Terahertz Detection and Mixing Using Two-Dimensional Materials
Creators: name: Leong, Edward Siokei
Publisher: name: Digital Repository at the University of Maryland
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Electrical engineering

description: The discovery of graphene in 2004 and the rise of the two-dimensional materials

provide an excellent platform for developing optoelectronics for terahertz (THz)

detection and mixing. For graphene and black phosphorus, their high carrier mobility,

attractive electrical and thermal properties show promises for tunable terahertz

technology.

In the first part of the thesis, we discuss the THz photoresponse of black phosphorus

(BP). The rediscovery of BP as a two-dimensional material in 2014 has drawn

attention to its near and mid-infrared application. Here, we present an ultrafast THz

detector based on black phosphorus with high efficiency at room temperature. The

detector has a noise equivalent power of 130 µW/√

Hz at 2.5 THz, and an ultrafast

photoresponse of about 20 ps was observed. Two detection mechanisms were observed:

a strong photothermoelectric effect and a weak bolometric effect. The high

carrier mobility allows BP to absorb THz radiation through free-carrier absorption,

even thought the photon energy (10 meV) is far below the band gap (300 meV) of

the material. The intrinsic responsivity of BP is also estimated via a Joule-heating

experiment and using a free-carrier model.

In the second part of the thesis, we discuss down frequency mixing and the

fabrication process of a graphene FET mixer. Graphene exhibits a significant change

in conductivity when the Fermi energy is altered by applying a gate voltage. Near

the Dirac point, graphene field effect transistors (FETs) show a strongly nonlinear

response (i.e. a nonlinear change in resistivity with applied gate voltage) that can

be exploited to provide efficient rectification and mixing of THz signals. Although

rectification in graphene field-effect transistors has been demonstrated, heterodyne

mixing in the THz band has not been explored. We examine a THz graphene

mixer using an antenna-coupled graphene FET configuration. We will discuss the

antenna and graphene device design optimized for heterodyne mixing at 0.35 THz.

In addition, fabrication and preliminary measurements of a microwave frequency

prototype will be presented to demonstrate the principle of the operation.

description: Submerged Gravel Wetlands (SGWs) are subsurface-flow wetlands, and are effective stormwater control measures (SCM). Compost addition has many properties beneficial to SGWs but may also lead to leaching of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P). To investigate nutrient leaching effects of leaf-and-grass compost addition in SGWs, mesocosm studies were conducted using bioretention soil media (BSM) mixed with 30% and 15% compost, by volume. Synthetic stormwater was applied to mesocosms and effluent analyzed for N and P. Compost-added mesocosms were found to leach N and P. Maximum N concentrations of 16 and 6.4 mg-N/L were reached after 1.7 and 3.0 cm of rainfall for 15% and 30%, respectively. Maximum P concentrations of 2.9 and 0.52 mg-P/L were both reached after 2.5 cm for 30% and 15%, respectively. Particulate P was the dominant P species found in effluent samples, while N species were mixed. Although compost addition led to leaching of N and P, treatment of both nutrients was achieved, with the 15%, reaching a net-zero export of P after the equivalent of 20 cm of rainfall. Nitrogen treatment was attributed to denitrification and plant and microbial uptake. Phosphorus treatment was attributed primarily to adsorption.

description: Detecting protoplanets during their formation stage is an important but elusive goal of modern astronomy. Kinematic detections via the spiral wakes in the gaseous disc are a promising avenue to achieve this goal. We aim to test the applicability to observations in the low and intermediate planet mass regimes of a commonly used semi-analytical model for planet induced spiral waves. In contrast with previous works which proposed to use the semi-analytical model to interpret observations, in this study we analyse for the first time both the structure of the velocity and density perturbations. We run a set of FARGO3D hydrodynamic simulations and compare them with the output of the semi-analytic model in the code wakeflow, which is obtained by solving Burgers' equation using the simulations as an initial condition. We find that the velocity field derived from the analytic theory is discontinuous at the interface between the linear and nonlinear regions. After 0.2 r$_p$ from the planet, the behaviour of the velocity field closely follows that of the density perturbations. In the low mass limit, the analytical model is in qualitative agreement with the simulations, although it underestimates the azimuthal width and the amplitude of the perturbations, predicting a stronger decay but a slower azimuthal advance of the shock fronts. In the intermediate regime, the discrepancy increases, resulting in a different pitch angle between the spirals of the simulations and the analytic model. The implementation of a fitting procedure based on the minimisation of intensity residuals is bound to fail due to the deviation in pitch angle between the analytic model and the simulations. In order to apply this model to observations, it needs to be revisited accounting also for higher planet masses.

Exploring the unexpected: Disharmonized harmonic pulsation modes in high-amplitude $δ$ Scuti stars

Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)

description: Harmonics are a ubiquitous feature across various pulsating stars. They are traditionally viewed as mere replicas of the independent primary pulsation modes and have thus been excluded from asteroseismological models. Recent research, however, has uncovered a significant discrepancy: in high-amplitude $δ$ Scuti (HADS) stars, harmonics exhibit uncorrelated variations in amplitude and frequency relative to their independent primary pulsation modes. The nature of these disharmonized harmonics is a question of critical importance. In our study we analysed five triple-mode HADS stars observed by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) and discovered some pervasive patterns of disharmonized harmonics in both the fundamental ($f_0$) and first overtone ($f_1$) pulsation modes. Intriguingly, through an in-depth frequency interaction analysis of V1393 Cen, we identified $2f_1$ as an independent pulsation mode, distinct from $f_1$, and identified it as the progenitor of the frequency variations observed in $3f_1$, $4f_1$, $5f_1$, and $6f_1$. Similar behaviour can be found in DO CMi and GSC 06047-00749, in which $2f_1$ and $3f_1$ are the independent pulsation modes, respectively. Notably, we found an interesting pattern when decomposing the harmonics that might suggest a generation process of harmonics. These findings serve as a new window on the research of harmonics, which remains a hidden corner of contemporary asteroseismology.

description: The investigation of plasma motions in the solar chromosphere is crucial for understanding the transport of mechanical energy from the interior of the Sun to the outer atmosphere and into interplanetary space. We report the finding of large-amplitude oscillatory transverse motions prevailing in the non-spicular Halpha chromosphere of a small quiet region near the solar disk center. The observation was carried out on 2018 August 25 with the Microlensed Hyperspectral Imager (MiHI) installed as an extension to the spectrograph at the Swedish Solar Telescope (SST). MiHi produced high-resolution Stokes spectra of the Halpha line over a two-dimensional array of points (sampled every 0.066 arcsec on the image plane) every 1.33 s for about 17 min. We extracted the Dopple-shift-insensitive intensity data of the line core by applying a bisector fit to Stoke I line profiles. From our time-distance analysis of the intensity data, we find a variety of transverse motions with velocity amplitudes of up to 40 km/s in fan fibrils and tiny filaments. In particular, in the fan fibrils, large-amplitude transverse MHD waves were seen to occur with a mean velocity amplitude of 25 km/s and a mean period of 5.8 min, propagating at a speed of 40 km/s. These waves are nonlinear and display group behavior. We estimate the wave energy flux in the upper chromosphere at 3 x 10^6 erg cm^-2 s^-1. Our results contribute to the advancement of our understanding of the properties of transverse MHD waves in the solar chromosphere.

description: Metaphors are products of people's cognition and they are inevitable part of our everyday life and conversation. For several years, until 1980 - CMT - Conceptual Metaphor Theory was worked out by Lakoff and Johnson metaphors used to be treated as an unusual embellishment used only in literature or/and poetry. However, in Metaphors We Live By (1980) Lakoff and Johnson proved the contradictory. Metaphors are used by people on a daily basis without even noticing that they are actually speaking with metaphors. In this article we can observe several examples of conceptual metaphors used in different contexts.

description: In this paper, we introduce a metric to evaluate the equity in mobility and a routing framework to enhance the metric within multi-modal intelligent transportation systems. The mobility equity metric (MEM) simultaneously accounts for service accessibility and transportation costs to quantify the equity and fairness in a transportation network. Finally, we develop a system planner integrated with MEM that aims to distribute travel demand for the transportation network, resulting in a socially optimal mobility system. Our framework results in a transportation network that is efficient in terms of travel time, improves accessibility, and ensures equity in transportation.

description: The kinetic temperature structure of the massive filament DR21 has been mapped using the IRAM 30 m telescope. This mapping employed the para-H$_2$CO triplet ($J_{\rm K_aK_c}$ = 3$_{03}$--2$_{02}$, 3$_{22}$--2$_{21}$, and 3$_{21}$--2$_{20}$) on a scale of $\sim$0.1 pc. By modeling the averaged line ratios of para-H$_{2}$CO with RADEX under non-LTE assumptions, the kinetic temperature of the dense gas was derived at a density of $n$(H$_{2}$) = 10$^{5}$ cm$^{-3}$. The para-H$_2$CO lines reveal significantly higher temperatures than NH$_3$ (1,1)/(2,2) and FIR wavelengths. The dense clumps appear to correlate with the notable kinetic temperature. Among the four dense cores (N44, N46, N48, and N54), temperature gradients are observed on a scale of $\sim$0.1-0.3 pc. This suggests that the warm dense gas is influenced by internal star formation activity. With the exception of N54, the temperature profiles of these cores were fitted with power-law indices ranging from $-$0.3 to $-$0.5. This indicates that the warm dense gas is heated by radiation emitted from internally embedded protostar(s) and/or clusters. While there is no direct evidence supporting the idea that the dense gas is heated by shocks resulting from a past explosive event in the DR21 region, our measurements toward the DR21W1 region provide compelling evidence that the dense gas is indeed heated by shocks originating from the western DR21 flow. Higher temperatures appear to be associated with turbulence. The physical parameters of the dense gas in the DR21 filament exhibit a remarkable similarity to the results obtained in OMC-1 and N113. This may imply that the physical mechanisms governing the dynamics and thermodynamics of dense gas traced by H$_{2}$CO in diverse star formation regions may be dominated by common underlying principles despite variations in specific environmental conditions.

description: Two-dimensional transition metal carbides and nitrides (MXenes) are a perspective group of materials with a broad palette of applications. Surface terminations are a product of the MXene preparation, and post-processing can also lead to partial coverage. Despite applicability and fundamental properties being driven by termination patterns, it is not fully clear, how they behave on MXene surfaces with various degrees of surface coverage. Here, as the first step, we used density functional theory to predict possible patterns in prototypic Ti$_2$C MXene, demonstrating the different behavior of the two most frequent terminal atoms, oxygen, and fluorine. Oxygen (with formal charge -2$e$) prefers a zigzag line both-side adsorption pattern on bare Ti$_2$C, attracting the next adsorbent to a minimal distance. Oxygen defects in fully O-terminated MXene tend to form similar zigzag line vacancy patterns. On the other hand, fluorine (with a formal charge of -1$e$) prefers one-side flake (island) adsorption on bare Ti$_2$C and a similar desorption style from fully fluorinated Ti$_2$C. MXene magnetic behavior is subsequently driven by the patterns, either compensating locally and holding the global magnetic state of the MXene until some limit (oxygen case) or gradually increasing total magnetism by summing of local effects (fluorine case). The systematic combinatoric study of Ti$_2$CT$_x$ with various coverages ($0 \leq x \leq 2$) of distinct terminal atoms T = O or F brings encouraging possibilities of tunable behavior of MXenes and provides useful guidance for its modeling towards electronic nanodevices.

description: Zr-based MXenes recently attracted attention because of its experimental preparation showing temperature stability, mechanical strength, and promising energy, sensoric, and electrochemistry applications. However, necessary theoretical predictions at a precise/predictive level are complicated due to essential excitonic features and strong electron correlation (i.e., a necessity to go beyond standard density functional theory, DFT). Contrary to the prevailing focus on oxygen-terminated MXenes and standard predictions of other Zr-based MXenes as conductors, based on the hybrid DFT and GW many-body perturbational theory, we were able to find seven different semiconductors (five of them for their equilibrium geometry and two others under slight tensile biaxial strain) in the case of two- and three-layered Zr$_2$CT$_2$ and Zr$_3$C$_2$T$_2$ configurations with various terminations (T = O, F, S, Cl). We observed semiconductor-to-conductor transition induced by strain in the majority of such Zr-based MXenes at experimentally achievable strain range. Furthermore, using the Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE), we demonstrated that selected semiconducting Zr-based MXenes possess high optical absorption efficiency (20-30%) in the visible light range, underscoring their potential in photonic applications. The high sensitivity of Zr-based MXenes to external conditions and functionalization combined with the thermal stability make the materials promising for applications at operational temperatures in electronic and optical technologies.

description: Pulsars are detected over the whole electromagnetic spectrum, from radio wavelengths up to very high energies, in the GeV-TeV range. Whereas the radio emission site for young pulsars is well constrained to occur at altitudes about several percent of the light-cylinder radius and $γ$-ray emission is believed to be produced in the striped wind, outside the light-cylinder, their non-thermal X-ray production site remains unknown. The aim of this letter is to localize the non-thermal X-ray emission region based on multi-wavelength pulse profile fitting for PSR J2229+6114, a particularly good candidate due to its high X-ray brightness. Based on the geometry deduced from the joint radio and $γ$-ray pulse profiles, we fix the magnetic axis inclination angle and the line of sight inclination angle but we leave the region of X-ray emission unlocalised, somewhere between the surface and the light-cylinder. We localize this region and its extension by fitting the X-ray pulse profile as observed by the NICER, NuSTAR and RXTE telescopes in the ranges 2-7 keV, 3-10 keV and 9.4-22.4 keV, respectively. We constrain the non-thermal X-ray emission to arise from altitudes between $0.2\,r_L$ and $0.55\,r_L$ where $r_L$ is the light cylinder radius. The magnetic obliquity is approximately $α\approx 45°-50°$ and the line of sight inclination angle $ζ\approx 32°-48°$. This letter is among the first works to tightly constrain the location of the non-thermal X-ray emission from pulsars. We plan to apply this procedure to several other good candidates to confirm this new result.

description: Observations of nearby massive galaxies have revealed that they are older and richer in metals and magnesium than their low-mass counterparts. In particular, the overabundance of magnesium compared to iron, [Mg/Fe], is interpreted to reflect the short star formation history that the current massive galaxies underwent early in the Universe. We present a systematic revision of the [Mg/Fe] - velocity dispersion ($σ$) relation based on stacked spectra of early-type galaxies with a high signal-to-noise ratio from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). Using the penalized pixel-fitting (pPXF) method of Cappellari & Emsellem 2004 and the Vazdekis et al. 2015 MILES single stellar population (SSP) models, we fit a wide optical wavelength range to measure the net $α$-abundance. The combination of pPXF and $α$-enhanced MILES models incorrectly leads to an apparently decreasing trend of [$α$/Fe] with velocity dispersion. We interpret this result as a consequence of variations in the individual abundances of the different $α$-elements. This warrants caution for a naïve use of full spectral fitting algorithms paired with stellar population models that do not take individual elemental abundance variations into account, especially when deriving averaged quantities such as the mean [$α$/Fe] of a stellar population. In addition, and based on line-strength measurements, we quantify the impact of a non-universal initial mass function on the recovered abundance pattern of galaxies. In particular, we find that a simultaneous fit of the slope of the initial mass function and the [Mg/Fe] results in a shallower [Mg/Fe]-$σ$ relation. Therefore, our results suggest that star formation in massive galaxies lasted longer than what has been reported previously, although it still occurred significantly faster than in the solar neighbourhood.

description: With an extremely high dimensionality, the spatial degree of freedom of entangled photons is a key tool for quantum foundation and applied quantum techniques. To fully utilize the feature, the essential task is to experimentally characterize the multiphoton spatial wave function including the entangled amplitude and phase information at different evolutionary stages. However, there is no effective method to measure it. Quantum state tomography is costly, and quantum holography requires additional references. Here we introduce quantum Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensing to perform efficient and reference-free measurement of the biphoton spatial wave function. The joint probability distribution of photon pairs at the back focal plane of a microlens array is measured and used for amplitude extraction and phase reconstruction. In the experiment, we observe that the biphoton amplitude correlation becomes weak while phase correlation shows up during free-space propagation. Our work is a crucial step in quantum physical and adaptive optics and paves the way for characterizing quantum optical fields with high-order correlations or topological patterns.

description: I believe people can have a relationship with another human being across space and time through art.  The research question examines how architecture can facilitate a personal relationship across space and time by exhibiting art, beauty, knowledge, artifacts of human creativity, and ideas and objects of artistic expression through an art museum on a college campus.  This thesis provides an opportunity to work with potential stakeholders on a project that is in the beginning stages of thinking called the Phillips Collection and David C. Driskell Contemporary and Modern Art Center at the University of Maryland (title in process).  The applied design research will investigate the implications of an art museum and a university research/teaching center.  The Phillips Collection (Washington D.C.) is a collection of over 4,000 works set in the home of Duncan Phillips (1886‒1966).  The David C. Driskell Center (University of Maryland, College Park), established in 2001, honors the legacy of David C. Driskell - Distinguished University Professor Emeritus of Art, Artist, Art Historian, Collector, Curator, and Philanthropist – by celebrating African American visual art.  Both collections have outgrown their space and are seeking a partnership in which to expand their ideas and collections.

	This thesis addresses questions about the organization of museum typology in a university setting, the value of collecting art, aesthetic experience, affirming cultural identity, increasing status of place, and the relationship of architecture and art.  Through designing the program and building, I will explore the potential for partnership between the University of Maryland, David C. Driskell Center, and the Phillips Collection by supporting aesthetic and spatial experiences.

description: The severed relationship between Iran and the United States is encapsulated within the abandoned architecture of the former Iranian Embassy. In essence, architecture has become the physical manifestation of a problem. This thesis will investigate how architecture can embody cultural healing by revitalizing the abandoned site of the former Iranian embassy. Indeed, architecture has the presence and authority necessary to begin to mend severed ties between two major global entities. Ultimately, the project proposes a Gozar—an arrangement of architectural interventions within a cultural park which reveals the true culture: the food, music, costume, language—of Iran, as a way of combating the stereotypes about Iran that have prevailed throughout the United States. The proposed cultural park seeks to bring hope and vibrant interaction within this underutilized space. Temporary, yet timeless, interventions located within the premises of the abandoned Iranian Embassy will create a place that engages visitors with the customs and history of Iran.

description: We investigate the evolution of minimum energy configurations for the Full Three Body Problem (3BP). A stable ternary asteroid system will gradually become unstable due to the Yarkovsky-O’Keefe-Radzievskii-Paddack (YORP) effect and an unpredictable trajectory will ensue. Through the interaction of tidal torques, energy in the system will dissipate in the form of heat until a stable minimum energy configuration is reached. We present a simulation that describes the dynamical evolution of three bodies under the mutual effects of gravity and tidal torques. Simulations show that bodies do not get stuck in local minima and transition to the predicted minimum energy configuration.

subject: SOFC

description: The combination of the conventional cathode material, La0.8Sr0.2MnO3-𝛿 (LSM), and exceptional oxygen ion conducting material, (Er0.2Bi0.8)2O3 (ESB), has shown promise as a potential candidate for low temperature solid oxide fuel cell (LT-SOFC) cathodes. Though the initial performance of this composite is encouraging, the long-term stability of LSM-ESB has yet to be investigated. Here electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was used to in situ monitor the durability of LSM-ESB at typical LT-SOFC operation temperatures. The degradation rate as a function of aging time was extracted based on the EIS data. Post analysis suggests that below 600 °C the order-disorder transition of ESB limits the performance due to a decrease in the oxygen incorporation rate. Above 600°C, the formation of secondary phases, identified as Mn-Bi-O, is the major performance degradation mechanism. Furthermore, the relative particle size of the LSM to ESB was optimized to minimize long-term degradation in cathode performance.

description: Optical emission line diagnostics, which are a common tool to constrain the properties of the interstellar medium (ISM) of galaxies, become progressively inaccessible at higher redshifts for ground-based facilities. Far-infrared (FIR) emission lines, which are redshifted into atmospheric windows accessible by ground-based sub-millimeter facilities, could provide alternative ISM diagnostics to optical emission lines. We investigate FIR line ratios involving [CII]$λ158 μ$m, [OIII]$λ88 μ$m, [OIII]$λ52 μ$m, [NII]$λ122 μ$m and [NIII$λ57 μ$m, using synthetic emission lines applied to a high-resolution (m$_{\rm gas}$= 883.4 M$_{\odot}$) cosmological zoom-in simulation, including radiative-transfer post processing with KramsesRT at z = 6.5. We find that the [CII]/[NII]122 ratio is sensitive to the temperature and density of photo-dissociation regions, and thus could be a useful tool to trace the properties of this gas phase in galaxies. We also find that [NII]/[NIII] is a good tracer of the temperature and [OIII]52/[OIII]88 a good tracer of the gas density of HII regions. Emission line ratios containing the [OIII]$λ88 μ$m line are sensitive to high velocity outflowing gas.

description: Accredited journalism schools acknowledge the need for strong internships, and provide basic guidance for newsrooms on administering internship programs. However, most newsroom intern supervisors begin with few other resources to build or improve a program. A survey of newsroom intern supervisors was undertaken to explore a range of internship environments, identify common practices and gauge interest in tools for improvement. In addition, a review of published literature pertinent to building, improving and running such a program was sought in order to provide a coaching framework to assist the newsroom supervisor. Most surveyed said they invented their program along the way and expressed an interest in other tools for improvement, but other production duties don’t leave much time for research. These modest survey results offer a peek through a doorway into a new field of internship research that offers much promise for future investigation.
Kintsugi: A New Framework For Post-Industrial Transformation

description: This thesis uses the Morse Chain factory in Ithaca, New York as a testing ground for the development and exploration of the kintsugi framework as a method for transformation of large-scale postindustrial sites.

Deindustrialization has had a profoundly destabilizing effect on many communities that were depended on industry. Abandoned industrial facilities are one of the primary visual markers of deindustrialization. Landscape architects employ two strategies for reclaiming these spaces - the conceal/camouflage approach or the reveal/reinterpret approach. These two approaches are typically presented in opposition to each other, which limits the design potential of these sites

The kintsugi framework blends these two operating modes, creating an exciting and interesting operating field for the transformation of post-industrial sites. Based on the traditional Japanese method of repairing broken pottery with gold inlay. This technique incorporates damage as the central element for metamorphosis and change.

description: Background: The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has significantly changed healthcare systems and medical education. Universities were required to develop innovative curricula based on remote and distance education to continue medical education. This prospective questionnaire-based study aimed to investigate the impact of COVID-19-associated remote learning on the surgical training of medical students. Methods: A 16-item questionnaire-based survey was distributed to medical students at the University Hospital of Münster before and after a surgical skills laboratory (SSL). Two cohorts were included: summer semester 2021 (COV-19), with rigorous social-distancing restrictions requiered SSL to be remotely, and winter semester 2021 (postCOV-19), in which the SSL was provided as a face-to-face, hands-on course. Results: Both, cohorts showed a significant improvement in self-assessment of pre- and post-course confidence. While no significant difference in the average gain in self-confidence for sterile working was observed between the two cohorts, improvement in self-confidence was significantly higher in the COV-19 cohort regarding skin suturing and knot tying (p < 0.0001). However the average improvement regarding history and physical was significantly higher in the postCOV-19 cohort (p < 0.0001). In subgroup analysis, gender-associated differences varied in the two cohorts and were not related to specific subtasks, while age-stratified analysis revealed superior results for younger students. Conclusion: The results of our study underline the usability, feasibility, and adequacy of remote learning for the surgical training of medical students. The on-site distance education version, presented in the study, allows the continuing of hands-on experience in a safe environment in compliance with governmental social-distancing restrictions.
