Creator:: DeBlander, Evan F.
Abstract:: Thin films of the p-type semiconductor, barium copper sulfide fluoride (BaCuSF) were deposited using pulsed laser deposition. Similar p-type conductivity in Cu2O is caused by copper vacancies. Addition of copper dopant is proposed as a method for filling the copper vacancies in BaCuSF. The films are characterized to determine quality...

Creator:: Joyer, Michael J.
Abstract:: One method of fabricating intermetallic nickel-aluminum MECS devices involves diffusion bonding together pre-patterned elemental foils of nickel and aluminum. This process shows good potential for the mass-production of NiAl devices, but several quality issues remain. Of large concern is the deformation of internal features during the bonding process. This research...

Creator:: van de Lindt, Jacob
Abstract:: Nuclear fusion has the potential to meet the energy needs of our civilization for centuries to come and does not produce harmful greenhouse gasses or produce long-lasting radioactive waste. A fusion reaction can be readily demonstrated in a confinement scheme known as inertial electrostatic confinement (IEC) fusion. In this work,...

Creator:: Shear, Colin David
Abstract:: Pulsed laser deposition was used to create 0.1-Bi(Zn₀.₅ Ti₀.₅)O₃-0.9-BaTiO₃ (BZT-BT) thin films to examine the effects of laser energy (2.25 or 2.5 J/cm²) , pulse frequency (2 Hz or 5 Hz), and deposition temperature (550, 600, 650, and 700°C) on the electrical properties of the films. These effects were analyzed...

Creator:: Peters, Evan
Abstract:: Understanding how particles behave in detectors is a critical part of analyzing data from neutrino experiments. There are methods in place to track charged particles in scintillator material, but neutral particles such as neutrons are more difficult to characterize. The purpose of this project was to assess and calibrate methods...

Creator:: Rodriguez, Jesse A.
Abstract:: The fundamental physics of turbulence in plasma is not well understood. Recent studies of the plasma deflagration accelerator in the High Temperature Gasdynamics Lab at Stanford University have demonstrated the presence of small scale instabilities that limit the lifetime of the jet/Z pinch and are not reproduced by coaxial plasma...
