A High Repetition Rate Time-Of-Flight Electron Energy Analyzer, Shawn A. Hilbert, Brett E. Barwick, M. Fabrikant, Cornelis J. Uiterwaal, Herman Batelaan Oct 2007

A High Repetition Rate Time-Of-Flight Electron Energy Analyzer, Shawn A. Hilbert, Brett E. Barwick, M. Fabrikant, Cornelis J. Uiterwaal, Herman Batelaan

C.J.G.J. Uiterwaal Publications

We demonstrate a time-of-flight electron energy analyzer that operates at an 80 MHz repetition rate. The analyzer yields an energy resolution of 40 meV for 3 eV electrons. The energy resolution limit is dominated by the detector time (or temporal) resolution. With a currently available detector with a temporal resolution of 100 ps, we predict an energy resolution of less than 1 meV for 200 meV electrons. This makes high repetition rate time-of-flight energy analyzers a promising low-technology alternative to current state-of-the-art techniques.

"Questions About Stuff You Don't Normally See On A Map:" A Study Of Sixth-Graders' Abilities To Understand Quantitative Thematic Maps, Stephanie Lynn Gaspers Oct 2007

"Questions About Stuff You Don't Normally See On A Map:" A Study Of Sixth-Graders' Abilities To Understand Quantitative Thematic Maps, Stephanie Lynn Gaspers

Dissertations and Theses

Middle school students work with many types of maps in school, however most maps they use are qualitative thematic maps that only show differences in kind as compared to quantitative thematic maps that show differences in amounts. This thesis investigates sixth-grade students' abilities to analyze three types of thematic maps: dot maps, choropleth maps, and graduated circle maps. Two hundred and two Oregon sixth-graders were tested on their abilities to interpret map symbology, make inferences from the data, categorize values into regions, and ask geographic questions concerning data distributions. The results indicate that students can understand these three quantitative thematic …


Error Sensor Placement For Active Control Of An Axial Cooling Fan, Benjamin M. Shafer Oct 2007

Error Sensor Placement For Active Control Of An Axial Cooling Fan, Benjamin M. Shafer

Theses and Dissertations

Recent experimental achievements in active noise control (ANC) for cooling fans have used near-field error sensors whose locations are determined according to a theoretical condition of minimized sound power. A theoretical point source model, based on the condition previously stated, reveals the location of near-field pressure nulls that may be used to optimize error sensor placement. The actual locations of these near-field pressure nulls for both an axial cooling fan and a monopole loudspeaker were measured over a two-dimensional grid with a linear array of microphones. The achieved global attenuation for each case is measured over a hemisphere located in …


Microimprinting And Ferroelectric Properties Of Poly(Vinylidene Fluoride-Trifluoroethylene) Copolymer Films, Lei Zhang, Stephen Ducharme, Jiangyu Li Oct 2007

Microimprinting And Ferroelectric Properties Of Poly(Vinylidene Fluoride-Trifluoroethylene) Copolymer Films, Lei Zhang, Stephen Ducharme, Jiangyu Li

Stephen Ducharme Publications

Poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) [P(VDF-TrFE)] copolymer films have been patterned by microimprinting with excellent quality of pattern transferring. Ferroelectricity of the imprinted films has been confirmed by ferroelectric hysteresis and surface potential measurement, and very good correlation is observed between remnant polarization and surface potential of the imprinted films. Imprinted P(VDF-TrFE) films show high remnant polarization and high poling-induced surface potential when the imprinting temperature is around 140 °C, suggesting that 140 °C is the optimal imprinting temperature for P(VDF-TrFE) films. The patterned ferroelectric P(VDF-TrFE) films can be used for a wide range of applications.

Faculty Publications

We carry out two searches for periodic gravitational waves using the most sensitive few hours of data from the second LIGO science run. Both searches exploit fully coherent matched filtering and cover wide areas of parameter space, an innovation over previous analyses which requires considerable algorithm development and computational power. The first search is targeted at isolated, previously unknown neutron stars, covers the entire sky in the frequency band 160-728.8 Hz, and assumes a frequency derivative of less than 4×10-10Hz/s. The second search targets the accreting neutron star in the low-mass x-ray binary Scorpius X-1 and covers the frequency bands …


The Impossibility Of A Prescriptive Paretian, Robert C. Hockett Oct 2007

The Impossibility Of A Prescriptive Paretian, Robert C. Hockett

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

Most normatively oriented economists appear to be “welfarist” and Paretian to one degree or another: They deem responsiveness to individual preferences, and satisfaction of one or more of the Pareto criteria, to be a desirable attribute of any social welfare function. I show that no strictly “welfarist” or Paretian social welfare function can be normatively prescriptive. Economists who prescribe must embrace at least one value apart from or additional to “welfarism” and Paretianism, and in fact will do best to dispense with Pareto entirely.

Electro-Thermal Transport In Nanotube Based Composites For Macroelectronic Applications, Satish Kumar Oct 2007

Electro-Thermal Transport In Nanotube Based Composites For Macroelectronic Applications, Satish Kumar

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Masters Theses

Dispersions of particles of different shapes and sizes in fluids or solids modify the transport properties of the underlying matrix. A remarkable enhancement in the electrical, thermal and other transport properties of the matrix due to the long aspect ratio dispersions like nanotube/nanowires has been observed my many research groups. This has motivated tremendous research to explore these composites for various macro-electronic and micro-electronic applications in the last decade. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) network based thin-film transistors (TFTs) promise improved performance for flexible plastic electronics with potential applications in displays, e-paper, e-clothing, bio-chemical sensing, conformal radar, and others. A detailed theoretical …


Fept Nanodot Arrays With Perpendicular Easy Axis, Large Coercivity, And Extremely High Density, Chaehyun Kim, Thomas Loedding, Seongjin Jang, Hao Zeng, Zhen Li, Yucheng Sui, David J. Sellmyer Oct 2007

Fept Nanodot Arrays With Perpendicular Easy Axis, Large Coercivity, And Extremely High Density, Chaehyun Kim, Thomas Loedding, Seongjin Jang, Hao Zeng, Zhen Li, Yucheng Sui, David J. Sellmyer

David Sellmyer Publications

Ordered FePt nanodot arrays with extremely high density have been developed by physical vapor deposition using porous alumina templates as evaporation masks. Nanodot diameter of 18 nm and periodicity of 25 nm have been achieved, resulting in an areal density exceeding 1 x1012 dots/in2. Rapid thermal annealing converts the disordered fcc to L10 phase, resulting in (001)-oriented FePt nanodot arrays with perpendicular anisotropy and large coercivity, without the need of epitaxy. High anisotropy and coercivity, perpendicular easy axis orientation and extremely high density are desirable features for future magnetic data storage media applications.


Nonparametric And Semiparametric Group Sequential Methods For Comparing Accuracy Of Diagnostic Tests, Liansheng Tang, Scott S. Emerson, Xiao-Hua Zhou Oct 2007

Nonparametric And Semiparametric Group Sequential Methods For Comparing Accuracy Of Diagnostic Tests, Liansheng Tang, Scott S. Emerson, Xiao-Hua Zhou

UW Biostatistics Working Paper Series

Comparison of the accuracy of two diagnostic tests using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves from two diagnostic tests has been typically conducted using fixed sample designs. On the other hand, the human experimentation inherent in a comparison of diagnostic modalities argues for periodic monitoring of the accruing data to address many issues related to the ethics and efficiency of the medical study. To date, very little research has been done in the use of sequential sampling plans for comparative ROC studies, even when these studies may use expensive and unsafe diagnostic procedures. In this paper, we propose a nonparametric …
