  • Modeling, Fabrication, and Characterization of Magnetic Thin Films for Integrated Inductor and MRAM Applications

    Creator:
    Buford, Benjamin
    Abstract:
    Magnetic thin films have potential to improve devices such as on-chip inductors, and enable new technologies such as magnetic random access memory (MRAM). The use of magnetic cores in on-chip inductors is typically limited to applications well under 1 GHz. At higher frequencies, the performance of the magnetic core is...

  • Determination of magnetoelastic parameters in magnetic thin films from FMR spectra

    Creator:
    Masood, Khalid I.
    Abstract:
    The ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) phenomenon serves as a sensitive probe of the effective internal fields in a magnetic material. FMR spectroscopy has consequently become a well-established technique, extensively employed in assessing material properties such as magnetic anisotropy, Landé g-factor, damping parameter, and the magnetoelastic constants of magnetic materials. Determining these...

  • Soft Magnetic Composites for High Frequency Applications

    Creator:
    Song, Han
    Abstract:
    Soft magnetic composites, consisting of fine metallic particles in a non-magnetic, insulating matrix, have great potential for integrated inductor and antenna applications. The dielectric and magnetic properties of soft magnetic composites can be tailored by the choice of matrix as well as particle composition, size, and concentration for reduction in...

  • Modeling spintronics devices in Verilog-A for use with industry-standard simulation tools

    Creator:
    Engelbrecht, Linda M.
    Abstract:
    As the semiconductor industry works to integrate increasingly more "non-CMOS" devices onto CMOS ICs, compact model development has become an important step in the circuit/system verification tool flow. This research focuses on the two- and three-dimensional modeling of the physical phenomena that occur in nanoscale magnetic devices. This includes the...

  • A study of the dynamics and rheology of passive and active suspensions of particles with various geometries

    Creator:
    Tan, Mingyang
    Abstract:
    Suspensions of particles in fluids are everywhere in our life, such as paints, pharmacies, food, etc. Suspensions can exhibit properties that common fluids do not possess. For example, the paint needs to flow well when brushing so that it can be smeared on the wall, which is aided by the...

  • A Framework for Evaluating the Comprehensiveness of Continuous Improvement in Academic Computing Programs. A 360-Degree View of the Continuous Improvement Efforts in a Large School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science

    Creator:
    Azzouni, Abdullah
    Abstract:
    Continuous Improvement (CI) of academic computing programs is a main requirement of accreditation. Academic computing programs must have a well-documented CI plan in order to be granted accreditation. Based on the existing literature, we developed a comprehensive CI (or 360-CI) model consisting of 8 components: course, curriculum, administration, faculty, research,...

  • Acoustically Assisted Magnetic Recording

    Creator:
    Li, Weiyang
    Abstract:
    In the past few decades, magnetic recording has been used as a dominant solution for massive data storage due to its large capacity, excellent reliability and low cost. Nowadays, exponentially increasing user-generated information is creating a huge demand as well as great challenges for high density data storage solutions. For...

  • Parametric Pumping of Spin Waves Using Acoustic Waves

    Creator:
    Chowdhury, Pratim
    Abstract:
    Spintronics is an emerging field of research wherein the electron spin instead of, or along with, the conventional electron charge may be utilized in developing next generation logic devices. One of the most promising aspects of spintronics is that information transfer may be achieved by spin waves in logic devices,...

  • Design techniques for low-power multi-GS/s analog-to-digital converters

    Creator:
    Jiang, Tao
    Abstract:
    Ultra-high-speed (>10GS/s), medium-resolution (5~6bit), low-power (<50mW) analog-to-digital converter can find it application in the areas of digital oscilloscopes and next-generation serial link receivers. There are several challenges to enable a successful design, however. First, the time-interleaved architecture is required in order to achieve over 10GS/s sampling rate, with the trade-off...

  • A dual-path 2-0 MASH ADC with dual digital error correction

    Creator:
    Zhang, Zhenyong
    Abstract:
    This dissertation presents a dual-path 2-0 MASH (Multi-stAge-noise -SHaping) ADC with two verified digital corrections of DAC mismatch error and quantization noise leakage. By using these two techniques, the requirements for the analog circuits are greatly relaxed. The dual-path structure generates two outputs, one only composed of conversion errors, the...
