Efeito Peltier em estruturas semicondutoras quasiperiódicas

There is nowadays a growing demand for located cooling and stabilization in optical and electronic devices, haul of portable systems of cooling that they allow a larger independence in several activities. The modules of thermoelectrical cooling are bombs of heat that use efect Peltier, that consists of the production of a temperature gradient when an electric current is applied to a thermoelectrical pair formed by two diferent drivers. That efect is part of a class of thermoelectrical efcts that it is typical of junctions among electric drivers. The modules are manufactured with semiconductors. The used is the bismuth telluride Bi2Te3, arranged in a periodic sequence. In this sense the idea appeared of doing an analysis of a system that obeys the sequence of Fibonacci. The sequence of Fibonacci has connections with the golden proportion, could be found in the reproductive study of the bees, in the behavior of the light and of the atoms, as well as in the growth of plants and in the study of galaxies, among many other applications. An apparatus unidimensional was set up with the objective of investigating the thermal behavior of a module that obeys it a rule of growth of the type Fibonacci. The results demonstrate that the modules that possess periodic arrangement are more eficient

Filmes nanométricos de FeN e ALN crescidos por sputtering e aplicações do efeito peltier

This study will show the capability of the reactive/nonreactive sputtering (dc/rf) technique at low power for the growth of nanometric thin films from magnetic materials (FeN) and widegap semiconductors (AlN), as well as the technological application of the Peltier effect using commercial modules of bismuth telluride (Bi2Te3). Of great technological interest to the high-density magnetic recording industry, the FeN system represents one of the most important magnetic achievements; however, diversity of the phases formed makes it difficult to control its magnetic properties during production of devices. We investigated the variation in these properties using ferromagnetic resonance, MOKE and atomic force microscopy (AFM), as a function of nitrogen concentration in the reactive gas mixture. Aluminum nitride, a component of widegap semiconductors and of considerable interest to the electronic and optoelectronic industry, was grown on nanometric thin film for the first time, with good structural quality by non-reactive rf sputtering of a pure AlN target at low power (≈ 50W). Another finding in this study is that a long deposition time for this material may lead to film contamination by materials adsorbed into deposition chamber walls. Energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis shows that the presence of magnetic contaminants from previous depositions results in grown AlN semiconductor films exhibiting magnetoresistance with high resistivity. The Peltier effect applied to commercially available compact refrigeration cells, which are efficient for cooling small volumes, was used to manufacture a technologically innovative refrigerated mini wine cooler, for which a patent was duly registered

Efeito Kerr magneto-óptico; Ressonância ferromagnética; Acoplamento bilinear; Acoplamento biquadrático

In this work, we investigated the magnetic properties of a monocrystalline Fe thin film and of Fe(80 Å)/Cr(t)/Fe(80 Å) tri-layers, with the nonmagnetic metallic Cr spacer layer thickness varying between 9 Å < t < 40 Å. The samples were deposited by the DC Sputtering on Magnesium Oxide (MgO) substrates, with (100) crystal orientation. For this investigation, experimental magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE) magnetometry and ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) techniques were employeed. In this case, these techniques allowed us to study the static and dynamical magnetization properties of our tri-layers. The experimental results were interpreted based on the phenomenological model that takes into account the relevant energy terms to the magnetic free energy to describe the system behavior. In the case of the monocrystalline Fe film, we performed an analytical discussion on the magnetization curves and developed a numerical simulation based on the Stoner-Wohlfarth model, that enables the numerical adjustment of the experimental magnetization curves and obtainment of the anisotropy field values. On the other hand, for the tri-layers, we analyzed the existence of bilinear and biquadratic couplings between the magnetizations of adjacent ferromagnetic layers from measurements of magnetization curves. With the FMR fields and line width angular dependencies, information on the anisotropy in three layers was obtained and the effects of different magnetic relaxation mechanisms were evidenced. It was also possible to observe the dependence of the epitaxy of the multilayers with growth and sputtering parameters. Additionally it was developed the technique of AC magnetic susceptibility in order to obtain further information during the investigation of magnetic thin films

Efeito do campo elétrico em nanocones formados por aln e BN: um estudo por primeiros princípios

The development of computers and algorithms capable of making increasingly accurate and rapid calculations as well as the theoretic foundation provided by quantum mechanics has turned computer simulation into a valuable research tool. The importance of such a tool is due to its success in describing the physical and chemical properties of materials. One way of modifying the electronic properties of a given material is by applying an electric field. These effects are interesting in nanocones because their stability and geometric structure make them promising candidates for electron emission devices. In our study we calculated the first principles based on the density functional theory as implemented in the SIESTA code. We investigated aluminum nitride (AlN), boron nitride (BN) and carbon (C), subjected to external parallel electric field, perpendicular to their main axis. We discuss stability in terms of formation energy, using the chemical potential approach. We also analyze the electronic properties of these nanocones and show that in some cases the perpendicular electric field provokes a greater gap reduction when compared to the parallel field

Comunicações tácticas e de emergência por propagação por efeito NVIS

O presente trabalho tem como objectivo projectar e construir uma antena que opere em onda curta, HF, e que explore a propagação na ionosfera por efeito NVIS, de modo a permitir o estabelecimento de comunicações de curta distância em situações tácticas e de emergência. Este projecto pode ter bastante interesse para o Exército Português, em teatros de operações em que o terreno seja bastante acidentado, como por exemplo o Afeganistão ou o Kosovo. A antena projectada e construída é composta por dois dipolos cruzados, com uma tipologia em v invertido, por forma a ser efectuada uma ligação de curta distância, com ângulos de elevação que podem atingir cerca de 88º a 89º para distâncias da ordem da dezena de quilómetros. Foi efectuado o dimensionamento teórico, a simulação do diagrama de radiação e posteriormente procedeu-se à construção e ensaio da antena, com resultados bastante satisfatórios.
