  • Microwave scattering from surf zone waves

    Creator:
    Catalán Mondaca, Patricio A.
    Abstract:
    Wave breaking in the surf zone is an important forcing mechanism on the generation of nearshore currents and in the driving of sediment transport. At the same time, wave breaking can have significant spatial and temporal variability that needs to be accounted for in the description of nearshore processes. Remote...

  • Analysis and modeling of monolithic on-chip transformers on silicon substrates

    Creator:
    Mayevskiy, Yevgeniy
    Abstract:
    Passive components, including spiral inductors and transformers, fabricated on silicon-based substrates are placing an increasing demand on radio-frequency integrated circuit (RFIC) design. Performance of the RFIC suffers from several non-ideal effects that must be taken into account in order to create a successful design. In particular, monolithic transformers can be...

  • Radiation effects on III-V heterostructure devices

    Creator:
    Jun, Bongim
    Abstract:
    The neutron and electron radiation effects in Ill-V compound semiconductor heterostructure devices are studied in this thesis. Three types of devices investigated are AlGaAs/GaAs high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs), AlGaAs/InGaAs/GaAs heterostructure insulated gate field effect transistors (HIGFETs), and InP/InCaAs/InGaAs single heterojunction bipolar transistors (SHBTs). HEMTs and HIGFETs are primarily investigated...

  • Axial development of two-phase flow parameters in a vertical column

    Creator:
    Abel, Kent C.
    Abstract:
    The next generation of nuclear safety analysis computer codes will include detailed modeling of the interfacial area concentration. The interfacial area concentration is the essence of the two-fluid model. It is the most accurate of the two-phase models since it considers each phase independently and links the two phases together...

  • Development of high efficiency solar absorbers

    Creator:
    Ravichandran, Ram
    Abstract:
    Current cadmium telluride and copper indium gallium diselenide thin-film solar cells (TFSCs) utilize thick absorbers (2 - 4 μm). For efficient carrier extraction in these TFSCs, the absorber layer requires high carrier mobilities and a long minority carrier lifetime, which necessitates the use of a high purity, defect-free thin film....

  • Processing of laser interferometric signals for small displacement measurements

    Creator:
    Peng, Gwo-sheng
    Abstract:
    Algorithms for analyzing laser interferometry signals were developed and adopted to the computer based processing of small displacement measurements. These methods, matrix operation approach and fixed parameters approach, are based on signal phase calculation and are able to replace complex fringe counting electronic circuits. The matrix operation provides an approach...
