Oxidation of Amorphous Metal Alloy Surfaces Studied Using Ambient Pressure X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy

Creator:: Alzaga Elizondo, Pedro
Abstract:: Amorphous metal thin films (AMTFs) are of growing interest due to their unique mechanical properties and chemical stability. AMTFs have an advantage over polycrystalline metal films due to the lack of grain boundaries which gives AMTFs added durability and relatively smoother surfaces. For this reason, AMTFs have been investigated as...

Characterization and Investigations of Thin-Film Materials with X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy

Creator:: Diulus, J. Trey
Abstract:: Surface characterization of materials is widely utilized over a range of disciplines and essential to the development of new materials, technology, or processes. Metal oxide nanoclusters have shown promise as potential new generation photoresist materials for extreme ultraviolet (EUV) nanolithography. Organotin clusters have been proposed as potential candidates for resist...

Solution-based deposition of functional thin films : development of a glucose biosensor and thermal processing of CZTS nanoparticle films

Creator:: Durgan, Christopher J.
Abstract:: The development of solution-based methods for deposition of different thin film material is presented as an alternative to high cost vacuum-based methods. For certain materials, vacuum techniques are unsuitable for processing. Additionally, vacuum-based processes present high capital costs associated with equipment, and slow processing times. Atmospheric pressure solution based techniques...

Functional materials for advanced energy and electronic devices

Creator:: Flynn, Brendan T.
Abstract:: Advances in energy technologies and electronics have typically occurred through either heightened performance or cost reduction. This dissertation explores both routes through a series of fundamental material studies that may contribute to the enabling of next generation devices. Solution based syntheses and deposition of chemical products offer a low cost...

Metal Oxide Cluster Chemistries for Next Generation Nanomanufacturing

Creator:: Frederick, Ryan T.
Abstract:: Metal oxide clusters are promising inorganic photoresists in next generation nanomanufacturing because of their potential for high-resolution and low line-edge roughness patterning, and exceptional sensitivity to extreme ultraviolet (EUV) radiation. In EUV patterning, absorption of EUV radiation leads to electron emission that serve as a primary species for driving radiation...

Solution-based nanomaterials and thin films for next generation electronics

Creator:: Oleksak, Richard P.
Abstract:: Nanomaterials are expected to enable significant advances in several technological fields in coming years. Among them, electronics has emerged as one of the most likely benefactors from the ability to control matter on the nanometer-scale. For many electronic devices synthesized nanomaterials must be integrated into thin film structures. Vapor-based deposition...

Investigation of oxide semiconductor based thin films : deposition, characterization, functionalization, and electronic applications

Creator:: Rajachidambaram, Meena Suhanya
Abstract:: Nanostructured ZnO films were obtained via thermal oxidation of thin films formed with metallic Zn-nanoparticle dispersions. Commercial zinc nanoparticles used for this work were characterized by microscopic and thermal analysis methods to analyze the Zn-ZnO core shell structure, surface morphology and oxidation characteristics. These dispersions were spin-coated on SiO₂/Si substrates...

Silicon and germanium uptake and cell growth by the marine diatom Nitzschia frustulum

Creator:: Jeffryes, Clayton S.
Abstract:: Diatoms are single celled algae that form cell walls made primarily of silicon dioxide (SO₂). The metabolic machinery that gives diatoms the ability to biogenically form highly ordered solid silica from soluble silicon extracted from their external environment provides a unique platform to create novel nanostructured materials inexpensively and with...

Biological insertion of nanostructured germanium and titanium oxides into diatom biosilica

Creator:: Jeffryes, Clayton S.
Abstract:: There is significant interest in titanium oxide and germanium-silicon oxide nanocomposites for optoelectronic, photocatalytic, and solar cell applications. The ability of the marine diatom Pinnularia sp. to uptake soluble metal oxides from cell culture medium, and incorporate them into the micro- and nano-structure of their amorphous silica cell walls, called...

Temperature and infiltration characterization of a constructed wetland for wastewater treatment

Creator:: Gregory, Christopher T.
Abstract:: The City of Woodburn, Oregon's Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) has been investigating several natural alternatives for improving effluent quality. Based on its current National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit, the WWTP will require additional reduction of temperature and ammonia levels in the summer, especially in the critical month of...
