Effect Of Cu(In,Ga)₃Se₅ Ultra-Thin Layer On Optical Properties And Photovoltaic Efficiency Of Cu(In,Ga)Se₂ Thin Film Solar Cells, Boonyaluk Namnuan

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Cu(In,Ga)3Se5 (135-CIGS) layers with various thicknesses were deposited on the surface of ~1.8 micron thick Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (112-CIGS) photon absorber in the fabrication of CIGS thin film solar cells. This significantly affects the shift of the optical band gap energy from 1.15 eV (112-CIGS) to 1.19 eV, with only 10 nm thick of 135-CIGS capping layer, leading to the increase in the open-circuit voltage (Voc) of the solar cells. The optical transmission spectra show no sign of separated 135-CIGS layer. The maximum Voc of 670 mV is obtained from 5-10 nm thick 135-CIGS capping layer on 112-CIGS compared to 646 mV …

Application Of Adversarial Networks In Search For Four Top Quark Production In Cms, Vichayanun Wachirapusitanand Jan 2018

Application Of Adversarial Networks In Search For Four Top Quark Production In Cms, Vichayanun Wachirapusitanand

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

One burden of high energy physics data analysis is uncertainty within the measurement, both systematically and statistically. Even with sophisticated neural network techniques that are used to assist in high energy physics measurements, the resulting measurement may suffer from both types of uncertainties. Fortunately, most types of systematic uncertainties are based on knowledge from information such as theoretical assumptions, for which the range and behaviour are known. It has been proposed to mitigate such systematic uncertainties by using a new type of neural network called adversarial neural network (ANN) that would make the discriminator less sensitive to these uncertainties, but …

Effects Of Organic Molecule Orientations On Perovskite Structure Of Formamidinium Lead Iodide, Wiwittawin Sukmas

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Latterly, an emergence of the hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites has captivated an increasing rate of world-wide attention due to their approving physical properties. Formamidinium lead iodide (FAPI), a promising compound owing to its high photovoltaic performance, consists of an organic molecule, i.e. the formamidinium (FA) cation, dwelling in the centre of the cubic unit cell, caged by the inorganic framework, PbI6. By adopting the ab initio method based on the density functional theory including the spin-orbit coupling (SOC) effects, the effects of the FA cation on the cubic FAPI were thoroughly and systematically investigated. Solidly armed with Euler's rotations, energy landscapes …

Effects Of Aldosterone On Striatin And Caveolin-1 Protein Levels In Rat Kidney: Role Of Mineralocorticoid Receptor, Kevalin Inthachart Jan 2018

Effects Of Aldosterone On Striatin And Caveolin-1 Protein Levels In Rat Kidney: Role Of Mineralocorticoid Receptor, Kevalin Inthachart

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

The mineralocorticoid hormone aldosterone is a steroid hormone which plays an important role in maintenance of sodium, potassium, and acid-base balance. Aldosterone actions are mediated by mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) that could operate via genomic or nongenomic pathways. It has been shown that MR forms a complex with several molecules including scaffolding proteins, such as striatin and caveolin-1 (cav-1). Previous in vitro studies demonstrated that aldosterone increased striatin and cav-1 protein abundance. In addition, both striatin and cav-1 could interact with MR. However, there is no in vivo study of aldosterone effects on striatin and cav-1 protein levels in rat kidney. …

Effect Of Local Rewiring In Adaptive Epidemic Erdos-Renyi Random Networks, Suwakan Piankoranee Jan 2018

Effect Of Local Rewiring In Adaptive Epidemic Erdos-Renyi Random Networks, Suwakan Piankoranee

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Adaptive epidemic network is driven by two main processes, (1) infectionrecovery process that changes the states of the nodes, and (2) rewiring process that modifies the topology of the network. In the past two decades, epidemic models on adaptive networks have gained interests because understanding the dynamics between these two processes can be key to improving control of diseases. However, in most of these models, the rewiring mechanism is based on information known globally, i.e., everyone knows the health status of all others in the network. This concept is not practical in real life for large network. This dissertation aims …

Novel (Cu-Sn) And (Ni-Sn) Catalysts Prepared By Mechanical Alloying, Sakollapath Pithakratanayothin Jan 2018

Novel (Cu-Sn) And (Ni-Sn) Catalysts Prepared By Mechanical Alloying, Sakollapath Pithakratanayothin

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

This research was aimed to synthesize intermetallic catalysts using mechanical alloying (Ma) technique. Copper (Cu) and nickel (Ni) were chosen to study since not only their properties are closed to the noble metal properties, e.g. platinum and palladium, but also they are not expensive. However, as also found in noble metals, both Cu and Ni metals are oxidized easily in air. To overcome this problem, either Cu or Ni was mixed with tin (Sn) to obtain bimetallics, viz. CuSn or NiSn, respectively. Therefore, this research was focused on finding the optimal conditions to synthesize both CuSn and NiSn bimetallics using …

Light Responsive With Metallo-, And Hydrogen Bonded Benzoxazine Dimer-Based Supramolecular Structure, Sorapat Niyomsin Jan 2018

Light Responsive With Metallo-, And Hydrogen Bonded Benzoxazine Dimer-Based Supramolecular Structure, Sorapat Niyomsin

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

The present work focuses on multi-responsive molecule based on supramolecular chemistry of benzoxazine dimer as a benzoxazine supramolecular crosslinker, fluorescent labelling benzoxazine conjugated with rotaxane system and benzoxazine pendant group block copolymer. The use of azobenzene derivatives in benzoxazine synthesis provides light responsive behaviour. The remained hydroxyl group from aminoalcohol allows benzoxazine to conjugate with desired functional group. The dihydroxyl benzoxazine acts as molecular crosslinker for poly(acrylic acid) by conjugation. The ring-opening reaction brings benzoxazine dimeric unit on the crosslinker which also showed metal ion complexation. The complexation strengthens the cross-linked polymer network. The complex can reversely form by treating …
