Reconstruction des mouvements du plasma dans une région active solaire à l'aide de données d'observation et d'une minimisation Lagrangienne

À ce jour, les différentes méthodes de reconstruction des mouvements du plasma à la surface du Soleil qui ont été proposées présupposent une MHD idéale (Welsch et al., 2007). Cependant, Chae & Sakurai (2008) ont montré l’existence d’une diffusivité magnétique turbulente à la photosphère. Nous introduisons une généralisation de la méthode du Minimum Energy Fit (MEF ; Longcope, 2004) pour les plasmas résistifs. Le Resistive Minimum Energy Fit (MEF-R ; Tremblay & Vincent, 2014) reconstruit les champs de vitesse du plasma et la diffusivité magnétique turbulente qui satisfont à l’équation d’induction magnétique résistive et qui minimisent une fonctionnelle analogue à l’énergie cinétique totale. Une séquence de magnétogrammes et de Dopplergrammes sur les régions actives AR 9077 et AR 12158 ayant chacune produit une éruption de classe X a été utilisée dans MEF-R pour reconstruire les mouvements du plasma à la surface du Soleil. Les séquences temporelles des vitesses et des diffusivités magnétiques turbulentes calculées par MEF-R sont comparées au flux en rayons X mous enregistré par le satellite GOES-15 avant, pendant et après l’éruption. Pour AR 12158, nous observons une corrélation entre les valeurs significatives de la diffusivité magnétique turbulente et de la vitesse microturbulente pour les champs magnétiques faibles.

Electro-Optical Properties of Metal Phthalocyanines and Naphthalocyanines

The thesis deals with the preparation of chemical, optical, thermal and electrical characterization of five compounds, namely metal free naphthalocyanine, vanadyl napthalocyanine, zinc naphlocyanine, europium dinaphthalocyanine, and europium diphthalocyanine in the pristine and iodine-doped forms. Two important technological properties of these compounds have been investigated. The electrical properties are important in applications sensors and semiconductor lasers. Opto-thermal properties assume significance for optical imaging and data recording. The electrical properties were investigated by dc and ac techniques. This work has revealed some novel information on the conduction mechanism in five macrocyclic compounds and their iodine-doped forms. Also useful data on the thermal diffusivity of the target compounds have been obtained by optical techniques.

Thermal characterization of methylene blue intercalated montmorillonites by photoacoustic technique

Thermal diffusivity (TD) measurement on commercial K-10 and KSF montmorillonites was carried out by photoacoustic technique. The TD of the montmorillonites after methylene blue adsorption changed with the dye concentration. The repeatedly adsorbed samples showed a lesser TD than the single adsorbed samples. After methylene blue adsorption the acid leached K-10 samples showed well defined changes in TD when compared to the ordered KSF samples.

Laser-induced thermal characterization of nano Ag metal dispersed ceramic alumina matrix

In this paper, we report the measurements of thermal diffusivity of nano Ag metal dispersed ceramic alumina matrix sintered at different temperatures using laser induced non-destructive photoacoustic technique. Measurements of thermal diffusivity also have been carried out on specimens with various concentration of nano metal. Analysis of the data is done on the basis of one-dimensional model of Rosencwaig and Gersho. The present measurements on the thermal diffusivity of nano metal dispersed ceramic alumina shows that porosity has a great influence on the heat transport and the thermal diffusivity value. The present analysis also shows that the inclusion of nano metal into ceramic matrix increases its interconnectivity and hence the thermal diffusivity value. The present study on the samples sintered at different temperature shows that the porosity of the ceramics varies considerably with the change in sintering temperature. The results are interpreted in terms of phonon assisted heat transfer mechanism and the exclusion of pores with the increase in sintering temperature.

Photoacoustic studies on thermal parameters of liquid crystal mixtures

Complete thermal characterization of liquid crystal mixtures in the smectic phase consisting of various relative volume fractions of cholesterol and 1-hexadecanol have been carried out using the photoacoustic technique. Thermal diffusivity values of these liquid crystal mixtures are evaluated using the open cell photoacoustic technique whereas the thermal effusivity value is measured using the conventional photoacoustic technique. From the measured values of these transient thermophysical parameters, the thermal conductivity and heat capacity of the sample under investigation are calculated. Analyses of the results show that all the thermophysical parameters depend strongly on the volume fraction of the constituents. Results are interpreted in terms of enhanced hydrogen bonding and the consequent enhancement in cohesive thermal energy transport with increasing volume fraction of 1-hexadecanol

Photothermal deflection measurement on heat transport in GaAs epitaxial layers

In this paper, we report the in-plane and cross-plane measurements of the thermal diffusivity of double epitaxial layers of n-type GaAs doped with various concentrations of Si and a p-type Be-doped GaAs layer grown on a GaAs substrate by the molecular beam epitaxial method, using the laser-induced nondestructive photothermal deflection technique. The thermal diffusivity value is evaluated from the slope of the graph of the phase of the photothermal deflection signal as a function of pump-probe offset. Analysis of the data shows that the cross-plane thermal diffusivity is less than that of the in-plane thermal diffusivity. It is also seen that the doping concentration has a great influence on the thermal diffusivity value. Measurement of p-type Be-doped samples shows that the nature of the dopant also influences the effective thermal diffusivity value. The results are interpreted in terms of a phonon-assisted heat transfer mechanism and the various scattering process involved in the propagation of phonons.

Thermal characterization of doped polyaniline and its composites with CoPc

Thermal diffusivity of the composites of camphor sulphonic acid (CSA) doped polyaniline (PANI) and its composites with cobalt phthalocyanine (CoPc) has been measured using open cell photoacoustic technique. Analysis of the data shows that the effective thermal diffusivity value can be tuned by varying the relative volume fraction of the constituents. It is seen that polaron assisted heat transfer mechanism is dominant in CSA doped PANI and these composites exhibit a thermal diffusivity value which is intermediate to that of CSA doped PANI and CoPc. The results obtained are correlated with the electrical conductivity and hardness measurements carried out on the samples
