Nanotechnology is a rapidly developing branch of science, which is focused on the study of phenomena at the nanometer scale, in particular related to the possibilities of matter manipulation. One of the main goals of nanotechnology is the development of controlled, reproducible, and industrially transposable nanostructured materials.
The conventional technique of thin-film growth by deposition of atoms, small atomic clusters and molecules on surfaces is the general method, which is often used in nanotechnology for production of new materials. Recent experiments show, that patterns with different morphology can be formed in the course of nanoparticles deposition process on a surface. In this context, predicting of the final architecture of the growing materials is a fundamental problem worth studying.
Another factor, which plays an important role in industrial applications of new materials, is the question of post-growth stability of deposited structures. The understanding of the post-growth relaxation processes would give a possibility to estimate the lifetime of the deposited material depending on the conditions at which the material was fabricated. Controllable post-growth manipulations with the architecture of deposited structures opens new path for engineering of nanostructured materials.
The task of this thesis is to advance understanding mechanisms of formation and post-growth evolution of nanostructured materials fabricated by atomic clusters deposition on a surface. In order to achieve this goal the following main problems were addressed:
1. The properties of isolated clusters can significantly differ from those of analogous clusters occurring on a solid surface. The difference is caused by the interaction between the cluster and the solid. Therefore, the understanding of structural and dynamical properties of an atomic cluster on a surface is a topic of intense interest from the scientific and technological point of view. In the thesis, stability, energy, and geometry of an atomic cluster on a solid surface were studied using a liquid drop approach which takes into account the cluster-solid interaction. Geometries of the deposited clusters are compared with those of isolated clusters and the differences are discussed.
2. The formation scenarios of patterns on a surface in the course of the process of cluster deposition depend strongly on the dynamics of deposited clusters. Therefore, an important step towards predicting pattern morphology is to study dynamics of a single cluster on a surface. The process of cluster diffusion on a surface was modeled with the use of classical molecular dynamics technique, and the diffusion coefficients for the silver nanoclusters were obtained from the analysis of trajectories of the clusters. The dependence of the diffusion coefficient on the system’s temperature and cluster-surface interaction was established. The results of the calculations are compared with the available experimental results for the diffusion coefficient of silver clusters on graphite surface.
3. The methods of classical molecular dynamics cannot be used for modeling the self-assembly processes of atomic clusters on a surface, because these processes occur on the minutes timescale, what would require an unachievable computer resource for the simulation. Based on the results of molecular dynamics simulations for a single cluster on a surface a Monte-Carlo based approach has been developed to describe the dynamics of the self-assembly of nanoparticles on a surface. This method accounts for the free particle diffusion on a surface, aggregation into islands and detachment from these islands. The developed method is allowed to study pattern formation of structures up to thousands nm, as well as the stability of these structures. Developed method was implemented in MBN Explorer computer package.
4. The process of the pattern formation on a surface was modeled for several different scenarios. Based on the analysis of results of simulations was suggested a criterion, which can be used to distinguish between different patterns formed on a surface, for example: between fractals or compact islands.This criteria can be used to predict the final morphology of a growing structure.
5. The post-growth evolution of patterns on a surface was also analyzed. In particular, attention in the thesis is payed to a systematical theoretical analysis of the post-growth processes occurring in nanofractals on a surface. The time evolution of fractal morphology in the course of the post-growth relaxation was analyzed, the results of these calculations were compared with experimental data available for the post-growth relaxation of silver cluster fractals on graphite substrate.
All the aforementioned problems are discussed in details in the thesis.
This thesis deals with the simulation, optimization and realization of quasi-optical scanning systems for active THz cameras. Active THz cameras are sensitive in the THz regime of the electromagnetic spectrum and are suitable for the detection of metal objects such as weapons behind clothing or fabrics (maybe for security applications) or material investigation. An advantage of active THz-systems is the possibility to measure the phase of the THz-radiation and thus to reconstruct the surface topography of the objects under test. Due to the coherent illumination and the required system parameters (like image field size, working distance and lateral resolution) the optical systems (in the THz region often called quasi-optical systems) must be optimized. Specifically, the active illumination systems require highly optimized quasioptical systems to achieve a good image quality. Since currently no suitable multi-pixel detectors are available, the object has to be scanned in one or two dimensions in order to cover a full field of view. This further reinforces the occurring aberrations. The dissertation covers, alongside the underlying theory, the simulation, optimisation and realisation of three different active THz systems. The subdivision of the chapters is as follows: Chapter 1 deals with a motivation. Chapter 2 develops the underlying theory and it is demonstrated that the geometrical optics is an adequate and powerful description of the image field optimization. It also addresses the developed analytic on-axis and the off-axis image field optimization routine. Chapter 3, 4 and 5 are about the basis of various active THz cameras, each presented a major system aspect. Chapter 3 shows how active THz-cameras with very high system dynamics range can be realised. Within this chapter it could although be demonstrated how very high depth resolution can be achieved due to the coherent and active illumination and how high refresh rate can be implemented. Chapter 4 shows how absolute distance data of the objects under test can be obtained. Therefore it is possible to reconstruct the entire object topography up to a fraction of the wavelength. Chapter 5 shows how off-axis quasi-optical systems must be optimized. It is also shown how the illumination geometry of the active THz systems must be changed to allow for real-time frame rates. The developed widened multi-directional lighting approach also fixes the still existing problem of phase ambiguity of the single phase measurement. Within this chapter, the world’s first active real-time camera with very high frame rates around 10 Hz is presented. This could be only realized with the highly optimised quasioptical system and the multi-directional lighting approach. The paper concludes with a summary and an outlook for future work. Within the outlook some results regarding the simulation of synthetic aperture radar systems and metamaterials are shown.
Im Rahmen des Programms zur Intensitätserhöhung am Universal Linear Accelerator UNILAC für das Element Uran hat sich die Forderung nach einer Ionenquelle ergeben, die einen intensiven, hochbrillianten Ionenstrahl aus vierfach geladenen Uranionen bereitstellen kann. Ziel war es, im Zusammenspiel von Ionenquelle, Nachbeschleunigungssystem und Niederenergiestrahlführung einen Strahlstrom von mindestens 15 emA U4+ am Eingang des RFQ-Beschleunigers bereitzustellen. Die vorliegende Arbeit befaßt sich mit den Optimierungen und den experimentellen Untersuchungen an der Vakuumbogenionenquelle VARIS für den Uranbetrieb, welche schließlich ihre Leistungsfähigkeit an der Beschleunigeranlage der GSI erfolgreich unter Beweis gestellt hat. Der erste Teil dieser Arbeit widmet sich der Theorie der Vakuumbogenentladung unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der Erzeugung von U4+. Die Generierung von U4+ erfolgt dabei zu einem Teil im dichten Kathodenspotplasma, wo das Ionisationspotential von 31 auf 21 eV herabgesetzt ist, U4+ also bei vergleichsweise niedrigen Elektronenenergien erzeugt werden kann. Der U4+-Anteil beträgt jedoch nur 30 %. Die Erzeugung eines höheren Anteils an U4+ ist geknüpft an zusätzlich Ionisationsvorgänge im expandierenden Zwischenelektrodenplasma, für welches eine neuartige Theorie (MHD Ansatz) angegeben werden konnte. Für die Vakuumbogenentladung im axialen Magnetfeld konnte eine Erhöhung der Elektronentemperatur vorhersagt werden, die für eine höhere Ionisationsrate für U4+ verantwortlich ist. Für die Elektronentemperatur wurde bei einer magnetischen Flußdichte von 40 mT ein Wert von 10 eV vorhergesagt, welcher experimentell bestätigt werden konnte. Zieht man zudem die berechneten Wirkungsquerschnitte für die Ein- und Mehrfachionisation heran, so konnte aus den Wirkungsquerschnitten vorausgesagt werden, daß für die Produktion eines hohen Anteils an U4+ eine Elektronenenergie von zirka 50 eV für die Generierung von U4+ aus U3+ erforderlich ist. Im weiteren wurde ausgeführt, wie ein Extraktionssystem ausgelegt sein muß, welches den Forderungen nach einem Gesamtstrom von 140 mA entspricht oder diesen übertrifft. Das Erreichen dieses Stroms ist im Einlochextraktionssystem mit Schwierigkeiten verbunden (große Emissionsfläche, langes Extraktionssystem, Extraktionsspannung zirka 180 kV). Aus diesen Gründen ist die Entscheidung zugunsten eines Extraktionssystem mit 13 Öffnungen mit einem Durchmesser von jeweils 3 mm gefallen. Die Gesamtemissionsfläche aller Aperturen liegt bei 0,92 cm2. Zur Bestimmung der Strahlformierung einer Öffnung im Extraktionssystem ist das Strahlsimulationsprogramm KOBRA3INP unter Berücksichtigung einer experimentell gut zugänglichen Feldstärke von 11 kV/mm bei einem Aspektverhältnis von 0,5 genutzt worden. Es ergab sich ein minimaler Divergenzwinkel von etwa 55 mrad, die unnormierte effektive Emittanz geht mit steigender Stromdichte asymptotisch einem Wert von 65p mm mrad entgegen. Für das Extraktionssystem (13 Öffnungen) kann die unnormierte effektive Emittanz zu 610p mm mrad abgeschätzt werden. Die Stromdichte, welche der Plasmagenerator bereitstellen muß, beträgt etwa 1600 A/m2. Die Extraktionsspannung liegt bei 32 kV, welche, ebenso wie die Stromdichte, experimentell erreicht wurde. Bei den experimentellen Untersuchungen wurde zunächst untersucht, inwieweit die Impedanz des Vakuumbogenplasmas gesteigert werden kann. Ziel war es, eine möglichst hohe Plasmaimpedanz und damit eine hohe Bogenspannung zu erhalten, wodurch die erreichbare Elektronenenergie vergrößert wird (Regelung der Bogenspannung durch die Plasmaimpedanz). Es ist gezeigt worden, daß die Impedanz vor allem durch eine geeignete Magnetfeldkonfiguration erhöht werden kann (axiales Feld). Ebenso sind die Geometrie der Ionenquelle (Abstand Kathode-Anode 15 mm, Anodenöffnung 15 mm) und die verwendeten Materialien (Anode aus Edelstahl, kleiner Sputterkoeffizient und Sekundärelektronenaus97 löse) entscheidend, wobei zugunsten eines zuverlässigen Zündverhaltens der Ionenquelle die Entscheidung für eine Anodenöffnung von 15 mm statt 25 mm gefallen ist. So erreicht man für eine magnetische Flußdichte von 120 mT bei einem Bogenstrom von 700 A eine Bogenspannung von 54 V, wodurch die Erzeugung bis zu sechsfach geladenen Uranionen möglich wird. Um grundlegende Eigenschaften des Vakuumbogenplasmas zu bestimmen und das theoretische Modell zur Erzeugung von U4+ zu überprüfen, wurden die Ionen- und Elektronenenergieverteilung im Plasma gemessen ...
The HADES (High Acceptance DiElectron Spectrometer) is an experimental
apparatus installed at the heavy-ion synchrotron SIS-18 at GSI, Darmstadt.
The main physics motivation of the HADES experiment is the measurement
of e+e− pairs in the invariant-mass range up to 1 GeV/c2 in heavy-ion collisions
as well as in pion and proton-induced reactions.
The HADES physics program is focused on in-medium properties of the light
vector mesons ρ(770), ω(783) and φ(1020), which decay with a small branching
ratio into dileptons. Dileptons are penetrating probes which allow to study
the in-medium properties of hadrons. However, in heavy-ion collisions, the
measurement of such lepton pairs is difficult because they are rare and have a
very large combinatorial background.
Recently, HADES has been upgraded with new detectors and new electronics
in order to handle higher intensity beams and reactions with heavy nuclei up
to Au.
HADES will continue for a few more years its rich physics program at its
current place at SIS-18 and then move to the upcoming international Facility
for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) accelerator complex. In this context
the physics results presented in this work are important prerequisites for the investigation
of in-medium vector meson properties in p + A and A+A collisions.
This work consists of five chapters. The first chapter introduces the physics
motivation and a review of recent physics results. In the second chapter, the
HADES spectrometer is described and its sub-detectors are presented. Chapter
three deals with the issue of lepton identification and the reconstruction of
the dielectron spectra in p + p collisions is presented. Here, two reactions
are characterized: inclusive and exclusive dilepton production reactions. From
the spectra obtained, the corresponding cross sections are presented with the
respective statistical and systematical errors. A comparison with theoretical
models is included as well. Conclusions are given in chapter four.
The final part of this work is dedicated to the HADES upgrade, whose goal
is among others the achievement of a reliable and fast data acquisition of the
Multiwire Drift Chambers (MDCs). Chapter five presents my contribution to
this successful project during the three years of my stay at GSI.
In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird die Gestaltung eines Teststandes für die optische Tomographie eines Ionenstrahles untersucht. Nachdem Ionenstrahlen hoher Intensität immer mehr Leistung in den Diagnosegeräten deponieren, müssen neue nicht Strahlzerstörende Diagnosemethoden gefunden werden. Die Diagnose mittels strahlinduziertem Restgasleuchten ist dabei eine viel versprechende nicht zerstörende Methode. Neben der Definition der Anforderungen für einen solchen Teststand werden verschiedene Realisierungsmöglichkeiten untersucht. Mit einem Testaufbau wird das strahlinduzierte Leuchten in Abhängigkeit verschiedener Restgase und Restgasdrücke untersucht, sowie die Eigenschaften des optischen Systems und der Kamera analysiert. Weiterhin wird die Möglichkeit der Emittanzbestimung aus einer optischen Aufnahme mit vorhandenen Methoden untersucht.
Chapter 1 contains the general background of our work. We briefly discuss important aspects of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and introduce the concept of the chiral condensate as an order parameter for the chiral phase transition. Our focus is on the concept of universality and the arguments why the O(4) model should fall into the same universality class as the effective Lagrangian for the order parameter of (massless) two-flavor QCD. Chapter 2 pedagogically explains the CJT formalism and is concerned with the WKB method. In chapter 3 the CJT formalism is then applied to a simple Z(2) symmetric toy model featuring a one-minimum classical potential. As for all other models we are concerned with in this thesis, we study the behavior at nonzero temperature. This is done in 1+3 dimensions as well as in 1+0 dimensions. In the latter case we are able to compare the effective potential at its global minimum (which is minus the pressure) with our result from the WKB approximation. In chapter 4 this program is also carried out for the toy model with a double-well classical potential, which allows for spontaneous symmetry breaking and tunneling. Our major interest however is in the O(2) model with the fields treated as polar coordinates. This model can be regarded as the first step towards the O(4) model in four-dimensional polar coordinates. Although in principle independent, all subjects discussed in this thesis are directly related to questions arising from the investigation of this particular model. In chapter 5 we start from the generating functional in cartesian coordinates and carry out the transition to polar coordinates. Then we are concerned with the question under which circumstances it is allowed to use the same Feynman rules in polar coordinates as in cartesian coordinates. This question turns out to be non-trivial. On the basis of the common Feynman rules we apply the CJT formalism in chapter 6 to the polar O(2) model. The case of 1+0 dimensions was intended to be a toy model on the basis of which one could more easily explore the transition to polar coordinates. However, it turns out that we are faced with an additional complication in this case, the infrared divergence of thermal integrals. This problem requires special attention and motivates the explicit study of a massless field under topological constraints in chapter 8. In chapter 7 we investigate the cartesian O(2) model in 1+0 dimensions. We compare the effective potential at its global minimum calculated in the CJT formalism and via the WKB approximation. Appendix B reviews the derivation of standard thermal integrals in 1+0 and 1+3 dimensions and constitutes the basis for our CJT calculations and the discussion of infrared divergences. In chapter 9 we discuss the so-called path integral collapse and propose a solution of this problem. In chapter 10 we present our conclusions and an outlook. Since we were interested in organizing our work as pedagogical as possible within the narrow scope of a diploma thesis, we decided to make extensive use of appendices. Appendices A-H are intended for students who are not familiar with several important concepts we are concerned with. We will refer to them explicitly to establish the connection between our work and the general context in which it is settled.
The influence of visual tasks on short and long-term memory for visual features was investigated using a change-detection paradigm. Subjects completed 2 tasks: (a) describing objects in natural images, reporting a specific property of each object when a crosshair appeared above it, and (b) viewing a modified version of each scene, and detecting which of the previously described objects had changed. When tested over short delays (seconds), no task effects were found. Over longer delays (minutes) we found the describing task influenced what types of changes were detected in a variety of explicit and incidental memory experiments. Furthermore, we found surprisingly high performance in the incidental memory experiment, suggesting that simple tasks are sufficient to instill long-lasting visual memories. Keywords: visual working memory, natural scenes, natural tasks, change detection
The phenomenon of magnetism is a pure quantum effect and has been studied since the beginning of civilization. The practical use of magnetic materials for technical purposes was well established in the 19th century; still nowadays there is no lack of new high-tech applications based on magnetism for example in information technology to store and process data. This thesis does not focus on the development of new applications of magnetism in technology, nor enhancement of known fields of application. Instead, the intention is to use a quantum theory of magnetism for obtaining new insights on physical effects that accompany the phenomenon of magnetism. Therefore three different model systems, each of which are believed to describe a class of real compounds, are considered. Starting from the idea that magnetism can be understood by use of the so-called Heisenberg model that microscopically characterizes the interaction between localized magnetic moments, we restrict ourselves to the case where a long-range magnetic order is present. In order to deduce consequences resulting from this microscopic picture we use the spin-wave theory that is introduced in the first chapter. Central objects of this theory are the magnons which are elementary quantum excitations in ordered magnets. An application of these mathematical techniques to a model that describes an antiferromagnet in an external magnetic field is presented in the second chapter. Quantities like the spin-wave velocity and the damping of magnons are calculated using a Hermitian operator approach in the framework of spin-wave theory. A strong renormalization of the magnetic excitations arises because the symmetry of the system is reduced due to the external magnetic field. In the second model system, that describes thin films of a ferromagnet, concepts of classical physics meet quantum physics: The magnetic dipole-dipole interaction that is also known in everyday life from the magnetic forces between magnets and was initially formulated in the theory of electromagnetism, is included in the microscopic model. Having a special compound in mind where the magnetic excitations are directly accessible in experiments, the energy dispersions of magnon modes in thin-film ferromagnets are deduced. Our approach is essentially a basis for further investigations beyond this thesis to describe strong correlations and condensation of magnons. A recent realization of data processing devices with spin waves puts the understanding of physical processes in these ferromagnetic films in the focus of upcoming research. The third model system brings in the so-called frustration where the interactions between the spins are such that the total energy cannot be minimized by an appropriate alignment of the magnetic moments in the classical picture. In the simplest case this appears because the antiferromagnetically coupled spins are located on a triangular lattice. This situation will lead to strong quantum fluctuations which make this model system interesting. Finally the overall symmetry is reduced by inclusion of spin anisotropies and an external magnetic field. Instead of focusing on the properties of the magnetic excitations, the effect of the magnetic field on the properties of the lattice vibrations is subject to the investigation. This is interesting because the characteristics of lattice vibrations can be measured experimentally using the supersonic technique.
In this work we present a study of the influence of nucleus initializations on the event-by-event elliptic flow coefficient, v2. In most Monte-Carlo models, the initial positions of the nucleons in a nucleus are completely uncorrelated, which can lead to very high density regions. In a simple, yet more realistic model where overlapping of the nucleons is avoided, fluctuations in the initial conditions are reduced. However, v2 distributions are not very sensitive to the initialization choice.
Dynamics of chaotic strings
(2011)
The main topic of this thesis is the investigation of dynamical properties of coupled Tchebycheff map networks. At every node of the network the dynamics is given by the iteration of a Tchebycheff map, which shows strongest possible chaotic behaviour. By applying a coupling between the various individual dynamics along the links of the network, a rich structure of complex dynamical patterns emerges. Accordingly, coupled chaotic map networks provide prototypical models for studying the interplay between local dynamics, network structure, and the emergent global dynamics. An exciting application of coupled Tchebycheff map lattices in quantum field theory has been proposed Beck in Spatio-temporal chaos and vacuum fluctuations of quantized fields' (2002). In this so-called chaotic string model, the coupled map lattice dynamics generates the noise needed for the Parisi-Wu approach of stochastic quantization. The remarkable obversation is that the respective dynamics seems to reproduce distinguished numerical values of coupling constants that coincide with those observed in the standard model of particle physic. The results of this thesis give insights into the chaotic string model and its network generalization from a dynamical point of view. This leads to a deeper understanding of the dynamics, which is essential for a critical discussion of possible physical embeddings. Apart from this specific application to particle physics, the investigated concepts like synchronization or a most random behaviour of the dynamics are of general interest for dynamical system theory and the science of complex networks. As a first approach, discrete symmetry transformations of the model are studied. These transformations are formulated in a general way in order to be also applicable to similar dynamics on bipartite network structures. An observable of main interest in the chaotic string model is the interaction energy. In Spatio-temporal chaos and vacuum fluctuations of quantized fields' (2002) it has been observed that certain chaotic string couplings, corresponding to a vanishing interaction energy, coincide with coupling constants of the standard model of elementary particle physics. Since the interaction energy is basically a spatial correlation measure, an interpretation of the respective dynamical states in terms of a most random behaviour is tempting. In order to distinguish certain states as most random', or evoke another dynamical principle, a deeper understanding of the dynamics essential. In the present thesis the dynamics is studied numerically via Lyapunov measures, spatial correlations, and ergodic properties. It is shown that the zeros of the interaction energy are distinguished only with respect to this specific observable, but not by a more general dynamical principle. The original chaotic string model is defined on a one-dimensional lattice (ring-network) as the underlying network topology. This thesis studies a modification of the model based on the introduction of tunable disorder. The effects of inhomogeneous coupling weights as well as small-world perturbations of the ring-network structure on the interaction energy are discussed. Synchronization properties of the chaotic string model and its network generalization are studied in later chapters of this thesis. The analysis is based on the master stability formalism, which relates the stability of the synchronized state to the spectral properties of the network. Apart from complete synchronization, where the dynamics at all nodes of the network coincide, also two-cluster synchronization on bipartite networks is studied. For both types of synchronization it is shown that depending on the type of coupling the synchronized dynamics can display chaotic as well as periodic or quasi-periodic behaviour. The semi-analytical calculations reveal that the respective synchronized states are often stable for a wide range of coupling values even for the ring-network, although the respective basins of attraction may inhabit only a small fraction of the phase space. To provide analytical results in closed form, for complete synchronization the stability of all fixed points and period-2 orbits of all chaotic string networks are determined analytically. The master stability formalism allows to treat the ring-network of the chaotic string model as a special case, but the results are valid for coupled Tchebycheff maps on arbitrary networks. For two-cluster synchronization on bipartite networks, selected fixed points and period-2 orbits are analyzed.
