  • Direct patterning of solution deposited metal oxides

    Creator:
    Stowers, Jason K.
    Abstract:
    Patterning of metal oxides typically involves a multi step process, involving depositing a resist, patterning that resist with some form of lithography, etching the oxide through the resist, and finally removing. This process can be simplified if the resist is removed and replaced with a metal oxide that can be...

  • Cation Substitution Effects in Complex Transition Metal Oxides

    Creator:
    Duell, Brett A.
    Abstract:
    Understanding structural evolution in solids as composition changes is essential to materials properties prediction. Such structure-properties relationships are the theme of solid state chemistry. Materials scientists and chemists have utilized an abundance of simple crystal structures to enhance understanding of chemical and structural origins of properties in materials for decades....

  • Structure-property Relationships of Transition Metal Oxides Containing Precious Metals

    Creator:
    Hapuraja Pathirannehelage, Vidhara H. P.
    Abstract:
    This dissertation presents a study of structure-property relationships within 3d/4d metal oxides containing precious metals through detailed structure refinements using high-resolution neutron and X-ray diffraction data along with exploration of the resultant properties. Oxides of 4d or 5d transition metals tend to show new topological phases due to significant spin-orbit...

  • Aqueous chemistries for oxide electronics

    Creator:
    Meyers, Stephen T.
    Abstract:
    The variegated aqueous chemistries of metal cations are applied to the design and synthesis of non-toxic solution precursors suitable for additive printing of large-area oxide electronics. Polycondensation behaviors of aqueous Al+3 and PO4 +3 are manipulated in the deposition of atomically smooth amorphous aluminum oxide phosphate (AlPO) dielectric films. AlPO...

  • 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...

  • Studies toward the total synthesis of azaspiracid-1

    Creator:
    Kuiper, Damien L.
    Abstract:
    Azaspiracid has generated an enormous amount of scientific interest in the fourteen years since its initial discovery. The structure contains a 6,5,6 bis-spiroketal, a [3.3.1] bicyclic ketal and a 6,5-spiroaminal linkage as key moieties. With 9 rings, 20 stereocenters and three alkenes, the azaspiracid immediately attracted the interest of the...

  • Synthesis and characterization of aluminum oxide based materials - from molecule to device

    Creator:
    Wang, Wei
    Abstract:
    A scalable synthesis of the "flat" tridecameric inorganic cluster [Al₁₃(μ₃-OH)₆(μ-OH)₁₈(H₂O)₂₄]¹⁵⁺ has been realized by treating an aqueous aluminum nitrate solution with zinc-metal powder at room temperature. Single crystals and polycrystalline samples are readily obtained in yields exceeding 55% relative to the starting reagent Al(NO₃)₃. Products have been characterized by X-ray...

  • Human platelet adhesion to heparinized silica surfaces

    Creator:
    Bolsinger, Travis Samuel Sebastian
    Abstract:
    Heparin was modified and immobilized to surface-activated silica surfaces using two different reaction schemes. End-aminated heparin was reacted with 2-iminothiolane to produce free thiol groups at the terminal ends of the heparin chains. The end-thiolated heparin was immobilized by reaction with a pyridyl disulfide activated poly[ethylene oxide]-poly[propylene oxide]-poly[ethylene oxide] triblock...

    Creator:
    AuYeung, Nicholas J.
    Abstract:
    Thermochemical water splitting cycles have been conceptualized and researched for over half a century, yet to this day none are commercially viable. The heavily studied Sulfur-Iodine cycle has been stalled in the early development stage due to a difficult HI-H₂O separation step and material compatibility issues. In an effort to...
