Ring fused conjugated polymers for use in organic electronics
Creators: name: Shaw, Jessica
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2017

description: The use of conjugated polymers as the active layer in transistor and photovoltaic devices offers many advantages over inorganic materials, such as the potential for low cost, large-scale, solution processed, flexible devices. There has been considerable progress in this area in recent years due to innovative material design, development of new and exciting device architectures, and a deeper understanding of the underlying operating principles, and morphological requirements for optimal performance. Nevertheless, new materials with even higher performance and stable device characteristics are currently needed if commercialisation is to be achieved. This thesis focuses on the design and synthesis of a range of ring fused conjugated polymers for use in organic electronics. Ring fused polymers are particularly promising for this application since they offer the potential to help planarise the backbone, enhance intermolecular π-π interactions, and thus improve charge transport. In the first chapter a series of five polymers based on a five-membered, dithienogermolodithiophene (DTTG) monomer (an extended version of dithienogermole) is reported. Through careful consideration of the choice of acceptor co-monomer and device optimisation, a peak saturated hole mobility of 0.22 cm2/Vs was obtained in devices spin-coated from a non-chlorinated solvent mixture, which at the time of writing was the highest reported charge carrier mobility of any germanium based polymer. The second chapter focuses on the synthesis of a novel bisthieno[2’,3’:4,5]thieno[3,2-c:2’,3’-e]azepine-4,6(5H)-dione (BTTA) monomer in which two thieno[3,2-b]thiophene units are bridged by an azepine-2,7-dione ring. The choice of co-monomer on the optoelectronic and surface morphology of the polymers are reported, using a combination of experimental techniques. The photovoltaic and electrical performance of the polymers investigated in inverted BHJ OPV devices and TG-BC field effect transistors was high, with peak values of 6.78% and 0.027 cm2/Vs observed under optimised conditions. The third chapter explores the use of side-chain engineering to improve the performance of one of the most promising ring fused electron accepting materials; poly[4,9(benzo[lmn][3,8]phenanthroline-1,3,6,8(2H,7H)-tetrone)-alt-5,5’(2,2’-bithiophene)] (pNDI-BT). In particular, the use of alkyl side-chain branching position as an effective strategy for improving charge carrier mobility was demonstrated, and for the first time, the influence of the branch-point on the performance of all-polymer OPV devices was examined, with a gradual decrease in power conversion efficiency observed as the branch-point was moved further from the polymer backbone. The final chapter builds on this work, and uses a range of fluorinated and non-fluorinated, thiophene and selenophene containing monomers, to further improve the electrical performance of a series of NDI based polymers.

description: The evolution of a giant planet within the stellar envelope of a main-sequence star is investigated as a possible mechanism for enhancing the stellar metallicities of the parent stars of extrasolar planetary systems. Three-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations of a planet subject to impacting stellar matter indicate that the envelope of a Jupiter-like giant planet can be completely stripped in the outer stellar convection zone of a solar-mass star. In contrast, Jupiter-like and less massive Saturn-like giant planets are able to survive through the base of the convection zone of a 1.22 solar-mass star. Although strongly dependent on details of planetary interior models, partial or total dissolution of giant planets can result in significant enhancements in the metallicity of host stars with masses between about 1.0 and 1.3 solar masses. The implications of these results with regard to planetary orbital migration are briefly discussed.

Designer magnetic nanostructures: controlling magnetization dynamics in artificial spin ice
Creators: name: Vanstone, Alexander
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2022

description: Artificial spin ice (ASI) is a magnetic metamaterial comprised of interacting magnetic elements. The array's particular arrangement on the lattice leads to collective behaviour, often due to the frustrated interaction at the vertices leading to a highly degenerate state. Minor loop driven return point memory in ASI is simulated using dipolar models, and subharmonic response is shown to occur in a specific regime of the parameter space. The minor loops' applied field strength and the lattice's quenched disorder and interaction strength are critical variables. A qualitative description of the origin of subharmonic behaviour is discussed and explored in square, Shakti and brickwork ASI geometries. Symmetric and bicomponent square ASI systems' high-frequency dynamics are measured experimentally via ferromagnetic resonance (FMR). The bicomponent square artificial spin system is width-modified to allow global field control of specific microstates. These samples are measured using FMR to determine how the high-frequency response changes due to the microstate field landscape. The anticrossing gap in the prepared type 3 state is discussed in terms of mode hybridisation between the optical and acoustic modes. The FMR modes' in symmetric square ASI temperature dependence is measured, and the mode shifts are discussed. Remanence FMR measurements show how the characteristic of square ASI reversal and equivalent magnetisation microstates may be identified using spin-wave spectra.

description: In the environment, or during mammalian metabolism, the diuron herbicide (3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea) is transformed mainly into 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1-methylurea (DCPMU) and 3,4-dichloroaniline (DCA). Previous research suggests that such substances are toxic to the urothelium of Wistar rats where, under specific exposure conditions, they may induce urothelial cell degeneration, necrosis, hyperplasia, and eventually tumors. However, the intimate mechanisms of action associated with such chemical toxicity are not fully understood. In this context, the purpose of the current in vitro study was to analyze the underlying mechanisms involved in the urothelial toxicity of those chemicals, addressing cell death and the possible role of mitochondrial dysfunction. Thus, human 1T1 urothelial cells were exposed to six different concentrations of diuron, DCA, and DCPMU, ranging from 0.5 to 500 µM. The results showed that tested chemicals induced oxidative stress and mitochondrial damage, cell cycle instability, and cell death, which were more expressive at the higher concentrations of the metabolites. These data corroborate previous studies from this laboratory and, collectively, suggest mitochondrial dysfunction as an initiating event triggering urothelial cell degeneration and death.

description: To re-examine the rich cluster $Ω$ value the CNOC Cluster Survey has observed 16 high X-ray luminosity clusters in the redshift range 0.17 to 0.55, obtaining approximately 2600 velocities in their fields. Directly adding all the K and evolution corrected $r$ band light to $M_r(0)=-18.5$, about $0.2L_\ast$, and correcting for the light below the limit, the average mass-to-light ratio of the clusters is $283\pm27h\msun/\lsun$ and the average mass per galaxy is $3.5\pm0.4\times10^{12}h^{-1}\msun$. The clusters are consistent with having a universal $M_v/L$ value (within the errors of about 20\%) independent of their velocity dispersion, mean color of their galaxies, blue galaxy content, redshift, or mean interior density. Using field galaxies within the same data set, with the same corrections, we find that the closure mass-to-light, $ρ_c/j$, is $1160\pm130h\msun/\lsun$ and the closure mass per galaxy, $ρ_c/ϕ(>0.2L_\ast)$, is $13.2\pm1.9\times10^{12}h^{-1}\msun$. Under the assumptions that the galaxies are distributed like the mass and that the galaxy luminosities and numbers are statistically conserved, which these data indirectly support, $Ω_0=0.20\pm0.04\pm0.09$ where the errors are, respectively, the $1σ$ internal and an estimate of the $1σ$ systematic error resulting from the luminosity normalization.

Cut-offs and pile-ups in shock acceleration spectra

description: We have examined cutoffs and pile-ups due to various processes in the spectra of particles produced by shock acceleration, and found that, even in the absence of energy losses, the shape of the spectrum of accelerated particles at energies well below the nominal maximum energy depends strongly on the energy dependence of the diffusion coefficient. This has implications in many areas, for example, in fitting the observed cosmic ray spectrum with models based on power-law source spectra and rigidity dependent diffusive escape from the galaxy. With continuous energy losses, prominent pile-ups may arise, and these should be included when modelling synchrotron X-ray and inverse Compton gamma-ray spectra from a shock-accelerated electron population. We have developed a Monte Carlo/numerical technique to model the shape of the spectrum for the case of non-continuous energy losses such as inverse Compton scattering in the Klein-Nishina regime. We find that the shapes of the resulting cut-offs differ substantially from those arising from continuous processes, and we suggest that such differences could be observable through their effect on the spectrum of radiation emitted by a population of recently accelerated electrons as, for example, may exist in young supernova remnants.

description: The occurrence of micro(nano)plastics into various environmental and biological settings influences their physicochemical and toxic behavior. Simulated body fluids are appropriate media for understanding the degradation, stability, and interaction with other substances of any material in the human body. When the particles enter the human body via inhalation, which is one of the avenues for micro(nano)plastics, they first come into contact with the lung lining fluid under neutral conditions and then are phagocytosed under acidic conditions to be removed. Therefore, it is important to examine the physicochemical transformation and toxicity characteristics after interaction with phagolysosomal simulant fluid (PSF). Here, we focused on exploring how the physicochemical differences (e.g. surface chemistry, elemental distribution, and surface charge) of micro(nano)plastics under pH 4.5 phagolysosome conditions impact cytotoxicity and the oxidative characteristics of lung epithelia cells. The cytotoxicity of lung epithelia cells to those treated with PSF and non-treated micro(nano)plastics was tested by various viability indicators including cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), MTT, and LDH. Furthermore, the cytotoxicity background was examined through the oxidative processes (e.g. reactive oxygen species, antioxidant, superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, and reduced glutathione). The results showed that all tested surface physicochemical characteristics were significantly influenced by the phagolysosome conditions. The staged responses were observed with the treatment duration, and significant changes were calculated in carbonyl, carbon-nitrogen, and sulfonyl groups. Moreover, the negativity of the zeta potentials declined between exposure of 2–40 h and then increased at 80 h compared to control owing to the chemical functional groups and elemental distribution of the plastic particles. The tested viability indicators showed that the micro(nano)plastics treated with PSF were cytotoxic to the lung epithelia cells compared to non-treated micro(nano)plastics, and SOD was the dominant enzyme triggering cytotoxicity due to the particle degradation and instability.
Redshift Evolution of the Nonlinear Two-Point Correlation Function

description: This paper presents a detailed theoretical study of the two-point correlation function $ξ$ for both dark matter halos and the matter density field in five cosmological models with varying matter density $Ω_m$ and neutrino fraction $Ω_ν$. The objectives of this systematic study are to evaluate the nonlinear gravitational effects on $ξ$, to contrast the behavior of $ξ$ for halos vs. matter, and to quantify the redshift evolution of $ξ$ and its dependence on cosmological parameters. Overall, $ξ$ for halos exhibits markedly slower evolution than $ξ$ for matter, and its redshift dependence is much more intricate than the single power-law parameterization used in the literature. Of particular interest is that the redshift evolution of the halo-halo correlation length $r_0$ depends strongly on $Ω_m$ and $Ω_ν$, being slower in models with lower $Ω_m$ or higher $Ω_ν$. Measurements of $ξ$ to higher redshifts can therefore be a potential discriminator of cosmological parameters. The evolution rate of $r_0$ for halos within a given model increases with time, passing the phase of fixed comoving clustering at $z\sim 1$ to 3 toward the regime of stable clustering at $z\sim 0$. The shape of the halo-halo $ξ$, on the other hand, is well approximated by a power law with slope -1.8 in all models and is not a sensitive model discriminator.

Instability growth for magnetised liner inertial fusion seeded by electro-thermal, electro-choric and material strength effects
Creators: name: Pecover, James
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: Magnetised liner inertial fusion (MagLIF) represents a promising pathway to controlled thermonuclear fusion which would provide clean, plentiful energy. The concept uses a pulsed power machine to implode a metal cylinder or `liner' containing pre-magnetised and preheated fusion fuel; a critical limitation of such systems is the magneto-Rayleigh-Taylor (MRT) instability which primarily disrupts the outer surface of the liner. We carried out 3D simulations using Gorgon, an Eulerian resistive MHD code, to match experimental results showing large amplitude multi-mode MRT instability growth resulting from MagLIF-relevant liner implosions. These simulations under-estimated MRT amplitudes and wavelengths near stagnation due to a lack of azimuthal correlation, achieving good agreement only with the addition of an artificially azimuthally correlated initialisation. The experiment was repeated with an axial magnetic field, resulting in re-orientation of the MRT instability into a helical structure which has yet to be explained. We have shown that the missing azimuthal correlation could be provided by a combination of the electro-thermal instability (ETI) and an `electro-choric' instability (ECI); describing respectively the tendency of current to correlate azimuthally early in time due to temperature dependent Ohmic heating; and an amplification of the ETI driven by density dependent resistivity around vapourisation. We developed and implemented a material strength model to improve simulation of the solid phase of liner implosions and present test problems and benchmarking against the hydrodynamics code iSALE. Applied to simulations exhibiting the ETI and ECI, the inclusion of strength gave a significant increase in wavelength and amplitude of the ETI and ECI. Full circumference simulations of the multi-mode MRT instability provided a significant improvement on previous randomly initialised results and approached agreement with experiment. Simulations including an axial magnetic field reproduced helical structures associated with azimuthal currents induced by magnetic field compression, but did not reproduce experimental results.

A consistent framework for valuation under collateralization, credit risk and funding costs
Creators: name: Liu, Qing
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: We develop a consistent, arbitrage-free framework for valuing derivative trades with collateral, counterparty credit risk, and funding costs. This is achieved by modifying the payout cash-flows for the trade position. The framework is flexible enough to accommodate actual trading complexities such as asymmetric collateral and funding rates, replacement close-out, and rehypothecation of posted collateral. We show also how the traditional self-financing condition is adjusted to reflect the new market realities. The generalized valuation equation takes the form of a forward-backward SDE or semi-linear PDE. Nevertheless, it may be recast as a set of iterative equations which can be efficiently solved by our proposed least-squares Monte Carlo algorithm. We numerically implement the case of an equity option and show how its valuation changes when including the above effects. We also discuss the financial impact of the proposed valuation framework and of nonlinearity more generally. This is fourfold: Firstly, the valuation equation is only based on observable market rates, leaving the value of a derivatives transaction invariant to any theoretical risk-free rate. Secondly, the presence of funding costs and default close-out makes the valuation problem a recursive and nonlinear one. Thus, credit and funding risks are non-separable in general, and despite common practice in banks, the related CVA, DVA, and FVA cannot be treated as purely additive adjustments without running the risk of double counting. To quantify the valuation error that can be attributed to double counting, we introduce a nonlinearity valuation adjustment (NVA) and show that its magnitude can be significant under asymmetric funding rates and replacement close-out at default. Thirdly, as trading parties cannot observe each others liquidity policies nor their respective funding costs, the bilateral nature of a derivative price breaks down. Finally, valuation becomes aggregation-dependent and portfolio values cannot simply be added up. This has operational consequences for banks, calling for a holistic, consistent approach across trading desks and asset classes.

description: We reexamine the hypothesis that the optical/UV/soft X-ray continuum of Active Galactic Nuclei is thermal emission from an accretion disk. Previous studies have shown that fitting the spectra with the standard, optically thick and geometrically thin accretion disk models often led to luminosities which contradict the basic assumptions adopted in the standard model. There is no known reason why the accretion rates in AGN should not be larger than the thin disk limit. In fact, more general, slim accretion disk models are self-consistent even for moderately super-Eddington luminosities. We calculate here spectra from a set of thin and slim, optically thick accretion disks. We discuss the differences between the thin and slim disk models, stressing the implications of these differences for the interpretation of the observed properties of AGN. We found that the spectra can be fitted not only by models with a high mass and a low accretion rate (as in the case of thin disk fitting) but also by models with a low mass and a high accretion rate. In the first case fitting the observed spectra in various redshift categories gives black hole masses around 10^9 solar masses for a wide range of redshifts, and for accretion rates ranging from 0.4 to 8 solar masses/year. In the second case the accretion rate is around 10^2 solar masses/year for all AGN and the mass ranges from 3*10^6 to 10^8 solar masses. Unlike the disks with a low accretion rate, the spectra of the high-accretion-rate disks extend into the soft X-rays. A comparison with observations shows that such disks could produce the soft X-ray excesses claimed in some AGNs. We show also that the sequence of our models with fixed mass and different accretion rates can explain the time evolution of the observed spectra in Fairall 9.

Evaluation and advancement of satellite precipitation estimation over the tropical Andes
Creators: name: Manz, Bastian
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2016

description: The tropical Andes are characterised by highly variable precipitation patterns in both space and time, combined with low coverage of ground-based meteorological observation. Satellite precipitation products are increasingly used to fi ll this gap, providing high-resolution precipitation estimation in ungauged catchments. However, accuracy of space-borne sensors is limited by errors associated with rain-rate retrieval, temporal sampling, spatial resolution and ground-correction. This PhD thesis provides a detailed ground-validation of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Precipitation Radar (TPR) over the tropical Andes. The TPR is the single space-borne active precipitation sensor with long-term historical observations (1998 - 2014) of tropical rainfall at a high spatial resolution (5 km). TPR accuracy was found to vary substantially across distinct climatic regions, demonstrating a dependence on the local rainfall regime. Satellite errors due to low-frequency sampling and rainfall retrieval showed a wide spatial spread, generally exceeding gauge errors. However, the TPR is an accurate estimator of mean climatological precipitation, which formed the basis of generating a high-resolution mean monthly precipitation dataset by satellite-gauge merging. Furthermore, this research focussed on the spatial scaling of rainfall at daily time-scales, showing that scaling behaviour varies substantially between different precipitation variables. Lastly, high-resolution climatological precipitation variables from the TPR were used to develop a spatial disaggregation model for regular-gridded satellite precipitation. Probabilistic disaggregated rainfall fields at 1 km resolution demonstrated better estimation of the statistical distribution than rainfall fields obtained by conditional simulation of gauge observations. The generic disaggregation approach is modular in design, supplies uncertainty estimates via probabilistic simulation and is independent of local gauge data. Thus, it is a useful tool for disaggregation of any gridded precipitation product with potential applications from extremes estimation to distributed hydrological modelling. Future work is required to improve the spatial consistency at di fferent spatial scales, possibly through the integration with geostatistical methods.

Metal 3D printed bolted connections

Publisher: name: Imperial College London

description: Additive manufacturing (AM) is receiving increasing attention in the construction industry, owing to its potential to bring enhanced automation and sustainability. In order to achieve wider integration, this thesis is aimed at providing fundamental underpinning experimental data for wire arc additively manufactured (WAAM) steel bolted connections, including single- and double-lap shear bolted connections and T-stub connections. The applicability of current design specifications is also evaluated. A series of material tensile coupon tests on the WAAM steel is presented. A total of 27 coupons, featuring two nominal thicknesses, two surface conditions (i.e. as-built and machined) and three print layer orientations, were tested. Advanced measuring techniques, namely 3D Laser scanning and Digital Image Correlation, were employed in the tests. Negative influences of surface undulations were evidenced while the differences between the different print layer orientation were found to be small. A total of 120 WAAM single- and double-lap shear tests, 60 of each, with different thicknesses, print layer orientations and geometric configurations, were conducted using advanced measuring techniques. Conventional failure modes were observed and analysed, while several unique failure modes were also highlighted. The test results were compared against the design predictions of current design specifications and their accuracies were assessed. Finally, tests on 80 T-stub bolted connections with different printing strategies, bolt arrangements and geometric configurations were carried out. A new method was introduced for the determination of the failure mode and key points on the load-deformation response of T-stub connections. The structural response of the WAAM T-stubs generally followed the anticipated trends, though the geometric irregularities and printing strategies were shown to have clear influences on the load-carrying capacity. Comparisons between the test results and the capacity predictions yielded by existing design equations were subsequently made; overall, reasonable agreement was achieved. The work presented in this thesis has highlighted the feasibility and sound structural performance of connections produced through WAAM. Future research needs include the assessment of optimisation and structural reliability of WAAM connections.
Charge-transfer insulation in twisted bilayer graphene

description: We studied the real space structure of states in twisted bilayer graphene at the `magic angle' $θ= 1.08^\circ$. The flat bands close to charge neutrality are composed of a mix of `ring' and `center' orbitals around the AA stacking region. An effective model with localized orbitals is constructed, which necessarily includes more than just the four flat bands. Long-range Coulomb interaction causes a charge-transfer at half-filling of the flat bands from the `center' to the `ring' orbitals. Consequently, the Mott phase is a featureless spin-singlet paramagnet. We estimate the effective Heisenberg coupling that favors the singlet coupling to be $J = 3.3$ K, consistent with experimental values. The superconducting state depends on the nature of the dopants: hole-doping yields $p+ip$-wave whereas electron-doping yields $d+id$-wave pairing symmetry.

Molecular mechanisms of deformation of aligned polyethylene
Creators: name: Hammad, Ali
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: This study investigated how aligned polyethylene transforms as a system. The aim was to identify the relative strength of symmetry and antisymmetry in the system. An empirical framework was developed based on the Lennard-Jones potential, which included three nested algorithms. These nested algorithms provided a context specific empirical study of aligned polyethylene. The first algorithm enabled the formation of a soliton in a classical structure, in order to minimise the energy of the system. This provided indicative results, which suggest that solitons may transfer load from one molecular chain to another. The correspondence between the formation of solitons and the restoring force on chain ends was also examined. The second algorithm included the classical formation of a soliton into a statistical structure, in order to examine the behaviour of the soliton. The algorithm showed that there are two distinct timescales associated with the structure of the soliton. The coarse-graining of the temporal structure of the system, followed by subsequent fine-graining, showed the splitting of the soliton into +/- π/2 twistons. The third algorithm included the behaviour of the soliton within a geometric construction consisting of hexagonal sites, to examine how spontaneous symmetry breaking and symmetry restoration may occur in a system that is at the critical point of orthorhombic and hexagonal symmetry. It was found that the system behaves neither as a pure solid crystal nor as a pure fluid. Therefore it may be predicted that the system has connection to a liquid crystal, which may inform novel efforts in the future to transform not just aligned polyethylene but also other similar materials.
The role of carbohydrate food structure in gastrointestinal digestion, glycaemic response, and appetite regulation
Creators: name: Cai, Mingzhu
Publisher: name: Imperial College London

description: Dietary fibre has demonstrated benefits against many metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes and obesity. Plant cell walls are the primary source of dietary fibre, and the structural integrity largely determines their physiological effects. Intact cell walls encapsulate starch to slow down its digestion and may protect the transport of resistant starch to the large intestine, thereby promoting short-chain fatty acid production and appetite control. However, cell wall structures can be disrupted when plant foods are processed into small particles, which may eliminate health benefits. This thesis aimed to understand the impact of the structural integrity of plant cell walls on human digestion, postprandial glycaemia and appetite using chickpeas as a food model. Chapter 2 reviewed and meta-analysed 13 randomised crossover trials (RCTs) showing that the large particles of starchy food lowered postprandial glycaemia in healthy subjects. Chapter 3 designed a two-phase, double-blinded RCT that enabled the examination of digestion and postprandial response in humans. Chickpeas were processed into three structures: broken cells (Broken), intact single cells (Intact-S), and intact cell clusters (Intact-C). Chapter 4 studied their digestion in the stomach and duodenum and revealed that Intact-S and Intact-C remained their structures largely intact in the upper gastrointestinal tract, thereby lowering the luminal carbohydrate release and attenuating postprandial glycaemia. Chapter 5 further investigated the digestion behaviours in the terminal ileum and appetite outcomes. Both intact structures delivered more carbohydrate contents to the distal ileum than Broken. Intact-S was more digestible in the ileum whilst Intact-C retained more carbohydrate for ileal and colonic fermentation. Fermentation levels increased 4-8 hours postprandially, while Intact-C increased ileal acetate, PYY and fullness compared to Broken. Intact-C presented the greatest benefits in attenuating postprandial glycaemia, promoting fermentation, and suppressing appetite. Our work emphasises the structural integrity of dietary fibre-rich foods in achieving their beneficial effects.
