This thesis gives a detailed design process for a pulsed type thruster. The thrust stand designed in this paper is for a Pulsed Plasma Thruster built by Sun Devil Satellite Laboratory, a student organization at Arizona State University. The thrust stand uses a torsional beam rotating to record displacement along with impulse-momentum theorem to find the impulse bit of the thruster, which varies largely from other design which focus on using the natural dynamics their fixtures. The target impulse to record on this fixture was estimated to be 275 μN-s of impulse. Through calibration and experimentation, the fixture is capable of recording an impulse of 332 μN-s ± 14.81 μN-s, close to the target impulse. The error due to noise was characterized and evaluated to be under 5% which is deemed to be acceptable.

We have completed the circuit design and packaging procedure for an NIH-funded neural implant, called a MOTE (Microscale Optoelectronically Transduced Electrode). Neural recording implants for mice have greatly advanced neuroscience, but they are often damaging and limited in their recording location. This project will result in free-floating implants that cause less damage, provide rapid electronic recording, and increase range of recording across the cortex. A low-power silicon IC containing amplification and digitization sub-circuits is powered by a dual-function gallium arsenide photovoltaic and LED. Through thin film deposition, photolithography, and chemical and physical etching, the Molnar Group and the McEuen Group (Applied and Engineering Physics department) will package the IC and LED into a biocompatible implant approximately 100μm. The IC and LED are complete and we have begun refining this packaging procedure in the Cornell NanoScale Science & Technology Facility. ICs with 3D time-resolved imaging capabilities can image microorganisms and other biological samples given proper packaging. A portable, flat, easily manufactured package would enable scientists to place biological samples on slides directly above the Molnar group’s imaging chip. We have developed a packaging procedure using laser cutting, photolithography, epoxies, and metal deposition. Using a flip-chip method, we verified the process by aligning and adhering a sample chip to a holder wafer. In the CNF, we have worked on a long-term metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitor characterization project. Former Fellow and continuing CNF user Kwame Amponsah developed the original procedure for the capacitor fabrication, and another former fellow, Jonilyn Longenecker, revised the procedure and began the arduous process of characterization. MIM caps are useful to clean room users as testing devices to verify electronic characteristics of their active circuitry. This project’s objective is to determine differences in current-voltage (IV) and capacitor-voltage (CV) relationships across variations in capacitor size and dielectric type.

The present work was carried with new type and promising polymer electrolytes system by development of carboxyl methylcellulose (CMC) doped NH4Br and plasticized with polyethylene glycol (PEG). The sample was successfully prepared via solution casting with no separation phase and good mechanical properties. The electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity of CMC-NH4Br-PEG based PEs system have been measured by the electrical impedance spectroscopy method in the temperature range of 303–373 K. The highest ionic conductivity gained is 2.48 x 10-3 Scm-1 at ambient temperature for sample contain with 8 wt. % PEG. It can be concluded that the plasticized is accountable for the conductance and assist to enhancing the ionic conductivity of the CMC-NH4Br-PEG electrolyte system. The addition of PEG to the CMC-based electrolyte can enhance towards the cation mobility which is turn increases ionic conductivity. The conductivity-temperature of plasticized BdPEs system was found obeys the Arrhenius relation where the ionic conductivity increases with temperature and activation energy for the ions hopping of the highest conducting PEs system only required small value to migrate. The electrical studies show a non-Debye behaviour of BdPEs based on the analyzed data using complex permittivity, e* and complex electrical modulus, M* of the sample at different temperature.

Lithium bis (oxalate) borate or LiBOB compound has c ptured interest of researchers, because it is pot entially viable to be used as electrolyte salt in lithium-ion battery system. This compound is easy to synthesize and con sidered to be more environmentally friendly compared to conventional e lectrolyte salt because LiBOB does not contain halo gen element. This research focused on the synthesis of LiBOB fin e powder, which main purpose is improving LiBOB sal t solubility in liquid electrolyte solution. This will aid the i on transfer between electrodes which in turn will i ncrease the electrolyte performance. Solid state reaction was employed in t his experiment. Synthesis of LiBOB compound was per formed by reacting oxalic acid dihydrate, lithium hydroxide m onohydrate, and boric acid. The resulting powder wa s then processed into fine powder using ball milling techn ique with varying milling time (0, 6, 10, and 13) h our. Microstructure of the sample was then analyzed to obtain informati on regarding phase formation, functional groups, gr ain surface morphology, surface area, pore volume, solubility, and ionic conductivity. The analysis shown that LiB O and LiBOB hydrate phase was formed during the reaction, there was no changed in existing phase during milling pr ocess, crystallinity index was shifted to lower value but there was no difference in functional groups. Highe st value in surface area was found to be 83.11 m /g, with pore volume of 1.21311e+02 A at 10 hours m illing. Smaller powder size resulted in higher solubility, unfortunately the ionic condu ctivity was found to be decreased.
双(草酸)硼酸锂(LiBOB)化合物因其在锂离子电池系统中作为电解质盐具有潜在的可行性而引起了研究人员的兴趣。该化合物易于合成,由于不含光晕元素,与传统的电解质盐相比,被认为是更环保的。本文主要研究了LiBOB纳米粉体的合成,其主要目的是提高LiBOB在液态电解质溶液中的溶解度。这将有助于电极之间的i - on传递,从而提高电解质的性能。本实验采用固相反应。以二水合草酸、一水合氢氧化锂和硼酸为原料,合成了LiBOB化合物。然后用球磨技术将得到的粉末在不同的球磨时间(0、6、10和13)h内加工成细粉。然后分析样品的微观结构,以获得有关相形成,官能团,谷物表面形貌,表面积,孔隙体积,溶解度和离子电导率的信息。分析表明,反应过程中形成了lib0和LiBOB水合物相,磨矿过程中现有相没有变化,结晶度指数下降,但官能团没有变化。在10小时的钻削过程中,比表面积最大值为83.11 m /g,孔隙体积为1.21311e+02 A。粉末粒度越小,溶解度越高,但离子电导率降低。

Development of fuel cladding and structural materials in Pb-Bi environment, especially at high temperature, is a critical issue for the deployment of LFR (Lead alloy-cooled Fast Reactor) and ADS (Accelerator Driven Transmutation System). This is because of the corrosive characteristic of Pb-Bi to metals as constituent materials of fuel cladding and structural of the reactors. Corrosion test of a high-chromium austenitic stainless steel i.e. SS316Ti in molten Pb-Bi at 550 oC has been carried out for about 300 hours continuously. The characterization using SEM-EDS (Scanning Electron Microscopy - Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy) showed that an iron oxide as the outer layer and a chromium oxide as the inner layer on the surface of the specimen were formed which in general have protected the steel specimen from corrosion and dissolution attack of Pb-Bi. However, small amount of Pb could penetrate into the iron oxide layer through ultra-narrow channels. Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) with Electrostatic Force Microscopy (EFM) mode was employed to investigate the phenomena of the nano-channels early formation. The results of the nano-scale investigation showed clearly the formation of the channels at the early time of corrosion as the way of Pb to penetrate into iron oxide outer layer.

This is because of the corrosive characteristic of Pb-Bi to metals as constituent materials of fuel cladding and structural of the reactors. Corrosion test of a high-chromium austenitic stainless steel i.e. SS316Ti in molten Pb-Bi at 550 oC has been carried out for about 300 hours continuously. The characterization using SEM-EDS (Scanning Electron Microscopy - Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy) showed that an iron oxide as the outer layer and a chromium oxide as the inner layer on the surface of the specimen were formed which in general have protected the steel specimen from corrosion and dissolution attack of Pb-Bi. However, small amount of Pb could penetrate into the iron oxide layer through ultra-narrow channels.

In this study, progressive collapse potential of ge neric 3-, 8and 12-storey RC moment frame building s designed based on IBC-2006 code was investigated by performing non -linear static and dynamic analyses. It was observe d that the model structures had high potential for progressive collapse when the second floor column was suddenly removed. Then, the size of beams required to satisfy the fai lure criteria for progressive collapse was obtained by using the virtual work method; i.e., using the equilibrium of the ext ernal work done by gravity load due to loss of a co lumn and the internal work done by plastic rotation of beams. Ac cording to the nonlinear dynamic analysis results, the model structures designed only for normal load turned out t have strong potential for progressive collapse whereas the structures designed by plastic design concept for p r gressive collapse satisfied the failure criterion recommended by the GSA code.
