The exponential growth of studies on the biological response to ocean acidification over the last few decades has generated a large amount of data. To facilitate data comparison, a data compilation hosted at the data publisher PANGAEA was initiated in 2008 and is updated on a regular basis (doi:10.1594/PANGAEA.149999). By January 2015, a total of 581 data sets (over 4 000 000 data points) from 539 papers had been archived. Here we present the developments of this data compilation five years since its first description by Nisumaa et al. (2010). Most of study sites from which data archived are still in the Northern Hemisphere and the number of archived data from studies from the Southern Hemisphere and polar oceans are still relatively low. Data from 60 studies that investigated the response of a mix of organisms or natural communities were all added after 2010, indicating a welcomed shift from the study of individual organisms to communities and ecosystems. The initial imbalance of considerably more data archived on calcification and primary production than on other processes has improved. There is also a clear tendency towards more data archived from multifactorial studies after 2010. For easier and more effective access to ocean acidification data, the ocean acidification community is strongly encouraged to contribute to the data archiving effort, and help develop standard vocabularies describing the variables and define best practices for archiving ocean acidification data.

electrostatic torsional nano-electro-mechanical systems (NEMS) actuators is analyzed in the paper. The dependence of the critical tilting angle and voltage is investigated on the sizes of structure with the consideration of vdW effects. The pull-in phenomenon without the electrostatic torque is studied, and a critical pull-in gap is derived. A dimensionless equation of motion is presented, and the qualitative analysis of it shows that the equilibrium points of the corresponding autonomous system include center points, stable focus points, and unstable saddle points. The Hopf bifurcation points and fork bifurcation points also exist in the system. The phase portraits connecting these equilibrium points exhibit periodic orbits, heteroclinic orbits, as well as homoclinic orbits.

Copper dimethylamino-2-propoxide [Cu(dmap)2] is used as a precursor for low-temperature atomic layer deposition (ALD) of copper thin films. Chemisorption of the precursor is the necessary first step of ALD, but it is not known in this case whether there is selectivity for adsorption sites, defects, or islands on the substrate. Therefore, we study the adsorption of the Cu(dmap)2 molecule on the different sites on flat and rough Cu surfaces using PBE, PBE-D3, optB88-vdW, and vdW-DF2 methods. We found the relative order of adsorption energies for Cu(dmap)2 on Cu surfaces is Eads (PBE-D3) > Eads (optB88-vdW) > Eads (vdW-DF2) > Eads (PBE). The PBE and vdW-DF2 methods predict one chemisorption structure, while optB88-vdW predicts three chemisorption structures for Cu(dmap)2 adsorption among four possible adsorption configurations, whereas PBE-D3 predicts a chemisorbed structure for all the adsorption sites on Cu(111). All the methods with and without van der Waals corrections yield a chemisorbed molecule on the Cu(332) step and Cu(643) kink because of less steric hindrance on the vicinal surfaces. Strong distortion of the molecule and significant elongation of Cu–N bonds are predicted in the chemisorbed structures, indicating that the ligand–Cu bonds break during the ALD of Cu from Cu(dmap)2. The molecule loses its initial square-planar structure and gains linear O–Cu–O bonding as these atoms attach to the surface. As a result, the ligands become unstable and the precursor becomes more reactive to the coreagent. Charge redistribution mainly occurs between the adsorbate O–Cu–O bond and the surface. Bader charge analysis shows that electrons are donated from the surface to the molecule in the chemisorbed structures, so that the Cu center in the molecule is partially reduced.

Cette thèse traite de la structure électronique de supraconducteurs telle que déterminée par la théorie de la fonctionnelle de la densité. Une brève explication de cette théorie est faite dans l’introduction. Le modèle de Hubbard est présenté pour pallier à des problèmes de cette théorie face à certains matériaux, dont les cuprates. L’union de deux théories donne la DFT+U, une méthode permettant de bien représenter certains systèmes ayant des électrons fortement corrélés. Par la suite, un article traitant du couplage électron- phonon dans le supraconducteur NbC1−xNx est présenté. Les résultats illustrent bien le rôle de la surface de Fermi dans le mécanisme d’appariement électronique menant à la supraconductivité. Grâce à ces résultats, un modèle est développé qui permet d’expliquer comment la température de transition critique est influencée par le changement des fré- quences de vibration du cristal. Ensuite, des résultats de calcul d’oscillations quantiques obtenus par une analyse approfondie de surfaces de Fermi, permettant une comparaison directe avec des données expérimentales, sont présentés dans deux articles. Le premier traite d’un matériau dans la famille des pnictures de fer, le LaFe2P2. L’absence de su- praconductivité dans ce matériau s’explique par la différence entre sa surface de Fermi obtenue et celle du supraconducteur BaFe2As2. Le second article traite du matériau à fermions lourds, le YbCoIn5. Pour ce faire, une nouvelle méthode efficace de calcul des fréquences de Haas-van Alphen est développée. Finalement, un dernier article traitant du cuprate supraconducteur à haute température critique YBa2Cu3O6.5 est présenté. À l’aide de la DFT+U, le rôle de plusieurs ordres magnétiques sur la surface de Fermi est étudié. Ces résultats permettent de mieux comprendre les mesures d’oscillations quan- tiques mesurées dans ce matériau.
