  • 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...

  • Synthesis and characterization of aluminum oxide based materials - from molecule to device

    Creator:
    Wang, Wei
    Abstract:
    A scalable synthesis of the "flat" tridecameric inorganic cluster [Al₁₃(μ₃-OH)₆(μ-OH)₁₈(H₂O)₂₄]¹⁵⁺ has been realized by treating an aqueous aluminum nitrate solution with zinc-metal powder at room temperature. Single crystals and polycrystalline samples are readily obtained in yields exceeding 55% relative to the starting reagent Al(NO₃)₃. Products have been characterized by X-ray...

  • Fabrication of CuInGaSe₂ thin film solar cells using low-cost air-stable inks

    Creator:
    Wang, Wei
    Abstract:
    CuInGaSe₂ (CIGS), a promising thin film solar cell material, has gained lots of attention in decades due to its high energy conversion efficiency and potential lower manufacture cost over conventional Si solar cells. As a cheaper processing method compared to vacuum-based techniques, solution-based deposition has been successfully applied to fabricate...

  • Factors related to resisitance of bacteria to quaternary ammonium germicides

    Creator:
    Wang, Wei-sheng
    Abstract:
    This study was carried out to compare the effects of a quaternary ammonium compound (QAC) upon strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa which were either sensitive or resistant to the germicide. The cationic QAC used was alkyldimethylbenzylammonium chloride. The resistant types were isolated from the sensitive population by selection of mutants which...

  • Threshold ionization spectroscopy of metal clusters and metal-ligand complexes

    Creator:
    Peng, Xianzhao
    Abstract:
    In this dissertation, we describe a spectroscopic study of metal clusters and metal-ligand complexes using pulsed field ionization zero kinetic energy (PFI-ZEKE) photoelectron spectroscopy and mass analyzed threshold ionization (MATI) spectroscopy. Vibrational resolved spectra of sodium dimer, Na•NH₃, Na•(NH₃)₂ are presented. These spectra provide a direct measurement of the ionization...

  • Molecular investigation of the cnidarian-dinoflagellate symbiosis and the identification of genes differentially expressed during bleaching in the coral Montipora capitata

    Creator:
    Hauck, Laura L.
    Abstract:
    Cnidarians, such as anemones and corals, engage in an intracellular symbiosis with photosynthetic dinoflagellates. Corals form both the trophic and structural foundation of reef ecosystems. Despite their environmental importance, little is known about the molecular basis of this symbiosis. In this dissertation we explored the cnidariandinoflagellate symbiosis from two perspectives:...

  • The role of innate immunity in cnidarian-dinoflagellate symbiosis

    Creator:
    Poole, Angela Z.
    Abstract:
    Cnidarians, such as corals and sea anemones serve as hosts to a variety of organisms including symbiotic dinoflagellates, bacteria, virus, and apicomplexans. As corals are vital to the health and productivity of the reef ecosystem it is important to understand how these organisms interact with each component of the holobiont....

  • Initiation of coral/algal symbioses : the role of cell surface lectin/glycan interactions in recognition and specificity

    Creator:
    Wood-Charlson, Elisha M.
    Abstract:
    Mutualistic associations between cnidarians, such as corals, and photosynthetic dinoflagellate algae provide the trophic and structural foundation of coral reef ecosystems. In many cases, this intracellular mutualism is highly specific and must be established anew for each generation of host corals. The ability to maintain partner specificity across generations implies...

  • Electron diffraction of molecules in superfluid helium droplets

    Creator:
    He, Yunteng
    Abstract:
    In this dissertation, I describe the experimental investigation in electron diffraction of molecules in superfluid helium droplets. The project is part of an overall scheme called ‘single molecule serial electron diffraction imaging’ (SS-EDI), with the ultimate goal of building an apparatus to determine atomic structures from oriented macromolecules. In SS-EDI,...

    Creator:
    He, Yonggang
    Abstract:
    In this dissertation, I present electronic spectroscopy of a few biologically relevant species and their complexes with solvent molecules in the gas phase using a variety of techniques, including resonantly enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI), laser induced fluorescence (LIF), and zero kinetic energy (ZEKE) photoelectron spectroscopy. My work on several methylated...
