    Tesis (Master in Physics)--Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, 2020In this thesis, we will present the thermodynamic study of a model that considers the black hole as a condensation of gravitons (55) (56). We will obtain a correction to the Hawking temperature and a negative pressure for a black hole of mass M. In this way, the graviton condensate, which is assumed to be at the critical point defined by the condition µch=0, will have well-defined thermodynamic quantities P, V , Th, S, and U as any other Bose-Einstein condensate. We will also discuss the Kiselev black hole, which has the capacity to parametrize the most well-known spherically symmetric black holes. We will show that this is true, even at the thermodynamic level. Finally, we will present a new metric, which we will call the BEC-Kiselev black hole, that will allow us to extend the graviton condensate to the case of solutions with different types of the energy-momentum tensor.In this thesis, we will present the thermodynamic study of a model that considers the black hole as a condensation of gravitons (55) (56).

    Doutoramento em Ciência e Engenharia de MateriaisNesta tese, ferroeléctricos relaxor (I dont know uf the order is correct) de base Pb das familias (Pb,La)(Zr,Ti)O3 (PLZT), Pb(Mg1/3,Nb2/3)O3-PbTiO3 (PMN-PT), Pb(Zn1/3,Nb2/3)O3-PbTiO3 (PZN-PT) foram investigados e analisados. As propriedades ferroeléctricas e dieléctricas das amostras foram estudadas por métodos convencionais de macro e localmente por microscopia de força piezoeléctrica (PFM). Nos cerâmicos PLZT 9.75/65/35 o contraste da PFM à escala nanometrica _ foi investigado em função do tamanho e orientação dos grãos. Apurou-se que a intensidade do sinal piezoeléctrico das nanoestruturas diminui com o aumento da temperatura e desaparece a 490 K (La mol. 8%) e 420 K (9,5%). Os ciclos de histerese locais foram obtidos em função da temperatura. A evolução dos parâmetros macroscópicos e locais com a temperatura de superfície sugere um forte efeito de superfície nas transições de fase ferroeléctricas do material investigado. A rugosidade da parede de domínio é determinada por PFM para a estrutura de domínio natural existente neste ferroeléctrico policristalino. Além disso, os domínios ferroeléctricos artificiais foram criados pela aplicação de pulsos eléctricos à ponta do condutor PFM e o tamanho de domínio in-plane foi medido em função da duração do pulso. Todas estas experiências levaram à conclusão de que a parede de domínio em relaxors do tipo PZT é quase uma interface unidimensional. O mecanismo de contraste na superfície de relaxors do tipo PLZT é medido por PFMAs estruturas de domínio versus evolução da profundidade foram estudadas em cristais PZN-4,5%PT, com diferentes orientações através da PFM. Padrões de domínio irregulares com tamanhos típicos de 20-100 nm foram observados nas superfícies com orientação das amostras unpoled?. Pelo contrário, os cortes de cristal exibem domínios regulares de tamanho mícron normal, com os limites do domínio orientados ao longo dos planos cristalográficos permitidos. A existência de nanodomínios em cristais com orientação está provisoriamente (wrong Word) atribuída à natureza relaxor de PZN-PT, onde pequenos grupos polares podem formar-se em coindições de zero-field-cooling (ZFC). Estes nanodomínios são considerados como os núcleos do estado de polarização oposta e podem ser responsáveis pelo menor campo coercitivo para este corte de cristal em particular. No entanto, a histerese local piezoelétrica realizada pelo PFM à escala nanométrica indica uma mudança de comportamento de PZN-PT semelhante para ambas as orientações cristalográficas investigadas. A evolução das estruturas de domínio com polimento abaixo da superfície do cristal foi investigada. O domínio de ramificações e os efeitos de polarização de triagem após o polimento e as medições de temperatura têm sido estudados pela PFM e pela análise SEM. Além disso, verificou-se que a intensidade do sinal piezoeléctrico a partir das estruturas de nanodomínio diminui com o aumento da temperatura, acabando por desaparecer aos 430 K (orientaçáo ) e 470 K (orientação ). Esta diferença de temperatura nas transições de fase local em cristais de diferentes orientações é explicada pelo forte efeito de superfície na transição da fase ferroelétrica em relaxors.A comutação da polarização em relaxor ergódico e nas fases ferroeléctricas do sistema PMN-PT foram realizadas pela combinação de três métodos, Microscopia de Força Piezoeléctrica, medição de um único ponto de relaxamento eletromecânico e por ultimo mapeamento de espectroscopia de tensão. A dependência do comportamento do relaxamento na amplitude e tempo da tensão de pulso foi encontrada para seguir um comportamento logarítmico universal com uma inclinação quase constante. Este comportamento é indicativo da progressiva população dos estados de relaxamento lento, ao contrário de uma relaxação linear na presença de uma ampla distribuição do tempo de relaxamento. O papel do comportamento de relaxamento, da não-linearidade ferroeléctrica e da heterogeneidade espacial do campo na ponta da sonda de AFM sobre o comportamento do ciclo de histerese é analisada em detalhe. Os ciclos de histerese para ergódica PMN- 10%PT são mostrados como cineticamente limitados, enquanto que no PMN, com maior teor de PT, são observados verdadeiros ciclos de histerese ferroeléctrica com viés de baixa nucleação.In this thesis, Pb-based relaxor ferroelectrics of the (Pb,La)(Zr,Ti)O3 (PLZT), Pb(Mg1/3,Nb2/3)O3-PbTiO3 (PMN-PT), Pb(Zn1/3,Nb2/3)O3-PbTiO3 (PZN-PT) families were investigated and analyzed. Ferroelectric and dielectric properties of the samples were studied by conventional macroscopic methods and locally by piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM). In PLZT 9.75/65/35 ceramics the nanoscale PFM contrast was investigated as a function of grain size and grain orientation. It was found that the intensity of piezoresponse signal from nanodomain structure decreases with temperature and it disappears at 490 K (La mol. 8%) and 420 K (9.5%). Local hysteresis loops were obtained as a function of temperature. The evolution of the macroscopic and local parameters with temperature suggests strong surface effect on ferroelectric phase transition in the investigated materials. The domain wall roughness is determined with PFM for the natural domain structure existing in this polycrystalline ferroelectric. Besides, artificial ferroelectric domains were created by application of voltage pulses to the conducting PFM tip, and the in-plane domain size was measured as a function of pulse duration. All these experiments result in the conclusion that the domain wall in PZT-type relaxors is quasi one-dimensional interface. The mechanism of the surface contrast in PLZT-type relaxors is uncovered by PFM. Domain structures vs. depth evolution was studied in PZN-4.5%PT crystals with different orientation via PFM. Irregular domain patterns with the typical sizes 20-100 nm were observed on the (001)-oriented surfaces of unpoled samples. On the contrary, (111) crystal cuts exhibit normal micron-size regular domains with the domain boundaries directed along allowed crystallographic planes. The existence of nanodomains in (001)-oriented crystals is tentatively attributed to the relaxor nature of PZN-PT where small polar clusters may form under zero-field-cooling (ZFC) conditions. These nanodomains are considered as the nuclei of the opposite polarization state and can be responsible for the smaller coercive field for this particular crystal cut. However, local piezoelectric hysteresis performed by PFM on the nanometer scale indicates similar switching behavior of PZN-PT for both investigated crystallographic orientations. Evolution of the domain structures with polishing below the crystal surface has been investigated. The domain branching and polarization screening effects after polishing and temperatures measurements have been studied by PFM and SEM analysis. In addition, it was found what the intensity of piezoresponse signal from nanodomain structures decreases with temperature and finally disappears at 430 K ( orientation) and 470 K ( orientation). This difference of the temperature of local phase transitions for crystals of different orientaions is explained by strong surface effect on ferroelectric phase transition in relaxors. Polarization switching in ergodic relaxor and ferroelectric phases in the PMNPT system is studied using Piezoresponse Force Microscopy, single point electromechanical relaxation measurements, and voltage spectroscopy mapping. The dependence of relaxation behavior on voltage pulse amplitude and time was found to follow a universal logarithmic behavior with a nearly constant slope. This behavior is indicative of the progressive population of slow relaxation states, as opposed to a linear relaxation in the presence of a broad relaxation time distribution. The role of relaxation behavior, ferroelectric non-linearity, and the spatial inhomogeneity of the tip field on hysteresis loop behavior is analyzed in detail. The hysteresis loops for ergodic PMN-10%PT are shown to be kinetically limited, while in PMN with larger PT content, true ferroelectric hysteresis loops with low nucleation biases are observed.FCT - SFRH/BD/22391/200

    The well-posedness problem of Euler equations is one of the most intriguing yet difficult mathematical problems in fluids. The global existence of classical solutions of 2D Euler equations has been solved by H older, Wolibner and the global existence of weak solutions by Yudovich. Yet in 3D, due to of quadratic non-linearity and non-locality, the global well-posedness of Euler's equations remains unclear still. In 2013, Hou-Luo investigated 3D Euler's equations under the axisymmetric assumptions and observed numerical blow up on a ring of hyperbolic points on the boundary of the fluid domain. Their numerical simulation has shed important light on studying the evolution of vorticity of Euler equations. In this thesis, we propose and discuss a few models of 3D Euler equations. In particular, with the modi cations to the original models, we are able to gain uniform control in the direction of the flows for the modi ed models, which will then create a mathematical rigorous scenario reminiscent of Hou-Luo's numerical work. In these models, we show that solutions blow up in finite time for a wide range of initial data. The content of Chapter 2 includes a joint work with V. Hoang, M. Radosz and B. Orcan and content of Chapter 3 is a joint work with A. Kiselev. Both of these works are published and can be found in [1] and [2]. The content of Chapter 4 is being revised for publication

Holotype male on the slide accession number 1333 (IPEE RAS parasites) and paratypes (five males on slides 14301 a–e and five females on slides 14300 a–e) are deposited in the Museum of the Helminthological Collections of the Centre of Parasitology, A.N. Severtsov Institute of Ecology and Evolution, Russian Academy of Sciences. The voucher specimens, two females of L. bestium obtained from the dissections of Elliptorhina chopardi, are stored at the same collection (slides 14302 a–b). Bionomics. Intensity of the infection with Leidynema bestium of the Diploptera punctata: 1– 3 females and 1– 2 males per host. Molecular phylogenetic analysis. The LSU rDNA sequences of specimens obtained from both hosts were compared and found to be completely identical (Table 2). The final dataset of the obtained alignment for new and related species contained 650 positions. The LSU rDNA sequence of the new species has demonstrated the 42 bp difference with L.portentosae Van Waerebeke, 1978 and 68–70 bp difference with the type species L. appendiculatum. The nucleotide difference between L. appendiculatum and L. portentosae was 63 – 64 bp. Remarkably, the nucleotide sequences of L. appendiculatum were splitting onto two clades (Fig. 4), designated conditionally as clade A and clade B. The sequences of the clade A were obtained from Leidynema nematodes parasitizing in different cockroach genera (Blaberus Serville, 1831, Blatta Linnaeus, 1758, Periplaneta Burmeister, 1838, Shelfordella Adelung, 1910. The sequences of clade B were obtained from L. appendiculatum nematodes originating nearly exclusively from Periplaneta cockroaches with only sequence deposited under KY057029 originating from nematode parasitizing Pycnoscelus surinamensis (Linnaeus, 1758). The nucleotide difference between these two clades was in 10 bp. The distances between of L. bestium sp. n. and species of other thelastomatid genera associated with cockroaches were more remarkable accounting for 109 bp of Buzionema validum Kloss, 1966, 112 bp of Severianoia blapticola Guzeyeva, 2009, 121 bp of Cranifera cranifera (Chitwood, 1932), 138 bp of Aoruroides chubadaigaku Morffe, García, Hasegawa & Carreno, 2019 and 167 bp of Hammerschmidtiella keeneyi Carreno, 2017. Differential diagnosis. Morphology of L. bestium sp. n. demonstrates several features to distinguish it from the previously described species (Singh et al. 2014). The new species is characterised by the presence of lateral alae in both sexes with posterior margin of alae before the anal opening level, absence of a spike-like posterior termination of lateral alae in females, longitudinal striation of the anteriormost annuli in males; four pairs of male genital papillae, and the equatorial position of vulva. The lateral alae are present both in males and females of L. bestium sp. n. In this aspect the new species is similar to L. appendiculatum, L. delatorrei Chitwood, 1932; L. periplaneti Farooqui, 1967; L. orientalis Singh & Malti, 2004; L. saltense (Achinelly & Camino, 2008) and L. meerutensis Singh, Rastogi & Singh, 2014. Leidynema bestium sp. n. is closest to L. delatorrei in the presence of longitudinal striation of the first 15 annuli at the male anterior end (Leibersperger, 1960) and in the structure of a female tail filament (quite short, dagger-like), but differs in the total number of genital papillae in males (five in L. delatorrei vs four in L. bestium sp. n.). Lateral alae in L. delatorrei males end at cloaca level vs in 20 µm anterior to cloaca in L. bestium sp. n. The new species also differs from L. delatorrei in having the longer average male body (above 900 µm vs 680 µm in L. delatorrei). According to Singh et al. (2014), the vulva in L. delatorrei is displaced to anterior part of the body (V% = 41 – 43) while in the new species vulva is located in mid-body. The new species can be distinguished from the type species L. appendiculatum by the presence of longitudinal striations of annuli at the male anterior end, presence of four vs five genital papillae and the wider and shorter female tail filament.All remaining species of Leidynema, both sexes of which possess lateral alae can be distinguished from L. bestium sp. n. by the following unique features (Singh et al. 2014): five pairs of papillae in L. periplaneti and L. orientalis, anteriorly displaced excretory pore in L. saltense and asymmetrically disposed female ala posterior ends (spikes) in L. meerutensis. Thus, L. orientalis differs from the present species by the posterior position of vulva. L. saltense unlike L. bestium sp. n. n has more anterior position of the excretory pore. Leidynema meerutensis can be differentiated from L. bestium sp. n. in the presence of a terminal spike, i.e. pointed posterior end of female lateral alae vs not pointed.Published as part of Spiridonov, Sergei E. & Kiselev, Sergei M., 2022, Leidynema bestium sp. n.

    Crystal morphology and surface reactivity studies of calcium hydroxide

    No full text
    This thesis was submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy and awarded by Brunel University.Calcium hydroxide samples, obtained as a precipitate from the mixing of solutions of sodium hydroxide with a variety of calcium salts in the optional presence of ethanol and a silylating agent, have been characterised by the techniques of nitrogen adsorption, water vapour adsorption , thermogravimetric analysis, Fourier-transform infra-red spectroscopy, ultra-violet spectroscopy and electron microscopy. The morphology of the samples varied from octahedral crystals to hexagonal prisms to sheets. The individual morphology depends on the conditions of precipitation, the nature and concentration of the calcium salt(s) and the nature of the precipitation medium. It has been shown that a large excess of sodium hydroxide results in octahedral forms, calcium salt(s) in approximate equimolar amount or in large excess to the sodium hydroxide results in hexagonal forms, and sheets are formed in the presence of ethanolic precipitation medium. A poisoning mechanism has been suggested in terms of the morphological properties of the samples. It has been found that the sheet forms of calcium hydroxide can be stabilised by reaction with a silylating agent, resulting in greater thermal stability and chemical stability of the surface. Silylation was found not to occur by direct contact between the precipitated calcium hydroxide samples and silylating agents. Silylation only occurred when precipitation was carried out in the presence of a solution of the silylating agent in absolute ethanol. The silylation of the surface of calcium hydroxide has been found to stabilise the material. Reaction of this with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane formed an intermediate which subsequently reacted with p-nitrobenzoyl chloride to form an inorganic - organic composite. The technique of thermogravimetric analysis has been employed to measure the thermal stability of the samples. It has been found that the samples exhibit major weight losses at around 688K for the non-silylated samples and around 918K for the silylated samples. The BETnitrogen and the BET-H20 surface areas of the samples range typically from --1 to 43 m2g-1 , and from 9 to 798 m2g-1 respectively. On the basis of this evidence, taken together with the isotherm shapes it has been shown that: the samples are non-porous; non-silylated calcium hydroxide samples are more hydrophobic than the silylated samples, but upon heat-treatment in air below the decomposition temperature the silylated samples became more hydrophobic, whereas the non-silylated samples became more hydrophilic; samples heated in air at above the decomposition temperature exhibit a dramatic increase in hydrophilicity, the H 20-BET surface areas becoming —800 m2g-1 for non silylated samples, compared to 368 - 600 m 2g-1 for silylated samples, indicative of chemisorption following decomposition of the calcium hydroxide to form calcium oxide
