  • Assessment of Barrier Heights between ZrCuAlNi Amorphous Metal and SiO₂, Al₂O₃, HfO₂, and ZrO₂ using Internal Photoemission Spectroscopy

    Creator:
    Klarr, Tyler D.
    Abstract:
    As scaling of silicon (Si) based devices approaches fundamental limits, thin film metal-insulator-metal (MIM) tunnel diodes are attracting interest due to their potential for high speed operation. Because operation of these devices is based on tunneling, electrode / interfacial roughness is critical. Recently, it was shown that combining ultra-smooth bottom...

  • Characterization of Oxide Growth of Aluminum Alloy 6061 for Nuclear Research and Test Reactors

    Creator:
    Wei, Youran
    Abstract:
    Oxide growth is a common phenomenon on aluminum alloy cladding surfaces in nuclear research and test reactors. Without better understanding of oxide growth, excessive oxide build up on the cladding surface reduces heat transfer capability from fuel to coolant and causes safety concerns due to the potential cladding rupture or...

  • Processing of nanoscale materials

    Creator:
    Hostetler, Eric B.
    Abstract:
    The motivation for undertaking this research was to increase the understanding of processing colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals and thin films metallic glasses to enable their wider application in future devices. This research covered two unique materials, lead selenide (PbSe) nanocrystals and thin film metallic glass alloy of zirconium copper aluminum nickel...
