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...

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...

Submarine earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and ambient noise in the Northeast Pacific

Creator:: Haxel, Joseph H.
Abstract:: Passive hydrophone technologies and a variety of acoustic methods are applied in the deep-ocean and shallow water coastal environments of the northeast Pacific. A catalog derived from U.S. Navy regional hydrophone array recordings of acoustic T- phases from seafloor earthquakes is examined, describing space/time patterns through empirical orthogonal function analysis...

Extreme Wave Runup and Runup Variability on Beaches

Creator:: Li, Chuan
Abstract:: Wave runup is an important physical process that affects nearshore sediment transport, coastal erosion, and flooding. Large and unexpected runup events can also be dangerous to beach goers. Extreme runup statistics are essential parameters used in engineering design of marine structures and in coastal management. Although the study of runup...

A case study of the influence of log deck configurations on loading with a self-loading log truck

Creator:: Clark, Cedric J.
Abstract:: Intensive forest management requires efficient logging techniques to remain economical. Commercial thinnings and shorter rotations increase piece count inversely to piece size. Continued research aimed toward effective log handling processes is essential. The purpose of this study was to evaluate one case of a self-loading log truck (integral loader and...

The effects of thermodynamic parameterizations, ice shelf geometry, and tides on modeled basal melting of Weddell Sea ice shelves

Creator:: Mueller, Rachael D.
Abstract:: Antarctic Ice Sheet mass balance and, hence, sea level change is affected by the floating extensions of outlet glaciers and ice streams that take up about 44% of the coastline (Drewry et al., 1982) and are referred to as "ice shelves". Ice sheet mass loss accelerates when these ice shelves...

Association of hydrophobic organic compounds with dissolved soil organic carbon

Creator:: Ochs, Michael
Abstract:: Volatile hydrophobic compounds (HOCs) brought into soil and sediment systems represent a serious threat to the environment. Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) may exert an important influence over the total aqueous solubility and mobility of organic pollutants through their incorporation into micelles or the formation of soluble complexes. To date, however,...
