  • Polarization Dependent Spectral Analysis Reveals Dipole Alignment and Intermolecular Coupling in Anthradithiophene Organic Semiconducting Crystals

    Creator:
    Lam, Andrew
    Abstract:
    Organic photovoltaics are being explored as the next generation material for semiconducting and optoelectronic devices but are limited by their stability and efficiency. One new candidate is crystallized Anthradithiophene (ADT), which is a promising photo-voltaic material due to its high quantum yield and adjustable side groups. The side derivatives TES-F,...

  • Prototyping of Thermoelectric Energy Harvesting Circuitry for IoT Devices

    Creator:
    Webb, Derek
    Abstract:
    Due to the advancement of incredibly low power microcontrollers and small form factor integrated circuits, energy harvesting can be considered as an alternative, low power source for remote ocean sensing and measurements. To demonstrate the effectiveness of harvesting thermoelectric energy contained in the temperature differential between ocean surface water and...

  • Crystal Morphology and Dimensionality Determine the Electronic Response in Novel Semiconducting Materials

    Creator:
    Grimm, Sam
    Abstract:
    Crystal morphology and dimensionality of single-crystal semiconducting materials can have dramatic effects on the optical and electrical properties. Organic photovoltaic (OPV) materials and fluorinated graphene folds are two materials that show these dependencies. Anthradithiophene (ADT), is an OPV that can be functionalized with different side groups to form different crystal...

  • Characterization of Mitochondrial Metabolism in L6 Rat Myoblasts

    Creator:
    Burney, Emily R.
    Abstract:
    The prevalence of obesity is increasing worldwide, causing a subsequent increase in insulin resistance (IR), metabolic disorders, and cardiovascular diseases. Although these conditions significantly impact both the individual and society, their etiologies have not been discovered, inhibiting potential prevention and treatment. Alterations to mitochondrial metabolism are implicated in the development...

  • Evaluating TEG Energy Harvesting Capabilities Across Naturally Occurring Temperature Gradients

    Creator:
    Estenson, Alyssa H.
    Abstract:
    Thermoelectric generators (TEGs) have gained much popularity in the search for alternatives to clean sources to harvest energy. Given their capability to harness an electric potential given a temperature differential across their opposing faces, and the foreseeable prevalence of naturally and/or commonly occurring temperature gradients in multiple applications, TEGs are...

  • Survival by Suicide: Motivation of Suicide Operations in the Middle East

    Creator:
    Schoen, Christopher M.
    Abstract:
    Suicide attacks are a prevalent topic in modern international media. The devastation in the United States caused by suicide tactics on September 11, 2001 encouraged the development of counter-terrorism policies that could provide effective security and reduce the worldwide sense of vulnerability. The necessity for international collaboration on research regarding...

  • Rapid Prototyping of Rigid & Flexible Microfluidic Devices Using Low-Cost Materials and Maker Tools

    Creator:
    Co, Megan T.
    Abstract:
    Microfluidics is an evolving field that focuses on the manipulation of small fluid volumes. Because of its micron-sized features, it is the basis for many lab-on-chip and point-of-care diagnostic devices. The devices are predominantly molded from polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS); however, production is a multi-hour or multi-day process that typically requires clean...
