Intergranular Phases In Cyclically Annealed Yba2cu3o7-X And Their Implications For Critical Current Densities, Andrew Peter Clarke

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

We report changes in the intergranular material and grain morphology of YBa₂Cu₃O_7-x during cyclic anneals between 780 and 980 ºC in oxygen at atmospheric pressure. Two endothermic reactions were detected: (a) the eutectic reaction of YBa₂Cu₃O_7-x with CuO and BaCuO₂ at 900 ºC (enthalpy ∆H_a) and (b) the peritectic reaction of YBa₂Cu₃O_7-x with CuO at 950 ºC (∆H_b). During the first anneal, only reaction (b) is detected, and although it should only occur if there is an excess of CuO, …

Algorithm Development Of The Aglite-Lidar Instrument, Christian Marchant

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Particulate emissions from agricultural operations are increasingly receiving attention from regulatory bodies as a potential source of air pollution. The Space Dynamics Laboratory (SDL) has developed the Aglite system, a suite of instruments including a lidar that is capable of measuring particulate emission levels from agricultural facilities. This system provides a novel method of measuring particulate mass (PM) pollution, allowing measurements to be taken of diverse types of facilities with high temporal and spatial resolution. This high resolution allows for the measurement of emission levels generated by specific activities, fostering the development and determination of best management practices.
