The safety of miners is of interest to all countries. In the event of a coal mine disaster, how to locate the miners remains the biggest and most urgent issue. The aim of this study is to propose a precise positioning method for underground mine environments to a low cost and with acceptable accuracy. During the research work, in-depth learning and analysis of current geolocation methods for indoor areas have been carried out: advantages, disadvantages and the level of suitability of each method for mine environment have been presented. A layered two-step Hidden Markov Model has been proposed to simulate human walking in underground mine environments and an improved Viterbi algorithm suitable for the model has been implemented. The result of the positioning accuracy is quite satisfying compared to other positioning methods in the same category. A small modification to the proposed model has been illustrated in the future work which makes it more suitable for different situations rather than that limited by assumptions. The proposed positioning method can be claimed to be quite suitable for underground mine environments to a low cost and with acceptable accuracy.

Les matériaux hybrides organiques-inorganiques forment une classe de systèmes dans lesquels plusieurs types de molécules organiques peuvent être insérées au sein d'une structure dite d’accueil, souvent de nature inorganique. C'est dans ce contexte que s'inscrit notre étude théorique de ces matériaux, utilisant les méthodes de la théorie de la fonctionnelle de la densité (DFT), jointes aux techniques de dynamique moléculaire (MD) dans l'approche dite de dynamique moléculaire ab initio. Nous avons développé un protocole permettant d'étudier l'évolution des propriétés de matériaux hybrides spécifiques sous l'effet de stimuli extérieurs comme la pression ou la température. Nous effectuons une étude théorique d’un matériau de référence dans la chimie des matériaux hybrides lamellaires: l'hydroxyde acétate de cuivre Cu2 (OH)3 (CH3 COO). Nous avons obtenu une transition d’un état antiferromagnétique à un état ferromagnétique sous l’effet d’une pression proche de 2 GPa, en bon accord avec la valeur expérimentale (1,2 GPa). Ensuite, nous appliquons ces méthodes à l’étude de nouveaux matériaux hybrides lamellaires simples contenant des molécules de fluorènes mono- et di- phosphoniques. / Ab-initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) refers to a set of state-of-the-art computational methods combining molecular dynamics with density functional theory. It is the basis of what could be called a «Virtual laboratory approach». In this work, we use the Car-Parrinello Molecular Dynamics (CPMD) scheme for investigating the properties of Copper Hydroxide Acetate system, a typical organic-inorganic hybrid material. We determine the corresponding atomic structure as well as several of its chemical and magnetic properties. Recent experimental achievements provide accurate XRD measurements enabling the study of magneto-structural properties of Cu2 (OH)3 (CH3 COO). compound. The pressure-induced magnetic transition, observed experimentally (at 1,2 GPa) in this material has been successfully reproduced (close to 2 GPa), thereby, highlighting the role of structural optimizations in theoretical treatments of such materials. Our aim is to elucidate the complex interplay between structural properties, interfacial inte r facial chemistry and magnetic behaviors of various nanoscale structured materials both at the local (atomic) and bulk (crystal) levels. We focus on copper hydroxide-based hybrid materials spanning through different organic components (such as fluorene mono- or di-phosphonic molecules) considered prototypical and very promising in the field of hybrid multifunctional materials.

La présence combinée de différents types de polluants dans les effluents industriels est une problématique assez complexe à résoudre pour les chercheurs dans le domaine de la protection de l'environnement. Dans ce contexte, le principal objectif de ce travail de thèse a été d'améliorer la compréhension des mécanismes de sorption à l'interface solide liquide, processus impliqués dans la rétention compétitive pour une sélection de colorants organiques et d'espèces inorganiques sur des matériaux adsorbants modèles. Ce manuscrit comprend une étude détaillée de l'adsorption combinant différentes approches et techniques expérimentales complémentaires, principalement à partir de mesures de cinétiques et d'isothermes d'adsorption, une étude structurale par diffraction des rayons X, et une approche thermodynamique par calorimétrie isotherme de titrage. Trois colorants azoïques: Méthyl Orange (MO), Orange II (OII) et Orange G (OG) ont été retenus pour ce travail. Ils ont la particularité de présenter différentes tailles de molécules, différentes charges et caractères hydrophile/ hydrophobe, … D'autre part, deux types de matériaux chargés positivement et considérés comme échangeurs anioniques ont été choisis comme solides adsorbants modèles : Mg-Al Hydroxyde Double Lamellaire (HDL) contenant dans son espace interfoliaire soit des contre-ions nitrate (Mg-Al-HDL-NO3) soit des chlorures (Mg-Al-HDL-Cl) et une résine échangeuses d'ions Amberlite® IRN-78. Enfin, l'impact des oxoanions comme les carbonates (IV), les sulfates (VI), les chromates (VI) et phosphates (V) sur les propriétés de rétention des colorants sur ces adsorbants a été évalué. Dans un premier temps, l'adsorption des colorants a été réalisée sur ces trois matériaux dans des systèmes mono-composant afin d'étudier en détail les mécanismes de rétention. L'étude des Mg-Al-HDL échangés par diffraction des rayons X a permis de montrer que l'échange d'anions est accompagné de l'intercalation dans l'espèce interfoliaire de la nouvelle espèce sorbée, générant des modifications structurales. En systèmes mono- et multi-composant, la rétention des MO semble supérieure à la capacité d'échange anionique (CEA) théorique des HDL. Ce comportement a été attribué à l'adsorption du colorant sur les surfaces externes, ainsi qu'à la co-adsorption des cations sodium, contre-ions du colorant. Il a aussi été montré que la capacité d'adsorption dépend fortement du caractère hydrophile-hydrophobe des colorants et de leur capacité à établir des interactions latérales (de pi-stacking) avec les autres espèces voisines directement au sein de l'espace interfoliaire. La calorimétrie de titrage isotherme a mis en évidence des comportements inhabituels dans les thermogrammes décrivant l'évolution de l'enthalpie cumulative de déplacement, en lien avec la formation d'agrégats fibrillaires provenant de l'interaction entre l'OII et les espèces Mg(II), issues de la dissolution partielle des HDL au contact du colorant.Dans un second temps, l'étude de la compétition entre les colorants organiques et des anions inorganiques sur ces matériaux a démontré que l'élimination de colorant est fortement influencée par la présence d'anions phosphate ainsi que d'anions carbonate. L'analyse détaillée des différentes espèces compétitives a permis de proposer une classification sur la base de trois types de schémas de compétitions, en lien avec la forme des isothermes individuelles et les données calorimétriques, comme l'enthalpie cumulative en système mono-composant. L'ensemble de cette description des mécanismes de rétention dans des systèmes mono- ou multi-composants a été complété par des études plus applicatives comme les phénomènes de cinétiques de sorption, de réversibilité.

In this context, the main objective of the present Ph.D. thesis has been to improve the comprehension of the sorption mechanisms involved in the competitive retention of selected organic dyes and inorganic species at the Solid-Liquid interface by using some model sorbents.The manuscript reports the results of advanced sorption studies made by combining several experimental techniques, mainly including kinetic and equilibrium adsorption measurements, XRD diffraction, as well as isothermal titration calorimetry. Three Azo dyes differing in the molecular size, electric charge, and hydrophobic/hydrophilic character, i.e., Methyl Orange (MO), Orange II (OII), and Orange G (OG), were selected for the purpose of this work. Two types of solid materials possessing positively charged surface sites were considered as model sorbents: layered double hydroxide structures based on Mg and Al (molar Mg:Al ratio of 2) with either nitrate (Mg-Al-LDH-NO3) or chloride counter-ions (Mg-Al-LDH-Cl) localized in the interlayer space, on the one hand, and strongly basic anion-exchange resin, Amberlite® IRN-78, on the other hand. The impact of carbonate(IV), sulfate(VI), chromate(VI), and hydrogen phosphate(V) oxyanions on the retention capacity of model sorbents towards the three dyes was also investigated thoroughly.In the first step, the single-component adsorption onto three sorbents was analyzed in regards with the detailed mechanism of retention. In all cases, an ion-exchange pathway between the pristine compensating anions (NO3-, Cl-, OH-) or anions coming from the ambient atmosphere (e.g., carbonates) and the oncoming anionic species was identified as the principal retention mechanism. In the case of LDH sorbents, this anion exchange was accompanied by the intercalation of the adsorbing species within the interlayer space with the concomitant changes in the layered structure, as inferred from the XRD study of the LDH samples loaded with the appropriate solute species. The retention of monovalent MO anions, both from the single-solute and bi-solute solutions, was found to exceed the anionic exchange capacity (AEC) of the LDH samples, which was ascribed to the dye adsorption on the external surface paralleled by the co-adsorption of sodium cations. The adsorption capacity was demonstrated to depend strongly on the hydrophilic-hydrophilic character of the dye units and their capacity of generating lateral interactions (e.g., pi-stacking) with other adsorbed species within the LDH structure. The use of isothermal calorimetry allowed the unusual shape of the curve representing the cumulative enthalpy of displacement to be attributed to the formation of OII aggregates/fibers induced by the presence of Mg and Al cations originating from the partial dissolution of the LDH sample. Competitive adsorption of dye and selected inorganic anions on the three model sorbents was studied in the second step in view of increasing the efficiency of dyes removal by optimizing experimental conditions. One of the main achievements was to categorize the dye uptake schemes in the presence of inorganic anions in regards with the shape of the experimental adsorption isotherms and to correlate them with the individual adsorbate affinities for the LDH sample, as inferred from the calorimetry measurements of the cumulative enthalpy of displacement in single-solute systems. The discussion on the mechanisms of dye retention in the single- and multi-component systems was supplemented by experimental studies of such applicative aspects of sorption phenomena as kinetics, reversibility, and selectivity.Keywords: Layered double hydroxides, anion-exchange resin, Methyl Orange, Orange II, Orange G, Cr(VI), inorganic anions, single-solute and multi-solute adsorption, XRD study, isotherm titration calorimetry.

Atomically thin, semiconducting transition metal dichalogenides (TMDs), a special class of layered semiconductors, that can be shaped as a perfect two dimensional material, have garnered a lot of attention owing to their fascinating electronic properties which are achievable at the extreme nanoscale. In contrast to graphene, the most celebrated two-dimensional (2D) material thus far; TMDs exhibit a direct band gap in the monolayer regime. The presence of a non-zero bandgap along with the broken inversion symmetry in the monolayer limit brands semiconducting TMDs as the perfect candidate for future optoelectronic and valleytronics-based device application. These remarkable discoveries demand exploration of different materials that possess similar properties alike TMDs. Recently, III-VI layered semiconducting materials (example: InSe, GaSe etc.) have also emerged as potential materials for optical device based applications as, similar to TMDs, they can be shaped into a perfect two-dimensional form as well as possess a sizable band gap in their nano-regime. The perfect 2D character in layered materials cause enhancement of strong Coulomb interaction. As a result, excitons, a coulomb bound quasiparticle made of electron-hole pair, dominate the optical properties near the bandgap. The basis of development for future optoelectronic-based devices requires accurate characterization of the essential properties of excitons. Two fundamental parameters that characterize the quantum dynamics of excitons are: a) the dephasing rate, 𝛾, which represents the coherence loss due to the interaction of the excitons with their environment (for example- phonons, impurities, other excitons, etc.) and b) excited state population decay rate arising from radiative and non-radiative relaxation processes. The dephasing rate is representative of the time scale over which excitons can be coherently manipulated, therefore accurately probing the source of exciton decoherence is crucial for understanding the basic unexplored science as well as creating technological developments. The dephasing dynamics in semiconductors typically occur in the picosecond to femtosecond timescale, thus the use of ultrafast laser spectroscopy is a potential route to probe such excitonic responses. The focus of this dissertation is two-fold: firstly, to develop the necessary instrumentation to accurately probe the aforementioned parameters and secondly, to explore the quantum dynamics and the underlying many-body interactions in different layered semiconducting materials. A custom-built multidimensional optical non-linear spectrometer was developed in order to perform two-dimensional spectroscopic (2DFT) measurements. The advantages of this technique are multifaceted compared to regular one-dimensional and non-linear incoherent techniques. 2DFT technique is based on an enhanced version of Four wave mixing experiments. This powerful tool is capable of identifying the resonant coupling, probing the coherent pathways, unambiguously extracting the homogeneous linewidth in the presence of inhomogeneity and decomposing a complex spectra into real and imaginary parts. It is not possible to uncover such crucial features by employing one dimensional non-linear technique. Monolayers as well as bulk TMDs and group III-VI bulk layered materials are explored in this dissertation. The exciton quantum dynamics is explored with three pulse four-wave mixing whereas the phase sensitive measurements are obtained by employing two-dimensional Fourier transform spectroscopy. Temperature and excitation density dependent 2DFT experiments unfold the information associated with the many-body interactions in the layered semiconducting samples.

The training of movement procedures to increase the skills of athletes is a fundamental part of competitive sports. A realistic training, supported by technical equipment provides athletes a better success of training and is requested by trainers and training centers all over the world. Especially in winter sports, like luge or bob, a realistic training simulation is not always possible and demands adaptations of specific training procedures. As a part of this article, a new multilayer slide-foil will be presented, which allows athletes an even more realistic training. For this purpose the structure and production process of the foil composite will be shown, as well as results of the tribological behaviour of the foil. / Das Training von Bewegungsabläufen, zur Steigerung von Fähigkeiten, ist ein fundamentaler Bestandteil im Leistungssport. Ein realistisches Training, unterstützt durch technische Systeme, ermöglicht es Athleten optimale Trainingserfolge zu erzielen und wird dementsprechend von Trainern und Leistungszentren überall auf der Welt gewünscht. Insbesondere in Wintersportarten, wie z. B. Rennrodeln oder Bobfahren, kann dies allerdings nur bedingt realisiert werden und erfordert oftmals Abstriche bei der Trainingsgestaltung. Im Rahmen dieses Beitrags wird daher eine mehrschichtige Verbundfolie vorgestellt, welche den Athleten ein realistischeres Training ermöglichen soll. Hierzu werden zum einen der Aufbau und die Herstellung des Folienverbundes erläutert sowie tribologische Untersuchungsergebnisse präsentiert.

Foi feita uma análise estrutural, baseada na energia total com mapeamento angular do tereftalato (TA) e cálculos de RMN de carbono 13C, que demonstrou a existência de orientações preferenciais na região interlamelar. As diferenças de densidade de carga demonstraram maior transferência de carga das moléculas de água do que do ânion com as lamelas, sendo mais pronunciada em Mg-Al-TA com x = 0,50. O cálculo de ΔG de formação demonstrou que a síntese de Mg-Al-CO3 com x = 0,50 não é espontânea à temperatura ambiente, ao contrário do Mg-Al-TA. Apesar da relação entre as áreas ocupadas pelos ânion e moléculas de água por carga da lamela permitirem a acomodação na estrutura lamelar verificou-se que existe uma competição pelos sítios das lamelas. O resultado da otimização de geometria mostrou a preferência das moléculas de água formarem ligações de hidrogênio com as hidroxilas da lamela, que deslocam o carbonato no Mg-Al-CO3. Este íon passa então a adotar uma posição inclinada em relação à lamela, demonstrado pelos cálculos da energia de formação como sendo desfavorável. Foi simulada a desidratação do Mg-Al-TA e o acordo encontrado para a temperatura de desidratação reportada experimentalmente foi excelente. Foi observada uma modificação mensurável no deslocamento químico do 13C de um dos núcleos de carbono na nova orientação do TA na estrutura desidratada. A influência do cátion divalente nos HDL estudados foi verificada pela substituição do Mg2+ por Zn2+ ou Ni2+. Foram observadas diferenças nos parâmetros geométricos relacionadas à diferenças nos raios iônicos. A análise de carga de acordo com os critérios de Bader indicaram que as cargas dos átomos de oxigênio do TA e das moléculas de água não são alterados de forma significativa pelo tipo da cátion divalentes escolhido. / First principles calculations based on Density Functional Theory (DFT) were used to investigate the structural and electronic properties of Layered Double Hydroxides (LDH) of Mg-Al-terephthalate and Mg-Al-CO3 composition with molar ratios, x, of 0.25, 0.33 and 0.50. The structural analysis was based on total energy angular mapping of terephthalate (TA) and NMR calculations of carbon 13C, which demonstrated the existence of preferred orientations in the interlayer region. The charge density differences demonstrated greater load transfer of water molecules than the anion with the layer being more pronounced in Mg-Al-TA with x = 0.50. The calculated ΔG of formation demonstrated that the synthesis of Mg-Al-CO3 with x = 0.50 is not spontaneous at room temperature, unlike the Mg-Al-TA. Although the ratio between the areas occupied by the anion and water molecules per positive charge area permit the accommodation in the layer structure, it was found that there is a competition for the layer sites. The lower energy geometry optimization showed the preference of the water molecules to form hydrogen bonds with the hydroxyl groups of the layer, displacing the carbonate of Mg-Al-CO3. This ion then will adopt an inclined position regarding to the layer, shown by the Gibbs free energy formation to be unfavorable. The Mg-Al-TA dehydration reaction simulated found an excellent agreement with experimental values. A measurable change in the 13C chemical shift of the carbon nuclei was verified in the new position of the TA in the dehydrated structure. The influence of divalent cation was verified by substitution of Mg2+ by Zn2+ or Ni2+. Differences were observed in geometric parameters related to differences in the ionic radii. Charge analysis based on Bader criteria indicated no significant variation in oxygen atoms of TA and water molecules by the type of divalent cation chosen.

Polystyrene (PS) nanocomposite foams were prepared using supercritical fluid (SCF) CO2 as a solvent and blowing agent. PS was first in-situ polymerized with a range of concentrations of montmorillonite layered silicate (MLS). The polymerized samples were then compression molded into 1 to 2mm thick laminates. The laminates were foamed in a batch supercritical CO2 process at various temperatures and pressures from 60°-85°C and 7.6-12MPa. The resulting foams were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy to determine effect of MLS on cellular morphology. Differential scanning calorimetry was used to determine the impact of nanocomposite microstructure on glass transition of the foamed polymer. X-ray diffraction spectra suggested that the PS/MLS composite had an intercalated structure at both the 1% and 3% mixtures, and that the intercalation may be enhanced by the foaming process.

Le comptage de cratères sur une surface planétaire est à l’heure actuelle le seul moyen de préciser la temporalité des événements ayant marqué l’histoire des corps telluriques. Cette technique nécessite de connaitre précisément le taux avec lequel se forme les cratères d’impact, c'est-à-dire le flux d’impact, mais aussi son évolution en fonction du diamètre des cratères, la fonction de production. Ensemble, ces deux variables forment le système de chronologie d’un corps planétaire. Il est relativement bien contraint entre 3,9 et 3,5 milliards d’années avant notre ère et considéré comme constant depuis 3 milliards d’années, une hypothèse remise en cause par des observations lunaires et terrestres. Les cratères d’impact à éjecta lobés sont très nombreux sur Mars. Leur morphologie traduit la présence d’une grande quantité de glace d’eau dans le sous-sol au moment de l’impact. La variation spatio-temporelle de cette couche est très peu contrainte. Celle-ci est principalement influencée par l’obliquité de la planète. Leurs nappes d’éjecta sont continues et constituent donc des surfaces idéales pour dater leur formation. L’objectif de cette thèse est de mieux contraindre la chronologie martienne et la variation de l’extension de la couche de volatiles présente sous la surface de Mars responsable de telles morphologies. Par la datation de la mise en place d’une population de cratères à éjecta lobés situés sur Acidalia Planitia, il a été possible de comparer leur fréquence de formation avec le flux d’impact qui a été utilisé pour les dater. Un important désaccord entre nos données et le modèle à flux constant a pu être observé. Un test d’autocohérence entre le flux d’impact mesuré et le flux utilisé pour dater chaque cratère a permis de montrer que le taux d’impact le plus en accord avec nos données était celui présentant un pic de cratérisation entre 0,5 milliards d’années et la période actuelle. Ce pic est associé à deux collisions dans la ceinture principale d’astéroïdes. Néanmoins, cette méthode inverse est soumise à un problème logique mis en évidence par la simulation d’une population de cratères synthétiques. Il apparaît à posteriori que la variable temporelle de la chronologie martienne doit être la fonction de production des cratères d’une centaine de mètres de diamètre. Ces résultats modifient profondément l’âge des surfaces martiennes qui peuvent être mesurés par comptage de cratères. La datation de l’ensemble des cratères martiens dont les nappes d’éjecta lobés sont très étendues a permis également de mettre en évidence une augmentation de l’âge de ces cratères avec la diminution en latitude. Nous avons interprété ces observations comme étant le résultat de l’évolution récente de l’extension de la couche riche en volatils sous la surface de Mars, en lien avec la variation de l’obliquité de la planète. En effet, une diminution de l’angle d’obliquité de Mars il y a 4 millions d’années a restreint l’extension de la couche de volatils à haute latitude. Le lien étroit entre la localisation de ces cratères et leurs âges a permis de poser certaines conditions quant à l’évolution possible de l’obliquité martienne sur les 80 derniers millions d’années. Enfin, la révision de la base de données de cratères martiens la plus complète à ce jour au moyen d’une interface accessible à tous a permis de créer le premier catalogue de cratères adapté à la datation de surfaces martiennes. Nous avons pour cela mis en place une classification des cratères permettant l’exclusion, lors d’une datation, des cratères de type secondaire, fantôme ainsi que des fausses détections contenus dans la base de donnée originelle. / Counting craters on planetary surfaces is currently the only way to precise the events temporality which have marked the history of terrestrial bodies. This technique requires the precise knowledge of the rate with which impact craters are emplaced over time, the impact flux, but also its evolution in function of crater diameter, the production function. Together, these two variables constitute the chronology system of a planetary body. This system is relatively well constrained between 3,9 and 3,5 billion years before present and considered to be constant since 3 billion years, a hypothesis challenged by earthly and lunar observations. Layered ejecta craters are numerous on Mars. Their morphology is related to the presence of ice-rich material in the subsurface at the moment of the impact. The spatial and temporal evolution of this layer is poorly constrained. This one is primarily influenced by the obliquity of Mars. Their ejecta blankets are continuous and therefore constitute ideal surfaces to date the impact itself. The purpose of this thesis is to better constraint the Martian chronology and to better understand the variation of volatiles layer extent present under the surface of Mars. By the dating of the formation of a layered ejecta crater population located on Acidalia Planitia, it has been possible to compare the emplacement frequency of these structures with the impact flux that has been used to date them. An important mismatch between our data and the constant flux has been noted. An auto-consistency test between the measured impact rate and the rate used to date each crater has shown that the most consistent flux with our data is a cratering spike between 0,5 billion years and the actual period. This spike is associated to two main asteroid break-ups in the main asteroid belt. Nevertheless, this inverse method is challenged by a logical problem highlighted by the simulation of a synthetic population of craters. It appears a posteriori that the temporal fluctuation of the Martian chronology comes from the production function of impact craters of hundred meters of diameter. These results modify considerably the age of the Martian surface that we can measure by counting craters. The dating of all craters which exhibits a high extent of their ejecta blankets has also allowed to highlight an increasing of their age with the decreasing of the latitude. We have interpreted this observation by the result of the late evolution of the volatiles layer extent under the surface of Mars, linked to the shift of the obliquity. A decreasing of the Martian obliquity angle there was 4 million years ago has restricted the volatiles layer extent to high latitude. The close link between the location of these craters and their ages has allowed us to set some conditions of possible evolution of the Martian obliquity during the last 80 Myrs. Finally, the correction of the most complete Martian crater database thanks to a web interface accessible to everyone has allowed to create the first crater catalogue adapted to the martian surface dating. We have developed a crater classification allowing the exclusion, during a surface dating, of secondary craters, ghosts craters as well as false detections contained in the original database.
