, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Khosroabadi, Hossien (Supervisor) ; Akhavan Farshchi, Mohammad (Supervisor)
Abstract
After discovery of superconductivity in 1911 people try to find superconductors with higher Tc. High Tc superconductivity in cuprates and iron based superconductors was discovered in 1986 and 2008 respectively. However, there is not any unit theory for high Tc superconductivity in cuprates or iron based superconductors. Study of electronic and phonon structures of high Tc superconductor compounds can lead to find theory of high Tc superconductivity.

Development of an Intelligent Mission Based Orbital Design Environment for Earth Satellites
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Pourtakdoust, Hossien (Supervisor)
Abstract
Nowadays there are various means in the field of orbital mechanics used in different levels and their accuracy depends on the theory and complexity of the governing equations used in their development. Most of them just simulate the motion of an orbiting satellite while there exist some commercial products able to provide the user with the orbital performance specifications and almost none of them have a module to design an orbit, based on a required performance such as specific coverage / ground track, shadow/light duration, etc .... Although satisfying performance requirements and a set of orbital elements simultaneously only seems to be possible for some particular orbits, there is an...

Abstract
The present study aims at determining the elastic fields of ultra-small flaws and defects. These defects are often introduced undesirably in elastic solids during fabrication and their sizes are normally in the order of couple of nano-meters. In this work, the elastic fields around a circular nano-void subjected to a uniform farfield uniaxial tension, also the elastic fields of a nano-sized mode I crack under remote uniform loading are studied. In this paper the strain gradient theory developed by Mindlin and co-workers in 1960s is employed. According to this theory, the strain energy density assumes the form of a positive-definite function of the strain components and their first gradient....

Abstract
Granular composite samples of GdBa2Cu3O 7-δ (Gd123), PrBa2Cu3O 7-δ (Pr123), and Pr0.5Ba0.5Ba 2Cu3O7-δ (PrBa123) have been prepared by the solid state reaction technique. The characterization of samples has been done by SEM and XRD measurements. We have investigated the effect of Pr123 and PrBa123 insulating grains on the superconductor-insulator transition and the normal state resistivity of the (1 - n)Gd123-nPr123 and (1 - m)Gd123-mPrBa123 systems. The dominant diffusion of Pr ions onto the neighboring Gd123 grains in (1 - n)Gd123-nPr123 causes high rate of suppression of superconductivity similar to the chemical-doped GdPr123 system. For (1 - m)Gd123-mPrBal23 system, the suppression rate...

Abstract
The electronic structure of high temperature superconductor YBCO is calculated by pseudopotential density functional theory using VASP code for different values of ZO(4). Comparison of the results of equilibrium ZO(4) with other calculation techniques indicates the capability of pseudopotential VASP code in energy band structure calculations for HTSCs. Both charge distribution and band structure calculations indicate the transfer of hole carriers from the CuO chains to the CuU2 planes with the increase of ZO(4). It is resulted that the increase of Cu(1)-0(4) bond lengths causes the creation of holes in the CuO2 planes. The redistribution of charge density confirms the charge transfer...
A New Method for Integrated Controller and Observer Design of a Nonlinear System Using Genetic Programming
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Nobahari, Hadi (Supervisor)
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to design an integrated controller and observer (ICO) for a nonlinear system using genetic programming. ICO is a function that constructs control command directly from the measured state variables of the system. It means that, this function should imitate the behavior of the observer and controller and control the system with acceptable performance in different initial conditions, at the presence of disturbances and system uncertainties. The complexity of this design method, is not related to the complexity of the plant, in fact, the complexity in plant just effects at run time, but the design procedure does not change. So, if exact model of plant exist, using...

Event-Driven Web Application Testing
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Mirian Hossien Abadi, Hassan (Supervisor)
Abstract
There are different classes of event-driven softwares. These softwares include Graphical user interface, web application or embedded software. In these kinds of softwares, each user's action while using application is known as "event". The application responds to the action through changing behaviour and then waiting for another event. Testing software is the best way for checking the quality assurance of event-driven softwares. However, there are some problems as cause of creating lots of event sequences in testing these kinds of softwares. Therefore, many solutions are introduced for these problems. The goal of this report, is presenting new testing procedure for event-driven web...

Abstract
The effect of pressure has been studied on structural and electronic properties of LaOFeAs high-T c superconductor by ab initio density functional theory by using pseudopotential Quantum Espresso code. The lattice parameters and ionic positions in the ambient pressure and some high pressure up to 20 GPa have been calculated. The obtained data versus the simple scaling relation for the ionic positions and distances for mechanical pressures have been discussed. The results of band structure and magnetic moment calculations of this compound versus the applied pressure are presented in this paper. The results are compared with the other experimental and computational data in the literature

Abstract
The details of the crystal structure of the recently discovered Y 3Ba5Cu8O18+δ (Y358) superconductor have been determined by ab initio density functional theory. Total energy calculation has been performed for three different suggested structures with different oxygen content. The structure with a center of inversion symmetry and the highest oxygen concentration has the lowest total energy. Thus, it is the best choice for the Y358 crystal structure. By investigating the detailed structure, it is seen that this compound is arranged either of YBa2Cu3O7 and YBaCu2O 5 or YBaCu2O5 and BaCuO2 substructural blocks in the c direction. The difference between the total energy of Y358 compound and the...

Abstract
Calculations of the frozen phonon for Ag Raman modes of the superconducting Y Ba2 Cu3 O7 and Y Ba2 Cu4 O8 systems have been carried out using the pseudopotential density functional theory in the local density approximation employing the VASP code. The eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the Ag Raman modes for the two systems have been calculated and compared with other experimental and computational studies. Electronic band structure and total density of states have been calculated for all the bare Ag modes for both systems. By calculating the changes in the bands intersecting the Fermi energy by ionic displacements, the ionic dependence of the electronic band structure in each of the Ag Raman...

Abstract
Ab initio total energy calculations have been performed for superconducting GdBa2Cu3O7 and insulating PrBa 2Cu3O7 using the full-potential linear augmented plane-wave method in the local density approximation (LDA) and generalized gradient approximation (GGA). The comparison of the calculated unit cell volume and lattice parameters with the experimental data indicates the improvement of these parameters in the GGA relative to LDA. LDA and GGA give the equilibrium unit cell volume about 6% smaller and 1.25% larger than the experimental data, respectively for both systems. Thus frozen phonon calculations have been performed to determine the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the k=0 Ag modes of...
The Pr and oxygen correlation in the GdPr123 system

Abstract
We prepared single-phase polycrystalline Gd1-xPrx Ba2Cu3O7-δ samples with x = 0, 0.10, 0.15, and 0.20. The deoxygenation process of these samples was performed by an annealing method. Electrical resistivity measurements revealed depression of the transition temperature with the increase of x and δ. We calculated the hole concentration in the CuO2 plane for different values of x and δ. A linear dependence of transition temperature and hole concentration in the CuO2 plane was found as a function of 2δ + x. It is proposed that a combination of the localization and filling of holes should be considered as the effective mechanisms for the appearance of the Pr anomaly in HTSCs

Abstract
The XRD and SEM analyses, electrical resistivity, magnetoresistance, and Hall effect measurements have been performed on single phase polycrystalline Gd1-xPrxBa2Cu3O7-δ samples with x = 0.05, 0.10, and 0.15. The electrical resistivity measurements show a reduction of superconducting transition temperature and an increase of superconducting transition width with increasing x. The magnetoresistance measurements show small changes in the normal state, although large in the superconducting state. The superconducting transition width also increases with the magnetic field at least up to 10 kOe, and it shows a scaling relation with the magnetic field for all of the samples. The derived...

Abstract
Calculations of structural and electronic properties of two YBa 2Cu3O7 (YBCO) and YSr2Cu 3O7 (YSCO) high-Tc cuprate isofamilies for ambient and high mechanical pressures (-15 GPa≤pm≤15 GPa) have been carried out by pseudopotential density functional theory in the local density approximation employing VASP code. We have analyzed the changes of bond lengths and equilibrium ionic positions due to mechanical pressure on YBCO and YSCO. Negative pressure causes separation of the YBCO unit cell into Cu(1)-O(1)-O(4) and CuO2-Y-CuO2 blocks, similar to the effect of oxygen reduction in YBCO. We have also found that the nonlinear dependence for ionic positions by mechanical pressure, especially for...
