  • Metallic nanoscale conductors

    Creator:
    Nebergall, Nathan Sky
    Abstract:
    A new, reproducible method of using electromigration to form metallic nano-conductors is developed using gold and a tin-silver alloy. Measurements revealed a quantization of the electrical conductance consistent with the theory of quantum conductance. The theory of quantum conductance is applied to show that a nano-conductor with a cross-section of...

  • 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...
