Kolmiulotteisen konenakojärjestelmän soveltuminen matkapuhelimen alikokoonpanojen testaukseen massatuotannossa

Tässä diplomityössä tutkitaan kolmiulotteisen konenak6järjestelmän soveltuvuutta matkapuhelimien alikokoonpanojen testaukseen massatuotannossa. Tavoitteena oli saada tietoa 3D järjestelmän käytettävyydestä suorituskyvyn ja kapasiteetin suhteen sekä selvittää järjestelmän joustavuutta testattavia tuotteita vaihdettaessa. Haluttiin myös selvittää, että ratkaiseeko 3D järjestelmä käytössä olevan 2D järjestelmän kanssa ilmenneitä ongelmia Järjestelmän suorituskykyä tutkittiin tekemällä testiajoja, joista saatuja tuloksia analysoitiin tilastollisella laadunvalvontaohjelmistolla. Varsinaisen kehitystyön teki konenäköjärjestelmiin erikoistunut alihankkija, jolla on kokemusta 3D testauksesta muilta teollisuuden aloilta. Matkapuhelimien alikokoonpanojen testauksessa laatukriteerit ja tarkkuusvaatimukset ovat kuitenkin liian kovia saavutettaviksi 3D lasertriangulaatioon perustuvaa testausjärjestelmää käytettäessä

O método das trajectórias clássicas: colisões coplanares do tipo A+BC

The general methodology of classical trajectories as applied to elementary chemical reactions of the A+BC type is presented. The goal is to elucidate students about the main theoretical features and potentialities in applying this versatile method to calculate the dynamical properties of reactive systems. Only the methodology for two-dimensional (2D) case is described, from which the general theory for 3D follows straightforwardly. The adopted point of view is, as much as possible, that of allowing a direct translation of the concepts into a working program. An application to the reaction O(¹D)+H2->O+OH with relevance in atmospheric chemistry is also presented. The FORTRAN codes used are available through the web page www.qqesc.qui.uc.pt.

Magnetic and transport properties of InGaAs quantum wells with Mn

In the present work structural, magnetic and transport properties of InGaAs quantum wells (QW) prepared by MBE with an remote Mn layer are investigated. By means of high-resolution X-ray diffractometry the structure of the samples is analyzed. It is shown that Mn ions penetrate into the QW. Influence of the thickness of GaAs spacer and annealing at 286 ºС on the properties of the system is shown. It is shown that annealing of the samples led to Mn activation and narrowing of the Mn layer. Substantial role of 2D holes in ferromagnetic ordering in Mn layer is shown. Evidence for that is observation of maximum at 25 – 55 K on the resistivity temperature dependence. Position of maximum, which is used for quantitative assessment of the Curie temperature, correlates with calculations of the Curie temperature for structures with indirect interaction via 2D holes’ channel. Dependence of the Curie temperature on the spacer thickness shows, that creation of applicable spintronic devices needs high-precision equipment to manufacture extra fine structures. The magnetotransport measurements show that charge carrier mobility is very low. This leads to deficiency of the anomalous Hall effect. At the same time, magnetic field dependences of the magnetization at different temperatures demonstrate that systems are ferromagnetically ordered. These facts, most probably, give evidence of presence of the ferromagnetic MnAs clusters.
