  • Growth and characterization of zinc ferrite thin films for high frequency applications

    Creator:
    Hu, Jiqing
    Abstract:
    Ferrites have been used for various high frequency applications as bulk materials. These applications, however, are limited to large dimension devices. In this thesis, thin film ferrites were deposited from a low temperature solution-based deposition process that is suitable for micro-scale high frequency applications. The low temperature nature of this...

  • Transparent electronics : thin-film transistors and integrated circuits

    Creator:
    Presley, Rick E.
    Abstract:
    This thesis focuses on two aspects of transparent electronics, SnO₂ transparent thin-film transistors (TTFTs) and transparent circuits. Both depletion- and enhancement-mode SnO₂ TTFTs are realized. The maximum effective mobility for the depletion- and enhancement-mode devices are 2 cm²V⁻¹s⁻¹ and 0.8 cm²V⁻¹s⁻¹, respectively. A variety of techniques to decrease the carrier...

  • Influence of adjustable speed drive on induction motor fault detection using stator current monitoring.

    Creator:
    Al-Shahrani, Ali
    Abstract:
    The detection of motor faults at their incipient stage is of prime importance to any industrial plant. The introduction of adjustable speed drives has improved the control and the efficiency of induction motors, however, this has changed the nature of motor faults and how they can be detected. Current signature...

  • Multi-dimensional parametric estimation: two-dimensional sharpening by predictive bandwidth extrapolation and fast algorithms for three dimensional autoregressive estimation

    Creator:
    Liew, Ji Seok
    Abstract:
    Achieving sharpened (enhanced detail) features of a multi-dimensional data source using the linear prediction (LP) bandwidth extrapolation (BWE) technique in the transform domain is the main objective of this research. The evolution of sensor technology has provided acquisition scenarios in which the data format is inherently multi-dimensional, including hyperspectral imaging...
