Abstract: <p>The appearance of a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in oxide interfaces between strontium titanate (STO) and other materials has become a major area of study. The behaviour of the 2DEG in STO is not well understood in part because the dielectric properties of STO are not well characterized. The differential susceptibility has a major impact on the electric fields within strontium… more

Name(s): Creator (cre): Mohanan, Athira, Thesis advisor (ths): NARINE, SURESH S, Degree committee member (dgc): Atkinson, Bill, Degree committee member (dgc): Chkrebtii, Anatoli, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p>The present thesis explores the cold flow properties of biodiesel and the effect of vegetable oil derived compounds on the crystallization path as well as the mechanisms at play at different stages and length scales. Model systems including triacylglycerol (TAG) oils and their derivatives, and a polymer were tested with biodiesel. The goal was to acquire the fundamental knowledge that… more
