Increasing The Longevity Of Tungsten Filaments In A Zone Refiner, Byron D. Greenlee
Increasing The Longevity Of Tungsten Filaments In A Zone Refiner, Byron D. Greenlee
Senior Theses
Zone refining is used for its ability to purify material and grow single crystals. To produce these single crystals, a suspended molten zone, generated by electron bombardment, passes along the polycrystalline stock. During a zone refining run, the filaments that produce the electron bombardment can fail. In this project, the longevity of tungsten filaments in a zone refiner was investigated. A new bombardment geometry was constructed to attempt to increase the longevity of the filaments. The new geometry had a shield machined into it to prevent line-of-sight impurities originating in the molten zone from striking the filaments. It was found …

Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) is used to investigate the triplet (S = 1) ground state of the neutral oxygen vacancy in bulk rutile TiO2 crystals. This shallow donor consists of an oxygen vacancy with two nearest-neighbor, exchange-coupled 3+ ions located along the [001] direction and equidistant from the vacancy. The spins of the two trapped electrons, one at each 3+ ion, align parallel to give the S = 1 state. These neutral oxygen vacancies are formed near 25 K in as-grown oxidized TiO2 crystals by illuminating with sub-band-gap 442 nm laser light. The angular dependence of the EPR …
A Long-Channel Model For The Asymmetric Double-Gate Mosfet Valid In All Regions Of Operation, Abhishek Kammula, Bradley Minch
A Long-Channel Model For The Asymmetric Double-Gate Mosfet Valid In All Regions Of Operation, Abhishek Kammula, Bradley Minch
Bradley Minch
We present a physically based, continuous analytical model for long-channel double-gate MOSFETs. The model is particularly well suited for implementation in circuit simulators due to the simple expressions for the current andthe continuous nature of the derivatives of the current which improves convergence behavior.

Theses and Dissertations
Mitigation approaches for single surface multipactor at dielectric windows are investigated using Particle-In-Cell (PIC) simulations. Initially baseline susceptibility diagrams are constructed analytically and compared with self-consistent, dynamic system trajectories. The power deposited on the surface of a dielectric window in an HPM system is considered using three different methods and the results of PIC simulations. Geometric mitigation is then considered by varying the window orientation with respect to the HPM electric held. Small angular deviations, less than 20 degrees, from the nominal case of normal incidence show dramatic changes in the susceptibility diagram. A materials approach to mitigation is then …
