  • Functional materials for advanced energy and electronic devices

    Creator:
    Flynn, Brendan T.
    Abstract:
    Advances in energy technologies and electronics have typically occurred through either heightened performance or cost reduction. This dissertation explores both routes through a series of fundamental material studies that may contribute to the enabling of next generation devices. Solution based syntheses and deposition of chemical products offer a low cost...

  • 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...

  • Metal Oxide Cluster Chemistries for Next Generation Nanomanufacturing

    Creator:
    Frederick, Ryan T.
    Abstract:
    Metal oxide clusters are promising inorganic photoresists in next generation nanomanufacturing because of their potential for high-resolution and low line-edge roughness patterning, and exceptional sensitivity to extreme ultraviolet (EUV) radiation. In EUV patterning, absorption of EUV radiation leads to electron emission that serve as a primary species for driving radiation...

  • Examining the Environmental Behavior and Treatment Efficacy of Titanium Dioxide Nanomaterials in Complex Systems

    Creator:
    Deline, Alyssa R.
    Abstract:
    Metal oxide nanoparticles (MONPs) are manufactured at the greatest rate of any class of nanomaterial due to their wide variety of industrial, commercial, and environmental applications. The sustainable use of MONPs requires a balance of careful consideration of their potential negative environmental impacts with the effective exploitation of their unique...

  • Polyoxoniobates: fundamental solubility trend and their application in solution and on the surface of thin films

    Creator:
    Rahman, Tasnim
    Abstract:
    Polyoxometalates (POMs) are anions consisting of three or more early transition metals ™ (Gr V and VI) oxoanions (in their highest oxidation state) linked together by a shared oxygen bond to form a 3D framework. Polyoxometalates (POMs) are a rapidly growing class of metal oxo clusters with a wide range...

  • Solution-based Chalcogenide Thin Film Deposition

    Creator:
    Pan, Changqing
    Abstract:
    As a group of promising semiconductor materials, metal chalcogenides in thin film form have been widely used in electronics and optoelectronics applications, such as solar cell devices and photon sensors. Unfortunately, the film size and product throughput are limited by the current vacuum-based thin film deposition techniques. Solution-based thin film...

  • Investigation of solution-based processes for functional metal oxides : printing, nanostructures, and applications

    Creator:
    Han, Seung-Yeol
    Abstract:
    The various solution-based processes, spin coating, inkjet printing, microreactor assisted nanoparticle deposition (MANDTM) and spin-successive ionic layer absorption and reaction (Spin-SILAR) were used to demonstrate thin film electronics and anti-reflective coatings. Several aspects of thin film transistors (TFTs) were tested including a range of temperatures, annealing atmosphere, and deposition methods....

  • Education of American research astronomers, 1876-1941

    Creator:
    Hall, Robert Dale, 1947-
    Abstract:
    The education (particularly graduate education) of Americans who were active in astronomical research between 1876 and 1941 is assessed for its effectiveness in preparing the astronomers for careers in research. This period contains three dynamic changes: the growth of American astronomy in becoming the world's leading community of astronomers, the...

  • Conformation and reactivity studies of some bicyclo(3.3.1) nonane derivatives

    Creator:
    Sturmer, David Michael
    Abstract:
    New syntheses for 2-bicyclo(3.3.1)nonanone and 7-bicyclo-(3.3.1)nonen-2-one were developed. The saturated ketone was prepared from phenol and acrylonitrile via a novel intramolecular S[subscript N]2 cyclization process. A Friedel-Crafts cyclization of 3-(3-cyclohexenyl)propanoyl chloride permitted synthesis of the unsaturated ketone from 4-cyclohexene carboxaldehyde. The formation of the bicyclo(3.3.1)nonane rather than a bicyclo(3.2.2)nonane skeleton...
