The purpose of this thesis is to contribute to the understanding of SrS-based alternating-current thin-film electroluminescent (ACTFEL) device operation. Three main accomplishments serving this purpose are presented in this thesis. First, two new methods are developed for estimation of insulator capacitance in ACTFEL devices possessing a large amount of dynamic...
The impetus for this Project began in 1968-1973 with birders at the Marine Science Center (MSC). But in the past 10 or so years the focus has shifted to a county group, Yaquina Birders & Naturalists. 120 individuals or couples have each contributed 100 or more records with 51% of...
The accomplishments presented in this thesis are the development of three models
for simulation of space charge generation in the phosphor layer of alternating current
thin-film electroluminescent (ACTFEL) devices and the results from simulation
of these models. First, a single sheet charge model is developed and simulated.
The single sheet...
The goal of this thesis is the identification and synthesis of high-luminance,
primary color alternating-current thin-film electroluminescent (ACTFEL) devices.
Special attention is paid to the synthesis of primary color green ACTFEL devices because
of the lack of an adequate primary green ACTFEL phosphor and the dominance
of green wavelengths in...
As ocean ecosystems continue to deteriorate in the face of human induced pressures, marine management professionals are increasingly being urged to predict the impacts of various activities on ocean ecosystems. Many ecosystem interactions are still not adequately understood, so managers often turn to scientists to provide data and analysis on...
