development and implementation of an optimized control strategy for induction machine in an electric vehicle

in the area of automotive engineering there is a tendency to more electrification of power train. in this work control of an induction machine for the application of electric vehicle is investigated. through the changing operating point of the machine, adapting the rotor magnetization current seems to be useful to increase the machines efficiency. in the literature there are many approaches wh...

Charge transfer and surface scattering at Cu-C60 planar interfaces.

Thin-film planar structures of Cu and C60 have been sequentially deposited onto sapphire substrates in high vacuum and studied using in situ resistivity measurements during deposition together with ex situ atomic force microscopy characterization of surface topography. Two different regimes of behavior are identified. In the first of these, the thin-film limit in which the Cu is thin enough to ...

Electronic charge and orbital reconstruction at cuprate-titanate interfaces

In complex transition metal oxide heterostructures of physically dissimilar perovskite compounds, interface phenomena can lead to novel physical properties not observed in either of their constituents. This remarkable feature opens new prospects for technological applications in oxide electronic devices based on nmthin oxide films. Here we report on a significant electronic charge and orbital r...

Charge carrier traffic at interfaces in nanoelectronic structures

This thesis describes investigations in relation to the search for materials with high dielectric constant, k, for future CMOS transistors. The most elementary quantities to be considered are k-value and energy band offsets between the dielectric and the silicon crystal on which it is deposited. Empirical relations for these two quantities are presented demonstrating that only a few dielectrics...
