- Abstract/Description

Raman spectroscopy was used to investigate how phase structure and phase stability of zirconia mixtures depend on temperature, type and concentration of added rare earth oxides, and fabrication process. All 8wt% yttria samples exhibited the tetragonal structure between 300 and 10 K. The TZP sample, prepared under pressure and fully hardened, exhibited the most completely stabilized tetragonal structure. The plasma coating process did not improve the stability of the tetragonal structure....
Show moreRaman spectroscopy was used to investigate how phase structure and phase stability of zirconia mixtures depend on temperature, type and concentration of added rare earth oxides, and fabrication process. All 8wt% yttria samples exhibited the tetragonal structure between 300 and 10 K. The TZP sample, prepared under pressure and fully hardened, exhibited the most completely stabilized tetragonal structure. The plasma coating process did not improve the stability of the tetragonal structure. Adding ceria to zirconia did not completely stabilize the tetragonal structure, while adding alumina actually destabilized it. Mode Gruneisen parameters, obtained from changes in frequency for yttria samples with different concentration, agreed with published results under pressure, except for one Eg mode. The negative value obtained for this mode was ascribed to changes in cation-anion interactions. The temperature dependence of the linewidth for this mode was quantitatively explained by cubic anharmonic interactions.

Polarized electronic spectra of trans-diacidobis (ethylenediamine )- chromium(III) complexes were measured at liquid nitrogen temperature, the diacido groups being aquochloro, aquobromo, bromochloro, bis(N, N-dimethylformamide), chloro(N, N-dimethyl£ormamide) and bromo(N, N-dimethylformamide).

The quadrate components of the first two cubic bands were polarized and assigned on the basis of predicted polarization pattern for D4h vibronic mechanism for d^3 configuration. The higher energy intraconfigurational doublets were uncovered in most of the systems. The bis(N, N-dimethylformamide) complex showed two high-energy spin-forbidden bands at ~32,000 cm^-1 not previously observed in the spectra of chromium(III) complexes. The ligand field and electron correlation parameters were evaluated by fitting the observed band maxima with d^3 quadrate energy equations including full configuration interaction but neglecting spin-orbit perturbation. The parameters of these complexes and of the other trans-diacidobis (ethylenediamine) systems obtained by others were analysed in terms of the bonding nature of ligands.

The optical properties of the diluted magnetic semiconductor Zn1-x MnxS have been studied by using photoluminescence emission, lifetime and excitation spectroscopies. In photoluminescence spectroscopy three bands were found peaking at 585 nm (yellow band), 650 nm (orange band) and 750 nm (red band). For the yellow and red bands the peak position changes little with Mn concentration. For the orange band the peak energy decreases with increasing Mn concentration. The lifetimes of the yellow,...

In photoluminescence spectroscopy three bands were found peaking at 585 nm (yellow band), 650 nm (orange band) and 750 nm (red band). For the yellow and red bands the peak position changes little with Mn concentration. For the orange band the peak energy decreases with increasing Mn concentration. The lifetimes of the yellow, orange and red bands were found to be about 70, 50 and 7 mus. The results of the lifetime measurements support the assumption that there is energy transfer from the yellow to the red band through radiationless transitions. In the excitation spectroscopy of the yellow band four peaks were found peaking near 526, 487, 461 and 426 nm. These four bands have been ascribed to transitions from the four lowest excited states of Mn ++ to the ground state. (Abstract shortened with permission of author.)

Show moreThis report presents the results of an experimental investigation of the effects of using different source measurement techniques in implementing the coherence function for source identification purposes. Frequency domain measurements leading to the coherence function are developed with regard to providing a causal relation for a single input, single output, linear system. The use of a near microphone or accelerometer for source measurements is presented with particular interest paid to the effect of introducing noise into the input measurement. Experimental results show that while a near microphone provides a more accurate coherence statement than an accelerometer, the input of correlated noise may be a problem. The possibility of an empirical criteria for the source to noise signal difference at the near microphone is raised as a means to help avoid this problem.

Three point bending test was performed to quantify the mechanical degradation of composite immersed in seawater with different environmental and electrochemical interactions. Finally, Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) was used to better understanding of the degradation process in CF/VE composite produced by interactions between electrochemical and different environmental conditions. A detailed equivalent circuit analysis by using EIS spectra is also presented in an attempt to elucidate the degradation phenomenon in composites.

Show moreOne of the limiting factors restricting aircraft landings at maJor airports is the minimum spacing requirements due to vortex wake avoidance. If it can be shown that the separation requirements are too conservative, then it may be possible to increase the rate of landings on a given runway. During August/September 2003, NASA and the (United States Department of Transportation) USDOT sponsored a wake acoustics test at the Denver International Airport. The central instrument of the test was a large microphone phased array. Different types of aircrafts were recorded during landing and the acoustic data obtained was stored. From acoustic data the spectrograms were generated using the technique of AutoRegressive (AR) spectral estimation from multitaper autocorrelation estimates. Several sources of sound that are recorded in the audio files can be observed in the spectrograms. Some these signals, such as the noise generated from the aircraft engine can be identified easily because of their strength and the Doppler shift they undergo. In contrast to this, the wake vortex signal is weaker and does not exhibit a Doppler shift because it's stationary in space. Therefore it may not be identified easily because of the existence of stronger signals. The motive in our research is to develop methods to determine these strong signals that appear as spectral lines in the spectrogram. In the future, the results obtained in this work can be used to eliminate these strong signals from the spectrogram thus allowing us to see and identify wake vortex signal which is more important to us.

Show moreEthylene is the simplest alkene. The carbon-carbon double bond is ubiquitous in the field of chemistry. Ethylene serves as the basis for understanding these molecules. Thus, the assignment of the electronic transitions in ethylene is an important endeavor that many scientists have undertaken, but are yet to decipher theoretically or experimentally. Synchrotron Radiation in the vacuum ultraviolet region allows for magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) measurements of ethylene and other simple alkenes. Studies of ethylene and propylene revealed that the páap* (AgáaB1u ethylene notation) transition is not the lowest energy transition. The páa3s(R) (AgáaB3u ethylene notation) is the lowest energy transition. To further this investigation, MCD and absorption measurement were carried out on isobutene. The isobutene spectra clearly showed four electronic transitions in the 156 to 212 nm wavelength region. These four isobutene transitions have been assigned as páa3s, páap*, páa3p(Sv (Band páa3px proceeding from lower energy to higher energy. The present results support the assignments in ethylene and propylene.

Show moreThis study explores the application of two methods of spectroscopy; Near Infrared spectroscopy (NIR) and Fourier transform spectroscopy (FTIR) as alternative approaches for measuring glucocorticoid metabolites in chimpanzee feces. The goals of this study were twofold: The first was to determine if cortisol can be identified within the NIR and/or FTIR spectra of chimpanzee fecal hormone extract in ethanol solution. The second objective was to determine the capability of NIR and FTIR to predict FGM concentrations obtained using standard laboratory methods. Fecal glucocorticoid concentrations measured by Enzyme Immunoassay were used as the reference data of partial least square (PLS) regression of fecal extract NIR spectra and FTIR spectra. Low accuracies (NIR: R2 = 0.152; FTIR: R2 = 0.199) were obtained from regression models using data from both methods. Though this study did not successfully demonstrate the feasibility of using NIR and FTIR to qualify and quantify FGMs, it is likely not a reflection of the capabilities of the technology, but rather of appropriate sample types and preparation methods.

Changes in EIS data were related to water uptake into the composite material as a function of exposure time. Electrochemically induced damage (both anodic and cathodic) were also evaluated using impedance measurements. Three point flexure tests with concurrent EIS measurements were employed to study the effect of stresses on water uptake and mechanical degradation. Visual observation of the extent of damage (i.e., fiber-matrix debonding) was made using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and correlated with EIS observation.

Reflected/scattered light is measured by a large “light bucket” detector; processing of the detected signal yields the magnitude and phase of spatial frequency components of the object reflectance or transmittance function. An inverse Fourier transform results in the image. In 2012 a novel method, known as time-average Fourier telescopy (TAFT), was introduced by William T. Rhodes as a means for diffraction-limited imaging through ground-level atmospheric turbulence. This method, which can be applied to long horizontal-path terrestrial imaging, addresses a need that is not solved by the adaptive optics methods being used in astronomical imaging. Field-experiment verification of the TAFT concept requires instrumentation that is not available at Florida Atlantic University. The objective of this doctoral research program is thus to demonstrate, in the absence of full-scale experimentation, the feasibility of time-average Fourier telescopy through (a) the design, construction, and testing of smallscale laboratory instrumentation capable of exploring basic Fourier telescopy datagathering operations, and (b) the development of MATLAB-based software capable of demonstrating the effect of kilometer-scale passage of laser beams through ground-level turbulence in a numerical simulation of TAFT.
