1. Fundamentals and applications of microplasma sources : Actuating, Sensing, and Nonlinearly Approximating
Sammanfattning : The research presented in this thesis covers a wide range of applications for, and integrations of, a stripline split-ring resonator (SSRR) microplasma source. Common throughout the presented works is the always present, but sometimes secondary, focus on analyzing the light and matter that is emitted as gas is flowed through theplasma of the SSRR. LÄS MER
2. Laser-assisted CVD Fabrication and Characterization of Carbon and Tungsten Microhelices for Microthrusters
Sammanfattning : Laser-induced chemical vapor deposition (LCVD) is a process enabling the deposition of solid material from a gas phase in the form of free-standing microstructures with high aspect ratios. The deposition rate, wire diameter, and material properties are sensitive to changes in temperature and gas pressure. LÄS MER
3. High-Temperature Microfluidics for Space Propulsion
Sammanfattning : In this thesis, microfabrication methods and tools for analysis of heated cold-gas microthrusters are presented, with the aim of improving their reliability and performance. Cold-gas thrusters operate by accelerating pressurized gas through a nozzle. LÄS MER
4. Development of Microcomponents for Attitude and Communication Systems on Small Vehicles in Space and Extreme Environments
Sammanfattning : In this thesis, components intended for vehicles in space and other extreme environments have been realized using microsystems technology to facilitate miniaturized, yet high-performing systems beneficial for small spacecraft and other vehicles with limited size and power.Cold gas thrusters commonly used on spacecraft basically accelerate a gaseous propellant stored under high pressure.
