This study presents a new process to fabricate gapless triangular micro-lens array (GTMA). The process includes optical simulation with tracepro, UV lithography, photoresist reflow process, Ni electroplating and hot embossing technique. After photoresist triangular column array is defined using UV lithography, reflow process is applied to melt photoresist triangular column array into the shape of triangular micro-lens array. With this reflowed triangular micro-lens array, Ni is deposited and covered uniformly on the triangular micro-lens array using electroplating. The growth rate of Ni is controlled at electroplating current density of 1 Ampere Square Decimeter (ASD; A/dm2). After this electroplating process is finished, a mold of GTMA is obtained, which is served as primary mold. Subsequently, with passivation technique applied on this mold¡¦s surface, electroplating process is applied again to obtain a secondary mold. Next, this secondary mold is served as master for the subsequent hot embossing process to replicate the GTMA pattern onto polymeric material PMMA and PET sheet. The mold with stiffness and hardness plays an important role in GTMA hot embossing process. In addition, this GTMA used as optical film can offer a 100 % fill factor and a simulation of optical coupling efficiency of 66.7% to improve luminance of backlight module (BLM). In addition, this study presents the fabricated molds of GTMA with different aspect-ratio about 0.109 and 0.133. The optical measurement of BLM shows that this optical film of GTMA pattern with aspect-ratio about 0.109 can increase 15.1% of luminance and with aspect-ratio about 0.133 can increase 22.1% of luminance.

Since the early 1960s, Abrikosov-Gorkov theory has been used to describe superconductors with paramagnetic impurities. Interestingly, the density of states resulting from the theoretical framework has to date only been known approximately, as a numeric solution of a complex polynomial. An analytical solution to the theory was discovered and applied to extract the spin polarization from the tunneling conductance of superconducting aluminium with 3-dimensional (3-D) amorphous (a-) gadoliniumxsilicon1-x (GdxSi1-x) as a counter electrode (Al/Al2O3/a-GdxSi1-x planar tunnel junction measured at T = 25 mK and H less than or equal to 3.0 T) in the quantum critical regime (QCR). The analytical solution is valid in the whole regime of Abrikosov-Gorkov theory independent of the presence of an energy gap. Applying the spin polarized Abrikosov-Gorkov theory to describe aluminium gives a larger spin polarization in GdxSi1-x than the spin polarized Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) theory. The purpose of this study is to extract polarization at various applied magnetic fields, but no specific relationship between the two could be determined. Results obtained shows a transition from a superconductor with a gap to a gapless superconductor in varying external magnetic fields was observed. To improve understanding of GdxSi1-x near the metal-insulator transition (MIT) and compare it with prior work, the initial experimental attempts to investigate the transport property of GdxSi1-x near the MIT in the 2-dimensional limit are presented. A low temperature ultra high vacuum quench condensation system was used to make thin films of GdxSi1-x and in-situ measurements were performed. The transport properties for different values of x and thicknesses were measured for T = 4.2 K to ~10 K. In addition to other possible causes, the uncertainty in the electron impact emission spectroscopy (EIES) appeared to be a major reason behind the observed error in x when gadolinium and silicon are co-evaporated. The problems faced during the co-evaporation are also discussed.

Recently liquid-crystal display (LCD) has the highest output value and most popular usage of flat panel display in monitor. The advantage of LCD is low electric quantity consumption, light quantity and thin thickness. LCD has substituted for the traditional screen monitor. The back light module, color filter and actuation IC are three major cost structures in LCD. The optical film is the most used structure in back light module, which is used to increase brightness, luminate evenly the panel and prove illuminant efficiency. The liquid crystal does not irradiate, therefore, the back light module is accessory of liquid crystal display, especially the LCD has advanced the size over 60 inches dimensions. When the panel enhances its size, the cost of back light module correspondently increase, even achieve to 50%. The importance of back light module in LCD can be understood. This study is to develop an innovation of gapless compound polygonal micro-lens. The manufacturing process includes lithography, reflow, electroforming and hot embossing technologies. Also the TracePro software is applied to facilitate the design. LED is used as the illuminant without diaphragm simulation. It enables the optical film to achieve an optimum condition. Using the gap optical film, we need to apply 3~4 pieces in the back light module. When we use the gapless optical film to make film to increase largely the light efficiency, we expect to use 1~2 pieces in the back light module. In this case it can reduce the cost and promote the competition of the domestic manufacturer.

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / A SIMULINK simulation is presented for an air-gapless motor in this thesis. By considering magnetic saturation effect, four materials are compared and discussed in Chapter three.

<div>Nowadays, electrical motors are widely used in the automotive industry because of their high efficiency and lossless characteristics. One downside is that the system is complicated to control and it requires more complex control strategies. Moreover, compared to other motors, electrical motors produce less torque, which limits its capability.</div><div><br></div><div>Therefore, in this thesis, an air-gapless electric motor is presented. Instead of having a static air gaps between the rotor and the stator, the gap changes dynamically creating contact which generates higher torques. A SIMULINK simulation method is used for this motor in order to show the systems dynamic behaviors.</div><div><br></div><div>Five blocks are used in the system: the block to nd phase currents, the block to find phase torque, the block to find self-inductance, the block to obtain mechanical speed of the motor and the block to simulate the saturation effect. These blocks are developed based on the analytical relationships between components, which are shown in Chapter two.</div><div><br></div><div>Moreover, saturation effect in the iron cores is taken into consideration in this thesis due to the fact that it always effects the shape of the magnetic eld curves. And four different materials are discussed and compared in Chapter three. The findings in this chapter is that carbon steel and silicon steel serve as better materials of the rotor in the air-gapless motor than soft ferrite and nickel steel because they tend to have higher torques under same levels of the currents and they have larger torque stability regions.</div><div><br></div><div><div>As for Chapter four, a current control strategy is proposed with an inverter, this could simulate the current controller in a real application. Trial and error PID controller tuning method is discussed in Chapter four.</div></div>
