  • Investigations of two chemical systems relevant to pyroprocessing used nuclear fuel

    Creator:
    Hames, Amber
    Abstract:
    Pyroprocessing is an advanced technology for recycling used nuclear fuel. Pyrochemical processes encompass a wide range of chemical, physical, and electrochemical methods to partition fission products and other components from used nuclear fuel, which allows for the reuse of the actinides in nuclear fuel. This dissertation investigates two chemical systems...

  • Investigation of the structural influence on the properties of functional inorganic oxides

    Creator:
    Laurita-Plankis, Geneva
    Abstract:
    While properties are extremely important from an application point of view, it is crucial to have a detailed understanding of the underlying structural influence. Once a concrete correlation between the structure and the observed property is established, rational design of novel materials with optimized properties can be realized. These optimized...

  • The Local Structure of Functional Electroceramics

    Creator:
    Culbertson, Charles M.
    Abstract:
    This work investigates the relationship between the local structure and physical properties of a set of classical (MgTiO3, CaTiO3, SrTiO3, and BaTiO3) and complex ((1-x)Ba(Zr0.2Ti0.8)O3-x(Ba0.7Ca0.3)TiO3[BZT-BCT], Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3 [NBT]) perovskite electroceramics. The materials in this work were synthesized via standard solid state ceramic synthesis, the structure was investigated through a number of...

  • The chemistry and device applications of amorphous thin-film interfaces

    Creator:
    Knutson, Christopher C.
    Abstract:
    Solid-state amorphous materials show amazing promise in thin-film electronics. The interface-to-bulk ratio of thin films makes interfacial chemistries of these systems of utmost importance. Thin films of amorphous metals, dielectrics and semiconductors have novel chemistries that are not only based upon their elemental constituent makeup, but also based upon the...

  • Synthesis and investigation of layered oxides with honeycomb ordering

    Creator:
    Schmidt, Whitney L.
    Abstract:
    Synthesis and discovery lies at the core of every field in chemistry. The investigation of the structure-property relationships in compounds known or new is the fundamental purpose of solid state chemistry. Mixing related solid state compounds to form solid solutions can lead to exciting new and/or unexpected properties. Layered compounds...

  • Synthesis and study of oxides and chalcogenides : thin films and crystals

    Creator:
    Park, Sangmoon
    Abstract:
    Several types of solid-state inorganic materials are prepared and characterized. By using the SILAR (Successive Ionic Layer Adsorption and Reaction) deposition method in conjunction with hydrothermal dehydration both low-temperature deposition and crystallization of oxide thin films are achieved. Various aspects of new transparent p-type materials are studied by examining both...
