  • Development of oxide semiconductors : materials, devices, and integration

    Creator:
    Chiang, Hai Q.
    Abstract:
    The aim of this dissertation is to develop oxide semiconductors by radio-frequency sputtering for thin-film transistor (TFT) applications. A variety of oxide semiconductors are used as the TFT channel layer, including indium gallium oxide (IGO), zinc tin oxide (ZTO), and indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO). The variety of materials used...

  • Generation and manipulation of THz waves

    Creator:
    Amer, Naaman
    Abstract:
    In this thesis I studied several THz components that can be used for potential THz technology. THz waves were generated in nonlinear medium via optical rectification of femtosecond optical pulses. Utilizing the phase matching condition between the optical and THz waves in a ZnTe crystal, single-cycle broad-band THz pulses were...

  • Synthesis and function of bioactive, block copolymer surfactant constructs as relevant to the preparation of anticoagulant and antibacterial medical implant surfaces.

    Creator:
    Joshi, Pranav R.
    Abstract:
    Nisin, an antibacterial peptide proven to be an effective inhibitor of Gram-positive bacteria, was incorporated into novel block copolymer constructs and tested for retained antibacterial activity. Covalent coupling was achieved by chemical modification of the N-terminal isoleucine to introduce a thiol group. Thiolated nisin derivatives were then linked to poly[ethylene...

  • Generation of narrowband THz pulses and THz studies of ultrafast phenomena in semiconductor quantum wells

    Creator:
    Danielson, Jeremy R.
    Abstract:
    This work comprises two main parts: creating and shaping narrowband, pulsed THz radiation in a table-top optical setup; and applying THz pulses to semiconductor nanostructures to study electron dynamics. I developed a scheme to shape the THz output of a fanned-out periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) crystal. The pulses are...
