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.

Fall 2018
Rechargeable zinc-air (Zn-air) batteries have gained renewed interest among the various technologies available with their high theoretical energy density and low cost. However, large-scale industrial deployment of Zn-air batteries is limited by several issues; the most concerning of these are low...

Electrodeposition of iron-cobalt alloys from a dibasic ammonium citrate stabilized plating solution
DownloadFall 2009
Iron-cobalt alloys have been extensively studied as potential hard disk drive write head materials due to their potentially high saturation flux densities (~2.4T), low coercivities and ease of deposition. Iron-cobalt plating solutions have, however, been shown to have stability issues,...

Fall 2015
Eutectic and near-eutectic tin (Sn) solder alloys have been indispensable when interconnecting and packaging electronic devices in the assembly of modern electronic circuits. Legislation has necessitated the implementation of lead (Pb)-free solder alternatives to replace near-eutectic Sn-Pb...
