  • Thermal characterization technique for thin dielectric films

    Creator:
    Indermuehle, Scott W.
    Abstract:
    A phase sensitive measurement technique that permits the simultaneous determination of two independent thermal properties of thin dielectric films is presented. Applying the technique results in a film's thermal diffusivity and effusivity, from which the thermal conductivity and specific heat can be calculated. The technique involves measuring a specimen's front...

  • Thermally-stable amorphous metal thin films

    Creator:
    McGlone, John M.
    Abstract:
    Amorphous metal thin films (AMTFs) are of potential use for metal-insulator-metal (MIM) tunnel diode applications due to their ultra-smooth surfaces, a consequence of their amorphous microstructure. The objective of this thesis is to design a thermally-stable AMTF capable of maintaining MIM tunnel diode performance after a post-deposition anneal in excess...

  • Development of Amorphous Metal Thin Films for Thermal Inkjet Printing and Microelectronics

    Creator:
    McGlone, John M.
    Abstract:
    Due to a lack of grain boundaries, an amorphous metal thin film (AMTF) possesses advantageous mechanical properties and enhanced chemical stability that is potentially useful for thermal inkjet (TIJ) printing applications. The use of an AMTF as a TIJ resistor or cavitation plate could lead to a thinner TIJ cavitation...

  • Refractory Amorphous Metal Thin Films

    Creator:
    Olsen, Kristopher R.
    Abstract:
    Amorphous metal thin films lack the grain boundaries and dislocations present in crystalline metal films. As a result, amorphous metal films can be more mechanically robust, atomically smooth, and more resistant to chemical attack than crystalline metals. However, amorphous metals are meta-stable and subject to crystallization upon heating, thus limiting...

  • Constrained thin film desorption through membrane separation

    Creator:
    Thorud, Johnathan D.
    Abstract:
    A constrained thin film desorption scheme has been experimentally tested to determine the desorption rates for water from an aqueous lithium bromide mixture through a confining membrane. Variable conditions include the inlet concentration, pressure differential across the membrane, and channel height. Desorption takes place in a channel created between two...

  • An experimental study of ammonia-water bubble absorption in a constrained microscale film

    Creator:
    Jenks, Jeromy W.
    Abstract:
    An experimental study of absorption of ammonia into a constrained thin film of ammonia-water solution is presented. A large aspect ratio microchannel with one of its walls formed by a porous material is used to constrain the thickness of the liquid film. Experiments were performed at a pressure of 1,...
