  • Crystallization Rates of AIST and Ge Thin Films by Optical and Electron Microscopy

    Creator:
    Bird, Victoriea L.
    Abstract:
    The amorphous to crystalline phase change is of great interest for the production and operation of phase change memory and germanium electronic devices. Phase change memory relies on the ability to differentiate between differences in optical or electrical properties between the amorphous and crystalline phases of a single material. Amorphous...

  • Heat Treatment Effects on the Mechanical Properties and Microstructure of CPM-M4 Tool Steel

    Creator:
    Fast, Cody P.
    Abstract:
    Variations in heat treatments have significant effects on the microstructure of tool steels. For CPM-M4 tool steel, the changes in microstructure and mechanical properties were observed based off of variations in temperature. Five heat treatments with constant exposure time and variable austenitizing and tempering temperatures were performed on samples of...

  • Ionic Cross-linked Cellulose Nanocrystals Composites of Poly(vinyl acetate)

    Creator:
    Chan, Han Ling
    Abstract:
    Understanding the effect on the materials mechanical properties from the perspective of interfacial interaction between the filler and the polymer matrix has become an important criterion in polymer nanocomposites field. Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are renewable materials that can be extracted from natural sources, such as wood, cotton, and tunicates. In...

  • Chemical Solution Deposition and Advanced Characterization of Pb-free, Bi-based, Piezoelectric Thin Films

    Creator:
    Mason, Ashley D.
    Abstract:
    Piezoelectric materials convert mechanical strain into a dielectric displacement, as well as the converse, allowing these materials to be used as sensors, actuators, and transducers. Currently, lead zirconate titanate (PZT) is the primary material used in these applications. Due to environmental toxicity and safety concerns associated with Pb, development of...
