High Performance Germanium-based Anode Materials for Lithium-ion and Sodium-ion Rechargeable Batteries
DownloadFall 2014
In this thesis the electrochemical performance of germanium nanowires (GeNWs) as anode for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and tin-germanium-antimony (Sn-Ge-Sb) thin films as anode for sodium-ion batteries (NIBs) have been investigated. Scientific literature shows a substantial study-to-study...

Intrinsic Disorder Effects and Persistent Current Studies of YBCO Thin Films and Superconducting Tunnel Junctions
DownloadFall 2009
This thesis studies the intrinsic disorder effects and the transport and magnetic properties of ring-shaped epitaxial thin films and superconducting tunnel junctions (STJs) of the high temperature superconductor YBa$2$Cu$3$O${7-\delta}$. We used an unconventional contactless technique that allows...
