  • Precursor Chemistry and Film Structure and Properties via Solution Deposition

    Creator:
    Huang, Yu
    Abstract:
    Chemistry of preparing dense film from solution deposition is explored with several cases in this thesis. Surface dense structure, conversion at melting point, and ion exchange in aqueous solution are the main topics covered here for the thin films of aluminum oxide phosphate and tin dioxide. Thin film density, optical...

  • 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...

  • Characterization and Investigations of Thin-Film Materials with X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy

    Creator:
    Diulus, J. Trey
    Abstract:
    Surface characterization of materials is widely utilized over a range of disciplines and essential to the development of new materials, technology, or processes. Metal oxide nanoclusters have shown promise as potential new generation photoresist materials for extreme ultraviolet (EUV) nanolithography. Organotin clusters have been proposed as potential candidates for resist...

  • New Graphite Intercalation Chemistry with Alkaline Earth Metals

    Creator:
    Xu, Wei
    Abstract:
    Novel graphite intercalation compounds (GICs) and associated chemistry have been explored, specifically: (1) containing alkyl- substituted imidazolium cations; (2) a series containing alkaline earth metal (Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba) cations with ethylenediamine (en) co-intercalates; (3) showing reversible intragallery M-M bonding and (4) via electrochemical intercalation of Mg cations with potential...

  • 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,...
