Breeding ecology and nest site selection of Kittlitz's murrelets on Kodiak Island, Alaska

Creator:: Lawonn, Matthew James
Abstract:: The Kittlitz's murrelet (Brachyramphus brevirostris) is a rare member of the seabird family Alcidae that breeds in coastal areas of Alaska and Beringian Russia. The species belongs to the genus Brachyramphus, an unusual seabird taxon in which all three extant species nest non-colonially, situating their nests up to 75 km...

Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) Process Development of Nb-doped TiO₂ as a Transparent Conducting Oxide (TCO) and ALD of HfO₂/Nb₂O₅ Bilayers as Insulating Barriers for Metal/Insulator/Insulator/Metal (MIIM) Diodes

Creator:: Lin, Shijia
Abstract:: Transparent conductive oxides (TCOs), primarily indium doped tin oxide, have been widely used in numerous fields since decades ago, such as solar cells, displays, OLEDs and ‘smart windows’ etc. Owing to the scarcity of indium, there is a great demand for new alternative materials. Metal/insulator/metal (MIM) diodes are a critical...

Electrical characterization of thermally reduced graphite oxide

Creator:: Jewell, Ira
Abstract:: This thesis describes the transport properties observed in thermally treated graphite oxide (GO), which holds promise as an economical route to obtaining graphene. Graphene is a material consisting of a single atomic plane of carbon atoms and was first isolated as recently as 2004. Several isolation techniques have been investigated,...

Application of WiMAX to aviation communications

Creator:: Kim, Sang Jun
Abstract:: The US military is evaluating the capabilities of emerging technologies based on IEEE 802.16 standard as a potential commercial off-the-shelf solution to support the communication requirements of the future war. In the last few years, development in military and telecommunication industries have focused on an intensive use of broadband systems,...

Fabrication and characterization of p-type CuO / n-type ZnO heterostructure gas sensors prepared by sol-gel processing techniques

Creator:: Ravichandran, Ram
Abstract:: Increased interest in the field of sensor technology stems from the availability of an inexpensive and robust sensor to detect and quantify the presence of a specific gas. Bulk p-CuO/n-ZnO heterocontact based gas sensors have been shown to exhibit the necessary sensitivity and selectivity characteristics, however, low interfacial CuO/ZnO contact...

Investigation of metal-insulator-metal (MIM) and nanolaminate barrier MIIM tunnel devices fabricated via atomic layer deposition

Creator:: Alimardani, Nasir
Abstract:: Metal-insulator-metal (MIM) tunnel devices have been proposed for high speed applications such as hot electron transistors, IR detectors, optical rectennas for IR energy harvesting, and backplanes for LCDs. The majority of these applications require highly asymmetric and non-linear current versus voltage (I-V) behavior at low applied voltages and ultra-high frequencies....

Characterization and Investigations of Thin-Film Materials with X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy

Creator:: Diulus, J. Trey
Abstract:: Surface characterization of materials is widely utilized over a range of disciplines and essential to the development of new materials, technology, or processes. Metal oxide nanoclusters have shown promise as potential new generation photoresist materials for extreme ultraviolet (EUV) nanolithography. Organotin clusters have been proposed as potential candidates for resist...

Impact of Process Optimization and Composition on Thin Film BNKT Microstructure, Ferroelectric and Piezoelectric Response

Creator:: Grove, Kyle M.
Abstract:: Recent changes in legislation restricting lead content in waste streams produced during electronics manufacturing have inspired a strong push to develop alternative lead-free materials systems for piezoelectric applications. One lead-free piezoelectric material system, (100-X)Bi₀.₅Na₀.₅TiO₃-XBi₀.₅K₀.₅TiO₃ (BNKT), has shown promising properties in bulk research, however, difficulties have arisen in the development of...

Using Computational Studies to Characterize Aqueous Metal Clusters : From Spectroscopy to Stability

Creator:: Wills, Lindsay A.
Abstract:: In this dissertation, the spectroscopic properties and thermodynamic stability of a class of materials known as metal oxo and hydroxo clusters are studied. In aqueous solutions, many metals can aggregate into discrete clusters of metals bridged by oxo or hydroxo ligands. These clusters are of particular interest to us for...

DC/AC Stability of In-Ga-Zn-O Thin-Film Transistors

Creator:: Zhou, Fan
Abstract:: The electrical stability of amorphous indium-gallium-zinc oxide (a-IGZO) thinfilmtransistors (TFTs) is investigated for flat-panel display applications. Althoughproducts incorporating a-IGZO TFT backplanes are already commercially available,e.g., iMac with 5K retina display, technical challenges need to be addressed for nextgenerationapplications, e.g., active-matrix organic light-emitting diode displays.Device stability is one crucial issue. The...
