Optical Investigation Of A Low-Pressure Plasma In A Superconducting Radio-Frequency Cavity, Zachary A. Caudell Oct 2024

Optical Investigation Of A Low-Pressure Plasma In A Superconducting Radio-Frequency Cavity, Zachary A. Caudell

Electrical & Computer Engineering Theses & Dissertations

The state-of-the-art cryomodules for particle accelerators use superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) cavities. It is known that accumulation of hydrocarbon impurities reduces the cavity surface work function, decreasing cryomodule performance metrics such as field emission, thermal stability, and accelerating gradients. An in-situ method of plasma processing has recently been developed to clean the cavities and restore cryomodule performance [1]. This study is to understand the properties of the low-pressure plasmas generated in a C100 SRF cavity and ultimately to improve the performance of plasma surface cleaning using optical emission spectroscopy. Using a 500 mm focal length Czerny-Turner monochromator coupled with a photomultiplier …


Bht-Qaoa: The Generalization Of Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm To Solve Arbitrary Boolean Problems As Hamiltonians, Ali Al-Bayaty, Marek Perkowski Oct 2024

Bht-Qaoa: The Generalization Of Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm To Solve Arbitrary Boolean Problems As Hamiltonians, Ali Al-Bayaty, Marek Perkowski

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Publications and Presentations

A new methodology is introduced to solve classical Boolean problems as Hamiltonians, using the quantum approximate optimization algorithm (QAOA). This methodology is termed the “Boolean-Hamiltonians Transform for QAOA” (BHT-QAOA). Because a great deal of research and studies are mainly focused on solving combinatorial optimization problems using QAOA, the BHTQAOA adds an additional capability to QAOA to find all optimized approximated solutions for Boolean problems, by transforming such problems from Boolean oracles (in different structures) into Phase oracles, and then into the Hamiltonians of QAOA. From such a transformation, we noticed that the total utilized numbers of qubits and quantum gates …

The material is prepared using a flocking process in which its components are electrostatically deposited on top of an adhesive substrate. Distinct material properties of the substrate and materials layers require characterization done with two separated layers. The microwave absorption characteristics are studied first by rectangular waveguide measurements at X and Ku bands that yield complex electric permittivity and magnetic …


Sex Differences In Active Avoidance And Neural Circuit Mechanisms In Contextual Fear Generalization, Carly Vincent Oct 2024

Sex Differences In Active Avoidance And Neural Circuit Mechanisms In Contextual Fear Generalization, Carly Vincent

Theses and Dissertations

The current studies were aimed to investigate two behavioral hallmarks of anxiety and stress-related disorders, avoidance responses and the over-generalization of fear. In the first set of studies, active avoidance and extinction learning, that parallels exposure therapy in preclinical rodent models, were used. It is known that stress can influence aversive learning and extinction training, which can result in poor extinction retention. However, it is not well understood how the stress response is facilitating extinction resistance in active avoidance learning across sexes. Therefore, the first set of studies aimed to investigate the role of biological sex and glucocorticoid receptor (GR) …

Journal of Electrochemistry

Designing highly efficient Pt-free electrocatalysts with low overpotential for an alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) remains a significant challenge. Here, a novel and efficient cobalt (Co), ruthenium (Ru) bimetallic electrocatalyst composed of CoRu nanoalloy decorated on the N-doped carbon nanotubes (CoRu@N-CNTs), was prepared by reacting fullerenol with melamine via hydrothermal treatment and followed by pyrolysis. Benefiting from the electronic communication between Co and Ru sites, the as-obtained CoRu@N-CNTs catalyst exhibited superior electrocatalytic HER activity. To deliver a current density of 10 mA·cm–2, it required an overpotential of merely 19 mV along with a Tafel slope of 26.19 mV·dec …

Research outputs 2022 to 2026

The increasing penetration of distributed photovoltaics decreases the available loads in distribution feeders. This makes the traditional under-frequency load shedding systems ineffective. As an alternative, large-scale energy storage systems (ESS) could be used to provide contingency frequency response. This study investigates the optimum sizing of the ESS to prevent under-frequency load shedding. The optimal size is determined for both droop and virtual synchronous generator control-based inverters, to maintain frequency within operating standards. The control parameters are treated as variables in the optimisation process, allowing the identification of the optimal set of control parameters that minimise the ESS size while preventing …

A Simulated Annealing Approach To The Scheduling Of Battery-Electric Bus Charging, Alexander Brown, Greg Droge

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Publications

With an increasing adoption of battery-electric bus (BEB) fleets, developing a reliable charging schedule is vital to a successful migration from their fossil fuel counterparts. In this paper, a simulated annealing (SA) implementation is developed for a charge scheduling framework for a fixed-schedule fleet of BEBs that utilizes a proportional battery dynamics model, accounts for multiple charger types, allows partial charging, and further considers the total energy consumed by the schedule as well as peak power use. Two generation mechanisms are implemented for the SA algorithm, denoted as the "quick" and "heuristic" implementations, respectively. The model validity is demonstrated by …


High-Frequency-Based Transmission Line Percentage Differential Protection With Traveling Wave Alignment, Igor F. Prado, Flavio Costa, Kleber M. Silva, Rodrigo P. Medeiros, Bruce A. Mork Sep 2024

High-Frequency-Based Transmission Line Percentage Differential Protection With Traveling Wave Alignment, Igor F. Prado, Flavio Costa, Kleber M. Silva, Rodrigo P. Medeiros, Bruce A. Mork

Michigan Tech Publications

This paper presents a wavelet-based differential protection algorithm for transmission lines. It uses restraint and operating components obtained with high-frequency components of a few kHz from instantaneous energy values of the real-time boundary stationary wavelet transform instead of low-frequency components from phasor estimation. It does not require capacitive current suppression as well. Therefore, the proposed method overcomes the limitations of conventional percentage differential protection. Furthermore, the proposed technique uses traveling wave theory to perform the current sample alignment at a few kHz, thereby, not requiring the global positioning system (GPS). The performance of the proposed method is evaluated through extensive …
