This decommissioned ERA site remains active temporarily to support our final migration steps to https://ualberta.scholaris.ca, ERA's new home. All new collections and items, including Spring 2025 theses, are at that site. For assistance, please contact erahelp@ualberta.ca.
Theses and Dissertations
This collection contains theses and dissertations of graduate students of the University of Alberta. The collection contains a very large number of theses electronically available that were granted from 1947 to 2009, 90% of theses granted from 2009-2014, and 100% of theses granted from April 2014 to the present (as long as the theses are not under temporary embargo by agreement with the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies). IMPORTANT NOTE: To conduct a comprehensive search of all UofA theses granted and in University of Alberta Libraries collections, search the library catalogue at www.library.ualberta.ca - you may search by Author, Title, Keyword, or search by Department.
To retrieve all theses and dissertations associated with a specific department from the library catalogue, choose 'Advanced' and keyword search "university of alberta dept of english" OR "university of alberta department of english" (for example). Past graduates who wish to have their thesis or dissertation added to this collection can contact us at erahelp@ualberta.ca.

Quantum-Mechanical Assessment of Graphene and MoS2 Transistors for Future Radio-Frequency Electronics
DownloadSpring 2017
Due to aggressive device scaling, the performance and cost-effectiveness of field-effect transistors (FETs) have improved exponentially over the last 60 years, a trend known as Moore’s Law. Unfortunately, obstacles have arisen to further scaling, including decreased electrostatic control of the...

Radio Frequency Characterization and Modelling of Low Temperature Co-Fired Ceramic (LTCC) Material and Devices
DownloadSpring 2014
The focus of this dissertation is on the characterization of Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramic (LTCC) for microwave and Radio Frequency (RF) applications. The LTCC substrates’ excellent microwave properties make them great candidates for the packaging of RF devices, as well as the fabrication of...
