La réduction (« scaling ») continue des dimensions des transistors MOSFET nous a conduits à l'ère de la nanoélectronique. Le transistor à effet de champ multi-grilles (MultiGate FET, MuGFET) avec l'architecture «nanofil canal» est considéré comme un candidat possible pour le scaling des MOSFET jusqu'à la fin de la roadmap. Parallèlement au scaling des CMOS classiques ou scaling suivant la loi de Moore, de nombreuses propositions de nouveaux dispositifs, exploitant des phénomènes nanométriques, ont été faites. Ainsi, le transistor monoélectronique (SET), utilisant le phénomène de «blocage de Coulomb», et le transistor à atome unique (SAT), en tant que transistors de dimensions ultimes, sont les premiers dispositifs nanoélectroniques visant de nouvelles applications comme la logique à valeurs multiples ou l'informatique quantique. Bien que le SET a été initialement proposé comme un substitut au CMOS («Au-delà du dispositif CMOS»), il est maintenant largement considéré comme un complément à la technologie CMOS permettant de nouveaux circuits fonctionnels. Toutefois, la faible température de fonctionnement et la fabrication incompatible avec le procédé CMOS ont été des contraintes majeures pour l'intégration SET avec la technologie FET industrielle. Cette thèse répond à ce problème en combinant les technologies CMOS de dimensions réduites, SET et SAT par le biais d'un schéma d'intégration unique afin de fabriquer des transistors « Trigate » nanofil. Dans ce travail, pour la première fois, un SET fonctionnant à température ambiante et fabriqués à partir de technologies CMOS SOI à l'état de l'art (incluant high-k/grille métallique) est démontré. Le fonctionnement à température ambiante du SET nécessite une île (ou canal) de dimensions inférieures à 5 nm. Ce résultat est obtenu grâce à la réduction du canal nanofil ‘‘trigate'' à environ 5 nm de largeur. Une étude plus approfondie des mécanismes de transport mis en jeu dans le dispositif est réalisée au moyen de mesures cryogéniques de conductance. Des simulations NEGF tridimensionnelles sont également utilisées pour optimiser la conception du SET. De plus, la cointégration sur la même puce de MOSFET FDSOI et SET est réalisée. Des circuits hybrides SET-FET fonctionnant à température ambiante et permettant l'amplification du courant SET jusque dans la gamme des milliampères (appelé «dispositif SETMOS» dans la littérature) sont démontrés de même que de la résistance différentielle négative (NDR) et de la logique à valeurs multiples. Parallèlement, sur la même technologie, un transistor à atome unique fonctionnant à température cryogénique est également démontré. Ceci est obtenu par la réduction de la longueur de canal MOSFET à environ 10 nm, si bien qu'il ne comporte plus qu'un seul atome de dopant dans le canal (diffusée à partir de la source ou de drain). A basse température, le transport d'électrons à travers l'état d'énergie de ce dopant unique est étudié. Ces dispositifs fonctionnent également comme MOSFET à température ambiante. Par conséquent, une nouvelle méthode d'analyse est développée en corrélation avec des caractéristiques à 300K et des mesures cryogéniques pour comprendre l'impact du dopant unique sur l'échelle MOSFET à température ambiante. / Continuous scaling of MOSFET dimensions has led us to the era of nanoelectronics. Multigate FET (MuGFET) architecture with ‘nanowire channel' is being considered as one feasible enabler of MOSFET scaling to end-of-roadmap. Alongside classical CMOS or Moore's law scaling, many novel device proposals exploiting nanoscale phenomena have been made either. Single Electron Transistor (SET), with its unique ‘Coulomb Blockade' phenomena, and Single Atom Transistor (SAT), as an ultimately scaled transistor, are prime nanoelectronic devices for novel applications like multivalued logic, quantum computing etc. Though SET was initially proposed as a substitute for CMOS (‘Beyond CMOS device'), it is now widely considered as a compliment to CMOS technology to enable novel functional circuits. However, the low operation temperature and non-CMOS fabrication process have been major limitations for SET integration with FET. This thesis makes an effort at combining scaled CMOS, SET and SAT through a single integration scheme enabling trigate nanowire-FET, SET or SAT. In this work, for the first time, fabrication of room temperature operating SET on state-of-the-art SOI CMOS technology (featuring high-k/metal gate) is demonstrated. Room temperature operation of SET requires an island (or channel) with dimensions of 5 nm or less. This is achieved through reduction of trigated nanowire channel to around 5 nm in width. Further study of carrier transport mechanisms in the device is carried out through cryogenic conductance measurements. Three dimensional NEGF simulations are also employed to optimize SET design. As a step further, cointegration of FDSOI MOSFET and SET on the same die is carried out. Room temperature hybrid SET-FET circuits enabling amplification of SET current to micro-ampere range (proposed as ‘SETMOS device' in literature), negative differential resistance (NDR) and multivalued logic are shown. Alongside this, on the same technology, a Single Atom Transistor working at cryogenic temperature is also demonstrated. This is achieved through scaling of MOSFET channel length to around 10 nm that enables having a single dopant atom in channel (diffused from source or drain). At low temperature, electron transport through the energy state of this single dopant is studied. These devices also work as scaled MOSFETs at room temperature. Therefore, a novel analysis method is developed correlating 300 K characteristics with cryogenic measurements to understand the impact of single dopant on scaled MOSFET at room temperature.

Résumé : Les nanotubes de carbone mono-parois (SWCNTs) sont très peu dispersibles dans les solvants et ils ont besoin d'être chimiquement modifiés avant leur utilisation dans beaucoup d'applications. Ce travail se concentre sur la synthèse du matériau des SWCNTs chimiquement modifié par une approche in situ. Les objectifs principaux de cette recherche sont : I) explorer le procédé chimique in situ pendant la synthèse des SWCNTs et 2) examiner de manière approfondie l'effet de l'environnement réactif sur les SWCNTs. Les effets du type de catalyseur et son contenu sur le produit fini des SWCNTs, synthétisé par plasma thermique inductif (PTI), ont été étudiés pour remplacer le cobalt (Co) toxique dans la matière première. À cet égard, trois mélanges de catalyseurs différents (c.-à-d. Ni-Y203, Ni-Co-Y203, et Ni-Mo-Y203) ont été utilisés. Les résultats expérimentaux ont montré que le type de catalyseur affecte la qualité des SWCNTs. Une qualité similaire peut être produite lorsque la même quantité de Co est remplacée par le Ni. En outre, des résultats observés dans les travaux expérimentaux ont été explicités par les résultats des calculs thermodynamiques. La therrnogravimétrie (TG) a été utilisée tout au long du travail pour caractériser les échantillons de SWCNTs. La TG a tout d'abord été normalisée par l'étude des effets des trois principaux paramètres instrumentaux (rampe de température, RT, la masse initiale de l'échantillon, MI, et le débit de gaz, D) sur le T, et largeur à mi-hauteur (LMH) obtenu à partir de graphiques TG et TG dérivés de noir de carbone, respectivement. Par conséquent, un plan factoriel à deux niveaux a été prévu. L'analyse statistique a montré que l'effet de RT, MI, et à un degré moindre D est significatif sur la LMH et négligeable sur Tonss. Une méthodologie a ensuite été développée sur la base de la synthèse des SWCNT en utilisant le système PTI, à travers une approche chimique in situ. L'ammoniac (NH3) a été choisi et injecté à contre-courant dans le réacteur PTI à trois débits différents et en utilisant quatre types de buses différentes. La simulation numérique a indiqué un meilleur mélange du NH3 dans le réacteur PTI lorsqu'une buse particulière a été utilisée. Les résultats expérimentaux montrent l'augmentation d'intensité de D-bande dans les spectres Raman d'échantillons SWCNTs lors de l'injection du NH3. Le NH3 pourrait augmenter la teneur en azote du produit fini de SWCNTs jusqu'à 10 fois. L'échantillon des SWCNTs traitée avec 15% vol de NH3 a montré une dispersion accrue dans le diméthylformamide et l'isopropanol. Les nanostructures de carbone en forme d'oignon et plane, ont aussi été observées. Une caractérisation complémentaire sur l'échantillon des SWCNTs traités par NH3 à 15% vol., a indiqué une modification de la surface des nanotubes, où des tubes métalliques ont montré une plus grande réactivité avec NH3 que les semi-conducteurs. Le modèle, y compris le champ d'écoulement thermique du réacteur et la cinétique de décomposition thermique de NH3 a suggéré une modification de surface des SWCNTs en deux étapes dans laquelle les nanotubes réagissent premièrement avec les espèces intermédiaires de H et de NH2. Le NH3 s'adsorbe ensuite chimiquement sur les nanotubes. Le modèle a également suggéré que les espèces intermédiaires comme le NNH et le N2H2 jouent un rôle principalement en conduisant la décomposition du NH3 plutôt que la modification chimique des SWCNTs. // Abstract : Pristine single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are poorly dispersible and insoluble in many solvents and need to be chemically modified prior to their use in many applications. This work is focused on the investigation of the synthesis of chemically modified SWCNTs material through an in situ approach. The main objectives of the presented research are: I) to explore the in situ chemical process during the synthesis of SWCNT and 2) to closely examine the effect of a reactive environment on SWCNTs. Effects of the catalyst type and content on the SWCNTs final product, synthesized by induction thermal plasma (1TP), were studied to replace toxic cobalt (Co) in the feedstock. In this regard, three different catalyst mixtures (i.e. Ni-Y203, Ni-Co-Y203, and Ni-Mo-Y203) were used. Experimental results showed that the catalyst type affects the quality of the SWCNT final product. Similar quality SWCNTs can be produced when the same amount of Co was replaced by Ni. Moreover, the results observed in this experimental work were further explained by thermodynamic calculation results. Thermogravimetry (TG) was used throughout the work to characterize the SWCNTs product. TG was firstly standardized by studying the effects of three main instrumental parameters (temperature ramp, TR, initial mass of the sample, 1M, and gas flow rate, FR) on the Lise, and full-width half maximum (FWHM) obtained from TG and derivative TG graphs of carbon black, respectively. Therefore, a two-level factorial statistical design was performed. The statistical analysis showed that the effect of TR, IM, and to a lower extent, FR, is significant on FWHM and insignificant on T01, 1. A methodology was then developed based upon the SWCNTs synthesis using the 1TP system, through an in situ chemistry approach. Ammonia (NH3) was selected and counter-currently injected into the ITP reactor at three different flow rates and by four different nozzle designs. Numerical simulation indicated a better mixing of NH3 in the ITP reactor when a certain nozzle was used. The experimental results showed the increase of D-band intensity in the Raman spectra of SWCNT samples upon the NH3 injection. NH3 could increase the nitrogen content of the SWCNTs final product up to 10 times. The SWCNTs sample treated with 15 vol% NH3 showed an enhanced dispersibility in Dimethylformamide and Isopropanol. Onion-like and planar carbon nanostructures were also observed. Complementary characterization on the SWCNT samples treated by 15 vol% NH3 indicated the surface modification of nanotubes. Metallic tubes showed a higher reactivity with NH3 than semiconducting ones. The model including the reactor thermo-flow field and NH3 thermal decomposition kinetics suggested a two-step SWCNT surface modification in which nanotubes firstly react with H and NH2 intermediates and later, NH3 chemisorbs on the nanotubes. The model also suggested that the intermediate species, like NNH and N2H2, play a rote primarily in driving the NH3 decomposition rather than the chemical modification of SWCNTs.

Neste trabalho foi avaliada a seletividade (quimio ou enantiosseletividade) de quatro enzimas Baeyer-Villiger mono-oxigenases (BVMOs: PAMO, PAMO M446G, HAPMO e CHMO) frente a substratos contendo boro ou selênio. Inicialmente uma série de boro-acetofenonas foram submetidas à bio-oxidação catalisada por estas BVMOs. A enzima CHMO mostrou quimiosseletividade para transformação da ligação C-B em detrimento da reação de Baeyer-Villiger. Enquanto PAMO e PAMO M446G catalisaram a oxidação de ambas as funções em substratos 4-substituídos e a seletiva transformação de C-B no caso de substratos 3-substituídos. A enzima HAPMO levou a reação de Baeyer-Villiger e a transformação da ligação C-B em todos os casos. Quando alquenos contendo boro foram utilizados como substratos, somente aqueles que continham uma porção fenila em sua estrutura foram oxidados por BVMOs. Em nenhum dos casos foi observada reação de epoxidação e todas as enzimas levaram a transformação da ligação C-B em C-O. Compostos quirais contendo boro foram submetidos a reações com as BVMOs na tentativa de transformação enantiosseletiva. PAMO e PAMO M446G foram as melhores enzimas levando, na maioria dos casos, a satisfatória oxidação dos substratos. Entretanto, somente um composto pôde ser oxidado com boa enantiosseletividade (e.e 82-91%). Compostos quirais contendo o átomo de selênio também foram alvos de estudo com BVMOs. Novamente a enzima PAMO se mostrou a melhor opção dentre as enzimas testadas e somente quando R2 e R1 = Ph houve boa enantiosseletividade na oxidação (e.e 97 %). / In this work we evaluated the selectivity (chemo or enantioselectivity) of four Baeyer-Villiger mono-oxigenases (BVMOS: PAMO, M446G PAMO, HAPMO and CHMO) in the presence of boron-containing or selenium-containing compounds. Initially, a series of boron-acetophenones were submitted to oxidation reactions mediated by BVMOs. The enzyme CHMO was chemoselective leading only to C-B bond transformation instead Baeyer-Villiger reaction. However, PAMO and PAMO M446G mediated both oxidations in 4-substituted substrates, and only the C-B transformation in 3-substituted substrates. The enzyme HAPMO leading to Baeyer- Villiger reaction and C-B transformation in all cases. When boron-containing alkenes were the substrates, only compounds with phenyl moiety in the structure were oxidized by BVMOs. It was observed only the C-B transformation and none of the epoxidation reaction. Chiral boron compounds were submitted to BVMOS mediated reactions in an attempt of enantioselective transformation. PAMO and M446G PAMO showed the best results leading, in most cases, to a satisfactory oxidation. However, only one compound was oxidized with great enantioselectivity (82-91% ee). Selenium-containing chiral compounds were also tested in reactions mediated by BVMOs. Again, PAMO showed the best results among BVMOs tested, but only when R2 e R1 = Ph the reaction occurred with great enantiosselectivity (97 % ee).

This thesis will deal with problems and solutions of cross-platform developing using MoNo framework as a replacement of Microsoft .NET framework on Linux and Mac OS-X platforms. It will take in account matters such as limitations in the filesystem to problems with deploying released programs. It will also deal with demands of precise timing and the need of efficient code on precise tasks to construct a program used for creating data from recordings of animals. These animals is set to perform a task, for example exploring a labyrinth or running on a rod, and it is all recorded on video. These videos are later reviewed by an observer which transcripts the recordings into data based on predefined behaviors and the time and frequency with which the animal is expressing them.

Au cours de la dernière décennie, les anticorps conjugués à des médicaments cytotoxiques ou des oligonucléotides ont acquis une grande attention dans la communauté scientifique en raison des propriétés uniques des anticorps, tels que leur long temps de circulation dans le sérum et leur sélectivité élevée par rapport à leur cible. Par exemple, les conjugués d'anticorps (ACs) sont de plus en plus appliqués en thérapie ciblée contre le cancer ou en bioimagerie. Par conséquent, le développement de méthodologies fiables pour la préparation des AC est actuellement en pleine expansion. Cependant, la conjugaison et la préparation contrôlables des ACs avec une structure définie rencontrent encore de nombreux obstacles en raison de l'excès élevé et de la variété des groupes réactifs dans la structure des anticorps, qui sont accessibles pour la conjugaison. En outre, les technologies de liaison actuelles sont basées sur la réaction de maléimide-thiol, produisant des adduits, qui sont instables dans le sang. Ce travail se concentre sur les approches chimiques pour la fonctionnalisation fiable des anticorps, qui permettent la préparation d'ACs stables présentant un ratio anticorps/principe actif bien défini. La première partie est consacrée à la conception et au développement du réactif maléimide-dioxane, solution auto-hydrolysable et stable dans le sérum, comme alternative à la chimie classique du maléimide. La deuxième partie est consacrée à l'évaluation de la réactivité sélective des différents acides aminés portés par les anticorps par spectrométrie de masse native à haute résolution. Finalement, une nouvelle technologie permettant d’obtenir des ACs stables avec un ratio anticorps/principe actif contrôlé est présentée au lecteur dans une 3ème partie. / Within the last decade, antibodies conjugated to cytotoxic drugs or oligonucleotides have gained a great attention in scientific community owing to the unique properties of the antibodies, such as their long circulation time in serum and high selectivity against their target. For instance, antibody conjugates (ACs) are increasingly applied for targeted cancer therapy or bioimaging. Consequently, the development of reliable methodologies for ACs preparation is currently of high demand. However, the controllable conjugation and preparation of ACs with defined structure are still challenging due to high excess and variety of reactive groups in antibody structure, which are accessible for conjugation. Moreover, current linker technologies are based on the maleimide-thiol reaction, yielding adducts, which are unstable during circulation in blood.This work is focused on chemical approaches for the reliable antibody functionalisation, which enable the preparation of stable ACs with well-defined payload to antibody ratios. The first part is devoted to design and development of maleimide-dioxane reagents as self-hydrolysable and serum-stable alternative to classical maleimide chemistry. The second part is dedicated to a screening approach for evaluation of residue-selective functionalities in reactions with an antibody using high resolution native mass spectrometry. Finally, in the third part the reader is introduced with a novel technology, which enables efficient preparation of stable ACs with a defined degree of conjugation and particularly mono-functionalisation of antibodies.

Hybrid composites forms an important field of research in the area of composite science and engineering as it gives the advantage of avoiding complex lay-up designs and provides better tuning compatibility to get desired properties in comparison with their mono-fiber counterpart. Further, utilization of composites for low temperature structures has been hindered by inconsistency of material property data and not much is reported on thermal characteristics of hybrid composites at cryogenic temperatures. This research work is focused on development of carbon-glass epoxy hybrid composite and to study the thermal behavior of these materials in comparison to its mono-fiber counterparts especially at cryogenic temperatures. The objectives are classified into the following three parts: Development of a hybrid composite with urethane modified epoxy matrix system (toughening agent used is Propyltrimethoxysilane (PTMO) and Toluene Di-Isocyanate (TDI) is added to get the polyurethane structure), for cryogenic applications. Study and understand the limitations and complexities of the experimental methodologies involved in evaluating the thermal properties of these materials namely thermal conductivity, coefficient of thermal expansion and specific heat. Finally to look into the appropriate theoretical calculations and experimental results to understand the variations, if any, for these materials. Specifically the following contributions are reported in this thesis: Evaluated the modified matrix system for its physical and mechanical properties at 20K. Specimens were prepared with D638 ASTM standard, modified to suit pin loading configuration in the cryostat/Instron machine. After assessing the suitability of the matrix system, mono fibre composites of different types were made and evaluated their thermal properties viz, coefficient of thermal expansion, thermal conductivity and specific heat down to 20K. Based on the results of the above, a hybrid composite configuration was evolved which exhibits optimal thermal characteristics at low temperatures and its characterization for various thermal properties at cryogenic temperatures was carried out. Comparisons of the experimental results were made with macro-mechanical model and micro-mechanical model (rule of mixtures) of composite materials. The present work throws light to the fact that hybrid polymer matrix composites can very well be considered for cryogenic applications where the combination or trade off between properties like strength to conductivity ratio, modulus to conductivity ratio and low cost is to be made. The mechanical properties of hybrid composites also need to be studied to complement the study on thermal properties reported in this thesis. It is essential to have a complete understanding of behaviour of these materials at cryogenic temperatures with respect to both thermal and mechanical properties as it is evident from the available literature that the emerging demands are multi-disciplinary in nature. The present research work is aimed at highlighting the use of hybrid composites to achieve the desirable thermal properties and thereby inviting the attention of scientists and engineers who are engaged in the design of cost effective structures and appliances for cryogenic environments to focus on further research to develop

The advent of transition metal catalysis has greatly expanded the scope of viable cycloaddition reactions, allowing for the direct synthesis of highly functionalized and complex biologically active compounds. By manipulating various aspects of catalyst structure, including the supporting ligands and the central metal, the function of a catalyst can be modified. In this context, the catalytic properties of dinuclear complexes have not been greatly explored in cycloaddition reactions. Our research has focused on studying the catalytic properties of dinuclear complexes in cycloaddition reactions. Comparative studies between dinuclear and mononuclear Ni-complexes led us to discover and develop an efficient route to synthesize 1,2,4-trisubstituted benzene derivatives from terminal alkynes. The key organometallic intermediates in this process were isolated, and computational studies were performed to unravel a novel bimetallic mechanism for alkyne cyclotrimerizations. As an extension of this study, we have found that the dinuclear catalyst is capable of catalyzing the methylenecyclopropanation of olefins. The reaction uses 1,1-dichloroalkene as a vinylidene precursor along with Zn as a stoichiometric reductant. A wide range of monosubstituted terminal alkenes and relatively unhindered internal alkenes are viable substrates. Furthermore, to understand the mechanism of vinylidene transfer, various stoichiometric and stereochemical experiments were performed. Furthermore, we discovered that mononuclear and dinuclear Ni-complexes are highly efficient in achieving vinylidene insertions into Si–H bonds to synthesize Si-containing heterocyclic molecules. Ongoing efforts are directed toward optimizing the reaction conditions and elucidating the substrate scope of the reaction.
