Free volume manipulation of a 6FDA-HAB polyimide using a solid-State Protection/deProtection strategy
Polymer, 2021Co-Authors: Sharon Lin, Taigyu Joo, Francesco M. Benedetti, Laura C. Chen, Katherine Mizrahi Rodriguez, Qihui Qian, Cara M. Doherty, Zachary P. SmithAbstract:Abstract Tert-butoxycarbonyl (t-BOC) is a thermally labile moiety that can be used to protect hydroxyl groups on polymers. In this study, t-BOC was appended onto a polyimide consisting of 2,2′-bis-(3,4-dicarboxyphenyl) hexafluoropropane dianhydride (6FDA) and 3,3′-dihydroxy-4,4′-diamino-biphenyl (HAB), after which the polymer was formed into self-standing films. Solid-State thermal treatments were performed to systematically remove t-BOC moieties to alter the physical packing structure and concomitant gas transport properties of the polymer. Despite performing deProtection reactions well below the glass transition temperature of 6FDA-HAB (~300 °C), this free volume manipulation (FVM) approach produced only subtle differences in polymer density, fractional free volume, average free volume element size, and gas transport properties relative to the unprotected polymer. While these findings suggest that thermally removing covalently bound functional groups from polymer films can be used to manipulate free volume and gas transport performance for glassy polymers, more robust polymer systems than linear polyimides are required to preserve the nascent free volume architecture generated from this approach.

Quantum State Protection in finite-temperature environment via quantum gates.
Optics Express, 2019Co-Authors: Xiaodong Zeng, Guo-qin Ge, M. Suhail ZubairyAbstract:: We propose a protocol to protect the quantum States and entanglements from finite-temperature thermal noise via quantum gates. Compared to the common protocols protecting the quantum States and entanglements by using weak measurements and their reversals, no time-consuming weak measurements are needed in the present protocol and consequently, it is much faster. We also discuss the possible implementation of the protocol in cavity QED system.

Reversing the weak measurement of an arbitrary field with finite photon number
Physical Review A, 2009Co-Authors: Qingqing Sun, M. Al-amri, M. Suhail ZubairyAbstract:For an arbitrary field with finite photon number inside a leaky cavity, we show that the null-result measurement can be conditionally reversed, using either multiple atoms or a multilevel atom. Even with photons detected, a certain class of fields can still be probabilistically recovered. The State Protection probability in such a system can be significantly high.

Shipboard Solid-State Protection: Overview and Applications
IEEE Electrification Magazine, 2013Co-Authors: Rich Schmerda, Rodney Clark, Dan Nowak, Rob Cuzner, Steffen BunzelAbstract:This article presents an overview of the present art of low-voltage (LV) dc power distribution system Protection using solid-State protective devices (SSPDs). It describes how IGBTand IGCT-based SSPDs are constructed and how the important feature of galvanic isolation can be included in them. The article outlines the advantages of SSPDs, which include reduced fault-current level, greatly reduced current interruption time, limitation of arc-flash energy, improved acoustic performance, and reduced maintenance. It also demonstrates protective coordination using three of these solid-State circuit breakers and discusses new paradigms to consider. Test results are presented validating the use of restraint signals to aid in proper protective coordination in a generic three-level power distribution system. The article also shows test results for two paralleled SSPD building blocks used to make higher-current-rated solid-State circuit breakers, showing very good dynamic current sharing.
