Die Arbeit untersucht die Position der Öffentlichen Bibliotheken im Bibliotheksfeld der Bundesrepublik Deutschland. Den theoretischen Rahmen bildet die Theorie der sozialen Felder von Pierre Bourdieu. Dargestellt werden zunächst die Außengrenzen des Bibliotheksfeldes sowie seine administrative Verortung. Es folgen professionssoziologische Aspekte, insbesondere die Verbands- und Ausbildungsstruktur. Der Schwerpunkt liegt dabei auf der Binnengliederung des Feldes und seiner historischen Spartentrennung in „wissenschaftliche“ und „Öffentliche“ Bibliotheken. Dazu gehören eine Untersuchung der technisch-administrativen Infrastruktur und der ideologischen Verortung der Öffentlichen Bibliotheken. Die Kapitalbinnenstruktur des Feldes wird anhand von Daten der Deutschen Bibliotheksstatistik analysiert. Den Hauptteil der Arbeit bildet eine empirische Untersuchung der Diskursstruktur anhand einer quantitativen Analyse von 7.159 Aufsätzen, Vorträgen und Beiträgen zu Mailinglisten, die den allgemeinen bibliothekarischen Fachdiskurs in den Jahren 1964 bis 2016 abbilden. Aus dieser Untersuchung werden Schlüsse auf die informelle Feldstruktur unterhalb der Institutionenebene gezogen. Weitere Ergebnisse betreffen die genderspezifische Arbeitsteilung und die ideologische und kapitalbezogene Position der Öffentlichen Bibliotheken im Bibliotheksfeld. / The dissertation examines the position of public libraries in the library “field” (as described by Pierre Bourdieu) of the Federal Republic of Germany. This includes the outer borders of the field and the administrative position of libraries as well as sociological aspects such as the structure of professional associations and formal qualifications. A focus lies on the historical division between “research” and “public” libraries. This includes an analysis of technical and administrative infrastructure as well as different ideologies. An analysis of the German Library Statistics investigates the capital-based substructure of the field. The main empirical work consists of an analysis of the structure of the professional discourse between 1964 and 2016, i.e. a quantitative analysis of 7.159 articles, conference papers and e-mail-posts that cover the main part of the national professional discourse. This allows conclusions about the informal structure of the field underneath the institutional level. Further results refer to the gender-specific division of labour and the ideological and resource-based position of public libraries in the library field.

In dieser Dissertation werden die Repräsentationen von Kulturtransfer in zeitgenössischen britischen Romanen untersucht (Monica Ali: Brick Lane (2003), Nadeem Aslam: Maps For Lost Lovers (2004), Gautam Malkani: Londonstani (2007) und Maggie Gee: The White Family (2002)). Für die Analyse der Begegnungen und Kulturtransferprozesse werden narratologische Analysekategorien mit denen der Kulturtransferanalyse verknüpft. Neben den textimmanenten Aspekten werden außerdem die Produktions- und Rezeptionskontexte der Romane mitberücksichtigt. Dazu gehören u.a. auch das Buchmarketing und Buchumschlagdesign sowie Rezensionen und öffentliche Reaktionen auf die Romane. Mit diesem Instrumentarium werden z.B. folgende Fragen untersucht: Wie werden Begegnungen und Austauschprozesse repräsentiert und bewertet? Welche Gründe für Aneignung oder Abschottung werden formuliert? In diesem Kontext konzentriert sich die Arbeit auf die Repräsentation von Mediatorinnen und Mediatoren, Kontaktzonen und -situationen, Machtstrukturen sowie Selektions- und Ablehnungsprozesse. Außerdem wird untersucht, mit welchen ästhetischen Mitteln die Austauschprozesse gestaltet werden, beispielsweise durch die Untersuchung der Plotmuster und der Charakterisierungen auf Stereotype hin. und welche Effekte dies bewirkt. Die Analysen haben ergeben, dass Kulturtransfer als erstrebenswert bewertet wird. Gleichzeitig findet aber oft nur Assimilierung statt und kein reziproker Austausch auf Augenhöhe. Die ausgewählten Romane setzen sich vorwiegend mit Hindernissen des interkulturellen Austauschs auseinander. Besonders häufig werden in diesem Kontext Gründe wie mangelnde Bereitschaft, mangelnde Bildung und extremistische (religiöse) Ansichten der Einwandererfamilien angeführt. Die Romane verstetigen Stereotype, die dem Lesepublikum bereits aus vielen Massenmedien vertraut sind, u.a. durch entwicklungsresistente Charaktere, typisiert als ungebildete und unverbesserliche Migranten, die Parallelgesellschaften entwerfen. / This thesis analyses representations of cultural exchange in contemporary British novels in the context of migration and the British literary field. It offers a multilayered approach: the combination of cultural exchange theory and its categories with narratological tools do justice to the aesthetic side of the novels as well as their socio-political and historical contexts that are particularly relevant for novels dealing with migration. Cultural exchange theory analyses appropriation and transformation processes, i.e. how the concepts, cultural practices as well as representations change when they are transferred into a different cultural context. Furthermore, this thesis takes into consideration that all novels exist as material objects within a literary field that is affected by editors, marketing people, reviewers, and other agents. The results support the following theses: Contact and exchange are implicitly and explicitly depicted as something positive, with two of the novels emphasising the virtues of selective appropriation. However, the exchange processes mainly work in one direction only and contact between (British) Asian and (white) British characters is limited. The blame for this is often put on the immigrants and their families. The selected texts focus on obstacles and conflicts in exchange processes without offering solutions to the conflicts. In this context, religion or religious fervour along with a lack of education are most often depicted as the main obstacle for reciprocal cultural exchange. The aesthetic means employed are analysed as well as their effects, e.g. whether form and content reinforce each other or produce contradictions. Finally, the thesis shows which novels deconstruct and contradict existing stereotypes and which ones are complicit in reproducing them. Primary texts: Monica Ali’s Brick Lane (2003), Nadeem Aslam’s Maps for Lost Lovers (2004), Gautam Malkani’s Londonstani (2006) and Maggie Gee’s The White Family (2002).

Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht den Nationalpreis für Literatur („Premio Nacional de Literatura“) in Chile, der 1942 ins Leben gerufen wurde und mit welchem bis 2014 48 männliche und 4 weibliche Autoren prämiert wurden. Sein Bestehen über mehr als sieben Jahrzehnte und seine offizielle feierliche Verleihung hat durchgehend die Aufmerksamkeit des chilenischen literarischen Feldes erregt und bot im gleichen Zuge einen öffentlicher Anlass, den Wert der Literatur auf verschiedenen Ebenen neu zu denken und zu diskutieren. Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit ist, ausgehend von dieser vielseitigen Diskussion eine Analyse der Inhalte und Grundlagen der Debatte über den Stellenwert von Literatur und von SchriftstellerInnen sowie deren Veränderungen in Chile vorzunehmen. Die Arbeit ist diachronisch angelegt und basiert auf der Sammlung und Kategorisierung offizieller Berichte, individueller Aussagen und öffentlicher Debatten, die alljährlich rund um die Vergabe des Nationalpreises publik werden. Die Ergebnisse der Forschungsarbeit zeigen, dass seit den 1940er Jahren in Chile Literatur tendenziell anhand der politisch-ethischen Position der AutorInnen astatt der Ästhetik der Texte bewertet wurde. Das heißt, in den meisten Fällen wurde ein Autor anhand seines gesellschaftlichen Engagements anstatt der Qualität seiner Texte ausgewählt. Dieser Sachverhalt erklärt sich durch die große Bedeutung, die der chilenische Staat bis heute als Plattform für Finanzierung, Ausbildung und Förderung künstlerischer Werdegänge, inne hat. / The present dissertation investigates the Chilean National Prize for Literature ("Premio Nacional de Literatura"), founded in 1942, which has been awarded to 48 male and 4 female authors to date. Its existence for more than seven decades and the solemnity of the official award ceremonies has attracted the attention of the Chilean literary field, offering a public occasion and forum to rethink and discuss the value of literature on different levels. The main objective of this research is to present and analyze the arguments that were used in this context to explain why writers and literature are important. The dissertation is diachronic and based on the collection and categorization of official reports, individual statements, and public debates, which were held annually around the awarding of the national prize between 1942 and 2014. The results of this investigation show that, since the 1940s, the arguments used to talk about the importance and value of literature tended to give more importance to the political-ethical profile of the writers, rather than an esthetic dimension. This means that in most of the cases writers were valued for their social engagement rather than the quality of their books. This has happened because of the State’s importance both as financial source for Chilean writers and as network for the development of their intellectual and artistic careers. / La presente investigación está dedicada al Premio Nacional de Literatura en Chile, fundado el año 1942 y que, hasta el año 2014, condecoró a 48 escritores y 4 escritoras. Su fundación hace más de 7 décadas, y su entrega y ceremonia oficiales han logrado concentrar año a año la atención del medio literario chileno, ofreciendo de paso una instancia pública y periódica donde discutir y reflexionar en torno al valor de la literatura y los escritores. El objetivo de esta investigación es, a partir de la organización y análisis de estas discusiones, presentar los argumentos que han fundado un discurso sobre la importancia de la literatura en Chile, y explicar cómo es que esos fundamentos se han transformado. La estructura de este trabajo es diacrónica y se basa en la exposición y categorización de los motivos recogidos en reportes oficiales, declaraciones de los escritores y la diversidad de artículos de prensa surgidos a propósito de la entrega del Premio Nacional. Los resultados de esta pesquisa informan que en el medio cultural chileno desde los años ’40 en adelante los criterios de valoración de lo literario tendieron a privilegiar la dimensión político-ética de los escritores, antes que la estética; es decir, que en la mayoría de los casos se les valoró por su compromiso social, antes que por la calidad de sus obras. Esto, a su vez, se ha explicado por la importancia que el Estado ha tenido hasta el día de hoy como plataforma de financiamiento, formación y acción para las carreras artísticas y literarias en Chile.

In geotechnical engineering, the uncertainties such as the variability and uncertainty inherent in the geotechnical properties have caught more and more attentions from researchers and engineers. They have found that a single “Factor of Safety” calculated by traditional deterministic analyses methods can not represent the slope stability exactly. Recently in order to provide a more rational mathematical framework to incorporate different types of uncertainties in the slope stability estimation, reliability analyses and non-deterministic methods, which include probabilistic and non probabilistic (imprecise methods) methods, have been applied widely. In short, the slope non-deterministic analysis is to combine the probabilistic analysis or non probabilistic analysis with the deterministic slope stability analysis. It cannot be regarded as a completely new slope stability analysis method, but just an extension of the slope deterministic analysis. The slope failure probability calculated by slope non-deterministic analysis is a kind of complement of safety factor. Therefore, the accuracy of non deterministic analysis is not only depended on a suitable probabilistic or non probabilistic analysis method selected, but also on a more rigorous deterministic analysis method or geological model adopted. In this thesis, reliability concepts have been reviewed first, and some typical non-deterministic methods, including Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS), First Order Reliability Method (FORM), Point Estimate Method (PEM) and Random Set Theory (RSM), have been described and successfully applied to the slope stability analysis based on a numerical simulation method-Strength Reduction Method (SRM). All of the processes have been performed in a commercial finite difference code FLAC and a distinct element code UDEC. First of all, as the fundamental of slope reliability analysis, the deterministic numerical simulation method has been improved. This method has a higher accuracy than the conventional limit equilibrium methods, because of the reason that the constitutive relationship of soil is considered, and fewer assumptions on boundary conditions of slope model are necessary. However, the construction of slope numerical models, particularly for the large and complicated models has always been very difficult and it has become an obstacle for application of numerical simulation method. In this study, the excellent spatial analysis function of Geographic Information System (GIS) technique has been introduced to help numerical modeling of the slope. In the process of modeling, the topographic map of slope has been gridded using GIS software, and then the GIS data was transformed into FLAC smoothly through the program built-in language FISH. At last, the feasibility and high efficiency of this technique has been illustrated through a case study-Xuecheng slope, and both 2D and 3D models have been investigated. Subsequently, three most widely used probabilistic analyses methods, Monte Carlo Simulation, First Order Reliability Method and Point Estimate Method applied with Strength Reduction Method have been studied. Monte Carlo Simulation which needs to repeat thousands of deterministic analysis is the most accurate probabilistic method. However it is too time consuming for practical applications, especially when it is combined with numerical simulation method. For reducing the computation effort, a simplified Monte Carlo Simulation-Strength Reduction Method (MCS-SRM) has been developed in this study. This method has estimated the probable failure of slope and calculated the mean value of safety factor by means of soil parameters first, and then calculated the variance of safety factor and reliability of slope according to the assumed probability density function of safety factor. Case studies have confirmed that this method can reduce about 4/5 of time compared with traditional MCS-SRM, and maintain almost the same accuracy. First Order Reliability Method is an approximate method which is based on the Taylor\'s series expansion of performance function. The closed form solution of the partial derivatives of the performance function is necessary to calculate the mean and standard deviation of safety factor. However, there is no explicit performance function in numerical simulation method, so the derivative expressions have been replaced with equivalent difference quotients to solve the differential quotients approximately in this study. Point Estimate Method is also an approximate method involved even fewer calculations than FORM. In the present study, it has been integrated with Strength Reduction Method directly. Another important observation referred to the correlation between the soil parameters cohesion and friction angle. Some authors have found a negative correlation between cohesion and friction angle of soil on the basis of experimental data. However, few slope probabilistic studies are found to consider this negative correlation between soil parameters in literatures. In this thesis, the influence of this correlation on slope probability of failure has been investigated based on numerical simulation method. It was found that a negative correlation considered in the cohesion and friction angle of soil can reduce the variability of safety factor and failure probability of slope, thus increasing the reliability of results. Besides inter-correlation of soil parameters, these are always auto-correlated in space, which is described as spatial variability. For the reason that knowledge on this character is rather limited in literature, it is ignored in geotechnical engineering by most researchers and engineers. In this thesis, the random field method has been introduced in slope numerical simulation to simulate the spatial variability structure, and a numerical procedure for a probabilistic slope stability analysis based on Monte Carlo simulation was presented. The soil properties such as cohesion and friction angle were discretized to continuous random fields based on local averaging method. In the case study, both stationary and non-stationary random fields have been investigated, and the influence of spatial variability and averaging domain on the convergence of numerical simulation and probability of failure was studied. In rock medium, the structure faces have very important influence on the slope stability, and the rock material can be modeled as the combination of rigid or deformable blocks with joints in distinct element method. Therefore, much more input parameters like strength of joints are required to input the rock slope model, which increase the uncertainty of the results of numerical model. Furthermore, because of the limitations of the current laboratory and in-site testes, there is always lack of exact values of geotechnical parameters from rock material, even the probability distribution of these variables. Most of time, engineers can only estimate the interval of these variables from the limit testes or the expertise’s experience. In this study, to assess the reliability of the rock slope, a Random Set Distinct Element Method (RS-DEM) has been developed through coupling of Random Set Theory and Distinct Element Method, and applied in a rock slope in Sichuan province China.

Die für technische Anwendungen attraktivsten Eigenschaften der Hochtemperatur-Supraleiter beruhen auf der Wechselwirkung der Materialien mit einem externen Magnetfeld. Für hochleistungsfähige Supraleiteranwendungen werden großvolumige Funktionselemente mit eindomänigem Magnetisierungsverhalten benötigt. Zur Vergrößerung der magnetischen Domäne schmelztexturierter YBa2Cu3O7-δ-Kompaktsupraleiter wurde anhand der Multi-Seeding-Technik, die Rekristallisation unter Verwendung mehrerer SmBa2Cu3O7-δ-Keimpräparate untersucht. Als Schlüsseltechnologie zur Herstellung anwendungsorientierter Supraleitererzeugnisse wurde zu Beginn der Arbeit die Keimkristallherstellung optimiert. Gemäß den Zielvorgaben stehen zukünftig quasi-einkristalline Keimkörper definierter Form und Orientierung in hoher Stückzahl zur Verfügung. Die Supraleiter betreffend ist es gelungen, für den wechselseitigen Abstand und die Ausrichtung der Keimpräparate ein Optimum zu finden sowie tolerierbare Winkel der Verschwenkung angrenzender Kristalle zu ermitteln. Es wurde festgestellt, dass das Auftreten isolierender Korngrenzeneinschlüsse mit den magnetischen Materialeigenschaften korreliert und vom Keimabstand und der Korngrenzenorientierung abhängig ist. Mit Einsatz von bis zu 16 Keimkristallen gelang es, eindomänige Supraleiterhalbzeuge mit Höchstmaßen von (79 x 39 x 20) mm3 und Remanenzflussdichten von bis zu 1,3 T zu erzeugen. Im Chargenprozess konnten abschließend Multi-Seeding-Funktionselemente mit anwendungskonformen geometrischen und magnetischen Materialeigenschaften zum Aufbau eines hochdynamischen Supraleitermotors reproduzierbar gefertigt werden. In Leistungstests wurde für die Dynamik des Motors mit 200.000 rpm/s ein Rekordwert erzielt – nun können die Motoren in der Anwendung erprobt werden.

Das Familienstellen, das Stellen von Familienkonstellationen, das auch als System- Aufstellung bezeichnet wird, stellt ein therapeutisches Verfahren dar, das seit den 1970er Jahren immer mehr Zuspruch und Anwendung in der Psychiatrie findet und inzwischen auch in Unternehmen eingesetzt wird, um Entscheidungen in komplexen Situationen und in sich permanent wandelnden Kontexten zu treffen oder den Sand im Getriebe ausfindig zu machen, der die Betriebsabläufe stört. Der vielfach angemerkte Erfolg des Familienstellens bringt die Herausforderung von wissenschaftlichen Erklärungen mit sich, wobei in diesem Beitrag Vorschläge gemacht werden, die sich vor allem in der Quantenphysik umschauen und bei der Epigenetik bedienen. Es gehört zu den spannenden Fragen der Gegenwart, wie man „Von der Quantenphysik zum Bewusstsein“ und damit zu den Einflüssen der Familienkonstellation auf den Einzelnen in der Gruppe kommt. Eine wichtige Rolle spielt dabei das Konzept der Energie, deren Eigenschaft, unzerstörbar zu sein, mehr Aufmerksamkeit im humanen Bereich verdient, als ihr bisher zugestanden wird.

Ever since their discovery in 1991, carbon nanotubes are of great interest to the scientific community due to their outstanding optical, mechanical and electrical properties. Considering their impressive properties, as for instance the high current carrying capability and the possibility of ballistic charge transport, carbon nanotubes are a desired channel material in field-effect transistors, especially with respect to high frequency communication electronics. Thus, many scientific studies on CNT-based field-effect transistors have been published so far. But despite the successful verification of excellent individual electric key values, corresponding experiments are mostly performed under synthetic conditions (considering e.g. temperature or gas atmosphere), which are not realizable during realistic application scenarios. Furthermore, technologically relevant factors like homogeneity, reproducibility and yield of functioning devices are often subordinated to the achievement of a single electric record value. Hence, this work focuses on the development of a fabrication technology for carbon nanotube field-effect transistors, that takes those factors into account. Thereby, this work expands the state of the art by introduction and statistical assessment of two cleaning processes: a) wet chemical removal of surfactant residues (sodium dodecylsulfate) from CNTs, integrated using the dielectrophoretic approach, by investigation and comparison of four procedures (de-ionized water, HNO3, oDCB, Ethanol); b) the reduction of process-related substrate contaminations by application of an oxygen plasma. Beyond that, the passivation of the final, working devices is developed further, as their typical definition as diffusion barrier is expanded by the reduction of parasitic capacitances in the transistor. In this context, two so far barely considered materials, hydrogen silsesquioxane and Xdi-dcs, a polymer mixture of poly(vinylphenol) and polymethylsilsesquioxane, are investigated and assessed. The novelty of the Xdi-dcs mixture causes the necessity of fundamental considerations on controllable etching procedures and resulting adaptions of the technological fabrication sequence.:Bibliographic description 3 List of abbreviations 10 List of symbols 10 1 Introduction 13 2 Basics of carbon nanotubes 15 2.1 Structural fundamentals 15 2.1.1 Hybridization of carbon 15 2.1.2 Structure of carbon nanotubes 17 2.2 Electronic properties 19 2.2.1 Band structure of graphene 19 2.2.2 Band structure of carbon nanotubes 20 2.2.3 Electronic transport in CNTs 22 2.3 Procedures for CNT integration 23 2.3.1 Growth by chemical vapor deposition 24 2.3.2 Transfer techniques 24 2.3.3 Dispersion-related integration procedures 25 2.4 Interaction of CNT and surfactant 28 3 Basics of CNT field-effect transistors 31 3.1 Principle of operation of conventional FETs 31 3.2 Distinctive features of CNT-based FETs 32 3.2.1 Metal - semiconductor contact 33 3.2.2 Linearity 38 3.3 Performance determining factors 41 3.3.1 Device architecture 41 3.3.2 Contact geometry 46 3.3.3 Other transistor dimensions 48 3.3.4 CNT-related characteristics 49 3.4 Hysteresis in transfer characteristics 51 3.4.1 Definition of hysteresis 51 3.4.2 Origins of hysteresis 52 3.4.3 Appearance of hysteresis 53 3.5 Passivation 56 3.5.1 Requirements 56 3.5.2 Importance of pre-treatments and process conditions 57 3.5.3 Overview of established passivation materials 58 4 Experimental work 63 4.1 Transistor design 63 4.2 Technology flow 66 4.3 Experimental procedures 71 4.3.1 Procedures for dissolution of SDS 71 4.3.2 Plasma treatment against surface contaminations 72 4.3.3 Evaluation of diffusion barriers 72 4.4 Instrumentation and characterization 74 4.4.1 Dielectrophoresis instrumentation 74 4.4.2 Topographical Characterization 74 4.4.3 Chemical characterization 75 4.4.4 Electrical characterization 76 5 Reduction of hysteresis 77 5.1 Removal of surfactant molecules from CNTs 77 5.1.1 Influence on molecule and CNT chemistry 78 5.1.2 Effect on transistor performance 80 5.2 Plasma-assisted removal of substrate contaminations 87 5.2.1 Influence on substrate surface 88 5.2.2 Effect on transistor performance 92 6 Passivation 97 6.1 Protection against environmental effects 97 6.1.1 Alterability of unpassivated CNT-FETs 98 6.1.2 Effects of O2 exclusion by dense passivation 99 6.1.3 Intentional doping using Y2O3 101 6.2 Passivation considering electrostatic aspects 106 6.2.1 Integration of Xdi-dcs as novel passivation 107 6.2.2 Comparison of two spin-coated dielectrics 111 6.3 Potential of double-layer approaches 113 6.3.1 Evaluation of the gas barrier performance 113 6.3.2 Influence on the transistor behavior 116 7 Summary and Outlook 121 Danksagung 127 Appendix 129 Bibliography 137 List of figures 156 List of tables 161 Selbstständigkeitserklärung 163 8 Thesen 165 9 Curriculum vitae 169 / Bereits seit ihrer Entdeckung 1991 sind Kohlenstoffnanoröhren, aufgrund ihrer herausragenden optischen, mechanischen und elektrischen Eigenschaften, für die wissenschaftliche Community von großem Interesse. Ihre Verwendung als Kanalmaterial in Feld-Effekt Transistoren ist in Anbetracht ihrer außergewöhnlichen Eigenschaften, wie z. B. die hohe Stromtragfähigkeit, sowie die Möglichkeit des ballistischen Transports von Ladungsträgern besonders für die hochfrequente Kommunikationselektronik erstrebenswert. Dementsprechend viele wissenschaftliche Arbeiten befassen sich mit der Erforschung von auf Kohlenstoffnanoröhren basierenden Transistoren. Doch trotz des erfolgreichen Nachweises ausgezeichneter Werte für viele individuelle elektrische Kenngrößen, finden entsprechenden Experimente zumeist unter anwendungsfernen Bedingungen bezüglich Temperatur bzw. Gasatmosphäre statt. Darüber hinaus werden dem Erreichen eines elektrischen Rekordwertes oft technologisch relevante Größen wie Homogenität, Reproduzierbarkeit und Ausbeute an funktionsfähigen Bauteilen untergeordnet. Der Fokus dieser Arbeit liegt daher auf der Erarbeitung einer Technologie zur Herstellung Kohlenstoffnanoröhrenbasierter Feld-Effekt Transistoren, unter Berücksichtigung dieser Aspekte. Dabei erweitert diese Arbeit den Stand der Technik durch die Einführung und statistische Beurteilung zweier Reinigungsprozesse: a) der nasschemischen Beseitigung von Tensidresten (Natriumdodecylsulfat) an mittels Dielektrophorese integrierten CNTs, wobei insgesamt vier Prozeduren (de-ionisiertes Wasser, HNO3, oDCB, Ethanol) betrachtet und miteinander verglichen wurden; b) der Beseitigung von prozessbedingten Substratkontaminationen durch ein Sauerstoffplasma. Darüber hinaus wird die Passivierung der funktionsfähigen Bauelemente weiterentwickelt, indem ihre typische Definition als Diffusionsbarriere um den Aspekt der Verringerung parasitärer Kapazitäten im Transistor erweitert wird. In diesem Zusammenhang werden mit Wasserstoff-Silsesquioxane und Xdi-dcs, einem Polymergemisch aus Poly(vinylphenol) und Polymethylsilsesquioxane, zwei bislang wenig beachtete Materialien, untersucht und bewertet.

Die Anwenung von Operator-Splitting-Methoden auf gewöhnliche Differentialgleichungen ist gut etabliert. Für Differential-algebraische Gleichungen und partielle Differential-algebraische Gleichungen unterliegt sie jedoch vielen Einschränkungen aufgrund des Vorhandenseins von Nebenbedingungen. Die räumliche Diskretisierung reduziert PDAEs und lenkt unseren Fokus auf das Konzept der DAEs. Um eine reibungslose Übertragung des Operator-Splittings von ODEs auf DAEs durchzuführen, ist es wichtig, eine geeignete entkoppelte Struktur für das gewünschte Differential-algebraische System zu haben. In dieser Arbeit betrachten wir ein Modell, das partielle Differentialgleichungen für elektromagnetische Bauelemente - modelliert durch die Maxwell-Gleichungen - mit Differential-algebraischen Gleichungen koppelt, die die elementaren Schaltungselemente beschreiben. Nach der räumlichen Diskretisierung der klassischen Formulierung der Maxwell-Gleichungen mit Hilfe der finiten Integrationstechnik formulieren wir das resultierende gekoppelte System als Differential-algebraische Gleichung. Um eine geeignete Entkopplung zu bekommen, verwenden wir den zweigorientierten Loop-Cutset-Ansatz für die Schaltungsmodellierung. Daraus folgt, dass wir in der Lage sind, eine geeignete Operatorzerlegung so zu konstruieren, dass wir eine natürliche topologisch entkoppelte Port-Hamiltonsche DAE-Struktur erhalten. Wir schlagen einen Operator-Splitting-Ansatz für die Schaltungs-DAEs und gekoppelten Feld-Schaltungs-DAEs in entkoppelter Form vor und analysieren seine numerischen Eigenschaften. Darüber hinaus nutzen wir das Hamiltonsche Verhalten der inhärenten gewöhnlichen Differentialgleichung durch die Verwendung expliziter und energieerhaltender Zeitintegrations-methoden. Schließlich führen wir numerische Tests, um das mathematische Modell zu illustrieren und die Konvergenzergebnisse für das vorgeschlagene DAE-Operator-Splitting zu demonstrieren. / Le equazioni algebriche differenziali e algebriche alle derivate parziali hanno avuto un enorme successo come modelli di sistemi dinamici vincolati. Nella modellazione matem- atica, spesso si desidera catturare diversi aspetti di una situazione come le leggi di conservazione della fisica, il trasporto convettivo o la diffusione. Queste aspetti si riflettono nel sistema di equazioni del modello come operatori diversi. La tecnica dell’Operator Splitting si è rivelata una strategia di successo per affrontare problemi così complicati. L’applicazione dei metodi di Operator Splitting alle equazioni differenziali ordinarie (ODE) è ormai una tecnologia ben consolidata. Tuttavia, per equazioni algebriche differenziali (DAE) e algebriche differenziali parziali (PDAE), l’approccio è soggetto a molte restrizioni dovute alla presenza di vincoli e alla proprietà di indice. La discretizzazione spaziale riduce le PDAE e indirizza la nostra attenzione al concetto di DAE. Le DAE emergono in problemi dinamici vincolati come circuiti elettrici o reti di trasporto di energia. Al fine di generalizzare agevolmente la tecnica dell’Operator Splitting dalle ODE alle DAE, è importante avere una struttura disaccoppiata adeguata per il sistema algebrico differenziale desiderato. In questa tesi, consideriamo un modello che accoppia equazioni differenziali alle derivate parziali per dispositivi elettromagnetici -modellati dalle equazioni di Maxwell- con equazioni algebriche differenziali che descrivono gli elementi base del circuito. Dopo aver discretizzato spazialmente la formulazione classica delle equazioni di Maxwell usando la tecnica di integrazione finita, formuliamo il sistema accoppiato risultante come una equazione algebrica differenziale. Interpretando il dispositivo elettromagnetico come un elemento capacitivo, l’indice dell’intero sistema di circuito e campo accoppiato può essere specificato utilizzando le proprietà topologiche del circuito e non supera il valore di due. Per eseguire un disaccoppiamento appropriato, utilizziamo l’approccio loop-cutset per la modellazione dei circuiti. In tal modo siamo in grado di costruire una opportuna decomposizione dell’operatore tale da ottenere una naturale struttura disaccoppiata port-Hamiltonian DAE. Proponiamo un approccio di suddivisione dell’operatore per i DAE a circuito disaccoppiato e a circuito di campo accoppiato utilizzando gli algoritmi di divisione Lie-Trotter e Strang e per analizzare le proprietà numeriche di questi sistemi. Inoltre, sfruttiamo il comportamento hamiltoniano del sistema di equazioni differenziali ordinarie mediante l’utilizzo di metodi di integrazione temporale con esatta conservazione dell’energia. Poggiando sull’analisi di convergenza del metodo di suddivisione dell’operatore ODE, deriviamo i risultati di convergenza per l’approccio proposto che dipendono dall’indice delsistema e quindi dalla sua struttura topologica. Infine, eseguiamo prove numeriche di sistemi circuitali, nonchè sistemi accoppiati a circuito di campo, per testare il modello matematico e dimostrare i risultati di convergenza per la proposta Operator Splitting DAE. / The application of operator splitting methods to ordinary differential equations (ODEs) is well established. However, for differential-algebraic equations (DAEs) and partial differential-algebraic equations (PDAEs), it is subjected to many restrictions due to the presence of constraints. In constrained dynamical problems as electrical circuits or energy transport networks, DAEs arise. In order to perform a smooth transfer of the operator splitting from ODEs to DAEs, it is important to have a suitable decoupled structure for the desired differential-algebraic system. In this thesis, we consider a model which couples partial differential equations for electro- magnetic devices -modeled by Maxwell’s equations- with differential-algebraic equations describing the basic circuit elements. After spatially discretizing the classical formulation of Maxwell’s equations using the finite integration technique, we formulate the resulting coupled system as a differential-algebraic equation. To perform an appropriate decoupling, we use the branch oriented loop-cutset approach for circuit modeling. It follows that we are able to construct a suitable operator decomposition such that we obtain a natural topologically decoupled port-Hamiltonian DAE structure. We propose an operator splitting approach for the decoupled circuit and coupled field- circuit DAEs using the Lie-Trotter and Strang splitting algorithms and analyze its numerical properties. Furthermore, we exploit the Hamiltonian behavior of the system’s inherent ordinary differential equation by the utilization of explicit and energy-preserving time integration methods. Based on the convergence analysis of the ODE operator splitting method, we derive convergence results for the proposed approach that depends on the index of the system and thus on its topological structure. Finally, we perform numerical tests, to underline the mathematical model and to demonstrate the convergence results for the proposed DAE operator splitting.
