Investigation of nano-copper for electronic packaging application : solder metallization and die attach by Luo, Kaiming

“…Even though NC can directly bond with Cu surface without forming IMCs, for the purpose of its potential as a joining material used in the future, it is essential to understand its adhesion conditions with different metallizations. …”

Bis(imino)phenyl group 13 - 14 complexes by Seow, Celestine Su Yi

“…The reaction of 2.1 with lithium proceeded through a new reaction pathway, involving the reduction of the germanium(II) centers in 2.2, concomitant with the homolytic cleavage of the C–C bond to afford 2.3. Chapter 3 describes the reactivity of [LtBuGeCl] (3.1, LtBu = C6H3-2,6-(HC=NtBu)2) towards group 11 metals. …”

Ag3XO4 (X = P, As, V)电子结构及光催化性质的第一性原理计算 = First-principles study on the electronic and photocatalytic properties of Ag3XO4 (X = P, As, V) by 李蛟 Li Jiao, 陈忠 Chen Zhong

“…In comparison to Ag3PO4, Ag3VO4 shows better photocatalytic stability, mainly due to the enhanced Ag―O bonds and improved Ag ion stability, but poorer photocatalytic activity in the visible light region mainly due to the presence of d orbital character at the conduction band minimum (CBM) and lower valence band maximum (VBM) potentials (2.335 V, vs NHE). …”

Properties and mechanism of strain and piezoelectricity of hybrid molecular ferroelectrics by Hu, Yuzhong

“…The crystallography results indicate that this softening effect should originate from strength weakening on hydrogen and Cd-halide (Cd-X) bonds. In Chapter 4, the design strategy and discovery of the colossal shear strain in this OIHF will be presented. …”

Catalytic conversion of carbon dioxide to hydrocarbons by Mohan, Ojus

“…However, for rPBE-vdW functional, we found that this is due to the erroneous treatment of C=O double bonds in gas phase CO2. Employing the benchmarked functional, CO2 methanation (46 elementary reactions) and DRM (38 elementary reactions) reactions were studied by combined DFT and MKM. …”

Security for automotive electrical/electronic (E/E) architectures by Mundhenk, Philipp

“…The policy-based scheduling for FlexRay presented in this thesis enables a higher flexibility for messages on the bus by abstracting the bond between timetriggered slots and messages. Messages are flexibly arranged in a virtual communication layer, before being divided into slots. …”

Part I : Peptide functionalized materials for gram-negative bacteria targeted PDT and LPS sensing. Part II : Small peptide and membrane lipid based self-assembled nanostructures fo... by Liu, Fang

“…In our research, the most commonly used model drug doxorubicin (Dox) was conjugated to an Fmoc group protected short peptide through an acid-labile hydrazone-bond to form a peptide-Dox prodrug. Cellular imaging studies displayed that the peptide nanogels could self-deliver drugs into cells through endocytosis and therefore provided effective antitumor activities toward resistant tumor cells. …”

Health monitoring, lifetimes estimation, and thermal management of IGBT-based power converters by Mohamed Halick Mohamed Sathik

“…Ageing of IGBT modules and its effect on on-state resistance is investigated using accelerated power cycling in order to trigger solder die-attach degradation and bond wire lift-off damage. Experimental investigation verifies that the increase in on-state resistance is a reflection of device degradation. …”

Understanding lived experiences of bereaved parents of children with chronic life-threatening Illness : towards a culture-specific and meaning-oriented narrative E-writing interven... by Dutta, Oindrila

“…The model further describes the deliberate behaviors or ‘rituals’ that helped participants to regain power over their lives, sustain an intimate bond with their child beyond death, and transcend their loss by deriving positive outcomes from their experience. …”
