  • Structure-property relationships in oxides containing select platinum group metals

    Creator:
    Gatimu, Alvin J.
    Abstract:
    Oxide materials exhibit a wide variety of structures and properties. In particular, transition metal oxides tend to be highly stable while exhibiting a wide range of properties that can be used for numerous applications. This work focuses on investigating how the structures’ of 4d and 5d transition metal oxides influences...

  • Structure-property relationships of layered oxypnictides

    Creator:
    Muir, Sean W.
    Abstract:
    Investigating the structure-property relationships of solid state materials can help improve many of the materials we use each day in life. It can also lead to the discovery of materials with interesting and unforeseen properties. In this work the structure property relationships of newly discovered layered oxypnictide phases are presented...

  • Synthesis and investigation of layered oxides with honeycomb ordering

    Creator:
    Schmidt, Whitney L.
    Abstract:
    Synthesis and discovery lies at the core of every field in chemistry. The investigation of the structure-property relationships in compounds known or new is the fundamental purpose of solid state chemistry. Mixing related solid state compounds to form solid solutions can lead to exciting new and/or unexpected properties. Layered compounds...

  • High resolution spectroscopic studies of ³²S¹⁶O₃ and ³⁴S¹⁶O₃

    Creator:
    Barber, Jeffrey
    Abstract:
    The two sulfur isotopomers of sulfur trioxide, ³²S¹⁶O₃ and ³⁴S¹⁶O₃, have been studied via high resolution infrared and Coherent anti-Stokes Raman (CARS) spectroscopy. The v₁ symmetric SO stretching Q-branches observed by the latter are quite different, being especially complex for ³²S¹⁶O₃ Understanding this band structure required analysis of infrared-active hot...

  • High resolution spectroscopy of sulfur trioxide and carbon suboxide

    Creator:
    Masiello, Tony
    Abstract:
    High resolution spectroscopy was used to study the properties of two simple polyatomic molecules, sulfur trioxide, SO₃, and carbon suboxide, C₃O₂. The fundamental modes and several hot bands of the ¹⁸O isotopic fonns of SO₃ (³²S¹⁸O₃ and ³⁴S¹⁸O₃) have been investigated using both infrared spectroscopy and coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering...

  • Quantitative determination of emerging contaminants, solvent stabilizers and fullerene nanomaterials, in biological and environmental systems

    Creator:
    Isaacson, Carl W.
    Abstract:
    To determine the impact of emerging environmental contaminants on human and environmental health, quantitative analytical methods are required. Analysis of emerging contaminants is hampered by their widely varying physical-chemical properties. Therefore quantitative analytical methods must be developed to determine the behavior of emerging contaminants in environmental systems. A quantitative analytical...

  • Designing Dielectric Materials through Complex Metal Oxides

    Creator:
    Nikkel, Jason W.
    Abstract:
    This dissertation demonstrated that the electrical properties of complex oxide-based perovskite materials could be controlled through the careful modification of both material composition and structure. This was first shown through the modification of lead zirconate titanate (Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3, PZT) solid solutions with bismuth indate (BiInO3, BI) where the relative stability of...

  • The Total Kinetic Energy Release in the Fast Neutron-induced Fission of ²³²Th

    Creator:
    King, Jonathan W.
    Abstract:
    The post-emission total kinetic energy release (TKE) in the neutron induced fission of ²³²Th was measured (using white spectrum neutrons from LANSCE) for neutron energies from En = 3 to 91 MeV. In this energy range the average post-neutron total kinetic energy release decreases from 162.3 ± 0.3 at En...

  • Adapting the Methylene Blue Sulfide Detection Method for Use in a Microfluidic in-situ Monitoring Device

    Creator:
    Monares, Shane W.
    Abstract:
    Sulfide is an important species to measure in environmental water samples. The spectrophotometric detection method for reduced sulfur species (sulfide) based on generation of methylene blue was adapted to work in an apparatus utilizing microfluidic PDMS mixing and observation cells with flow channels in the 100 μm range. The benefits...
