Expediting the Generation and Analysis of Amorphous Oxide Computational Models: Modeling Complex Systems Swiftly

Creator:

Buchanan, Jacob C.

Abstract:

In this dissertation, the process of computational modeling of amorphous oxide materials is studied. Amorphous oxides have random atomic arrangements with no long-range structural order which makes it difficult to study structure-property relationships. Despite the difficulties, amorphous oxides have great uses as semiconductors and dielectrics in thin-film transistors. The ability...

Platinum Nanoparticles in Transition Alumina: An Atomic Resolution Study of Interfaces

Creator:

Clauser, Arielle L.

Abstract:

The phases of transition alumina are scientifically interesting due to their high specific surface area, favorable acid/ base characteristics, and chemical and hydrothermal stability which make this metallic oxide a prime candidate for use as a support for metallic nanoparticles (NPs) in heterocatalysis. Interactions at alumina/Pt interfaces are important for...
