Abstract

The lithium ferrous phosphate carbon composite (LFP/C) cathode material has been successfully synthesized using solid-state reaction method by utilizing one of the natural sources of iron rocks in Tanah Laut, Kalimantan, as the base material of Fe. Solid-state reaction method was done by using high energy ball milling tool. The LFP cathode material was prepared using a base material (Li2CO3), Fe3O4, and (NH4)2HPO4 in a ratio of 3:6:2 and 5% wt. of Citric acid as a carbon source. There were some variations of calcination temperature used under inert conditions at 400 °C, 500 °C, 600 °C, and 700 °C to determine the effect on the phase structure and electrical conductivity produced by LFP/C cathode composites. Characterization of phase structure was done by using X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), while the conductivity value of the sample was tested using Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS). The analysis of the diffraction pattern shows the largest composition of olivine structure formed at 700 °C at 93.3% wt. with Fe2O3 impurities of 6.7% wt. The highest conductivity value of LFP/C is shown by sampling with 500 °C calcination temperature with a total conductivity value of 5,676 x 10-3 S.cm-1.

Abstract

Volume magnetic susceptibility measurements have been widely used in numerous studies related to river sediment characterization. A study of the transport distance effect toward the frequency-dependent volume magnetic susceptibility is needed to identify the superparamagnetic grain behavior in river sediments. The purpose of this study is to identify the presence of superparamagnetic grains and to obtain the relation between transport distances and frequency-dependent volume magnetic susceptibility in river sediments. The sediment samples were taken and measured by using the Bartington MS2B Susceptibilitymeter at two different frequencies of 470 Hz and 4700 Hz. The measurement results show that the sediment transport distance is directly proportional to the frequency-dependent volume magnetic susceptibility. Superparamagnetic grain content is identified to tend to be higher as the distance of sediment transport increases.

Abstract

The study aimed at inquiring how science teachers use question technique in the teaching-learning process. The methodology used in this study was a survey method of quantitative approach. The population is all senior high school Physics teachers in Banda Aceh. The sample is the Physics teachers regarding their length of duty which were 6 teachers from 6 schools. The sampling technique was using disproportionate stratified random sampling based on the schools accreditation. The data collection process was carried out by distributing the questionnaire to teachers and documentation technique by videotaping the learning process. The data were analyzed using a descriptive technique. The results showed that teachers used redirecting technique (70%) and probing technique (45.83%). Next, the teachers experience only impacts the probing technique. A suggestion that can be made in teaching Physics, teachers should ask questions that track and test students understanding toward a concept that they have learned.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the Problem-Based Learning(PBL) model to improve the understanding of electromagnetic induction material in three-phase induction motor. Most of the students attending the Electrical Machine course have low understanding upon the working principles of the three-phase induction motor, in particular the basic theory of the relationship between the electromagnetic field and the three-phase induction motor. This study involved seventeen students of Electrical Engineering Education Study Program of Universitas PGRI Madiun in East Java. Data were collected through observation and tests, with the statistical test of research using paired sample t-test. This quasi-experimentresearch employed one-group pre-test and post-test design. The results showed that the application of PBL model with video simulation and practicesimprove studentsunderstanding of the materials. The learning process by utilizing simulated animation video and the practices of unloading three-phase induction motors directly, the studentsunderstanding of the working principles of three-phase induction motors increases with the average of N-Gain score. These results indicate the use of video and hands-on practice become effective way to deliver complex and abstract material to students. It is also believed that the learning on electromagnetic induction can be carried out more efficiently. Additionally, such learning model is believed to ease physics education.

Abstract

Activated carbon is produced from the coconut shell through physical and chemical activation. The pyrolysis method was employed in this research for physical activation at an optimum temperature of 600oC and 1,000oC, for chemical activation immersed using 10% Na2CO3 activating agent. This research has produced two samples, namely the physical activation of 1,000oC and the physics-chemical activation of Na2CO3. The X-Ray Diffraction (X-RD) spectrum of activated carbon in the samples 1,000oC and Na2CO3 contained silicate minerals, iron ore and quartz, respectively, and it showed the formation of carbon and graphite structures in the hkl (002) and (100) planes. Through Scherrers method, the average size of the Na2CO3 crystals sample is 15.03 nm and the sample crystal sample of 1,000oC is 54.53 nm; the size of the Nano-scale crystals was formed when the temperature increases ≥ 600° C. The X-RD resulted the percentage of elemental content carbon phase volume fraction (Fv) and impurity (I) in the 1,000oC sample of 75.61%, 24.39% and the Na2CO3 sample of 77.87%, 22.13% . These results indicate that the carbon content in chemical activation is much better than the physics activation. SEM results with magnification of 5,000x, it is very clear the porosity formed of the 10 μm picture size are 0.8 μm in Na2CO3 sample and 1.00 μm in 1,000oC sample.

Abstract

Calculation of He atomic energy levels using the first order perturbation theory taught in the Basic Quantum Mechanics course has led to relatively large errors. To improve its accuracy, several methods have been developed but most of them are too complicated to be understood by undergraduate students. The purposes of this study are to apply a simple matrix method in calculating some of the lowest energy levels of He atom (1s2, triplet 1s2s, and singlet 1s2s states) and to reduce errors obtained from calculations using the standard perturbation theory. The convergence of solutions as a function of the number of bases is also examined. The calculation is done analytically for 3 bases and computationally with the number of bases using MATHEMATICA. First, the 2-electron wave function of the Helium atom is written as the multiplication of two He+ ion wave functions, which are then expanded into finite dimension bases. These bases are used to calculate the elements of the Hamiltonian matrix, which are then substituted back to the energy eigenvalue equation to determine the energy values of the system. Based on the calculation results, the error obtained for the He ground state energy using 3 bases is 2.51 %, smaller than the errors of the standard perturbation theory (5.28 %). Despite the fact that the error is still relatively large from the analytical calculations for singlet-triplet 1s2s energy splitting of He atom, this error is successfully reduced significantly as more bases were used in the numerical calculations. In particular, for n = 25, the current calculation error for all states is much smaller than the errors obtained from calculations using standard perturbation theory. In conclusion, the analytical calculations for the energy eigenvalue equation for the 3 lowest states of the Helium atom using 3 bases have been carried out. It was also found in this study that increasing the number of bases in our numerical calculations has significantly reduced the errors obtained from the analytical calculations.

Abstract

West Nusa Tenggara is classified into earthquake prone zone as it is located between subduction and back arc thrust earthquake sources. Accurate hypocenter determination in this area is necessary for strong motion calculation and earthquake source zone modelling. Earthquake relocation in the region is needed to produce a more accurate hypocenter location and 2D modelling of subduction slab and back arc thrust. A double difference method was employed with earthquake data from 2009-2017. The results show better accuracy in the distribution of the travel-time residual. Subduction slab modelling shows a dip value of about 7-13° from a trench to an arc, 49-55° from an arc to a transition zone, and 60-64° dip at a depth of 300 km. Back arc thrust modelling shows a dip value of about 19-28° at a depth of 15-30 km. The results provide a reliable 2D model for subduction slab and back arc thrust in West Nusa Tenggara. Therefore, the developed models can be used as reference for earthquake zones and seismic hazard assessment in West Nusa Tenggara.
