Inspection of Excited State Properties in Defected Carbon Nanotubes from Multiple Exciton Generation to Defect-Defect Interactions

Weight, Braden Michael January 2020 (has links)
Covalent SP3-hybridization defects in single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been prevalent in recent experimental and theoretical studies for their interesting photophysical properties. These systems are able to act as excellent sources of single, infrared photons, even at room temperature, making them marketable for applications to sensing, telecommunications, and quantum information. This work was motivated by recent experimental studies on controllable defect placement and concentration as well as investigating carrier multiplication (CM) using DFT-based many-body perturbation theory (MBPT) methods to describe excitonic relaxation processes. We find that pristine CNTs do not yield appreciable MEG at the minimum threshold of twice the optical gap 2Eg, but covalent functionalization allows for improved MEG at the threshold. Finally, we see that defect-defect interactions within CNT systems can be modeled simply as HJ-aggregates in an effective Hamiltonian model, which is shown to be valid for certain, highly-redshifted defect configurations at low defect-defect separation lengths.

Fraction Multiplication and Division Image Change in Pre-Service Elementary Teachers

Cluff, Jennifer J. 11 July 2005 (has links) (PDF)
This study investigated three pre-service elementary teachers' understanding of fractions and fraction multiplication and division. The motivation for this study was lack of conceptual understanding of fractions and fraction multiplication and division. Pre-service elementary teachers were chosen because teachers are the conduit of information for their students. The subjects were followed through the fractions unit in a mathematics methods course for pre-service elementary teachers at Brigham Young University. Each subject volunteered to participate and were interviewed and videotaped throughout the study, and they also provided copies of all work done in the fractions unit in the course. The data is presented as three case studies, each beginning with a discussion of the subject's math history and prior understanding of fractions. Then the case studies discuss the subject's change in understanding of fractions, fraction multiplication, and fraction division. Finally, at the end of each case study, a discussion of the subject's conceptual understanding is discussed. Each participant showed a deepened conceptual understanding of fractions, fraction multiplication, and fraction division. The subjects' prior knowledge of fractions and fraction multiplication and division did affect their growth of understanding. Each participant had unique levels of growth and inhibitors to growth of understanding. At the times of most growth of understanding, the subjects' inhibitors of growth were also the most evident.

Frequency Response and Gain Enhancement of Solid-State Impact-Ionization Multipliers (SIMs)

Beutler, Joshua L. 23 February 2010 (has links) (PDF)
A study of the frequency response and gain of Solid-state the Impact-ionization Multiplier (SIM). The SIM generates current gain via impact ionization also known as avalanche gain. The SIM provides low noise amplification from an arbitrary current source. In the case of this study, current sources consisted of photodiodes optimized for a particular wavelength of light. The SIM is fabricated from silicon and enjoys the low noise, low carrier transit time advantages of conventional silicon impact ionization devices while amplifying current from a photodiode of a different material. This is advantageous because ideal detection and multiplication regions cannot always be grown on the same wafer. Furthermore a photodiode fitted to a SIM allows absorption and multiplication regions to be independently optimized. The SIM exhibits a current dependant input resistance. This resistance in combination with field effects from the SIM collector is the limiting factor in the frequency response of the SIM. Frequency response is improved to the extent that this floating voltage at the input can be minimized. Higher AC gains are realized in the device with the incorporation of 3-dimensional geometries. These improvements allow for improved device breakdown and reduced space-charge resistance at high input currents. Frequency response can also be improved by increasing the current flowing into the SIM, this current is most often in the form of DC current such that it can be filtered off at a the output and not interfere with the input signal.

Algorithms for Large Matrix Multiplications : Assessment of Strassen's Algorithm / Algoritmer för Stora Matrismultiplikationer : Bedömning av Strassens Algoritm

Johansson, Björn, Österberg, Emil January 2018 (has links)
1968 var Strassens algoritm en av de stora genombrotten inom matrisanalyser. I denna rapport kommer teorin av Volker Strassens algoritm för matrismultiplikationer tillsammans med teorier om precisioner att presenteras. Även fördelar med att använda denna algoritm jämfört med naiva matrismultiplikation och dess implikationer, samt hur den presterar jämfört med den naiva algoritmen kommer att presenteras. Strassens algoritm kommer också att bli bedömd på hur dess resultat skiljer sig för olika precisioner när matriserna blir större, samt hur dess teoretiska komplexitet skiljer sig gentemot den erhållna komplexiteten. Studier hittade att Strassens algoritm överträffade den naiva algoritmen för matriser av storlek 1024×1024 och större. Den erhållna komplexiteten var lite större än Volker Strassens teoretiska. Den optimala precisionen i detta fall var dubbelprecisionen, Float64. Sättet algoritmen implementeras på i koden påverkar dess prestanda. Ett flertal olika faktorer behövs ha i åtanke för att förbättra Strassens algoritm: optimera dess avbrottsvillkor, sättet som matriserna paddas för att de ska vara mer användbara för rekursiv tillämpning och hur de implementeras t.ex. parallella beräkningar. Även om det kunde bevisas att Strassen algoritm överträffade den naiva efter en viss matrisstorlek så är den inte den mest effektiva; t.ex visades detta med Strassen-Winograd. Man behöver vara uppmärksam på hur undermatriserna allokeras, för att inte ta upp onödigt minne. För fördjupning kan man läsa på om cache-oblivious och cache-aware algoritmer. / Strassen’s algorithm was one of the breakthroughs in matrix analysis in 1968. In this report the thesis of Volker Strassen’s algorithm for matrix multipli- cations along with theories about precisions will be shown. The benefits of using this algorithm compared to naive matrix multiplication and its implica- tions, how its performance compare to the naive algorithm, will be displayed. Strassen’s algorithm will also be assessed on how the output differ when the matrix sizes grow larger, as well as how the theoretical complexity of the al- gorithm differs from the achieved complexity. The studies found that Strassen’s algorithm outperformed the naive matrix multiplication at matrix sizes 1024 1024 and above. The achieved complex- ity was a little higher compared to Volker Strassen’s theoretical. The optimal precision for this case were the double precision, Float64. How the algorithm is implemented in code matters for its performance. A number of techniques need to be considered in order to improve Strassen’s algorithm, optimizing its termination criterion, the manner by which it is padded in order to make it more usable for recursive application and the way it is implemented e.g. parallel computing. Even tough it could be proved that Strassen’s algorithm outperformed the Naive after reaching a certain matrix size, it is still not the most efficient one; e.g. as shown with Strassen-Winograd. One need to be careful of how the sub-matrices are being allocated, to not use unnecessary memory. For further reading one can study cache-oblivious and cache-aware algorithms.

Class Numbers of Ray Class Fields of Imaginary Quadratic Fields

Kucuksakalli, Omer 01 May 2009 (has links)
Let K be an imaginary quadratic field with class number one and let [Special characters omitted.] be a degree one prime ideal of norm p not dividing 6 d K . In this thesis we generalize an algorithm of Schoof to compute the class number of ray class fields [Special characters omitted.] heuristically. We achieve this by using elliptic units analytically constructed by Stark and the Galois action on them given by Shimura's reciprocity law. We have discovered a very interesting phenomena where p divides the class number of [Special characters omitted.] . This is a counterexample to the elliptic analogue of a well-known conjecture, namely the Vandiver's conjecture.

Propagation de l'if du Canada (Taxus canadensis Marsh.) par bouturage : les effets de divers facteurs physiologiques et environnementaux

Auclair, Isabelle 16 April 2018 (has links)
Le potentiel de multiplication de l'if du Canada par bouturage a été étudié à trois périodes de l'année (différentes conditions). Des extrémités de tiges constituées de la pousse de la dernière, des deux dernières et des trois dernières années de croissance (1, 2 ou 3 ans), provenant de tiges principales ou de ramifications sous-jacentes, ont été trempées dans une solution d'éthanol 50 % ou de 4 000 ppm d' AIB dilué dans l'éthanol 50 % et piquées dans un substrat composé de pedite et de tourbe de sphaigne dans une proportion de 3/2 (v/v). Dans une autre expérience, la base des boutures latérales de deux ans a été trempée dans diverses doses et combinaisons d'acide indolylbutyrique (Am) ou d'acide naphtalène acétique (ANA). Dans une dernière expérience, des boutures d'extrémité de tiges principales de deux ans ont été insérées dans des substrats d'enracinement composés de diverses proportions de perlite, de tourbe de sphaigne et de charbon activé. Tous ces traitements ont eu très peu d'effet sur le taux d'enracinement . des boutures, ces dernières s'enracinant pratiquement à tout moment de l'année dans une proportion de plus de 75 %. En revanche, la qualité de l'enracinement a été influencée par la plupart des facteurs étudiés.

Framgångsrik undervisning av multiplikation : - för kunskapsutveckling i matematik / Framgångsrik undervisning i multiplikation : - för kunskapsutveckling i matematik

Larsson, Susann, Palm, Moa January 2023 (has links)
Internationella undersökningar visar att svenska grundskoleelever presterar under genomsnittet för EU- och OECD-länderna i matematikämnet. Tidigare studier poängterar att djupare förståelse inom multiplikation är avgörande för det fortsatta lärandet i matematik. Syftet med denna systematiska litteraturstudie är att undersöka vilka representationsformer som är framgångsrika vid undervisning av multiplikation. Syftet är även att studera hur dessa representationsformer kan användas och struktureras i matematikklassrummet. Studiens resultat visar att användning av flera representationsformer är att föredra vid undervisning av multiplikation och att detta främjar kunskapsutveckling hos elever. Representationsformerna kan struktureras och användas på olika sätt och i denna studie framträder strukturen Konkret-Bild-Abstrakt som mest framgångsrik. Studien poängterar även lärarens centrala roll i undervisning av multiplikation. / Internationella undersökningar visar att svenska grundskoleelever presterar under genomsnittet för EU- och OECD-länderna i ämnet matematik.
