Dpd Guided Insight On The Formation Process Of Polyethersulfone Membranes By Nonsolvent Induced Phase Separation And The Effects Of Additives, Eric Ledieu
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Dissipative particle dynamics (DPD), a coarse grain simulation method, was applied to the membrane formation process of non-solvent induced phase separation (NIPS) to gain further insight on the mechanism of certain variables and how they affect the final morphology. NIPS involves two solutions, an organic polymer dissolved in an organic solvent colloquially called the dope and an aqueous coagulation bath, brought into contact with one another. The solvents then mix, causing the polymer to fall out of solution as an asymmetric membrane with a dense surface layer and a more open subsurface layer in response to the decreasing solubility. Polyethersulfone …
Optical Properties Of Ultrathin In(Ga)As/Gaas And In(Ga)N/Gan Quantum Wells, Yurii Maidaniuk
Optical Properties Of Ultrathin In(Ga)As/Gaas And In(Ga)N/Gan Quantum Wells, Yurii Maidaniuk
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Recently, structures based on ultrathin quantum wells (QWs) began to play a critical role in modern devices, such as lasers, solar cells, infrared photodetectors, and light-emitting diodes. However, due to the lack of understanding of the formation mechanism of ultrathin QWs during the capping process, scientists and engineers cannot fully explore the potential of such structures. This study aims to investigate how structural parameters of ultrathin QWs affect their emission properties by conducting a systematic analysis of the optical properties of In(Ga)As/GaAs and In(Ga)N/GaN ultrathin QWs. Specifically, the analysis involved photoluminescence measurements combined with effective bandgap simulation, x-ray diffraction, and …
Gain Of A Single Gas Electron Multiplier, Mythra Varun Nemallapudi
Gain Of A Single Gas Electron Multiplier, Mythra Varun Nemallapudi
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) is a gaseous detector used in particle detection and is
known for its high rate capability. Ever since its invention in 1997, GEM was applied in
many areas and recently has been proposed to be installed in the CMS high η regions for
upgrade at LHC, CERN. A complete understanding of the working and gain behaviour does
not exist. GEM gain is influenced by charging up and this has been variedly interpreted
in literature lacking consensus. I have attempted in this work through simulations and
measurements to achieve a better understanding of single GEM gain and …
