to this research I want to take a moment to extend my gratitude to the involved The first, I would like to express my sincerest thanks to my supervisor, Prof Pham Thanh Huy, excellence and estimable teacher, for all of his supports His dedication to science has been encouraging me so much, protected me from the confusion since I started studying and researching at the Advanced Institute for Science Technology (AIST) This dissertation was carried out at AIST, together with several research groups researches I had garnered variable information from these seminars with free discussions coming from all of our group members Possibly just as important as the practical aid was the friendly, cooperative atmosphere at AIST; it made me enjoy virtually every second of working on my dissertation I wish to thank Associate prof Dao Xuan Viet; Dr Nguyen Tu; Dr Nguyen Duy Hung, and all of my teammates for their friendships with kind-hearts and unconditional assistance The last few months weren’t easy, and I want to thank all my dearest friends, who helped me get back on track when I lost my laptop and found many difficulties in life Without your care, understanding, and motivational speeches, this thesis would no doubt look different and not for the better Your friendship makes me realize what a lucky person I am For the last, more than I can say, I would like to express manifest thanks to my husband and two children for always being by my side, putting their truth in me during my duration at AIST Lastly, I want to mention my father, mother, my parents-in-law, and two sisters, and thank them for making me the person that I have become Le Thi Thao Vien ii CONTENTS LIST OF FIGURES viii LIST OF TABLES xiv BRIEF INTRODUCTION Chapter INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background
