WS2 presents layer dependent response towards lateral electric field, with PL quenching in monolayer and PL enhancement in bilayer. The results of temperature dependent PL measurement ruled out the joule heating effect. A possible mechanism based on the inter-valley electron transfer induced recombination pathways modification was then proposed.

Abstract:
This chapter addresses the problem of fine-tuning the initial conditions of the previous chapter’s hot Big Bang model, so that the universe has the observed properties, as well as the problem of the origin of large-scale structure. It shows that these problems are related to each other, and can be solved by assuming a period of accelerated expansion in the earliest history of the universe. Since the 1980s, the general acceptance of this idea of a primordial inflationary phase can be considered as the third phase in the history of the development of relativistic cosmology. The chapter first outlines the issues with the hot Big Bang model: the flatness problem; the Big Bang horizon, and monopole problems; and the problem of the origin of the large-scale structure. It then provides a solution in the form of inflation, and goes on to discuss ‘chaotic’ inflation.

Abstract:
Elements of Induction Heating: Design, Control, and Applications discusses the principles of electromagnetic induction and the setup and use of induction heating processes and equipment. The first few chapters cover the theory of induction heating and the factors that must be considered when selecting and configuring components for a given application. As the text explains, the frequency required for efficient heating is determined by the geometry of the coil, the properties, size, and shape of the workpiece, and the need to maintain adequate skin effect. It also depends on proper tuning and load matching, which is explained as well. Subsequent chapters discuss the use of external cooling, temperature sensing, and power-timing devices, the fundamentals of process control, the role of flux concentrators, shields, and susceptors, and the integration of material handling equipment. The book also covers coil design and fabrication and explains how induction heating systems can be tailored for specific applications such as billet and bar heating, surface hardening, pipe welding, tin reflow, powder metal sintering, and brazing, and for curing adhesives and coatings.

Abstract:
Introduced as a quantum extension of Maxwell's classical theory, quantum electrodynamic (QED) has been the first example of a quantum field theory (QFT). Eventually, QFT has become the framework for the discussion of all fundamental interactions at the microscopic scale except, possibly, gravity. More surprisingly, it has also provided a framework for the understanding of second order phase transitions in statistical mechanics. In fact, as hopefully this work illustrates, QFT is the natural framework for the discussion of most systems involving an infinite number of degrees of freedom with local couplings. These systems range from cold Bose gases at the condensation temperature (about ten nanokelvin) to conventional phase transitions (from a few degrees to several hundred) and high energy particle physics up to a TeV, altogether more than twenty orders of magnitude in the energy scale. Therefore, although excellent textbooks about QFT had already been published, I thought, many years ago, that it might not be completely worthless to present a work in which the strong formal relations between particle physics and the theory of critical phenomena are systematically emphasized. This option explains some of the choices made in the presentation. A formulation in terms of field integrals has been adopted to study the properties of QFT. The language of partition and correlation functions has been used throughout, even in applications of QFT to particle physics. Renormalization and renormalization group (RG) properties are systematically discussed. The notion of effective field theory (EFT) and the emergence of renormalizable theories are described. The consequences for fine-tuning and triviality issue are emphasized. This fifth edition has been updated and fully revised.

Abstract:
Non-verbal numerical competence, such as the estimation of set size, is rooted in biological primitives that can also be explored in animals. Over the past years, the anatomical substrates and neuronal mechanisms of numerical cognition in primates have been unravelled down to the level of single neurons. Studies with behaviourally-trained monkeys have identified a parietofrontal network of individual neurons selectively tuned to the number of items (cardinal aspect) or the rank of items in a sequence (ordinal aspect). The properties of these neurons’ numerosity tuning curves can explain fundamental psychophysical phenomena, such as the numerical distance and size effect. Functionally overlapping groups of parietal neurons represent not only numerable-discrete quantity (numerosity), but also innumerable-continuous quantity (extent) and relations between quantities (proportions), supporting the idea of a generalized magnitude system in the brain. Moreover, many neurons in the prefrontal cortex establish semantic associations between signs and abstract numerical categories, a neuronal precursor mechanisms that may ultimately give rise to symbolic number processing in humans. These studies establish putative homologies between the monkey and human brain, and demonstrate the suitability of non-human primates as model system to explore the neurobiological roots of the brain’s non-verbal quantification system, which may constitute the phylogenetic and ontogenetic foundation of all further, more elaborate numerical skills in humans.

Abstract:
AbstractFunctional languages allow rewrite-rule systems that aggressively generate a multitude of semantically-equivalent but differently-optimized code versions. In the context of GPGPU execution, this paper addresses the important question of how to compose these code versions into a single program that (near-)optimally discriminates them across different datasets. Rather than aiming at a general autotuning framework reliant on stochastic search, we argue that in some cases, a more effective solution can be obtained by customizing the tuning strategy for the compiler transformation producing the code versions.We present a simple and highly-composable strategy which requires that the (dynamic) program property used to discriminate between code versions conforms with a certain monotonicity assumption. Assuming the monotonicity assumption holds, our strategy guarantees that if an optimal solution exists it will be found. If an optimal solution doesn’t exist, our strategy produces human tractable and deterministic results that provide insights into what went wrong and how it can be fixed.We apply our tuning strategy to the incremental-flattening transformation supported by the publicly-available Futhark compiler and compare with a previous black-box tuning solution that uses the popular OpenTuner library. We demonstrate the feasibility of our solution on a set of standard datasets of real-world applications and public benchmark suites, such as Rodinia and FinPar. We show that our approach shortens the tuning time by a factor of $$6\times $$ 6 × on average, and more importantly, in five out of eleven cases, it produces programs that are (as high as $$10\times $$ 10 × ) faster than the ones produced by the OpenTuner-based technique.

Abstract:
Sound sources are designed to provide subsea tracking and re‐location of RAFOS floats and other Lagrangian drifters listening at 260Hz. More recently sweeps have been added to support FishChip tracking at 262Hz. These sources must be tuned to the water properties where they are to be deployed as they have a fairly narrow bandwidth. The high‐Q resonator’s bandwidth is about 4Hz. This report documents the tuning, and provides an overview of the sound source assembly.

Wright, Kirsten. Collecting Plant Phenology Data In Imperiled Oregon White Oak Ecosystems: Analysis and Recommendations for Metro. Portland State University, March 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.15760/mem.64.

Full text
Abstract:
Highly imperiled Oregon white oak ecosystems are a regional conservation priority of numerous organizations, including Oregon Metro, a regional government serving over one million people in the Portland area. Previously dominant systems in the Pacific Northwest, upland prairie and oak woodlands are now experiencing significant threat, with only 2% remaining in the Willamette Valley in small fragments (Hulse et al. 2002). These fragments are of high conservation value because of the rich biodiversity they support, including rare and endemic species, such as Delphinium leucophaeum (Oregon Department of Agriculture, 2020). Since 2010, Metro scientists and volunteers have collected phenology data on approximately 140 species of forbs and graminoids in regional oak prairie and woodlands. Phenology is the study of life-stage events in plants and animals, such as budbreak and senescence in flowering plants, and widely acknowledged as a sensitive indicator of environmental change (Parmesan 2007). Indeed, shifts in plant phenology have been observed over the last few decades as a result of climate change (Parmesan 2006). In oak systems, these changes have profound implications for plant community composition and diversity, as well as trophic interactions and general ecosystem function (Willis 2008). While the original intent of Metro’s phenology data-collection was to track long-term phenology trends, limitations in data collection methods have made such analysis difficult. Rather, these data are currently used to inform seasonal management decisions on Metro properties, such as when to collect seed for propagation and when to spray herbicide to control invasive species. Metro is now interested in fine-tuning their data-collection methods to better capture long-term phenology trends to guide future conservation strategies. Addressing the regional and global conservation issues of our time will require unprecedented collaboration. Phenology data collected on Metro properties is not only an important asset for Metro’s conservation plan, but holds potential to support broader research on a larger scale. As a leader in urban conservation, Metro is poised to make a meaningful scientific contribution by sharing phenology data with regional and national organizations. Data-sharing will benefit the common goal of conservation and create avenues for collaboration with other scientists and conservation practitioners (Rosemartin 2013). In order to support Metro’s ongoing conservation efforts in Oregon white oak systems, I have implemented a three-part master’s project. Part one of the project examines Metro’s previously collected phenology data, providing descriptive statistics and assessing the strengths and weaknesses of the methods by which the data were collected. Part two makes recommendations for improving future phenology data-collection methods, and includes recommendations for datasharing with regional and national organizations. Part three is a collection of scientific vouchers documenting key plant species in varying phases of phenology for Metro’s teaching herbarium. The purpose of these vouchers is to provide a visual tool for Metro staff and volunteers who rely on plant identification to carry out aspects of their job in plant conservation. Each component of this project addresses specific aspects of Metro’s conservation program, from day-to-day management concerns to long-term scientific inquiry.
