  • Analysis of the mechanism of sulfoxide-lithium exchange and the reactive intermediate in stereospecific reagent-controlled homologation (StReCH)

    Creator:
    Hoyt, Amanda
    Abstract:
    The stereospecific reagent-controlled homologation (StReCH) of boronic esters with enantioenriched carbenoid species generated in situ by the addition of organolithium initiators to stereodefined α-chloroalkyl aryl sulfoxides was previously reported. The reaction of an organolithium with an α-chloroalkyl aryl sulfoxide ostensibly generates an α-chloroalkyllithium via sulfoxide-lithium exchange; however, the true nature...

  • Comprehensive depletion-mode modeling of oxide thin-film transistors

    Creator:
    Zhou, Fan
    Abstract:
    The primary focus of this thesis is modifying the comprehensive depletion-mode model and extending its applicability to p-channel thin-film transistor (TFT) behavior and subthreshold (subpinchoff) operation. The comprehensive depletion-mode model accurately describes depletion-mode TFT behavior and establishes a set of equations, different from those obtained from square-law theory, which can...

  • Computational and experimental investigation of steady flow fields, turbulence, and hemodynamic wall stresses in patient-specific abdominal aortic aneurysm models

    Creator:
    Edgar, Erik S.
    Abstract:
    Steady flow fields and flow-induced wall stresses have been evaluated by experimental measurements and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis in a series of patient-specific abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) models, over a range of Reynolds numbers (Re) from 125 to 3000 (500 to 3000 for CFD). Experimental methods used particle image...

  • Electrical recommendations and formulas for metal fill in radio-frequency integrated circuits

    Creator:
    Gaskill, Steven
    Abstract:
    With increasing transistor operating frequencies, interconnects and passive devices are becoming performance limiters in integrated circuit (IC) designs. To combat this, the interconnect layers above the active silicon are trending toward low-κ dielectrics and Cu metallization. The use of these new materials has popularized chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) to planarize...

  • Evaluation of Stress Corrosion Cracking of 316L Stainless Steel in FLiNaK Using the Slow Strain Rate Technique

    Creator:
    Quintana, Xavier A.
    Abstract:
    Molten salts have been targeted as a promising coolant for next generation reactors due to their high boiling point, heat capacity, and thermal conductivity. Despite these benefits, molten salt systems present unique materials compatibility issues, highlighted by the aggressive corrosion attack and dealloying typically seen on materials in these environments....

  • Freezing of a Weeks-Chandler-Anderson Fluid using Classical Density Functional Theory

    Creator:
    Finster, Kirstie L.
    Abstract:
    We use Classical Density Functional Theory (cDFT) to predict the freezing of a Weeks-Chandler-Anderson (WCA) fluid, and construct pressure-temperature and temperature-density phase diagrams. A WCA fluid consists of soft spheres that exhibit the repulsive portion of the Lennard-Jones potential widely used to model the interaction of two neutral atoms. Our...

  • Investigation of bipolar resistive switching in zinc-tin-oxide for resistive random access memory

    Creator:
    Murali, Santosh
    Abstract:
    Resistive random access memory (RRAM) is a non-volatile memory technology based on resistive switching in a dielectric or semiconductor sandwiched between two different metals. Also known as memristors, these devices are potential candidates for a next-generation replacement for flash memory. In this thesis, bipolar resistive switching is reported for the...

  • Mode patterns in quadrupole resonator with anisotropic core

    Creator:
    Thongrattanasiri, Sukosin
    Abstract:
    This thesis deals with applications of uniaxial anisotropic crystals for microcavity resonators with partially chaotic underlying ray dynamics. We develop an implementation of the scattering matrix formalism, and relate the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the scattering matrix to the field distribution of inside the system. Using the developed technique, we...

  • On-chip crosstalk suppression schemes using magnetic films for RF/microwave applications

    Creator:
    Sligar, Arien
    Abstract:
    The primary objective of the thesis research is to study novel schemes of on-chip crosstalk suppression employing magnetic films at microwave frequencies. Since extraction of various material properties of the magnetic films is essential for successful application of the proposed method, the research also involves development of a new material...

    Almaqwashi, Ali
    Abstract:
    In an effort to develop an optical-acoustical understanding of ultrasound contrast agent microbubble dynamics in a micro-environment that resembles blood vessels, this thesis presents experimental work on optical trapping and acoustical probing of ultrasound contrast agent microbubbles confined in regenerated cellulose capillaries. First, we showed by acoustical means that the...
