  • Electron-electron interaction driven phenomena in carbon nanotube devices

    Creator:
    Aspitarte, Lee
    Abstract:
    CNTs also offer new opportunities to study new science and develop new technology enabled by their strong electron-electron (e-e) interactions. The lack of dielectric screening inherent in nanoscale structures like CNTs leads to strong e-e interactions, which produce unique physical phenomena. In this thesis, we study the effects of strong...

  • Atomic Layer Deposition of Two Dimensional MoS2 on 150 mm Substrates

    Creator:
    Valdivia, Arturo Herrera
    Abstract:
    Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have recently come under intense investigation as building blocks for van der Waals heterostructure electronics. One of the most promising TMDs is MoS₂, which transitions from an indirect bandgap (1.3 eV) in its bulk state to a direct band gap (1.8 eV) in its single...

  • Characterization of liquid droplets from inkjet printers by optical scattering

    Creator:
    Wang, Xiangyu
    Abstract:
    Due to the wide applications of inkjet printers in industry and our daily life, characterization of liquid droplets from inkjet printers, particularly the behaviors of the impact and diffusion of the droplets on the surface of and inside porous medium is of great interest. One conventional characterization method uses high-speed...

  • Photostability of organic semiconductors : from bulk to nanoscales

    Creator:
    Quist, Nicole Arianne
    Abstract:
    Organic semiconductors have attracted considerable attention due to their applications in low-cost, solution-processable (opto)electronic devices. An important class of high-performance organic semiconductors is pentacene derivatives, which exhibit high charger carrier mobilities in field-effect transistors and ultrafast singlet fission in photovoltaic devices. These derivatives have served as benchmark materials for systematic...

  • Synthesis and Solution Characterization of Metal-Oxo Photoresist Precursors

    Creator:
    Hutchison, Danielle C.
    Abstract:
    Metal-oxo clusters can be described as soluble pieces of metal-oxide frameworks. Currently, metal-oxo clusters are being considered as solution-based precursors for extreme ultraviolet (EUV, 13.5 nm) photoresist materials, which are a crucial component in the fabrication of microelectronic devices. Two different photoresist precursor systems have been investigated – alkyltin clusters...

  • Amorphous TiO₂ : A Thin Film Synthesis Route to Stabilization of Metastable TiO₂ Brookite

    Creator:
    Haggerty, James E. S.
    Abstract:
    Structure-specific synthesis processes are of key importance to the growth of polymorphic functional compounds such as TiO₂, where material properties strongly depend on structure as well as chemistry. The robust growth of the brookite polymorph of TiO₂, a promising photocatalyst, has been difficult in both powder and thin-film forms due...

  • Electronic and Optical Properties of Organic Semiconductors : Experiment and Simulation

    Creator:
    Johnson, Brian
    Abstract:
    The continued development of organic semiconductor materials relies on an understanding of the relationship between optoelectronic properties, molecular structure, and molecular interaction. Several detailed studies of electronic properties in functionalized polyacene materials are presented. A computational model which allows the extraction of charge generation and transport properties from experimental data...

  • Radiative Acceleration and Emission from Relativistic Outflows

    Creator:
    Chhotray, Atul
    Abstract:
    Outflowing streams of matter or jets are a common phenomenon in the observeduniverse. The most extreme and powerful jets are relativistic, i.e., they travel at speedscomparable to the of speed light. Gamma Ray-Bursts (GRBs) and Active Galactic Nuclei(AGNs) are two sources of these relativistic jets. In this work I will...

  • Graphene Biotransistors, an Exploration of Neurosensing and Biofilm-sensing Applications

    Creator:
    Brown, Morgan A.
    Abstract:
    Atomically-thin graphene sheets have unprecedented characteristics for biosensing applications. These characteristics include mechanical flexibility and strength, optical transparency, electrical sensitivity and biocompatibility. The primary theme of this dissertation is the characterization and application of graphene field-effect transistors (FETs) in biologically-relevant physiological environments.Understanding the interface that forms between an electrolyte and...
