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.

A New Class of Resonant Metasurfaces Based on Highly Subwavelength Metamaterial-Lined Apertures and Metamaterial-Coated Discs
DownloadSpring 2019
This work presents analytical, numerical and experimental studies of a new class of resonant metasurfaces (MTSs), which may also be classified as miniaturized-element frequency selective surfaces (FSSs). The proposed MTS unit cells consist of circular aperture or disc resonators that are made...

Analysis and Design of A New Class of Miniaturized Circular Waveguides Containing Anisotropic Metamaterial Liners
DownloadFall 2016
This work presents the analysis and design of a new class of miniaturized circular waveguides containing anisotropic metamaterial liners, and reveals in detail intriguing and potentially useful propagation and radiation phenomena. An analytical construction of the liner as a homogeneous,...

Continuum Modelling and Analysis of a Class of One and Two Dimensional Elastic Metamaterials with Local Rotation
DownloadFall 2022
The group of materials classified as "metamaterials" have accrued great interest in the scientific community as of late for their potential to revolutionize several multidisciplinary applications. Metamaterials are defined as synthetic/man-made materials which have been engineered to possess a...

Fall 2017
Since the development of the fluctuation dissipation theorem for electromagnetics in 1956 by Landau, Lipschitz and Rytov, field correlations have gradually come to be understood as a consistent framework for treating all optical aspects of linear response. In turn, the theory of electromagnetic...

Fall 2014
Metamaterials are artificial media designed to achieve exotic electromagnetic responses that are not available in conventional materials. Engineering the black body thermal emission using metamaterials promises to impact a variety of applications involving thermophotovoltaics, energy management...

Theory, Analysis, and Applications of Multidimensional, Multiconductor Transmission-Line Metamaterials
DownloadFall 2021
The past few decades have seen incredible growth in the interest of using periodic structures to improve the efficacy of microwave-frequency devices, since they provide access to dispersion-engineered phenomena such as bandgaps, group- and phase-velocity control, and advanced resonance behaviors....
