Asymmetrical resonant cavity thin film devices designed for vanadium dioxide applications

Abstract

In this paper, Vanadium dioxide (VO2) thin-film devices with two different use cases have been redesigned to introduce an asymmetrical resonant cavity structure. The structure is designed with the goal of enhancing the optical performance of the central VO2 layer and has an anti-reflection property in the cold state. The advantages and limitations of such a design are discussed.

Objective

ปัจจุบันมีงานวิจัยเพื่อออกแบบอุปกรณ์ฟิล์มบางทางแสงเป็นจำนวนมาก เราสามารถใช้คุณสมบัติของวัสดุเปลี่ยนเฟส (PCMs) เพื่อออกแบบอุปกรณ์ที่ทำงานได้สองโหมด อีกทั้งยังมีการออกแบบฟิล์มบางให้มีโครงสร้างเป็นช่องสั่นพ้องเพื่อเพิ่มประสิทธิภาพและปรับย่านการทำงานให้เหมาะสม แต่วิธีการออกแบบช่องสั่นพ้องปกติไม่สามารถใช้ได้กับวัสดุเปลี่ยนเฟส งานวิจัยนี้จะเป็นการเปรียบเทียบวิธีการออกแบบช่องสั่นพ้องที่ไม่สมมาตรเพื่อแก้ปัญหาข้างต้น โดยจะเทียบกับวิธีปกติของอุปกรณ์ฟิล์มบางในงานวิจัยที่มีอยู่ โดยแสดงถึงข้อดีและข้อจำกัดของวิธีการออกแบบใหม่นี้

Improving surface water quality via coagulation using Moringa, Roselle, and Tamarind seed extract.

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of extracts from moringa seeds, roselle seeds, and tamarind seeds as coagulants to improve water quality in surface water sources. Extracts from these seeds serve as environmentally friendly coagulants and provide alternative options for enhancing surface water quality. The turbidity of surface water sources ranged between 14 and 24 NTU. The coagulation process used the Jar Test method, where the moringa seed, roselle seed, and tamarind seed extracts functioned as both primary coagulants and coagulant aids. In the preparation process, the seeds were finely ground and extracted using a 0.5-M sodium chloride (NaCl) solution. These extracts were then applied as coagulants to reduce turbidity and enhance water quality, with each concentration tested in 300 ml of water. The results indicated that the most effective way to remove turbidity using 2,000 mg/L of moringa seed extract, achieving a turbidity reduction of approximately 73.19% at a cost of 0.0309 baht per 300 ml of water. Followed by Tamarind seed extract, with a concentration of 4,000 mg/L, followed with a turbidity reduction of approximately 56.75% at a cost of 0.0933 baht per 300 ml. Lastly, roselle seed extract at 6,000 mg/L achieved a turbidity reduction of approximately 32.67% at a cost of 0.0567 baht per 300 ml of water.

il n'y a rien à faire

This artwork was created based on the universal concepts of global warming and post-apocalyptic world, which has caused disturbances and chaos in ecosystems, leading to the extinction of many living beings on Earth due to human actions. Repairing and restoring this world may therefore be a false hope, connected to my personal experience of losing loved ones and the sorrow from setting high hope, through the artistic process using Animation Art and Sound Art.
