Fall 2015
2015 marks the 50th anniversary of Moore's law, which has described the exponential progress in semiconductor patterning technologies, enabling creation of smaller circuitry features at greater densities. These continued hardware developments, economically mass manufactured, have made possible...

Rosette Nanotubes (RNTs) are a class of self-assembled organic nanomaterials generated through the spontaneous hierarchical organization of guanine-cytosine (G˄C) bases with a built-in self-assembling ability. Driven by non-covalent intermolecular forces in solution, G˄C bases self-assemble into...

Molecular self-assembly is the basis of structure in Nature. While of far less complexity than a natural system, the same physical rules apply to simple synthetic designed systems that spontaneously form self-assembled structures and patterns. The self-assembly of block copolymers (BCPs) is an...

Exploration of Microscopic Structure and Dynamics in Halide Perovskite and Perovskite−Inspired Materials with Solid-State NMR Spectroscopy
DownloadSpring 2022
The work presented in this thesis describes the synthesis, structure, and optical properties of three different classes of halide-based perovskite materials, namely, metal halide perovskites of ABX3 type, halide double perovskites of A2B'B"X6 type, and “vacancy-ordered perovskites” of A2BX6 type...

Germanium nanomaterials have many potential applications based on their size-tunable optical and electronic properties, for example in photodetectors, photovoltaics and non-volatile memory. In this work, the synthesis of Ge nanoparticles by two different methods based on tailorability through the...
