  • The synthesis, optical, and transport properties of SnZrS₃

    Creator:
    Harada, Daniel Ryan
    Abstract:
    Semiconducting materials which can be ambipolarly doped are highly desirable in many electronics applications, including use as solar cell materials. SnZrS₃ is being investigated for the possibility of ambipolar doping, with potential applications as a solar cell absorber layer. This dissertation covers the synthesis of SnZrS₃ and the related compound...

  • Amorphous multi-component metals as electrode materials

    Creator:
    Cowell, E. William
    Abstract:
    The objective of this thesis is to provide an initial demonstration of two-terminal and three-terminal electronic devices employing amorphous multi-component metallic film (AMMF) electrodes. Such a demonstration is successfully achieved in the fabrication of metal-insulator-metal (MIM) diode and hot electron transistor (HETs) structures employing ZrCuAlNi AMMF electrodes. The ultra-smooth surface...

  • Advances in solid phase synthesis of neutral oligonucleotide analogues

    Creator:
    Wang, Haiyan, 1963-
    Abstract:
    A novel acyl protecting group for cytosine and adenine has been prepared from 4-( chloromethyl) benzoic acid. Reaction of the acid with morpholine produces 4-( 4-morpholinyl )methyl benzoic acid which is converted to it's acid chloride with thionyl chloride. This may be used to acylate cytidine and adenosine under standard...

  • Direct atom transfer vs. ring expansion in reaction of rhenium oxo complexes with cyclooctene epoxides and episulfides

    Creator:
    Khownium, Kriangsak
    Abstract:
    The rhenium (V) complex Tp'ReO₂ (Tp' = hydrido-tris-(3,5- dimethylpyrazolyl)borate), generated in situ from PPh₃ reduction of Tp'Re0₃, reacts with small ring heterocycles such as epoxides and episulf ides. The strained trans-cyclooctene ring provides an unusual thermodynamic bias against direct atom transfer, but trans-cyclooctene oxide still produces substantial amounts of trans-cyclooctene....

  • A seasonal study of sediment reworking by Neotrypaea californiensis in Yaquina Bay, Oregon

    Creator:
    Fritz, Cara E.
    Abstract:
    A year-long field study was undertaken to investigate the influence of a number of physical and biological factors, specifically temperature, organic carbon content, and shrimp population dynamics on sediment reworking rates by the ghost shrimp Neotrypaea calforniensis. Because of its role as a structuring agent in estuaries along the West...

  • Towards Pactive (Passive + Active) Sensing for Security Applications

    Creator:
    Menon, Arya
    Abstract:
    Increasing threats of terrorism and contraband smuggling have led to a growing interest in millimeter wave/ THz security sensors. Recently, systems combining active and passive sensing into one unit have been proposed where the active mode provides information on range and reflectivity, and the passive mode complements the active by...

  • Unique Structural Properties and Motifs of Metal-Oxides from Solids to Clusters

    Creator:
    Malmberg, Christopher E.
    Abstract:
    In this dissertation, the structural properties, thermodynamics and defect behavior of amorphous metal oxides and polyoxometalates are studied. Amorphous metal oxides have many applications, most notably as a semiconducting material used as the active matrix of thin film transistors. Alas, the amorphous nature of these materials makes studying them rather...

  • Designing Dielectric Materials through Complex Metal Oxides

    Creator:
    Nikkel, Jason W.
    Abstract:
    This dissertation demonstrated that the electrical properties of complex oxide-based perovskite materials could be controlled through the careful modification of both material composition and structure. This was first shown through the modification of lead zirconate titanate (Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3, PZT) solid solutions with bismuth indate (BiInO3, BI) where the relative stability of...
