Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This exegesis documents my Master of Fine Art practice-led research project exploring photographic representation within a feminist framework. Through a dialogue on performative photography, the project engages with discourses of representation, ideas of movement and gesture, and theories of embodied subjectivity. Beginning with the research question -How can performative photography activate the body, and complicate notions of identity and subjectivity? - I have explored various strategies by artists and theorists to shed light on the issues surrounding self-representation.

description: We have studied the relationship between the structure and the spin Hall angle of the early 5d transition metals in X/CoFeB/MgO (X=Hf, Ta, W, Re) heterostructures. Spin Hall magnetoresistance (SMR) is used to characterize the spin Hall angle of the heavy metals. Transmission electron microscopy images show that all underlayers are amorphous-like when their thicknesses are small, however, crystalline phases emerge as the thickness is increased for certain elements. We find that the heavy metal layer thickness dependence of the SMR reflects these changes in structure. The spin Hall angle largest |θ$_{SH}$| of Hf, Ta, W and Re (~0.11, 0.10, 0.23 and 0.07, respectively) is found when the dominant phase is amorphous-like. We find that the amorphous-like phase not only possesses large resistivity but also exhibits sizeable spin Hall conductivity, which both contribute to the emergence of the large spin Hall angle.
Time and stillness

description: Movement and stillness are broad concepts that intersect different philosophical ideas, and connections between daily life, art and perception. This practice-led research project investigates movement in dance, movement in the stillness of sculpture, and the physical and corporeal act of painting to question the distinction between movement and stillness. Perceptual ambiguity and stillness in painting are explored to reveal the passing of time and movement felt in daily life. Images, conceptual movements and emotion are juxtaposed to create a dynamic spatial intervention, expressing personal aesthetic visions about physical and psychological space and time. This is to propose that the act of contemplation of the surroundings constitutes space, and that engaging with space consequently becomes a temporal activity.

Varying the medium surrounding an optical resonator: An efficient and rigorous way to calculate its spectral changes

description: Finding reliably and efficiently the spectrum of the resonant states of an optical system under varying parameters of the medium surrounding it is a technologically important task, primarily due to various sensing applications. Computationally, it presents, however, a fundamental challenge owing to the nature of the eigenstates of an open system lacking completeness outside it. We solve this challenge by making a linear transformation of Maxwell's equations which maps perturbations of the surrounding medium onto effective perturbations within the system where the resonant states are complete. By treating such perturbations with the rigorous resonant state expansion, we find the modified modes of the system for arbitrary perturbations of the medium with any required accuracy. Numerically efficient single and few mode approximations are shown to be precise in practically important cases of, respectively, plasmonic nanoparticles and dielectric micro resonators.

description: Results from traceable calibrations of PV reference cells are compared. Two primary calibration
methods were used, namely the differential spectral responsivity (DSR) method at the Physikalisch-Technische
Bundesanstalt (PTB) and the direct sunlight method (DSM) at the European Solar Test Installation (ESTI).
Furthermore, secondary calibrations were also made at ESTI against the World Photovoltaic Scale (WPVS). The
calibration of c-Si reference cells is well established. Here we investigate the extension to filtered c-Si reference cells.
Calibrations were performed on three cells. One unfiltered c-Si reference cell was used for control, confirming the
good agreement in the calibration of such devices reported previously. Furthermore, two filtered c-Si PV reference
cells were calibrated using the same methods. The agreement between the methods is studied and possible sources for
discrepancies are investigated. The spectral mismatch correction is identified as crucial factor. The variation in the
spectral mismatch correction with variation in measurement of spectral responsivity is found to be within uncertainty
limits, whereas the measurement of spectral irradiance of the simulator can contribute much larger uncertainties due
to artefacts in the spectral region around 1050 nm. A correction of the measured data alleviates the effect, so that the
equivalence of all methods is demonstrated.

description: Superconductivity develops in metals upon the formation of a coherent macroscopic quantum state of electron pairs. Iron pnictides and chalcogenides are materials that have high superconducting transition temperatures. In this Review, we describe the advances in the field that have led to higher superconducting transition temperatures in iron-based superconductors and the wide range of materials that form them. We summarize both the essential aspects of the normal state and the mechanism for superconductivity. We emphasize the degree of electron-electron correlations and their manifestation in properties of the normal state. We examine the nature of magnetism, analyse its role in driving the electronic nematicity, and discuss quantum criticality at the border of magnetism in the phase diagram. Finally, we review the amplitude and structure of the superconducting pairing, and survey the potential settings for optimizing superconductivity.

PV Module Performance and Reliability

description: 33rd European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 1451-1456
description: Damaged modules, especially with existing cell cracks, are observed quite often in PV-installations. Little
knowledge exists about the stability of such pre-cracked modules under real operating conditions. Previous investigations
and existing standards focus on the degradation of new, defect-free modules. This work highlights a twofold approach for
performance study of pre-cracked modules: 1) artificial stressing of 20 representative pre-cracked modules with a novel
load test set-up simulating snow and wind loads, 2) simulating IV-curves of cracked cells. The experimental results are
discussed with respect to field exposure data. EL-images of stressed PV-modules indicate that new cracks are only initiated
once a certain threshold is exceeded. Below this threshold formerly unseen cracks open, as can be seen by small changes
in the EL-intensity. Power measurements yield a strong power reduction at the loaded state. Due to the solar cell being
under tension the cracks open and the separated areas lose their electrical contact. Considering a break resistance in the IVcurve,
simulations lead to good agreement with the observed experimental results.
It is highlighted that the electric contact after unloading for the previously unloaded module recovers visibly in the ELimage
as well as in the power output. Simulating real weather (operating) conditions by moderate static loading tests reveals
no measurable changes in the EL-images affecting the power output.

description: Delamination is one of the most commonly observed structural defects in the photovoltaic (PV)
modules that leads to the hotspots formation and reduction in the PV performance. This paper presents a
thermographic method for the non-destructive evaluation of delamination in PV modules. In this method, the module
gets thermally excited by a uniform heat flux and the surface temperature response has been evaluated for
investigating the presence of sub-surface delamination defect. The influence of different excitation waveforms, such
as step, rectangular and half-sine on the thermal contrast evolutions created by delamination of varying thickness
have been studied by a 3-dimensional (3-D) electro-thermal modelling and simulation approach, which is also
supported by an experimental activity. A characteristic parameter peak contrast time has been considered in a thermal
contrast profile for comparing these waveforms as it is less affected by the heat flux intensity and other ambient
conditions. Advantages and limitations of each waveform for this investigation have been compared and discussed.
Results show that the rectangular heating provides faster detection of delamination, while half-sine waveform
possesses better characterization ability. Such investigation paves the way of cost-effective solution for identifying
the severity of delamination defect and its impact on the module performance.

description: We present $29\pm1$ classical Oe stars from RIOTS4, a spatially complete, spectroscopic survey of Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) field OB stars. The two earliest are O6e stars, and four are earlier than any Milky Way (MW) Oe stars. We also find ten Ope stars, showing He~\textsc{i} infill and/or emission; five appear to be at least as hot as $\sim$O7.5e stars. The hottest, star 77616, shows He~\textsc{ii} disk emission, suggesting that even the hottest O stars can form decretion disks, and offers observational support for theoretical predictions that the hottest, fastest rotators can generate He$^+$-ionizing atmospheres. Our data also demonstrate that Ope stars correspond to Oe stars earlier than O7.5e with strong disk emission. We find that in the SMC, Oe stars extend to earlier spectral types than in the MW, and our SMC Oe/O frequency, $0.26\pm0.04$, is much greater than the MW value, $0.03\pm0.01$. These results are consistent with angular momentum transport by stronger winds suppressing decretion disk formation at higher metallicity. In addition, our SMC field Oe star frequency is indistinguishable from that for clusters, which is consistent with the similarity between rotation rates in these environments, and contrary to the pattern for MW rotation rates. Thus, our findings strongly support the viscous decretion disk model and confirm that Oe stars are the high-mass extension of the Be phenomenon. Additionally, we find that Fe~\textsc{ii} emission occurs among Oe stars later than O7.5e with massive disks, and we revise a photometric criterion for identifying Oe stars to $J-[3.6] \geq 0.1$.

description: This thesis, found inform documents a personal meditation on space and considers the way it frames our experience within constructed environments. Focusing on the realm of cultural institutions where art is exhibited, I propose that a meaningful interaction with spaces, places and art affords significant opportunities for self-reflection. As an artist working with the medium of photography, I ask how photographs can communicate the perceptual experience of spatial encounters? Central to this question are the theories of French philosopher Maurice Merleau-Ponty, who describes, from a phenomenological perspective, the foundational role perception plays in understanding and engaging the world. In this context it is also important to explore the views of architect and theorist Juhani Pallasmaa, and artist/commentator Andrea Fraser. My research considers the work of artists who address the perceptual dimension of space through architectural interventions, including Victor Pasmore, Richard Hamilton and Sarah Oppenheimer. Photographic representations of spatial experience are also investigated in the contemporary work of Thomas Struth, Candida Hofer and Hiroshi Sugimoto, all of whom engage with sites of cultural and historical significance. Finally I discuss the supporting body of work presented as a series of photographs taken in art spaces during the course of this investigation.

description: Before a building can participate in a demand response program, its facility managers must characterize the site's ability to reduce load. Today, this is often done through manual audit processes and prototypical control strategies. In this paper, we propose a new approach to estimate a building's demand response capacity using detailed data from various sensors installed in a building. We derive a formula for a probabilistic measure that characterizes various tradeoffs between the available demand response capacity and the confidence level associated with that curtailment under the constraints of building occupant comfort level (or utility). Then, we develop a data-driven framework to associate observed or projected building energy consumption with a particular set of rules learned from a large sensor dataset. We apply this methodology using testbeds in two buildings in Singapore: a unique net-zero energy building and a modern commercial office building. Our experimental results identify key control parameters and provide insight into the available demand response strategies at each site.

Codex infinitum : the infinite book

description: Few objects or ideas are as universally recognisable or have endured like that of the book. Emerging some 2000 years ago, the codex is arguably one of the most significant human accomplishments. The book is simultaneously physical and conceptual: a symbol and storehouse of information. They may be humble and utilitarian or resplendent objects of great artistic merit and monetary value. The book is more than the sum of its parts - page, text, cover, content - it is the primary record of human history, the repository of human knowledge, the cache of human culture. With my studio-based research project Codex Infinitum -the infinite book, I proposed the creation of a body of work that used the book form as the means to investigate ideas about the future of books and knowledge in an increasingly digital world, using permaculture as the guiding philosophical framework. While my initial impetus was to contemplate the potential value and meaning of books and knowledge in the wake of the digital revolution, I became equally interested in exploring ideas about tacit or experiential knowledge as this related to notions of place and identity. These ideas essentially provided the initial inspiration for my studio research. As the project circuitously developed, and my interest in the role and value oftacit knowledge grew, the book increasingly began to operate more symbolically- not just representing knowledge, but also culture, tradition and/or power. As such, during my project the book began to operate principally as a vessel to allude to these, and other antithetical ideas, as I examined how experiential and empirical knowledge interact on a personal level.

description: 33rd European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 1379-1382
description: Herein we report on the development and testing of a high-performance structured AR coating applied
to solar glass by means of TOWA’s high-pressure molding technology. This technology allows the application of
optically-active structures on glass with unprecedented freedom of geometry and precision. The structured layer with
AR functionality were based on a theoretically defined geometry, which then was translated into a mold design. As
deduced from the systematic I-V measurements at different angles of incidence, the developed ARC provided a ca.
2.1% rel. gain in ISC at normal incidence and greatly improved light capturing at high angles of incidence as
compared to flat glass, but also compared to a typical commercial structured solar glass. The experimentally-derived
incident angle dependence was then used to estimate the impact of ARC on annual yield for a typical residential
system. Depending on the location and the system orientation the ARC improves the annual yield by 5-7% rel. when
compared to a flat glass-black background configuration and by 2-2.5% rel. when compared to a flat glass-white
background configuration. Aside from greatly light trapping, the coating could offer additional advantages, like
improved aesthetics, protection against mechanical impact, and electrical safety of a module and could benefit such
applications as BIPV, automotive PV, portable PV, space-based PV

description: The Heisenberg-Euler theory of the quantum vacuum supplements Maxwell's theory of electromagnetism with nonlinear light-light interactions. These originate in vacuum fluctuations, a key prediction of quantum theory, and can be triggered by high-intensity laser pulses, causing a variety of intriguing phenomena. A highly accurate numerical scheme for solving the nonlinear equations due to the leading orders of the Heisenberg-Euler weak-field expansion is presented. The algorithm possesses an almost linear vacuum dispersion relation even for comparably small wavelengths and incorporates a nonphysical modes filter. The implemented solver is tested in one spatial dimension against a set of known analytical results for vacuum birefringence and harmonic generation. More complex scenarios for harmonic generation are demonstrated in two and three spatial dimensions.

Mechanocaloric effects in Shape Memory Alloys

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Shape memory alloys are a class of ferroic materials which undergo a structural (martensitic) transition where the associated ferroic property is a lattice distortion (strain). The sensitiveness of the transition to the conjugated external field (stress), together with the latent heat of the transition gives rise to giant mechanocaloric effects. In non-magnetic shape memory alloys, the lattice distortion is mostly described by a pure shear and the martensitic transition in this family of alloys is strongly affected by uniaxial stress whereas it is basically insensitive to hydrostatic pressure. As a result, non-magnetic alloys exhibit giant elastocaloric effects but negligible barocaloric effects. By contrast, in a number of magnetic shape memory alloys, the lattice distortion at the martensitic transition involves a volume change in addition to the shear strain. Those alloys are affected by both uniaxial stress and hydrostatic pressure and they exhibit giant elastocaloric and barocaloric effects. The paper aims at providing a critical survey of available experimental data on elastocaloric and barocaloric effects in magnetic and non-magnetic shape memory alloys.

description: This research considers multiple platforms upon which participatory work takes shape, and the proliferating events which it makes possible. It considers the selection, fabrication and composition of materials which becomes the field of the works, the success or failure of the various opportunities which invite audience interaction, the outcome of the constantly renewing opportunity for event, and the resulting reconfiguring of the role of the audience from observer to interlocutor. This practice-led research charts the evolution of my work as a jeweller into the field of installation and interactive art. The work can be identified as a participatory project combining an orchestrated terrain, opportunity for audience interaction, and active engagement of the interlocutor, resulting in endless renewal of the event. The orchestrated terrain is the space I have composed. By determining selection and composition of the terrain I am creating the opportunity for, and solicitation of, audience interaction. Participation of the audience results in multiple and simultaneous shifts of material and the field of the work is activated and enlivened, thus becoming the space of event. The multiple sensory forces which are resultant in the event in the space of the work then re-arrange to create invitation again for a new configuration and the renewal of the opportunity for the moment of participation and consequent event. The contribution of the audience participant and the reciprocated outcomes they experience from the work provoke me to consider the audience not as a passive viewer but as an interlocutor with the work. 5

description: For the determination of a PV modules energy output under different realistic outdoor conditions the
influences of spectral and angular effects have to be considered and quantified. The standard IEC 60904-7 describes a
procedure to correct for spectral deviations [1]. This work introduces a novel multidimensional model bringing
spectral angular effects into the field of PV metrology with focus on quantifying their impact on high accuracy
performance measurements and PV module energy rating. Beside the spectral responsivity of a photovoltaic device
the model also considers the angular responsivity with respect to the incident spectral irradiance. In this work, the
spectral and angular effects are expressed as a combined correction factor. This study aims on the calculation of
correction factors for clear sky conditions, since high accuracy measurements or calibration measurements are usually
performed under this conditions. We compared the angular losses determined with our model to results of a current
state-of-the-art model for several types of solar cells and under different horizontal outdoor irradiation conditions as
case studies. We observed differences of more than 3.8 % in the angular loss of the photocurrent generated by the
diffuse irradiance. This method is also applicable for modeling indoor measurements using solar simulators
containing diffuse irradiance, as well as for the consideration of spectrally dependent albedo and bifacial modules at
outdoor conditions. The authors suggest to develop an international standard addressing one of the most important
key findings of this study: the angular mismatch correction procedure.

Performance art: the abject and the political

description: This practice-based research project addresses questions relating to female embodiment, patriarchal structures and the way capitalism creates marginalised subjects. As an important element of the research I have focused on performance art that centers on both the abject and the political as their subject matter. The abject can be described as that which disturbs the boundary between nature and society, disrupting paternal law and the border between the interior and exterior of the body. Objects and actions that can be described as abject are exclusionary because of their confrontational nature and emphasis on a state in which the psyche disturbs civil society and identity. The abject can therefore be seen in a political sense, with those that are marginalised such as women, the poor and exprisoners, inhabiting a space of abjection. I am interested in this subject matter because I feel that it is important to look at the way that our society demarcates and excludes based on gender, race and class. I am also interested in the way that feminism can inform an ideological position in my art practice and its relationship to the abject. Looking historically to the way that abject and bodily substances have been used in art, as well as to the political performance art of the 1960s and 70s, I have created three performances that address societal attitudes to consumerism, desire and the female body.

PV Module Performance and Reliability

description: 33rd European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 1383-1390
description: Due to the high solar irradiation and the large number of sunny days the use of large PV systems in desert areas
is very profitable. However, the PV modules are exposed to harsh environmental conditions such as high temperatures, high
UV radiation or sandstorms. Currently there is no suitable standardized method for testing the abrasion resistance of PV
modules and solar glass under sandstorm conditions. Qualification testing of PV modules for arid climate conditions will
require to include a sand abrasion test and a dry cleaning resistivity test. In order to be able to assess the individual
influencing factors in more detail, this work examines the sand trickling tests defined in DIN 52348 [1] and ASTM D968-05
[2] in detail. Furthermore, we developed a test facility, which can be used to simulate the impacts of desert sand on the
surface of PV modules and solar glasses. Via transmittance and reflectance measurements on PV modules and solar glass
sheets before and after sand abrasion tests, the samples are characterized and their resistance to desert conditions is assessed.

description: A computational framework is developed to address capillary self-focusing in Step Emulsification. The microfluidic system consists of a single shallow and wide microchannel that merges into a deep reservoir. A continuum approach coupled with a volume of fluid method is used to model the capillary self-focusing effect. The original governing equations are reduced using the Hele-Shaw approximation. We show that the interface between the two fluids takes the shape of a neck narrowing in the flow direction just before entering the reservoir, in agreement with our experimental observations. Our computational model relies on the assumption that the pressure at the boundary, where the fluid exits into the reservoir, is the uniform pressure in the reservoir. We investigate this hypothesis by comparing the numerical results with experimental data. We conjecture that the pressure boundary condition becomes important when the width of the neck is comparable to the depth of the microchannel. A correction to the exit pressure boundary condition is then proposed, which is determined by comparison with experimental data. We also present the experimental observations and the numerical results of the transitions of breakup regimes.

description: We propose new epitaxial III-V compond layer transfer technique by peeling from Si substrate via van der Waals interface of (InxGa1-x)2Se3. To demonstrate this idea, the double layers of In2Se3 and GaAs were grown on Si(111) 4o off substrate by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). Epitaxial growth of -In2Se3 and GaAs on Si(111) can be confirmed by the XRD pole figure measurement. The epitaxial GaAs layer was successfully transferred onto flexible PMMA sheet by just pulling in both directions. It was confirmed that GaAs layer is peeled from Si substrate via van der Waals interface in -In2Se3 layer. We propose this layer transfer technique is applicable to the fabrication of thin film flexible multi-junction solar cells. However, 60o rotation twin formation and island growth of GaAs occurred at the current growth condition. These problems should be solved by optimizing growth conditions.

description: Aims: We aim at investigating the time-behaviour of a sample of gamma-ray blazars. We present the results from a 13 month-long optical photometry monitoring campaign of the blazars PKS 0048-097, PKS 0754+100, HB89 0827+243, PKS 0851+202, PKS 1253-055, PKS1510-089, PKS 1749+096, PKS 2230+114 and PKS 2251+158. Methods: We analyse the variability of each object, focusing on different time-scales (long term, short term, and microvariability), in an attempt to achieve a statistical comparison of the results. Results: After applying a geometric model to explain the variability results, we found that it is possible that a slight change in the direction of the jet generates the variations detected in some objects during this campaign.

description: This paper presents the collaboration initiative by the Universities of Cyprus and Jaén, Spain named as “DEGRADE-CPV”. This effort aims in quantifying the degradation rates and modes of different systems based on the concentrating photovoltaic (CPV) technology. Knowledge of degradation is crucial for the reduction of investment risk and also to increase the bankability. The methodology and experimental campaigns conducted at both locations are described and the results of the indoor characterisation using the Helios 3198 solar simulator are presented in this work. The preliminary outdoor characterisation highlights the importance of incorporating corrections on the quantification of the degradation rate.

description: Одним из действенных средств в международной торговле стало использование аукционов, как одной из форм рыночных отношений. Аукционы нашли широкое распространение в мировой практике. Это связано прежде всего с тем, что аукционы доказали свою эффективность в создании реальной конкуренции во время торгов. На аукционах возможна реализация большого объема товаров или размещение заказов на большие и сложные объекты. Авторы дают представление о сущности и особенностях организации международных аукционов, а также об особенностях функционирования и развития аукционов в условиях применения санкций как оружия мировых торговых войн.

description: A child emerging from infancy, interpreting sensory influences and moving into early childhood is at an ideal stage for growth in more involved learning. Through the research conducted, through activity concepts and interpreted responses, this thesis looks to construct a positive case study of Cognitive Development: the process of learning through participating, exploring and processing. The aim of these studies is to conceptualise and develop - with age-appropriate involvement - design-awareness activities which would be best suited to 5 to 9 year olds. This combined, during conceptualisation of activities, with references to leading practitioners past and present, their research regarding childhood stages, as well as related studies in sensory development in children. Aspects such as symbolic meanmg, abstract conceptualisation and abductive thinking are conveyed in the final activities and presented m conjunction with the written component of this Masters.

description: The research project The Affective Capacity of Things: encountering the intensive spatial and temporal conditions of the sculptural project, is to examine the concept of sculpture as an experiment, one in which a multiplicity of spatial and temporal relations occw- when activated. This research maps the web of relations activated in the studio-project via the process of constructing a series of propositional sculptural spaces. The function of the research is to generate a series of connections across contexts that develop a deeper understanding of the structuring conditions of sculptural practice as a spatial production. This is done by drawing from philosophy, architectural theory, art theory and practices to develop new connections and new modes of conceiving space. The questions that have oriented this research are: • How does the studio-project work to activate space? • What are the structuring conditions of the studio-project? and What is its capacity to generate new modes of spatial and temporal relations?
Bar instability in disk-halo systems

description: We show that the exponential growth rate of a bar in a stellar disk is substantially greater when the disk is embedded in a live halo than in a rigid one having the same mass distribution. We also find that the vigor of the instability in disk-halo systems varies with the shape of the halo velocity ellipsoid. Disks in rigid halos that are massive enough to be stable by the usual criteria, quickly form bars in isotropic halos and much greater halo mass is needed to avoid a strong bar; thus stability criteria derived for disks in rigid halos do not apply when the halo is responsive. The study presented here is of an idealized family of models with near uniform central rotation and that lack an extended halo; we present more realistic models with extended halos in a companion paper. The puzzle presented by the absence of strong bars in some galaxies having gently rising inner rotation curves is compounded by the results presented here.

PV Module Performance and Reliability

description: 33rd European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 1302-1311
description: Continued growth of PV system deployment would be enhanced by quantitative, low-uncertainty predictions
of the degradation and failure rates of PV modules and systems. The intended product lifetime (decades) far
exceeds the product development cycle (months), limiting our ability to reduce the uncertainty of the predictions for
this rapidly changing technology. Yet, business decisions (setting insurance rates, analyzing return on investment,
etc.) require quantitative risk assessment. Moving toward more quantitative assessments requires consideration of
many factors, including the intended application, consequence of a possible failure, variability in the manufacturing,
installation, and operation, as well as uncertainty in the measured acceleration factors, which provide the basis for
predictions based on accelerated tests. As the industry matures, it is useful to periodically assess the overall strategy
for standards development and prioritization of research to provide a technical basis both for the standards and the
analysis related to the application of those. To this end, this paper suggests a tiered approach to creating risk assessments.
Recent and planned potential improvements in international standards are also summarized.
