▼ Diagrammatic many-body methods for computing the energies and other properties of anharmonic vibrations have been developed
based on the Dyson equation formalism for the single-particle
vibrational Green's function and the many-body perturbation theory
for the total zero-point energy. Unlike similar methods based on the
vibrational self-consistent field (VSCF) approximation,
these XVSCF and XVMP2 methods are guaranteed to be size-consistent at the formalism level, meaning that they are applicable not only to small molecules
but also to larger systems including condensed phases.
The XVSCF method, initially developed by Keçeli and Hirata, is extended to calculate anharmonic corrections to geometries as well as
vibrational frequencies
and energies, and rendered identical to the VSCF method in the thermodynamic limit despite orders of magnitude lower computational cost. When XVSCF is formulated
in terms of the Dyson equation, it is additionally revealed to be an approximation to the self-consistent phonon (SCP) method which is commonly used in solid-state physics.
Furthermore, the development of XVSCF in terms of Green's functions enables the formulation of the concept of Dyson coordinates and Dyson geometries, conceived as anharmonic
generalizations of the normal coordinates and equilibrium geometries of the harmonic approximation, which represent a formally exact effectively harmonic treatment of
molecular and crystal vibrations, similar to the concept of Dyson orbitals from the field of electronic
structure theory.
Many-body perturbation theory based on XVSCF is referred to as XVMP2 and is showed to be both more efficient and more powerful than standard VMP2 methods. XVMP2
inherits the computational efficiency and manifest size-consistency of XVSCF, and additionally, through the Dyson-equation formalism, it is able to directly compute
vibrational fundamental, overtone, and combination frequencies directly even in the presence of anharmonic resonance. This makes
XVMP2 a rare example of a perturbative method which can defeat strong correlation.
The XVSCF and XVMP2 methods are formulated in both deterministic algorithms which rely on the computation of a large number of anharmonic force constants, and stochastic algorithms which require
no stored representation of the PES. This is a significant advance because the computation and storage of the PES is a significant bottleneck in terms of accuracy and computational cost.
The Monte Carlo XVSCF and Monte Carlo XVMP2 methods, as they are called, are uncommon among stochastic methods
in that they can compute anharmonic frequencies directly, without noisy, small differences between large total
vibrational energies and without sign problems that plague
other forms of quantum Monte Carlo such as DMC.

▼ Anharmonic
vibrational many-body methods are developed for and applied to small molecules and extended systems in a bound potential energy surface (PES).
Diagrammatically size-consistent and basis-set-free
vibrational coupled-cluster (XVCC) theory for both zero-point energies and transition frequencies, the latter through the equation-of-motion (EOM) formalism, is defined for an nth-order Taylor-series PES. Quantum-field-theoretical tools (the rules of normal-ordered second quantization and Feynman – Goldstone diagrams) for deriving their working equations are established. The equations of XVCC and EOM-XVCC are derived and implemented with the aid of computer algebra. Algorithm optimizations known as strength reduction, intermediate reuse, and factorization are carried out before code generation,producing algorithms with optimal cost scaling.
A similarity-transformed equation-of-motion
vibrational coupled-cluster (STEOM-XVCC) method is introduced as a one-mode theory with an effective
vibrational Hamiltonian, which is similarity transformed twice so that its lower-order operators are dressed with higher-order anharmonic effects.
From diagonalization of this doubly similarity-transformed Hamiltonian in the small one-mode excitation space, the method simultaneously computes accurate anharmonic
vibrational frequencies of all fundamentals, which have unique significance in
vibrational analyses. We establish a diagrammatic method of deriving the working equations of STEOM-XVCC and prove their connectedness and thus size-consistency as well as the exact equality of its frequencies with the corresponding roots of EOM-XVCC.
An extended STEOM-XVCC (Ext-STEOM-XVCC) method is defined as an mth order configuration interaction method with the doubly similarity-transformed Hamiltonian including up to mth-order excitation operators. Because the doubly transformed Hamiltonian is dressed with higher-order anharmonic effects, the frequencies of overtones and combinations obtained are different and superior to the corresponding EOM-XVCC method. We compare and contrast the Ext-STEOM-XVCC method to its electronic counterpart.
We apply the previously established second-order size-extensive
vibrational many-body perturbation (XVMP2) method to the anharmonic phonon dispersion curves of a model two-mass system and the optical phonons of polyethylene. We obtain accurate results despite the presence of multiple Fermi-resonances in the crystalline systems.

▼ Biomolecular decorated surfaces have shown great potential in many applications ranging from antimicrobial coatings to biosensing and biofuels due to their excellent properties. The performance of such biomolecular functionalized surfaces is largely dependent on the molecular
structure of surface immobilized biomolecules, the surfaces used for attachment, and the surrounding environment biomolecules are functioning in. Moreover, maintaining the functions of such biomolecular surfaces in the absence of bulk water is challenging but important for extending the applications of such surfaces to non-aqueous environment. In order to have an in-depth understanding of how such biomolecule immobilized surfaces should be designed with optimized functions, molecular level characterization needs to be done to reveal the structures of interfacial biomolecules. Here my thesis research mainly focuses on the investigations of structures (conformations and orientations) of immobilized peptides and proteins at the molecular level using sum frequency generation
vibrational spectroscopy (SFG), supplemented by circular dichroism (CD) and attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR). The relations of structures and functions of the biomolecular surfaces are elucidated.
I first studied the effect of the immobilization site (e.g., N- or C-terminus) on the
structure and activity of surface immobilized antimicrobial peptide (AMP) MSI-78 using a combination of SFG, CD, coarse grained MD simulation, and antibacterial testing. This peptide exhibits similar secondary
structure but different orientations when immobilized with different termini, leading to varied antibacterial activity. In order to determine whether a peptide could be engineered to assume a different orientation (standing up instead of lying down), a combined coarse grained MD simulation/SFG approach was developed to design AMPs with controlled orientations after surface immobilization.
To extend this research into more complicated systems, surfaces immobilized with enzymes were characterized using SFG and coarse grained MD simulation. Results show that not only can the orientation of these immobilized enzymes be controlled by selecting the surface immobilization site, but this surface orientation can dictate the enzymatic activity. The enzymatic activity is also affected by the property of the underlined surface for enzyme immobilization. With a more hydrophilic surface, a better enzymatic activity was observed.
Thirdly, methods of retaining the
structure and function of immobilized biomolecules in the absence of bulk water were developed. Both native secondary
structure and orientation of surface immobilized biomolecules can be retained and controlled by physically attached sugar coatings and chemically co-immobilized poly-saccharide molecules. Chemically tethered sugar was found to be able to enhance the antibacterial activity of immobilized AMPs in dry conditions.
Lastly, the interfacial structures of protein therapeutics adsorbed at…

▼ Barley silage is a main crop forage source that used by the dairy producer in Western Canada. There are many barley forage varieties that used for silage production. However, there is limited information in their nutritional characteristics and utilization in dairy cows, meanwhile new corn forages that developed to Western Canada that required less crop heat units to reach the maturity stage for silage production. The objectives of the Experiment 1 and 2 were: (1) to assess the magnitude of difference among barley silage varieties in comparison with short-season corn silage in terms of their chemical composition, energy values, protein and carbohydrates fractions, rumen degradation kinetics, and intestinal absorbed true protein supply to dairy cattle and (2) to define the interactive association between molecular
structure of silages and carbohydrates or protein utilization in dairy cows. The two experiments were complete randomized design with four treatments: corn silage (P7213R), CDC Cowboy barley silage, CDC Copeland barley silage, and Xena barley silage. The barley silage varieties were selected based on varying rate of in vitro neutral detergent fiber digestibility (ivNDFD). Five cannulated lactating dairy cows were used for measuring in situ rumen degradation kinetics. Intestinal digestibility of rumen undegraded feed protein was estimated using three-step in vitro procedure. The protein and carbohydrates related-molecular
structure spectral data was collected using attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FT/IR) molecular
vibrational spectroscopy. Corn silage showed the highest total digestible nutrient and energy content. Cowboy showed lower energy content and lower dry matter (DM) degradation in the rumen relative to other barley varieties. All studied silages exhibited the same level of metabolizable protein supply to dairy cows. Molecular structural analysis showed significant modifications in protein or carbohydrates related molecular spectral intensity. The protein
structure α-helix to β-sheet ratio are correlated to total intestinally absorbed protein supply. The spectral intensities of carbohydrates were highly correlated with the digestible carbohydrate content of silages.
The objective of the Experiment 3 was to evaluate the effect of barely silage varieties selected for varying rates of ivNDFD on DM intake (DMI), milk production, and total chewing activity of high-yield dairy cows in compared with short-season corn silage. Four mid-lactating multiparous Holstein cows (DIM = 101 ± 25; parities = 2.75 ± 0.83) were used in a 4 × 4 Latin square design. The CDC Cowboy with higher ivNDFD did not result in improvements in milk yield, feed efficiency, or total chewing activity compared with other barley silage varieties. Cows fed P7213R corn silage-based diet tended to have higher DMI (28.1 vs. 25.7; P = 0.10) and produce more milk (40.1 vs. 35.3 kg/d; P = 0.01) than those fed barley silage-based diets. This implies that the cows fed corn silage-based diet improved feed efficiency…

▼ The interest in developing high performance thermoelectric materials has inspired a wide
range of theoretical and experimental studies of their structural, electrical and lattice
dynamical properties. In this dissertation, I have employed x-ray spectroscopy and scattering
techniques to investigate the local
structure and
vibrational dynamics of various
fillers and dopants in thermoelectric Co4Sb12-based skutterudites.
X-ray absorption spectroscopy studies were carried out to elucidate the local
structure
of Ga and Yb dopants in a series of polycrystalline YbxGayCo4Sb12. EXAFS data at
Ga K-edge provide direct experimental evidence that Ga dopants occupy two distinct
crystallographic sites. The fraction of Ga occupying the 24g site increases gradually as a
function of additional Yb, reaching 100% when x = 0.4. Combined with the Fermi level
shift observed in the x-ray absorption near-edge
structure (XANES) spectra, we find
the charge-compensated defect model can explain the observed increase of Ga24 fraction
very well. This study provides an important strategy to optimize the thermoelectric
performance in partially filled skutterudites.
Significant interaction between filler species was further investigated in the double-
filled YbxInyCo4Sb12 samples. We found in both Yb-Ga and Yb-In double-filled skutterudites
the local
structure of Ga and In are
subject to the lling concentration of the
secondary filler, Yb. However, contrary to the Ga dopants which form dual-site defects
in the absence of Yb fillers, the result shows that both Yb and In occupy the on-center
2a sites exclusively in their single-lled samples. The temperature dependent EXAFS
results provide further evidence that the In2a, very similar to the normal filler Yb, is
loosely bound inside the cage and vibrates as an Einstein oscillator. This is distinct from
Ga2a which forms a stiff bond with the cage atoms at a rather high Debye temperature.
The
vibrational dynamics of Yb fillers has been studied in YbxCo4Sb12 compounds
by performing both EXAFS and inelastic x-ray scattering (IXS) measurements. The low-energy
vibrational mode introduced by the Yb fillers has been successfully detected. We further found that the cubic anharmonic interaction between Yb and Sb is well evident at high temperatures.

▼ Compound semiconductors are the foundation of many electronic and optoelectronic devices. As a result semiconductor epitaxy can be viewed as the first significant step in device engineering. Accurate and reliable characterization methods are needed to measure semiconductor properties including optical, electrical, vibrational and crystal structure. In this thesis, the epitaxy of ZnTe thin films on sapphire substrate by Pulsed Laser Deposition system at different growth temperatures is studied. The texture analysis is inspected by Two Dimensional X-Ray Diffraction. The lattice constant of the films and strain studies are investigated by High Resolution X-Ray Diffraction. UV-Vis spectroscopy is applied to find absorption edge in ZnTe thin film in order to estimate optical bandgap. These common characterization methods reveal the great effect of growth temperature on crystalline and optical properties of ZnTe thin films. In addition, Raman spectroscopy is used for the first time in the Preston's group to examine vibrational modes in ZnTe thin films. This new characterization method, which is the main focus of this thesis, uncovers some new features of ZnTe thin films not accessible through other techniques. In this thesis, optimum experimental conditions, instrumentation and data analysis of Raman observations in thin films are studied in detail. The final results are in good agreement with other characterization methods and they can justify crystalline and optical observations. These results demonstrate that Raman spectroscopy is a non-destructive characterization method applicable to thin film analysis.

▼ ABSTRACT
The general objectives of this study were to: (1) compare structural, physiochemical, and nutritional characterization among faba bean samples (stem, leaf, whole pods, whole plant and whole plant silage) and (2) use different parts of faba bean, whole plant faba bean and whole plant faba bean silage as references to study the effect of rumen digestion on the change of its spectral
structure and its association to protein and carbohydrate digestion and metabolism characteristics. The faba bean samples used for this research were from three different plots in Yellow Creek, Saskatchewan with 97 days maturity (late pod stage) and the variety used was CDC Snowdrop. This research consists of three Projects. In Chapter 3, chemical analyses, energy parameters, CNCPS fractions, rumen degradation kinetics, N to energy synchronization, intestinal digestion and metabolizable protein supply prediction with NRC-2001 and DVE/OEB systems were conducted. In Chapter 4, both univariate and multivariate analyses of FTIR spectroscopy were conducted for selected spectral parameters and spectral regions in original and 12 and 24 h incubation residue samples. In Chapter 5, interactive association between nutritional data in Chapter 3 and spectral data in Chapter 4 were studied. Significance was declared at P < 0.05 and tendency at 0.05 ≤ P ≤ 0.10 in all studies. In Chapter 3, whole pods (WP) of faba bean had the highest starch, crude protein (CP), soluble crude protein (SCP) and the least acid detergent insoluble crude protein (ADICP). Total digestible nutrients (TDN), rumen degradable protein (RUP) intestinal digestibility and feed milk value (FMV) were also highest in whole pods faba bean, therefore it had the highest nutritional values. Whole plant faba silage compared with whole plant (WPL) faba bean had higher (P < 0.05) starch and CP contents; and lower (P < 0.05) degradation rate (kd) of NDF, effective digestible NDF (EDNDF). In NRC-2001 system, Leaf, WP and faba silage had comparable (P > 0.1) metabolizable protein supply and FMV. But in DVE/OEB system, WP had the highest metabolizable protein supply and FMV; WPL was only numerically higher than silage in metabolizable protein supply and FMV. In Chapter 4, as for protein related spectral parameters, peak height of beta sheet, amide I, peak area of amide II and area ratio of amide I to amide II, spectral intensity was decreased with increasing time of incubation. In other spectral parameters, incubation time was interacted with different types of faba bean samples. As for carbohydrate related spectral parameters of total carbohydrate first peak (TC1) height and cellulosic compounds (CEC) peak height and peak area, spectral intensity was increased after incubated in the rumen. Faba bean samples significantly interacted with incubation time for other spectral profiles. With multivariate analyses, it is found that (1) Original samples can be discriminate from incubation residue samples; (2) 12 and 24 h incubation samples were grouped together. As a result, spectral features…

▼ Historically, low-lying excitations in
deformed nuclei have presented unique challenges in the context of
nuclear
structure. Early formulations of a geometric model surmise
that quadrupole and octupole surface shape vibrations can be
superimposed on top of a pre-existing prolately deformed nucleus.
As the experimental evidence trickles in, this idea of strongly
collective behavior becomes obscured for a multitude of reasons.
Successful interpretation of the feasibility of quadrupole
vibrations hinges on the extraction of transition probabilities
between nuclear states, which can be determined via the measurement
of level lifetimes. Femtosecond to picosecond range nuclear
lifetimes can be measured with the Doppler Shift Attenuation Method
via Inelastic Neutron Scattering at the University of Kentucky
Accelerator Laboratory, where we have performed a series of
measurements of nuclear lifetimes in two rare-earth nuclei, 160Gd
and 162Dy. This work discusses the lifetime measurements made,
analysis techniques implemented, and nuclear
structure as it
pertains to single- and multi-phonon configurations of the
previously mentioned deformed nuclei.

▼ Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are now the most
common protein therapeutics on the market. The therapeutic
properties of mAbs originate from their inherent ability to
specifically bind to a chosen target and the subsequent stimulation
of effector functions as result of mAb glycosylation. Therefore
mAbs are able to act as drug delivery systems, inhibitors or
activators. Protein therapeutic characterisation possesses inherent
analytical difficulties as mAbs are complex structures made up of
multiple domains. The higher order
structure of mAbs is essential
for their specificity for targeted treatments. During the
production of mAbs, the bioformulation process can induce
structural perturbations that we separate into two main categories:
Post-translational modifications (PTMs) and degradation. The most
common PTMs are oxidation, deamidation and glycation. Degradation
of mAbs covers general loss of
structure through aggregation and
fragmentation. Due to the wide variation and number of possible
modifications to mAbs, monitoring, identification and
quantification is difficult. Current analytical methods are
dependent on sampling, are often destructive, and require time and
expertise.
Vibrational spectroscopic methods have been highlighted
as possible analytical methods to overcome previous shortcomings.
In particular, Raman spectroscopy has the potential to be developed
into an in-line analytical tool due to being minimally invasive,
non-destructive, information rich and rapid. Raman and FTIR are
already utilised for in situ monitoring of pharmaceutical
manufacturing, such as small molecules, but have not yet been
extended into the quality control of mAbs. In this thesis we use a
range of conditions to force the degradation and increase the PTM
levels of three of the most common types of mAbs: IgG1, Fab and
IgG4. We use circular dichroism (CD), peptide mapping, and size
exclusion chromatography (SEC) to quantify and study the structural
implications of the PTMs and degradation, and compare these to the
information gained from Raman spectroscopy. Bioformulation
parameters probed include: agitation, pH, temperature, sugar
excipients, chemical stressors and UV light. Primarily, we explore
the sensitivity of Raman spectroscopy to detect, quantify and
provide a structural insight into the modifications. Additionally,
we study the aggregation of mAbs to investigate the structural
consequences on the protein, as well as identify spectral markers
that could be used to monitor aggregation.

▼ Ce travail a pour objet de synthétiser de nouveaux matériaux hybrides organiques-inorganiques, de types silsesquioxanes pontants. La structure locale et les propriétés de luminescence sont caractérisées en vue d’applications potentielles dans le domaine de la photonique durable comme les concentrateurs solaires.Dans ce contexte, trois familles distinctes de matériaux sont synthétisées, basées sur six précurseurs pouvant s’auto-assembler à travers des liaisons hydrogènes et dont les parties sililées peuvent être poly-condensées lors de la réaction sol-gel. Ces précurseurs diffèrent par leur sous structure organique i.e. 1) structure linéaire où la partie organique est basée sur le groupement malonamide (P2-m et P4-m); 2) structure linéaire dans laquelle un aromatique sépare deux groupements amide et/ou thioamide (P(UU), P(UT) and P(TT)) et 3) une structure à trois embranchements dont la partie organique est basée sur des groupements amides (t-UPTES (5000)).Les deux hybrides organiques inorganiques (M2-m et M4-m) résultant de l’hydrolyse condensation des précurseurs P2-m et P4-m sont synthétisés en présence de lanthanides. On étudie l’impact de la présence d’un ou deux groupes malonamides sur la structure locale et les propriétés de photoluminescence.Les hybrides organiques-inorganiques (H(UU), H(UT) and H(TT)) sont obtenus par hydrolyse condensation des précurseurs des précurseurs (P(UU), P(UT) and P(TT)). Des composés organiques modèles des trois sous structurels organiques sont également synthétisés. L’impact de la substitution du groupement urée par le groupement thio-urée sur la structure locale des modèles et des hybrides est étudié par spectroscopie vibrationnelle. Les mécanismes de compressions et les propriétés optiques des matériaux sont ensuite analysés à la lumière des différents types de liaisons hydrogènes (urée-urée, urée-thio-urée et thio-urée – thio-urée) mises en évidence dans ces composés.es hybrides basés sur les précurseurs t-UPTES(5000) sont synthétisés selon différentes stratégies. En changeant la concentration de HCl et d’eau ou en effectuant la synthèse dans un environnement contrôlé, on montre une amélioration des propriétés optiques de ce système, en particulier, le rendement quantique absolu et le coefficient d’absorption. De plus, les mécanismes de recombinaison responsables de l’émission sont étudiés à travers la comparaison entre les propriétés de luminescence des modèles organiques et inorganiques.Finalement, de par leur affinité pour les ions lanthanides les précurseurs P2-m and P4-m ont été dopés par des ions Eu3+. La structure locale des hybrides correspondants montre une coordination entre l’hybride et l’hôte. Grâce à un rendement quantique de luminescence très élevé pour ces matériaux, des concentrateurs solaires luminescents peuvent être développés présentant un maximum de rendement quantique absolu de 0.60+/-0.06 et un rendement de conversion optique de 12.3% dans la région spectrale (300-380 nm).
The present work aims to synthesize new organic-inorganic hybrid materials, bridge…

▼ Between the world of classical and quantum mechanics
there lies a region where both are used to provide an accurate
(quantum) but computationally tractable (classical) description of
motion: semiclassical mechanics. The heart of semiclassical theory
is the use of the classical path (or, alternatively, the classical
trajectory), in a way to elucidate quantum mechanical properties.
At the heart of this theory is the semiclassical expression of the
quantum mechanical propagator: e-iHt/hbar. By reexpressing the
propagator in semiclassical form (specifically, the Herman-Kluk
initial value representation), we are able to use classical
trajectories to determine the vibrational energies of molecules. We
first develop the software tools for ab initio molecular dynamics
in MMTK. In the process of doing so, we have examined the ground
and excited state dynamics of the methyl hypochlorite CH3OCl
molecule. Vertical excitation energies and transition dipole
moments are calculated at the complete active space self-consistent
field (CASSCF)/6-31+G(d) level of theory. With these proven tools,
the semiclassical initial value representation (SC-IVR) method for
the calculation of vibrational state energies is implemented into
this framework. This is the main focus of the thesis. A thorough
analysis of the vibrational energies for some of the fundamental,
overtone and combination modes of H2CO is completed. Then, the
time-averaged variant of SC-IVR is implemented on the same
molecular system. Through this study, we have discovered many
caveats of SC-IVR calculations which we discuss. We have shown that
ab initio SC-IVR is a useful method to calculate vibrational
energies and that its values approach that of quantum mechanical
methods such as vibrational self-consistent field (VSCF) and
vibrational configuration interaction (VCI).

▼ Polymers are widely used in modern microelectronics as adhesives, organic substrates, chip passivation layers, insulating dielectric materials, and photoresists in microlithography. The interfacial structures of polymer materials determine the interfacial properties of the materials. Weak adhesion or delamination at interfaces involving polymer materials can lead to failure of microelectronic devices. Therefore, it is important to investigate the molecular structures of such interfaces. However, it is difficult to study molecular structures of buried interfaces due to a lack of appropriate analytical techniques. This dissertation presents the development of the nonlinear optical technique sum frequency generation (SFG)
vibrational spectroscopy into a metrology tool for nondestructive characterization of molecular structures at buried polymer interfaces in microelectronic packages in situ and the elucidation of relationships between buried molecular structures and interfacial properties such as adhesion strength. Buried polymer/epoxy, copper/epoxy, and silicon/organosilicate dielectric interfaces were investigated. SFG was used to directly probe molecular structures at buried adhesive interface in situ. Plasma treatment of polymer surfaces was found to alter the molecular
structure at corresponding buried interfaces prepared using the plasma treated surfaces. Hygrothermal aging treatment was found to influence hydrophobic polymer/polymer interfaces less than hydrophilic interfaces, showing that hydrophobic materials can better resist delamination during qualification testing in high humidity environments. Copper/epoxy interfaces were found to delaminate near, but not exactly at, the metal/polymer interface and silane adhesion promoters were found to modify the interfacial region near the copper surface which suggests that the interfacial layer near copper needs to be modified to improve adhesion. Quantitative data analysis methodology was developed to simultaneously characterize the surface and buried interface of silicon-supported thin low-k polymer films nondestructively before and after microelectronic processing steps which provided a molecular level understanding of the effects of the processing. The general nature of the methodology enables it to be directly utilized to elucidate
structure-property relationships at buried interfaces by correlating interfacial structures to interfacial properties.
Structure-property relationships elucidated using this methodology can be used to guide the rational engineering of buried polymer interfaces with optimized properties in many practical applications such as polymer composites, optical fibers, paints, and anticorrosion coatings.

▼ Soda lime silica (SLS) glass is the most widely used glass materials in terms of mass in windows, glass bottles & containers, etc. One of the biggest challenge for SLS glass is its brittleness or prone to be damaged at ambient conditions. One important reason is that cracks propagation on SLS glass surface can be significantly accelerated by tensile stress induced corrosion reactions of amorphous silicate network, which breaks the Si-O-Si bonds to form two silanol groups, known as stress corrosion effect. It has also been found that stress corrosion reactions are faster with the increase of relative humidity (RH). The propagation of cracks will eventually lead to the failure of SLS glass. However, very little is known on the reactions between glass and water in the environment induced by interfacial shear, which results in the removal of SLS glass.
Recently, it has been found that SLS glass shows unique response to interfacial shear in humid conditions through a ball-on-flat wear test. For most of the commercial flat glasses, including silica, borosilicate glasses, boroaluminosilicate glasses and aluminosilicate glasses, the amount of wear will increase as the humidity level increases. Only SLS glass shows wear resistance at high relative humidity. It is found that shear-induced hydrolysis reactions take place on SLS glass surface for medium and low RH conditions. Then this shear-induced hydrolysis reaction must be “suppressed” or have similar reaction rates of its reverse reactions (condensation of silanols) at high RH. One hypothesis is that Na+/H+ + H2O exchange could take place at high RH, which creates surface residual compressive stress at the meantime. Compressive stress which could lower the effective tensile stress on glass surface, is believed to stabilize or hinder the propagation of cracks. Then the amount of wear could also be lowered if the applied stress is not large enough to induce hydrolysis reactions.
To test this hypothesis and explore the factors that govern the shear-induced reactions on SLS glass surface, effects of different structural units, surface mechanical properties and compressive stress, Na+/H+ + H2O exchange are investigated in this dissertation. It should be noted that these factors cannot be easily isolated. Therefore, multiple different treatments need to be performed to modify the surface chemical structures of SLS glass. These surface treatments include hydrothermal reactions, leaching in acid solution, thermal poling in controlled environment, ion-exchange with KNO3. The governing factors are determined through correlating the changes in surface chemical
structure, mechanical properties with the wear behavior. It is found that surface mechanical properties, compressive stress and alteration layers created by Na+/H+ + H2O exchange are not responsible for SLS glass’s unique wear behavior at high RH. While no specific mechanism has been identified, mobile Na+ cations and silicate network
structure are suggested to be the dominating factors.
To better understand the amorphous…

▼ Biomolecular structure elucidation is crucial for our detailed understanding of various biological processes, since there is an intimate relationship between the biomolecular function and structure. In this respect, isolated biomolecules, despite being outside of their natural environment, are perfect model systems for in-depth studies of various fundamental interactions that govern the formation of biomolecular structure. This thesis focuses on structure elucidation of isolated molecules of biological importance, with special emphasis on the development of novel infrared (IR) laser spectroscopic tools.
The first part of the thesis applies far-IR spectroscopy, which excites low-frequency molecular vibrations in the IR light wavelength range of λ > 12 µm. The far-IR range provides valuable structural information complementing the well-established mid-IR (λ = 2.5 - 12 µm) spectroscopic analysis. However, routine application of far-IR spectroscopy to biomolecular structure elucidation is complicated by the limited knowledge of structure-specific far-IR spectral features, as well as poor performance of conventional theoretical approaches for the treatment of delocalized and anharmonic far-IR vibrational modes. In the attempt to fill these knowledge gaps, we applied far-IR spectroscopy to small, aromatic molecules of biological importance, which have a relatively low number of vibrational modes in the far-IR and are amenable to highly-accurate quantum-chemical calculations and detailed vibrational assignment. Isomer- and conformer-specific far-IR features of cold isolated aminophenol and methylacetanilide molecules were obtained with IR-UV ion-dip spectroscopy and assigned with the help of quantum chemical calculations. The observed far-IR transitions associated with deformation of the peptide link, an important structural unit in proteins, were found to be highly sensitive to the peptide link planarity, trans/cis configuration, and hydrogen bonding.
The powerful conformer-selective IR-UV ion-dip spectroscopy technique applied in the first part of the thesis is unfortunately restricted to molecules that possess an aromatic UV-absorption chromophore. The studies presented in the second part of the thesis attempt to circumvent this limitation by introducing a novel approach that combines cooling of molecules in a supersonic jet, IR multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD), vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) ionization, and mass spectrometry. The approach was demonstrated by measuring the vibrational spectrum of the simplest peptide analog, N-methylacetamide, and its oligomers. The possibility to extract structural information from the IRMPD-VUV spectra was investigated for the Gly-Gly and Ala-Ala dipeptides, which are particularly interesting due to possible competition between their extended (β-strand like) and folded structures. The measured spectra for these dipeptides showed that the extended structure with weak hydrogen bonding interactions is strongly favored in the cold molecular beam due to its higher flexibility (larger…

▼ A quantum mechanical density functional theory approach was used to investigate the structural atomic configuration, vibration mode frequencies and electronic
structure of surfaces and interfaces using germanium. Initially, we investigated the H2S and H2Opassivated germanium surfaces. A supercell approach is used with the local density (LDA), generalized gradient (GGA) approximations and van der Waals (vdW) interactions. The frozen phonon method was used to calculate the
vibrational mode frequencies of these surfaces. The calculated frequencies produce stretch, bond bending and wag modes. The differences between the functionals including vdW terms and the LDA or GGA are less than the differences between LDA and GGA for the
vibrational mode frequencies. Some of these modes provide useful
vibrational signatures of bonding of both sulfur and oxygen on germanium surfaces, which may be compared with
vibrational spectroscopy measurements. A bare germanium surface is bonded to a bare silicon surface to form a Ge-Si interface. As germanium has a 4% larger lattice constant than silicon this implies there are regions on the interface where the germanium and silicon match perfectly (aligned) and are completely mismatched (misaligned). The atomic
structure of the GeSi aligned interface shows the original crystal
structure and the projected band
structure (PBS) shows no interface states in the band gap. The GeSi misaligned
structure forms a (2x1) configuration. The electronic PBS shows interface states in the band gap. To remove the interface states seen in the GeSi interface, sulfur with its six valence electrons and its flexible chemical bonds is suggested to improve the interface bonding and remove interface states. The PBS in both the aligned and misaligned GeSSi interfaces shows states around the germanium and silicon interface atomic layers and a charge density localised around the sulfur interface atoms. A sulfur terminated germanium surface results in a (1x1) configuration with surface states present in the band gap. However, a H2S terminated germanium surface results in a (2x1) configuration with symmetric Ge-Ge dimers and pushes the surface states into the bulk region, implying the presence of hydrogen results in no surface states. Including hydrogen on our GeSSi interfaces, the atomic configuration remains the same with the hydrogen molecule in the channels. However, upon looking at the PBS, states are clearly visible in the band gap and when we investigate the charge density contour plots, interface states do exist. Therefore, the presence of hydrogen here does not influence the interfaces.

▼ Research on two-dimensional (2D) materials currently occupies a sizeable fraction of the materials science community, which has led to the development of a comprehensive body of knowledge on such layered structures. However, the goal of this thesis is to deepen the understanding of the comparatively unknown heterostructures composed of different stacked layers. First, we utilise linear-scaling density functional theory (LS-DFT) to simulate intricate interfaces between the most promising layered materials, such as transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDC) or black phosphorus (BP) and hexagonal boron nitride (hBN). We show that hBN can protect BP from external influences, while also preventing the band-gap reduction in BP stacks, and enabling the use of BP heterostructures as tunnelling field effect transistors. Moreover, our simulations of the electronic structure of TMDC interfaces have reproduced photoemission spectroscopy observations, and have also provided an explanation for the coexistence of commensurate and incommensurate phases within the same crystal. Secondly, we have developed new functionality to be used in the future study of 2D heterostructures, in the form of a linear-response phonon formalism for LS-DFT. As part of its implementation, we have solved multiple implementation and theoretical issues through the use of novel algorithms.

▼ The cadmium isotopes have been cited as excellent examples of
vibrational nuclei for decades, with multi-phonon quadrupole, quadrupole-octupole, and mixed-symmetry states proposed. A large amount of spectroscopic data has been obtained from a variety of experiments, recently focused on gamma-ray studies. In the present work, the single particle
structure of 112Cd has been investigated using the 111Cd(d,p)112Cd reaction. The high energy resolution investigation was carried out using a 22 MeV beam of polarized deuterons obtained from the Maier-Leibnitz Laboratory at Garching, Germany. The reaction ejectiles were momentum analyzed using a Q3D magnetic spectrometer, and 129 levels have been identified up to 4.2 MeV of excitation energy. Spin-parity has been assigned to each analyzed level, and angular distributions for the reaction cross sections and analyzing powers were obtained. Optical model calculations have been performed, and the calculated angular distributions were compared with the experimental cross sections and analyzing powers. Many additional levels have been observed compared with the previous (d,p) study performed with 8 MeV deuterons, including strongly populated 5- and 6- states. The former was previously assigned as a member of the quadrupole-octupole quintuplet, based on a strongly enhanced B(E2) value to the 3- state, but is now reassigned as being predominately s1/2 x h11/2 two-quasineutron configuration.

▼ Enormous advances in computing power in recent decades have made it possible to perform accurate numerical simulations of a wide range of systems in condensed matter physics. At the forefront of this progress has been density functional theory (DFT), a very popular approach to tackling the complexity of quantum-mechanical systems that very often strikes a good balance between accuracy and tractability in light of the finite computational resources available to researchers.
This thesis describes work utilising DFT methods to tackle two distinct problems. Firstly, the theoretical prediction of stable and metastable periodic structures under specified conditions using the ab initio random structure searching (AIRSS) method, which involves a large scale exploration of the Born-Oppenheimer energy surface, and secondly the use of a vibrational self-consistent field (VSCF) approach to investigate the effects of nuclear motion and anharmonicity in crystal systems, which involves a local exploration of the Born-Oppenheimer energy surface.
The AIRSS crystal structure prediction method is here applied to a study of defect structures in graphene. It is also applied to a study of the xenon-oxygen binary system under a range of geological pressures (83–200 GPa). Novel xenon oxide structures are predicted and characterised theoretically. This work was carried out in collaboration with an experimental study of the system at the lower end of the pressure range.
The VSCF approach to investigating anharmonicity is here applied to the study of tin selenide (SnSe), a material that has recently been shown to demonstrate consider- able promise as a thermoelectric material. In this thesis, the effects of the anharmonic nuclear motion on the vibrational and electronic properties of SnSe are investigated quantitatively.

▼ Este trabalho enquadra-se dentro dos objetivos da engenharia de cristais moleculares para a obtenção de novas formas sólidas que possam apresentar propriedades farmacêuticas aprimoradas, especificamente de um dos fármacos mais utilizados e comercializados na terapia antirretroviral, contra o HIV: lamivudina, β-L-2\',3\'-didesoxi-3\'-tiocitidina (3TC). As formas cristalinas apresentadas correspondem aos sais dos ácidos inorgânicos: bromidrato (3TCH+TCH-Br-), difluoridrato de hidrogênio (3TCH+TCH-F-HF) e nitrato de lamivudina (3TCH+TCH-NO3-). Estes novos sais cristalizaram no grupo espacial não-centrossimétrico P21, com um par iônico por unidade assimétrica. Os sais halogenados (3TCH+TCH-Br- e 3TCH+TCH-F-HF) apresentaram arranjos supramoleculares isoestruturais inclusive com o sal anidro do cloridrato de lamivudina (3TCH+TCH-Cl-), reportado em trabalhos anteriores no nosso grupo de pesquisa, e cuja solubilidade no equilíbrio apresentou um aumento em relação à
forma farmacêutica da 3TC. A característica principal dos arranjos cristalinos destes sais está relacionada com o ordenamento supramolecular das unidades catiônicas 3TCH+, a qual é constante, observando-se a formação de vacâncias entre elas ao longo do eixo cristalino a, decorrente da simetria helicoidal característica do grupo espacial. Desta forma, os ânions se acomodam nos interstícios destas vacâncias estabilizando o arranjo cristalino. Entretanto, o sal 3TCH+NO3- apresentou um comportamento conformacional e supramolecular diferente do observado nos sais halogenados. Neste caso observaram-se a formação de fitas helicoidais ao longo do eixo b, as quais vão se acoplando por simetria translacional na direção horizontal no plano [10-1] por meio de ligações de hidrogênio clássicas do tipo N–H•••O entre os fragmentos citosinicos e O–H•••O dos grupos hidroxilas e os ânions nitrato correspondentemente. Portanto, há
a formação de planos moleculares em ziguezague, que posteriormente vão se arquitetando paralelamente na direção [1 0 -1] através de interações de curto alcance. Tanto as características conformacionais e supramoleculares, quanto a pureza exibida pelos sais foram também corroboradas com a ajuda de outras técnicas de análise no estado sólido, como a difração de raios X por pó (DRXP), a análise vibracional no infravermelho (IV) e Raman, e a análise térmica: calorimetria exploratória diferencial (DSC), termogravimetria (TG) e microscopia termo-óptica (Hot-stage). Cálculos de single-point em nível da teoria do funcional da densidade (DFT) foram realizados com o intuito de auxiliar na compreensão de algumas interações intermoleculares. Comparações das propriedades estruturais dos sais sintetizados com algumas formas já reportadas da 3TC (por exemplo, a 3TCH-Cl) permitiram inferir possíveis propriedades farmacêuticas.

▼ Tetramethylphosphoniumfluorid
wurde NMR- und schwingungs-spektroskopisch charakterisiert.
(CH3)4PF ist ein farbloser, hygroskopischer Feststoff der in
Wasser, Methanol, MeCN und in wenig polaren Lösungsmitteln wie
Diethylether oder Benzol löslich ist. Tetramethylphosphoniumfluorid
weißt bei Raumtemperatur einen Dampfdruck von 1.6 hPa auf. Die
ionogene Aufbau konnte in Form einer Einkristallstruktur des
wasserfreien Salzes und des Tetrahydrates nachgewiesen werden. Die
Bestimmung der Gas-Phasen-Struktur ergab einen
trigonalbypyramidalen Aufbau des gasförmigen (CH3)4PF, der durch
die schwingungspektroskopischen Ergebnisse untermauert wurde. Die
axialen Bindungen P F und P C sind bemerkenswert schwach und mit
175.3 pm liegt im (CH3)4PF die größte bekannte P F-Abstand eines
Phosphoranes vor. Zur Quantifizierung der Nackheit einer
Fluoridionenquelle wurden 19F-NMR-spektroskpische Untersuchungen
der Festkörper und Lösungen der Fluoride durchgeführt. Die
Ergebisse zeigten jedoch, dass die chemische Verschiebung des
Fluoridanions als Maß für die Reaktivität nicht herangezogen werden
kann. Die Reaktionen von (CH3)4PF mit SO2, CH3CN, (CH3)2PF3 und
CH3PF3H führten zur Bildung der entsprechenden Anionen, die in
allen Fällen nahezu quantitativ gebildet wurden. Die Produkte
wurden ausnahmslos schwingungs- und NMR-spektroskopisch
charakterisiert. (CH3)4AsF wurde erstmals dargestellt und
Raman-spectroskopisch charakterisiert.. Es handelt sich um einen
farbloser, hygroskopischer Feststoff mit ionogen Aufbau, der mit
SO2 und HF unter Bildung der entsprechenden Anionen reagiert. Die
Methylfluorphosphate M[CH3PF5], M[CH3PF4H] und M[(CH3)2PF4] (M =
Cs, (CH3)4N) wurden isoliert und NMR- und
schwingungsspektroskopisch charakterisiert. Für die Anionen wurden
quantenmechanische Berechnungen (B3LYP/6-31+G*; RHF/6-31+G*)
durchgeführt und die erhaltenen Strukturvorhersagen konnten im Fall
des trans-Dimethyltetrafluorphosphats durch eine
Einkristallstrukturuntersuchung experimentell bestätigt werden. Für
[CH3PF4H] und [(CH3)2PF4] wurden ausschließlich die trans-Isomere
beobachtet.

▼ O polimorfismo à a habilidade de um material existir em mais de uma forma cristalina. à bem estabelecido que os fÃrmacos podem existir em diversas formas polimÃrficas e estas propriedades possuem um impacto na qualidade/desempenho dos medicamentos, tais como a estabilidade quÃmica, a dissoluÃÃo e a biodisponibilidade. A proposta desse trabalho foi realizar uma caracterizaÃÃo e monitoraÃÃo das propriedades do estado sÃlido de quatro princÃpios ativos farmacÃuticos bastante utilizados no mercado brasileiro. Estes fÃrmacos foram escolhidos com o intuito de investigar alguns dos aspectos mais relevantes do polimorfismo. O mebendazol foi utilizado para demonstrar o efeito da estrutura cristalina na solubilidade e tambÃm o possÃvel comprometimento da biodisponibilidade de comprimidos do mesmo. O estudo do benzonidazol confirma a necessidade de uma caracterizaÃÃo cuidadosa das formas sÃlidas. ApÃs quase cinqÃenta anos de uso no combate da doenÃa de Chagas, esse trabalho mostrou que o benzonidazol exibe pelo menos trÃs polimorfos os quais podem ser estabilizados à temperatura ambiente e poderiam afetar seu desempenho. Com o secnidazol uma famÃlia de formas sÃlidas de uso muito freqÃente foi investigada, os hidratos. Este IFA à ministrado na forma de um hemihidrato. A estabilidade desta estrutura foi averiguada e o processo de desidrataÃÃo monitorado. A existÃncia de polimorfos na fase anidra foi verificada. Finalmente, a dietilcarbamazina foi eleita como exemplo de um fÃrmaco utilizado na forma de sal, neste caso um citrato. Tanto o sal como o composto base foram estudados por diversas tÃcnicas de caracterizaÃÃo em estado sÃlido e as propriedades fÃsico-quÃmicas de ambos foram comparadas. Neste caso, quatro formas cristalinas do sal foram encontradas mostrando que o polimorfismo nÃo à uma propriedade exclusiva de sistemas mono-componentes. Em geral, os resultados desse trabalho demonstram como o uso combinado dos mÃtodos da FÃsica do Estado SÃlido fornece uma descriÃÃo detalhada de propriedades importantes para o entendimento do fenÃmeno do polimorfismo em fÃrmacos, dando suporte ao desenvolvimento de medicamentos seguros e eficazes.
Polymorphism is the ability of a solid material to exist in more than one crystalline structure. It is well established that pharmaceutical solids could exhibit diverse polymorphic forms and these properties have a direct impact in the drug quality/performance, such as chemical stability, dissolution and bioavailability. The proposal of this work was to characterize and monitor the solid state properties of four active pharmaceutical ingredients regularly used in the Brazilian market. These drugs had been chosen in order to investigate some of the most significant aspects of polymorphism. Mebendazole was used to demonstrate the effect of the crystal structure on the solubility and, therefore, the possible reduction of the bioavailability of tablets. The study of benzonidazole has confirmed the necessity of a careful characterization of the solid forms. After nearly fifty years of being used…

▼ The
vibrational potential energy surfaces in electronic ground and excited states of several ring molecules were investigated using several different spectroscopic methods, including far-infrared (IR), Raman, ultraviolet (UV) absorption, fluorescence excitation (FES), and single vibronic level fluorescence (SVLF) spectroscopies. Based on new information obtained from SVLF and millimeter wave spectra, the far-IR spectra of coumaran were reassigned and the one-dimensional ring-puckering potential energy functions for several
vibrational states in the S0 ground state were determined. The barrier was found to be 154 cm-1 and the puckering angles to be ñ 25ð, in good agreement with the millimeter wave barrier of 152 cm-1 and puckering angles of ñ 23ð. Moreover, the UV absorption and FES spectra of coumaran allowed the one-dimensional ring-puckering potential energy functions in the S1 excited state to be determined. The puckering barrier is 34 cm-1 for the excited state and the puckering angles are ñ 14ð. Several calculations with different basis sets have been carried out to better understand the unusual
vibrational frequencies of cyclopropenone. It was shown that there is strong interaction between the C=O and symmetric C-C stretching vibrations. These results differ quantitatively from a previous normal coordinate calculation and interpretation. The vapor-phase Raman spectrum of 3,7-dioxabicyclo[3.3.0]oct-1,5-ene was analyzed and compared to the predicted spectrum from DFT calculations. The spectrum further shows it has D2h symmetry, in which the skeletons of both rings are planar. The infrared and Raman spectra of vapor-phase and liquid-phase 1,4-benzodioxan and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene were collected and the complete
vibrational assignments for both molecules were made. Theoretical calculations predicted the barriers to planarity to be 4809 cm-1 for 1,2,3,4-tetrahydonaphthalene and 4095 cm-1 for 1,4-benzodioxan. The UV absorption, FES, and SVLF spectra of both molecules were recorded and assigned. Both one and two-dimensional potential energy functions of 1,4-benzodioxan for the ring-twisting and ring-bending vibrations were carried out for the S0 and S1(ÃÂ,ÃÂ*) states, and these were consistent with the high barriers calculated for both states. The low-frequency spectra of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene in both S0 and S1(ÃÂ,ÃÂ*) states were also analyzed.

▼ One of the challenges in the structural biological community is processing the wealth of protein data being produced today; therefore, the use of computational tools has been incorporated to speed up and help understand the structures of proteins, hence the functions of proteins. In this thesis, protein structure investigations were made through the use of Multivariate Analysis (MVA), and Fourier Transformed Infrared (FTIR), a form of vibrational spectroscopy. FTIR has been shown to identify the chemical bonds in a protein in solution and it is rapid and easy to use; the spectra produced from FTIR are then analysed qualitatively and quantitatively by using MVA methods, and this produces non-redundant but important information from the FTIR spectra. High resolution techniques such as X-ray crystallography and NMR are not always applicable and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, a widely applicable analytical technique, has great potential to assist structure analysis for a wide range of proteins. FTIR spectral shape and band positions in the Amide I (which contains the most intense absorption region), Amide II, and Amide III regions, can be analysed computationally, using multivariate regression, to extract structural information. In this thesis Partial least squares (PLS), a form of MVA, was used to correlate a matrix of FTIR spectra and their known secondary structure motifs, in order to determine their structures (in terms of "helix", "sheet", “310-helix”, “turns” and "other" contents) for a selection of 84 non-redundant proteins. Analysis of the spectral wavelength range between 1480 and 1900 cm-1 (Amide I and Amide II regions) results in high accuracies of prediction, as high as R2 = 0.96 for α-helix, 0.95 for β-sheet, 0.92 for 310-helix, 0.94 for turns and 0.90 for other; their Root Mean Square Error for Calibration (RMSEC) values are between 0.01 to 0.05, and their Root Mean Square Error for Prediction (RMSEP) values are between 0.02 to 0.12. The Amide II region also gave results comparable to that of Amide I, especially for predictions of helix content. We also used Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to classify FTIR protein spectra into their natural groupings as proteins of mainly α-helical structure, or protein of mainly β-sheet structure or proteins of some mixed variations of α-helix and β-sheet. We have also been able to differentiate between parallel and anti-parallel β-sheet. The developed methods were applied to characterize the secondary structure conformational changes of an unfolding protein as a function of pH and also to determine the limit of Quantitation (LoQ).Our structural analyses compare highly favourably to those in the literature using machine learning techniques. Our work proves that FTIR spectra in combination with multivariate regression analysis like PCA and PLS, can accurately identify and quantify protein secondary structure. The developed models in this research are especially important in the pharmaceutical industry where the therapeutic effect of drugs strongly…
