Numerical crack path prediction under mixed-mode loading in 1D quasicrystals
(2017-03)
Quasicrystals are being implemented in industry since this new class of materials appears to have some peculiar properties. However, the fracture behavior of quasicrystals is not yet clear, which could be a hindrance to its wide usage. This work adopts the generalized linear elastic framework of fracture theory in quasicrystals and develops numerical tools in a finite element environment to compute the fracture quantities. Crack growth is simulated in diverse specimens undergoing an intrinsic mixed-mode loading and ...

Transfer characteristics of white light interferometers and confocal microscopes
(2017-11-23)
Optical profilers present significant advantages in comparison with stylus profilometry and scanning probe microscopy due to their non-contacting technique and their ability to scan the entire measurement field simultaneously. However, optical profilers suffer from different systematical artifacts. The dissertation investigates the transfer characteristics of optical profilometers, namely white light interferometers and confocal microscopes.
In white light interferometry dispersion in the optical system leads to ...

Development, Evaluation and Optimization of Fabrication Processes for Daylight Guiding Systems Based on Micromirror Arrays
(2017-01-11)
In this work, fabrication processes for daylight guiding systems based on micromirror arrays are developed, evaluated and optimized.Two different approaches are used: At first, nanoimprint lithography is used to fabricate large area micromirrors by means of Substrate Conformal Imprint Lithography (SCIL).Secondly,a new lithography technique is developed using a novel bi-layered photomask to fabricate large area micromirror arrays. The experimental results showing a reproducible stable process, high yield, and is ...

Optical Sensor Array based Nanospectrometer: Fabrication of high resolution 3D NanoImprint master templates and bonding of Fabry-Pérot filter array onto photodetector array
(2017-05-11)
In the field of optical spectroscopy, spectrometers are high resolution optical sensors that have emerged as a platform for a wide range of application fields. Commercially available spectrometers are bulky and expensive. Hence, this limits its integration into modern mobile and wearable devices. To overcome this limitation, miniaturization of spectrometers is an interesting target for a wide range of emerging applications. The most attractive concept of fabricating miniaturized spectrometers is the Fabry-Pérot filter ...

Beating the limits with initial correlations
(2017-11-28)
Fast and reliable reset of a qubit is a key prerequisite for any quantum technology. For real world open quantum systems undergoing non-Markovian dynamics, reset implies not only purification, but in particular erasure of initial correlations between qubit and environment. Here, we derive optimal reset protocols using a combination of geometric and numerical control theory. For factorizing initial states, we find a lower limit for the entropy reduction of the qubit as well as a speed limit. The time-optimal solution ...

Optimierung von Nanostrukturen in Dielektrika für biomedizinische und technische Applikationen durch zeitlich geformte Femtosekunden-Laserpulse
(2017-09-28)
Das Ablationsverhalten von Dielektrika wird in Abhängigkeit von unterschiedlich zeitlich geformten Femtosekunden-Laserpulsen analysiert. Dabei entstehen unterschiedlich tiefe Strukturen im Nano- und Mikrometerbereich. In zwei Anwendungsbeispielen wird deren Anwendbarkeit für biomedizinische und technische Applikationen beschrieben.

Time-of-Flight Three Dimensional Neutron Diffraction in Transmission Mode for Mapping Crystal Grain Structures
(2017-08-25)
The physical properties of polycrystalline materials depend on their microstructure, which is the nano- to centimeter scale arrangement of phases and defects in their interior. Such microstructure depends on the shape, crystallographic phase and orientation, and interfacing of the grains constituting the material. This article presents a new non-destructive 3D technique to study centimeter-sized bulk samples with a spatial resolution of hundred micrometers: time-of-flight three-dimensional neutron diffraction (ToF ...
