  • Zero kinetic energy photoelectron spectroscopy of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons

    Creator:
    Zhang, Jie
    Abstract:
    In this dissertation, I present electronic spectra of a few polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs): tetracene, pentacene, pyrene, benzo[g,h,i]perylene and benzo[a]pyrene using resonantly enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI) and zero kinetic energy (ZEKE) photoelectron spectroscopy. The work of tetracene and pentacene also combine a laser desorption source with a ZEKE spectrometer, demonstrating...

  • Quantum dot plasmon coupling : Fundamental study and applications

    Creator:
    Kannegulla, Akash
    Abstract:
    The dissertation focuses on the engineering of light-matter interaction using plasmonic nanoparticles and metamaterials to achieve enhanced luminescence and based on which to improve the performance of biosensing and light-emitting technologies. We designed and fabricated a spectrum of nanostructures to exhibit particular dispersion relations capable of controlling the spontaneous emission...

  • Photoluminescence properties investigation of germanium inserted biosilica generated by bioreactor culture of marine diatom Nitzschia frustulum

    Creator:
    Qin, Tian
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this research was to investigate the optoelectronic properties of the Ge doped biosilica, mainly focused on the photoluminescence (PL) properties of diatom frustules of N. frustulum that contain metabolically inserted germanium oxide produced by a two-stage photobioreactor cultivation process. In order to explain the observed PL intensity...

  • Transition Metal Oxides for Aqueous Electrochemical Energy Storage

    Creator:
    Jiang, Heng
    Abstract:
    In the 21st century, environmental deterioration is now an indisputable fact. Reliable and economically viable electricity systems based on renewable sources are urgently needed to replace the environmentally detrimental fossil fuels. The feasibility of incorporating renewable-but-intermittent solar and wind energy heavily depends on the development of cost-effective and safe technologies,...

  • Synthesis of Intercalation Compounds and Nanocomposites of Inorganic Layered Hosts

    Creator:
    Liyanage, Medagama Liyanage Amila Udayanga
    Abstract:
    Novel synthetic strategies are developed to prepare new intercalation compounds and nanocomposites with several layered hosts (NiPS₃, Na-montmorillonite, MoS₂ and MoO₃). In these products, alkali metals are ionic intercalates and linear polymers, dendrimers or amines act as co-intercalates. In addition to new synthetic approaches, new structures are identified and characterized....

  • 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...

  • Formation of hybrid supramolecular assemblies using biological molecules and transition metals

    Creator:
    Smith, Rachelle M. S.
    Abstract:
    Naturally occurring assemblies, such as DNA and proteins, utilize intermolecular forces (i.e H-bonding and van der Waals) to assemble. Utilizing these electrostatic interactions has only just started in the past five decades to be a tool used in synthetic chemistry in what is known as supramolecular chemistry. Supramolecular chemistry has...

  • Micro total analysis system for in-situ and autonomous spectrophotometric monitoring of iron in groundwater

    Creator:
    Koch, Corey R.
    Abstract:
    We have developed a compact micro total analysis system (μTAS) to serve as a platform for in-situ spectrophotometric water quality monitoring. Individual fluidic, optical, and electrical components were designed, developed, and characterized. These components were combined in both an integrated (single lithographic “chip-based” platform) and a modular manner. The microfluidic...

  • Fabrication and application of polymer based microfluidic devices

    Creator:
    Koesdjojo, Myra T.
    Abstract:
    The concept of reducing laboratory operations in scale such that they fit on a microfluidic chip has been met with great enthusiasm. Lab-on-a-chip devices promise to be cost effective to operate due to reduced reagent consumption, have the potential to offer shorter analysis times due to their short path lengths,...

    Ghayoor Baghbani, Seyyed Milad
    Abstract:
    Having a series of excellent properties, the oxide dispersion-strengthened (ODS) steels provide promising solutions for the challenges of structural materials in nuclear energy, especially the development of future advanced nuclear fission and even fusion reactors. The current manufacturing route for ODS alloys includes mechanical alloying (MA) of master alloys or...
