  • Design and Discovery of New Piezoelectric Materials Using Density Functional Theory
    DESIGN AND DISCOVERY OF NEW PIEZOELECTRIC MATERIALS USING DENSITY FUNCTIONAL THEORY by Sukriti Manna © Copyright by Sukriti Manna, 2018 All Rights Reserved A thesis submitted to the Faculty and the Board of Trustees of the Colorado School of Mines in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Mechanical Engineering). Golden, Colorado Date Signed: Sukriti Manna Signed: Dr. Cristian V. Ciobanu Thesis Advisor Signed: Dr. Vladan Stevanovi´c Thesis Advisor Golden, Colorado Date Signed: Dr. John Berger Professor and Head Department of Mechanical Engineering ii ABSTRACT Piezoelectric materials find applications in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), such as surface acoustic wave (SAW) resonators, radio frequency (RF) filters, resonators, and energy harvesters. Using density functional theory calculations, the present study illus- trates the influence of alloying and co-alloying with different nitrides on piezoelectric and mechanical properties of an existing piezoelectric material such as aluminum nitride (AlN). Besides improving the performance of existing piezoelectric material, a high-throughput screening method is used to discover new piezoelectric materials. AlN has several beneficial properties such as high temperature stability, low dielectric permittivity, high hardness, large stiffness constant, high sound velocity, and complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) compatibility. This makes it widely accepted material in RF and resonant devices. However, it remains a challenge to enhance the piezoelectric modulus of AlN. The first part of this thesis establishes that the piezoelectric modulus of AlN could be improved by alloying with rocksalt transition metal nitrides such as scandium nitride (ScN), yttrium nitride (YN), and chromium nitride (CrN). As the content of the rocksalt end member in the alloy increases, the accompanying structural frustration enables a greater piezoelectric response.

EIN 81−4041725 Name United States Bankruptcy Court Middle District of Louisiana Date case filed for chapter 11 5/10/19 Case number: 19−10547 Official Form 309F (For Corporations or Partnerships) Notice of Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Case 12/17 For the debtor listed above, a case has been filed under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. An order for relief has been entered. This notice has important information about the case for creditors, debtors, and trustees, including information about the meeting of creditors and deadlines. Read both pages carefully. The filing of the case imposed an automatic stay against most collection activities. This means that creditors generally may not take action to collect debts from the debtor or the debtor's property. For example, while the stay is in effect, creditors cannot sue, assert a deficiency, repossess property, or otherwise try to collect from the debtor. Creditors cannot demand repayment from the debtor by mail, phone, or otherwise. Creditors who violate the stay can be required to pay actual and punitive damages and attorney's fees. Confirmation of a chapter 11 plan may result in a discharge of debt. A creditor who wants to have a particular debt excepted from discharge may be required to file a complaint in the bankruptcy clerk's office within the deadline specified in this notice. (See line 11 below for more information.) To protect your rights, consult an attorney.

  • Session 1 Sources and Availability of Materials for Lithium Batteries
    Session 1: Sources and Availability of Materials for Lithium Batteries Session 1 Sources and Availability of Materials for Lithium Batteries Adrian Griffin Managing Director, Lithium Australia NL ABSTRACT Lithium, as a feedstock for the battery industry, originates from two primary sources: hard-rock (generally spodumene and petalite), and brines. Brine processing results in the direct production of lithium chemicals, whereas the output from hard-rock production is tradeable mineral concentrates that require downstream processing prior to delivery, as refined chemicals, into the battery market. The processors of the concentrates, the 'converters', are the major constraint in a supply chain blessed with abundant mineral feed. The battery industry must overcome the constraints imposed by the converters, and this can be achieved through the application of the Sileach™ process, which produces lithium chemicals from concentrates direct, without the need for roasting. The cathode chemistries of the most efficient lithium batteries have a common thread – a high dependence on cobalt. Battery manufacturers consume around 40% of the current production of cobalt, a by-product of the nickel and copper industries. This means cobalt is at a tipping point – production will not keep up with demand. In the short term, the solution lies in developing alternative cathode compositions, while in the longer term recycling may be the answer. Lithium Australia NL is researching the application of its Sileach™ process to waste batteries to achieve a high-grade, low-cost source of battery materials and, in so doing, ease the supply constraints on cathode metals. To ensure that the battery industry is sustainable, better utilisation of mineral resources, more efficient processing technology, an active battery reprocessing capacity and less reliance on cobalt as a cathode material are all necessary.

Mention of trade names or commercial products does not constitute endorsement or recommendation for use. iii Foreword The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) is charged by Congress with protecting the Nation's land, air, and water resources. Under a mandate of national environmental laws, the Agency strives to formulate and implement actions leading to a compatible balance between human activities and the ability of natural systems to support and nurture life. To meet this mandate, U.S. EPA's research program is providing data and technical support for solving environmental problems today and building a science knowledge base necessary to manage our ecological resources wisely, understand how pollutants affect our health, and prevent or reduce environmental risks in the future.
