Application and Validation of Geant4 Modeling for Optimization of Complex Structures for Fast Neutron Detection

Creator:: Capps, Jacob W.
Abstract:: Fast neutron detection is important to the detection of illicit nuclear materials and can help prevent those materials from being used or transported without discovery. Previous research has shown that Heavy Oxide Inorganic Scintillator crystals can be used to detect fast neutrons by capitalizing on their high inelastic scattering cross...

CoLocalized Excitation Emission Resolution : A CLEER approach for multicolor fluorescence analysis

Creator:: Almlie, C. Kyle
Abstract:: Fluorescence has proven to be a robust and powerful method of analysis in numerous fields: forensics, pharmaceutics, geology, food science, and environmental sciences have all developed a large collection of fluorescence instruments and methods to overcome application-specific challenges. Biological applications saw the same development of a fluorescence toolkit with methods...

Thermally-stable amorphous metal thin films

Creator:: McGlone, John M.
Abstract:: Amorphous metal thin films (AMTFs) are of potential use for metal-insulator-metal (MIM) tunnel diode applications due to their ultra-smooth surfaces, a consequence of their amorphous microstructure. The objective of this thesis is to design a thermally-stable AMTF capable of maintaining MIM tunnel diode performance after a post-deposition anneal in excess...

Development of Amorphous Metal Thin Films for Thermal Inkjet Printing and Microelectronics

Creator:: McGlone, John M.
Abstract:: Due to a lack of grain boundaries, an amorphous metal thin film (AMTF) possesses advantageous mechanical properties and enhanced chemical stability that is potentially useful for thermal inkjet (TIJ) printing applications. The use of an AMTF as a TIJ resistor or cavitation plate could lead to a thinner TIJ cavitation...

Electronic and Optical Properties of Defects in Amorphous Oxide and Transition Metal Dichalcogenide Semiconductors

Creator:: Vogt, Kyle
Abstract:: The optical and electronic properties of amorphous oxide thin films depend crucially on chemical composition, and deposition process variations which give rise to sub-gap defect states. Consequently, there is a need for a reliable, high-throughput method to extract sub-gap defect densities of states in amorphous oxide thin films. We present...

Influence of processing parameters on diffusion of divalent nickel in wet silica sol-gel monoliths

Creator:: Dickson, David J.
Abstract:: The diffusion of divalent nickel (Ni²⁺) from wet silica gels was investigated. Silica gel is gaining interest as an encapsulation matrix for biological components. The transport of biologically relevant species within the gel is determined by the structural characteristics of the gel, which are in turn governed by synthesis parameters....

Monte Carlo studies of classical Heisenberg spins on face-centered-cubic lattices : effects of strain, interlayer coupling, and dilution of lattice

Creator:: Park, Seongweon
Abstract:: This thesis presents the results from Monte Carlo calculations on classical vector spins in face-centered-cubic (FCC) lattices. The goal of the study was to understand the effect of interlayer coupling, dilution of magnetic atoms in the lattice, and symmetry-changing strain. Experimental work by T. M. Giebultowicz et al. and J....

Terahertz imaging and spectroscopy of carbon-based and semiconductor nanostructures

Creator:: Tomaino, Joseph L.
Abstract:: This thesis will cover work that I have completed relating to the field of terahertz (THz) science. My work has consisted of generating tunable, narrowband THz pulses in a table-top optical setup and using both narrow- and broadband THz pulses to study various material systems. Broadband THz pulses were used...

Cis-2,5-diaminobicyclo[2.2.2]octane : a novel C₂-symmetric scaffold for asymmetric catalysis

Creator:: Shaw, Subrata
Abstract:: This thesis describes the development of a new enantioselective synthetic method employing chiral cis-2,5-diaminobicyclo[2.2.2]octane-based organometallic catalysts. The significance of this new method to organic synthesis is illustrated with preparation of enantioenriched products that are transformed to important pharmaceutical agents. Chapter 1 provides a brief historical overview of asymmetric catalysis, especially...

Total synthesis of sparteine alkaloids from a common tetraoxobispidine intermediate

Creator:: Melbardis, John
Abstract:: In previous work (Blakemore et al. Org. Lett. 2005, 7, 4721; Heterocycles 2006, 70, 609), successful elaborations of the lupine alkaloids (±)-α-isosparteine (dl-2) and (±)-β-isosparteine (dl-3) were realized from a common tetraoxobispidine precursor, 3,7-diallyl -2,4,6,8-tetraoxo-3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane (93). Herein, the tetraoxobispidine approach to lupine alkaloids was extended to a total synthesis of...
