Synthesis and Solution Behavior of Tetravalent Metal Clusters with Ammonium Counterions

Creator:

Brown, Jessica C.

Abstract:

Global interest in reducing carbon emissions by use of alternative energy sources makes nuclear energy production and the impacts of the nuclear energy cycle relevant. Studying the aqueous speciation of tetravalent metals commonly used for nuclear energy (uranium, thorium, plutonium) can inform us of general metal properties and their behavior...

Thin-Film Dielectric Structure of Spin-Coated ZrO2 from Aqueous Inorganic Solution

Creator:

Moreno Luna, Hidekel A.

Abstract:

An inorganic aqueous precursor for the deposition of ZrO2 thin films via spincoating was developed. Hydrolysis and condensation chemistries of ZrOCl₂·8H₂O were used as the principal reactions to guide the synthesis. Refractive index, n, for a film annealed at 300 °C at 550 nm was measured to be n=1.97 by...
