Spring 2020
On a perfect hydrogen-terminated Si(100)-2x1 surface, each surface silicon atom is capped with exactly one atom of hydrogen. When one of the capping hydrogen atoms is removed, the now unsatisfied orbital of the underlying silicon atom is exposed at that site. This site is better known as a...

This work investigates the use of nanoimprint lithography for creating nanoscale resonator devices for applications in mass sensing. A bilayer resist consisting of PMMA 495/LOR 3A allowed the ideal imprint yield for resonators with widths ranging from 300 nm down to 120 nm. Resonators with...

Functional Mobility of Community-Dwelling Older Persons: An Ethnographic Pre-Feasibility Study
DownloadFall 2019
The purpose of this pre-feasibility study was two-fold: first, to examine perceptions and experiences of mobility challenges in the urban Brazilian community-dwelling older persons; second, to examine study participants’ perceptions about a sit-to-stand activity. The method of exploration was...

Fundamentals of Film Growth by Glancing Angle Deposition for Inorganic and Inorganic/Liquid Crystal Hybrid Optical Systems
DownloadFall 2011
This thesis investigates two facets of thin film growth via glancing angle deposition. The first half of the work focuses on the fundamentals of film growth with a focus on uniformity and optical design. This portion of the thesis addresses important engineering questions that are relevant to...

Fall 2017
Despite offering advantages such as physical flexibility and cost-effectiveness, thin-film optoelectronic devices are held back by their lackluster efficiency in competition with their traditional counterparts. Since one major factor in low performance of these devices is known to be their...

High Surface Area Nanoelectromechanical Systems via the Integration of Glancing Angle Deposition Thin Films
DownloadFall 2013
High surface area nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) are fabricated using glancing angle deposition (GLAD) thin films as the high surface area layer. The GLAD films are deposited on already-released NEMS cantilevers and doubly clamped beams (DCBs) with good uniformity. The resonance frequencies...

As we navigate through the vibrant mosaic of Canada's multicultural society, the fading whispers of heritage language loss signal an urgent call to action. My journey into the heart of Canada's linguistic diversity transcends academic inquiry; it is a personal quest fueled by my experiences as...

Homeless and policed: The racialized policing of homelessness, space, and mobility in Edmonton
DownloadSpring 2014
The City of Edmonton recently developed an anti-panhandling bylaw and a diverted giving campaign. Previous literature on the policing of homelessness has focused on the development and discourses of these measures. Using 22 interviews with homeless adults, I examine how homeless persons...

SSHRC PG awarded 2021: Despite Sub-Saharan Africans' (SSAIs) significant size and growth over the past half century, they are poorly understood and underserved by mainstream immigrant settlement and integration services, Canadian institutions, and academia, at large. The Partnership for Research...

Spring 2015
Why do immigrants seemingly have an easier time entering the labour market in Canada, a selective liberal welfare state, than they do in Sweden, a social democratic welfare state? Welfare state theory, as formulated in the now classic work by Gosta Esping-Andersen would give reason to expect the...
