Thermal properties in low dimensional structures below 1 K
2009
In this thesis thermal properties of low dimensional structures were experimentally studied at low temperatures with the help of tunnel junction thermometry and the Joule heating technique. The main objects of study were electron-phonon coupling in disordered thin metal films and phonon transport in suspended silicon nitride membranes. Our aim has been to clarify the effect of the phonon dimensionality, i.e. the effect of boundaries to the phonon modes and the transition from 3D to 2D phonons. The dimensionality cross over had not been observed before this work even though it is fabricationally a standard procedure to create the low dimensional environments for nanoscale applications and de…
Exploring the Role of Intramolecular Interactions in the Suppression of Quantum Tunneling of the Magnetization in a 3d-4f Single-Molecule Magnet.
2021
Hydroxide-bridged FeIII4LnIII2 clusters having the general formula [Fe4Ln2(μ3-OH)2(mdea)6(SCN)2(NO3)2(H2O)2]·4H2O·2MeCN {Ln = Y (1), Dy (2), mdea = N-methyldiethanolamine} were synthesized and magnetically characterized. The thermal relaxation of the magnetization for 2 and the diluted FeIII4DyIIIYIII complex 3 (with and without applied field) has been analyzed. The diluted sample shows a dominant QTM at low temperatures that can be removed with a 0.15 T dc field. Both 2 and 3 show moderately high Ueff barriers and exhibit hysteresis loops until 5 K.
Thermal increase in the oral mucosa and in the jawbone during Nd:YAG laser applications. Ex vivo study
2012
Objective: Literature reports bactericidal and biostimulant effects for Nd:YAG laser procedures on bone and oral mucosa but the possible overheating can cause damage to anatomical structures. The aim of the study is the evaluation of thermal increase in different levels of oral tissues: mucosa, periosteum and bone during defocused application of Nd:YAG laser at different parameters. Study Design: Superficial thermal evaluation was performed in pig jaws with a thermal camera device; deep thermal evaluation was realized by 4 thermocouples placed at a subperiosteal level and at 1,2 and 4 mm depth in the jaw bone. Laser applications of 1 minute were performed 5 times (with a pause of 1 minute) …
