  • Selective self-assembly of biogenic silica assisted by layer-by-layer deposition and inkjet printing

    Creator:
    Wang, Wei
    Abstract:
    Nature is an inspirational source of silica structures that possess unique optical properties. A few classes of organisms fabricate metal oxides with nanoscale features by a bottom-up self assembly process. In particular, diatoms are a prolific class of single-celled algae that possess silica shells or “frustules” with intricate submicron scale...

  • Characterization of CoGe Thin Films and Powders

    Creator:
    Pfau, Andrew James
    Abstract:
    Cobalt germanides have been widely studied as semiconductor contact materials, but recent theoretical studies suggest that they may also be excellent catalysts for methane steam reforming with stabilities and activities comparable to noble metal catalysts. In order to study the catalytic activity of cobalt germanides, it is critical to first...

  • 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...

  • Synthesis and characterization of Pb(Zr,Ti)O₃ thin films for microelectromechanical systems

    Creator:
    Brookshire, Kirsten L.
    Abstract:
    Pb(Zr,Ti)O₃ (PZT) is a very attractive material for use in piezoelectric-based microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) due to its high piezoelectric coefficients and ability for large displacements with relatively low applied fields (as compared to electrostatic-based MEMS). The piezoelectric effect is strongly anisotropic, thus it is very desirable to control the crystallographic...

  • Fabrication of a flexible glucose sensing catheter for human implantation

    Creator:
    Matthews, David J.
    Abstract:
    Flexible electronics processing techniques were applied to integrate a glucose sensor with a hormone-delivery catheter in order to create a cheap and minimally invasive method for patients with type 1 diabetes to continually monitor and control their blood sugar levels. Ultimately, this work intends to move toward the development of...

  • Crystallization Rates of AIST and Ge Thin Films by Optical and Electron Microscopy

    Creator:
    Bird, Victoriea L.
    Abstract:
    The amorphous to crystalline phase change is of great interest for the production and operation of phase change memory and germanium electronic devices. Phase change memory relies on the ability to differentiate between differences in optical or electrical properties between the amorphous and crystalline phases of a single material. Amorphous...
