Chip scale monolithic integration of inductive and capacitive components by self-rolled-up membrane nanotechnology
No full textThis work reports a three-dimensional (3D) microwave L-C filter network enabled by a CMOS-compatible two-dimensional (2D) fabrication approach, which combines inductive (L) and capacitive (C) self-rolled-up membrane (S-RuM) components monolithically into a single L-C network structure, thereby greatly reducing the on-chip area footprint. The individual L-C elements are fabricated in-plane using standard semiconductor processing techniques, and subsequently triggered by the built-in stress to self-assemble and roll into cylindrical air-core architectures. By designing the planar structure geometry and constituent layer properties to achieve a specific number of turns with a desired inner diameter when the device is rolled up, the electrical characteristics can be engineered. The network layouts of the L and C components are also reconfigurable by selecting appropriate input, output, and ground contact routing topographies. The devices demonstrated here operate over the range of ~1-10 GHz. Their area and volume footprints are 0.095 mm2 and 0.01 mm3, respectively, which are ~10× smaller than most of the comparable conventional filter designs. These S-RuM-enabled 3D microtubular L-C filter networks represent a significant advancement for miniaturization and integration of RF devices for applications in mobile connectivity.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2022-12-01The student, Zhendong Yang, accepted the attached license on 2020-11-25 at 10:23.The student, Zhendong Yang, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2020-11-25 at 10:32.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2020-12-01 at 17:24.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #15960 on 2021-03-04 at 16:32:27Made available in DSpace on 2021-03-05T21:45:37Z (GMT).

No full textHuntington disease (HD) is a neurological disorder caused by polyglutamine expansions in mutated Huntingtin (mHtt) proteins, rendering them prone to form inclusion bodies (IB). We report that in yeast, such IB formation is a factor-dependent process subjected to age related decline. A genome-wide, high-content imaging approach, identified the E3 ubiquitin ligase, Ltn1 of the ribosome quality control complex (RQC) as a key factor required for IB formation, ubiquitination, and detoxification of model mHtt. The failure of Itn1 Delta cells to manage mHtt was traced to another RQC component, Tae2, and inappropriate control of heat shock transcription factor, Hsf1, activity. Moreover, super-resolution microscopy revealed that mHtt toxicity in RQC-deficient cells was accompanied by multiple mHtt aggregates altering actin cytoskeletal structures and retarding endocytosis. The data demonstrates that spatial sequestration of mHtt into IBs is policed by the RQC-Hsf1 regulatory system and that such compartmentalization, rather than ubiquitination, is key to mHtt detoxification
Reconfigurable antennas based on microplasma as a time-varying dielectric or conductor
No full textThe theme of this dissertation is the applications of microcavity plasmas to electromagnetically active devices in the mm-wave and µ-wave regions. There are three accomplishments reported in this dissertation: microplasma on a chip, plasma photonic crystals, and microplasma antennas. Dynamic behaviors of microplasma packets were described using four different microchannel designs. An array of microplasma jets were used to demonstrate plasma photonic crystals exhibiting narrowband attenuation at 157 GHz. Using a conductor behavior of microplasma, the first planar type plasma antennas were introduced and demonstrated.
First of all, four different designs of microchannels were explored and demonstrated including channels with different widths, spiral, Cornu spiral, and switchyard. Spatially periodic microplasma packets were observed in the microchannels with width between 300 and 700 µm. Circular shaped plasma packets were aligned at the center when the width was less than 450 µm; however, the shape transformed to triangular form and packets started to adhere to the adjacent wall due to the wall-plasma interaction. Two types of propagation in the spiral structure were also observed. Radial and azimuthal propagation velocities of 3 ±1 km/s and 8 ±1.5 km/s were recorded, respectively. From the Cornu spiral, ignition of the plasma at each of the center rings was observed due to the floating ground. In the switchyard design, the propagation starting point was controllable by inserting a sharp edge that causes the strongest electric field within the channels.
In addition, a plasma photonic crystal exhibiting narrowband attenuation at 157 GHz has been demonstrated. Photonic crystals comprising Bragg layers of microplasmas interspaced with air were made with arrays of microplasma jets. Room temperature vulcanization silicone was solidified from the liquid form within specific shaped mold to guide an array of microplasma jets. The pitch and diameter of each microplasma jet are 1 mm and 400 µm, respectively. Microplasma jets were driven by 20 kHz sinusoidal voltage with helium flow rate of 10 lpm. Time-averaged attenuation of 5% at 157.0 GHz with narrow bandwidth (~ 1 GHz) has been observed. The position of the line center was accurately predicted by simulation; however, the simulated and measured magnitudes of the peak attenuation disagree due to the duty cycle and uniformity of the plasma columns.
Lastly, this work introduced and demonstrated a first planar-type of plasma antenna. For a plasma patch antenna device, an aperture coupled feeding was chosen to avoid direct contact between the plasma and the microwave feeding line. Two or three layers of 1 mm quartz plates were used to generate plasma within quartz plates and FR-4 substrate was also used for the ground plane and the microstrip feeding line. Microplasma patch antenna data was compared with the simulation result. Also, a microplasma-enhanced patch antenna exhibiting 15% enhanced radiating power was observed at 5.12 GHz with an additional quartz layer with 12 mm x 12 mm copper patch.
In summary, this dissertation unveils new microplasma applications on electromagnetic waves and explores the behavior of microplasmas in a variety of microchannels.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2021-12-01The student, Hee Jun Yang, accepted the attached license on 2019-12-02 at 14:12.The student, Hee Jun Yang, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2019-12-02 at 14:42.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2019-12-02 at 15:42.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #14648 on 2020-02-28 at 17:37:10Made available in DSpace on 2020-03-02T22:38:49Z (GMT).

Next‐generation photochromic smart window: Wood‐derived cellulose flexible composites integrated thermal insulation, UV ‐shielding, and anti‐counterfeiting
No full textAbstract Addressing the dual challenges of global energy sustainability and dynamic optical management, we present an innovative flexible photochromic transparent fluorescent wood composite film (PT‐FWF) with molecular‐scale engineered design, fabricated through in situ Eu 3+ coordination on TEMPO‐oxidized cellulose scaffolds. This hierarchically structured material combines fluorescent wood film with hot‐pressing, impregnation, and coating (PMMA/WO 3 ) to achieve multimodal optical control. PT‐FWF demonstrates exceptional multifunctionality: 88% optical transparency, 107.5° ± 1.0° hydrophobicity surface, and thermal insulation (Δ T ≈ 5.5°C). A unique dual‐mode photoresponsive mechanism enables through synergistic photochromic‐fluorescent effects: instantaneous fluorescence under UV light and coloring/bleaching with or without light‐assisted (UV or simulated sunlight). The smart window model exhibits over 90% UV‐blocking efficiency, and the transmittance of the smart window can be reversibly switched between 88% and 5% under prolonged light conditions, showing a high modulation of visible light (∆ T lum = 83%) at 1030 nm, enabling simultaneous daylight optimization and energy conservation. This molecular‐scale engineered wood composite defines a transformative platform for adaptive optical materials, merging energy‐efficient architectural solutions with information encryption through sunlight‐regulated smart windows that simultaneously enable environmental protection and anti‐counterfeiting. imageNatural Science Foundation of Jiangsu Province https://doi.org/10.13039/50110000460
