A indústria aeronáutica tem mostrado grande interesse neste método de soldagem, tanto para a união de ligas similares como dissimilares. Entretanto, este processo causa modificações microestruturais dependentes das condições de tratamento térmico ou termomecânico. Contato elétrico entre zonas de microestruturas diferentes, por sua vez, pode resultar em acoplamento galvânico. No presente estudo, a soldagem por FSW foi usada para unir duas ligas de alumínio dissimilares, AA2024-T3 e AA7475-T651 e o efeito desta soldagem na resistência à corrosão das juntas soldadas e na microestrutura das ligas foi avaliada. Na investigação da resistência à corrosão foram utilizados ensaios eletroquímicos, especificamente, medidas de potencial de circuito aberto (OCP) em função do tempo de exposição ao meio corrosivo, ensaios de polarização e de espectroscopia de impedância eletroquímica, global (EIS) ou local (LEIS), em duas soluções, seja 0,1 M Na2SO4 ou 0,1 M Na2SO4 + 1 mM NaCl. Os ensaios eletroquímicos evidenciaram efeito de acoplamento galvânico nas juntas soldadas. A caracterização microestrutural foi realizada por microscopia ótica, microscopia eletrônica de varredura, microscopia eletrônica de transmissão e por calorimetria diferencial. As zonas afetadas pela solda tiveram importantes modificações na microestrutura indicadas pela precipitação e dissolução de precipitados que afetam a resistência à corrosão localizada. A resistência à corrosão intergranular e a resistência à esfoliação das juntas soldadas também foram avaliadas e comparadas com as das ligas AA2024-T3 e AA7475-T651 não soldadas. Os resultados mostraram aumento da suscetibilidade das juntas soldadas a estas formas de corrosão em comparação com as ligas não soldadas sendo observado ataque mais severo na liga AA7475-T651. A identificação das áreas anódicas e catódicas resultantes do acoplamento galvânico nas juntas soldadas foi realizada por teste que consistiu na deposição de camada de gel (ágar-ágar) com indicador universal na superfície das ligas soldadas. A liga AA2024-T3 atuou como cátodo, enquanto a AA7475-T651, como ânodo no par galvânico. Além disso, evolução de hidrogênio foi observada na região de interface entre a zona termomecanicamente afetada e a termicamente afetada da liga AA7475-T651 mostrando que reações catódicas também ocorreram localmente nesta última liga. Resultados de LEIS obtidos nas diferentes zonas das duas ligas soldadas por FSW mostraram acoplamento galvânico na interface entre elas para tempos curtos de ensaio e deslocamento da região mais ativa com o tempo de ensaio para a liga AA7475-T651, mais precisamente para a interface entre a zona termomecanicamente afetada e a térmicamente afetada desta liga. / Tese (Doutorado em Tecnologia Nuclear ) / IPEN/D / Instituto de Pesquisas Energeticas e Nucleares - IPEN-CNEN/SP

This master’s thesis deals with supercapacitors and polymer gel electrolytes. The practical part deals with the preparation of samples of polymer gel electrolyte with addition of alkali salts by measuring their electrical conductivity and evaluation potential windows.

The master thesis analyses electrical conductivity of lead-free solder joints. The test method design for monitoring the electrical conductivity of the soldered joint is described in the practical part. Simulated BGA package with four pin (BGA4) is used for experiments. Tested PCBs are subjected to isothermal aging and current load. During isothermal aging is measured electrical conductivity and optical microscope is used for intermetallic layer (IMC) growth observation. Two types of surface finish (OSP and ENIG) are used for tests and three diameters of solder terminal balls (solder alloy SAC405). The influence of the ratio area connection / solder volume (ratio S / V) on lead-free solder joints conductivity was evaluated.

Les travaux de la présente thèse porteront sur le raffinement du modèle du potentiel source-puits (SSP) proposé par Ernzerhof en 2006. Cette méthode permet de calculer la conductance qualitative de dispositifs électroniques moléculaires (MEDs). Dans la première partie de ce travail, le modèle SSP sera amélioré en y intégrant la description de l’interaction d’un champ électromagnétique fort avec le MED. Des expériences récentes ont démontré que des molécules pouvaient interagir fortement avec des plasmons de polaritons de surface (SPP). Ces interactions créent des états liés électron-SPP qui seront exploités pour contrôler la conductance de MEDs. Des formules analytiques expliqueront l’impact des paramètres physiques de ces circuits optoélectroniques sur la conductance de ceux-ci. Dans le même esprit, la seconde partie de cette thèse inclura les interactions électron-noyau au modèle SSP afin de décrire entre autres le courant décohérent d’un MED. Dans ce modèle les interactions noyau-électron seront décrites à partir de l’approximation harmonique et intégrées à l’hamiltonien de façon non-pertubative. Des formules analytiques seront dérivées afin de décrire la conductance de tels MEDs. Finalement, les conséquences du bris de la symétrie de la parité et du temps de la matrice hamiltonienne de la méthode SSP seront découvertes dans la densité spectrale et les fonctions d’ondes des MEDs. / The purpose of this thesis is to expand the scope of the source-sink potential (SSP) method originally proposed by Ernzerhof in 2006. The SSP model allows the computation of the qualitative conductance of molecular electronics devices (MEDs). In the first part of this work, the SSP model will be improved by including the description of interaction between the strong electromagnetic field and the MED. Recent experiments have shown that molecules could strongly interact with surface plasmon of polaritons (SPPs). These interactions will create so-called dressed states that can be used to control the conductance of MEDs. In the second part of this work, the SSP model will be augmented by including electron-nucleus interactions to describe the inelastic current. In this model, the electron-nuclueus interaction will be account for with the help of the harmonic approximation and incorporated into the hamiltonian non-pertubatively. Analytical formulas will be derived that will allow one to understand the impact of physical parameters on the conductance of MEDs. Lastly, the impact of the parity and time symmetry breaking of the SSP matrix hamiltonian will be studied and related to change in the spectral density and in the eigenfunctions of the MEDs.

Nous avons utilisé la méthode de CEMOVIS (Cryo-Electron Microscopy Of Vitreous Sections) pour étudier l’ultrastructure des cellules HT29 (lignée cancéreuse colique humaine) et plus particulièrement l’organisation de la chromatine au sein du noyau. Pour améliorer la méthode, nous avons développé un micromanipulateur qui facilite la collecte des coupes et leur transfert sur la grille. Nous avons également cherché à préparer de nouveaux films métalliques (en remplacement du carbone) permettant une meilleure adhésion des coupes sur le support Au vu des premiers tests réalisés, les films de TiO2 que nous avons fabriqués au laboratoire et caractérisés par microscopie électronique (HR, spectroscopie et cartographie EELS) semblent offrir des perspectives intéressantes que nous attribuons à leur propriétés de conducteur électrique à basse température (ce qui reste à démontrer). Les organites cellulaires (noyaux, réseaux de filaments du cytosquelette, systèmes multilamellaires) ont été identifiés in situ. Les conditions d’imagerie choisies nous ont permis d’obtenir une résolution permettant d’identifier les deux feuillets des bicouches membranaires. Dans le noyau, nous avons observé des motifs striés, distants de 2.7 à 3.5 nm que nous attribuons à la molécule d’ADN enroulée autour du cœur d’histones. Comparées aux images de phases denses de nucléosomes, ces images suggèrent que les nucléosomes (jamais identifiés in situ jusqu’à présent) présentent un ordre très local au sein de la chromatine, que nous discutons à la lumières des modèles polymériques actuels. / The ultrastructure of HT29 cells (human epithelial adenocarcinoma cell line) was studied by CEMOVIS (Cryo-Electron Microscopy of Vitreous Sections) with a special emphasis on chromatin organization in the cell nucleus. We proposed methodological improvements for this technique:- We first developed a grid holding micromanipulator to facilitate both cryosections collect and deposition on carbon-coated TEM grids.- We also developed new metallic thin films (to replace carbon-base supports) to enhance the adhesion of cryosections on their support. The TiO2 thin films that we produced and analysed by electron microscopy (high resolution imaging, EELS and chemical mapping) seem to be an interesting alternative to carbon films for the deposition of cryosections. Their adhesive properties could be due to Titanium high electric conductance at low temperature (although this relation has not been clearly demonstrated yet).In HT 29 cells, we indentified cell organites (nucleus; cytoskeleton filament bundles, multilamellar bodies) in situ. Selected imaging conditions provide for a high enough resolution to visualise the two membrane leaflets. In the cell nucleus, we observed striated patterns separated from 2.7 to 3.5 nm that we assume to be DNA molecule turns wrapped around the histone protein core. Compared with the dense phases formed in vitro by nucleosome core particle in solution, our images suggest that nucleosomes are locally ordered in chromatin. This observation is discussed regarding the chromatin polymeric models.

Stromrichtertransformatoren der Hochspannungsgleichstromübertragung bilden das Bindeglied zwischen Gleichspannungs- und Drehstromsystem. Um den ausfallsicheren Betrieb über die gesamte Lebensdauer zu gewährleisten, muss deren Öl-Papier-Isoliersystem entsprechend dimensioniert werden. Eine optimale Dimensionierung setzt ein detailliertes Verständnis über die Beanspruchung des Isoliersystems sowie deren zuverlässige Modellierung sowohl unter Betriebsspannung als auch bei den überlagerten, transienten Überspannungen voraus. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wird daher das dielektrische Verhalten des Öl-Papier-Isoliersystems in Anlehnung an dielektrische Prüfungen sowohl unter Gleichspannungsbelastung als auch einer zusammengesetzten Spannungsbelastung aus einer Gleich- und einer Blitzstoßspannung (einer sog. Mischspannungsbelastung) untersucht. Der Vergleich von numerischen Berechnungen auf Grundlage eines ladungsträgerbasierten Ansatzes nach Poisson-Nernst-Planck (PNP) mit Durchschlagexperimenten gibt dabei Aufschluss über die Beanspruchung des Öl-Papier-Isoliersystems. Weiterhin wird gezeigt, dass der in den etablierten, resistiv-kapazitiven Berechnungsmodellen vernachlässigte Ladungsträgereinfluss in Bezug auf die Beanspruchung des Isoliersystems unzureichende Ergebnisse zur Folge hat und demnach zwingend zu berücksichtigen ist. Die an realitätsnahen, Öl-Papier-isolierten Anordnungen erzielten Ergebnisse zeigen nicht nur den Einfluss der an Grenzflächen oder im Papier akkumulierten Ladungsträger auf die Beanspruchung des Isoliersystems. Ebenso werden die Annahmen des ladungsträgerbasierten Ansatzes und die Berechnungsergebnisse des PNP-Modells qualitativ bestätigt. Infolge der Ladungsakkumulation im Papier tritt die höchste Beanspruchung im Ölspalt und nicht im Papier auf. Öl-Papier-isolierte Anordnungen werden somit geringer beansprucht, als eine Strömungsfeldberechnung vermuten lässt. Dies widerspricht den Annahmen der etablierten Berechnungsmodelle und wird im Weiteren durch Polaritätseffekte an homogenen, aber unsymmetrischen, papierisolierten Elektrodenanordnungen oder durch den nachweisbaren Einfluss des Ölvolumens im Prüfgefäß auf die Beanspruchung einer Anordnung verdeutlicht. Unter Mischspannungsbelastung wird weiterhin gezeigt, dass eine Überlagerung der Gleichspannung und damit auch der Polaritätswechsel keine höhere Beanspruchung des Isoliersystems im Vergleich zur reinen Gleichspannungsbelastung zur Folge hat. Die etablierten, resistiv-kapazitiven Modelle ließen jedoch den Polaritätswechsel als kritischste Beanspruchung vermuten. Somit wird nicht nur die Anwendbarkeit der ladungsträgerbasierten PNP-Modellierung an Öl-Papier-Isolieranordnungen qualitativ verifiziert. Ebenso wird demonstriert, dass die stark vereinfachten Annahmen der etablierten Berechnungsmodelle die Beanspruchungen unter Gleich- und der untersuchten Mischspannungsbelastung nicht abbilden können. Der Einsatz klassischer Strömungsfeldberechnungen zur Nachbildung der Beanspruchung des Öl-Papier-Isoliersystems unter Gleichspannungsbelastung entspricht damit nicht mehr dem Stand der Forschung. / Converter transformers of HVDC transmission systems connect HVDC and HVAC systems. To ensure a reliable operation during the entire lifetime, their oil-paper-insulation system must be designed appropriately. An optimized dielectric design demands a fundamental understanding of the dielectric stresses as well as a reliable modeling of the insulation system both under operating voltages and under superimposed, transient overvoltages. Hence, in this work the dielectric behavior of the oil-paper-insulation system is investigated. Based on dielectric tests the investigations are performed under DC voltage stress and a composite voltage stress of a DC voltage in stationary conditions superimposed by a lightning impulse voltage. The comparison of numerical calculations using a charge-carrier-based approach according to Poisson-Nernst-Planck (PNP) with breakdown experiments clarifies the dielectric stress of the oil-paper-insulation system. Furthermore, the comparison with results determined by the established, resistive-capacitive calculation models shows that it is mandatory to take the influence of the charge carrier accumulation into account. The presented results, which were obtained at oil-paper-insulated arrangements which represent the dielectic stress of real arrangements, show the influence of the charge carriers accumulating at interfaces or in the paper insulationon on the dielectric stress. The results confirm the calculations and the assumptions according to the charge-carrier-based model as well. Due to the charge carrier accumulation, the highest dielectric stress occurs in the mineral oil and not in the paper insulation. In contrast, the findings obtained assuming an ohmic conductivity would results in a higher dielectric stress of the oil-paperinsulated arrangements. Furthermore, polarity effects in homogeneous but asymmetrical, paper-insulated electrode arrangements or the influence of the surrounding oil in the test vessel demonstrate the effects of the charge carriers. Under composite voltage stresses it is also shown, that the applied superimposed voltage as well as the fast polarity reversal does not lead to a higher dielectric stress of the arrangements compared to the pure DC voltage stress. Commonly used calculation models would determine higher stresses due to the fast polarity reversal instead. Consequently, the applicability of the charge-carrier-based PNP calculation model is verified qualitatively in the presented investigations. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that the simplified assumptions of the commonly used calculation models cannot simulate the dielectric stresses under DC voltage stress and under the investigated superimposed voltage stresses. Hence, the determination of the dielectric stresses of oil-paper-insulation systems under DC voltage stress according to the commonly used calculation models assuming an ohmic conductivity does not correspond to the current state of research.
