Miniaturization of Microwave to Millimeter-Wave Integrated Waveguides and their Applications
DownloadFall 2019
The integration of waveguide technology at the planar level has been a crucial development for the successful realization of 5G, the future fifth generation cellular network. The demand for mobile networks with faster speeds, lower latencies, and denser connectivity scenarios continues to drive...

Nanoengineered and Biomimetic Protein-derived Adhesives with Improved Adhesion Strength and Water Resistance
DownloadSpring 2017
The oilseed industry generates a great deal of meal after oil extraction. Soy meal has a number of value added applications while canola meal is used mainly as a low-value animal feed. There is a growing interest on value addition of meal beyond feed uses. Canola and soy meal contain ~ 33-37% and...

Observing and Manipulating Single Electrons Confined to Silicon Dangling Bond Ensembles with Non-Contact Atomic Force Microscopy
DownloadFall 2018
Non-contact atomic force microscopy (nc-AFM) is capable of inducing and resolving single-electron charge transitions of surface adsorbates. Here, these techniques are extended by studying the charge configurations of dangling bond (DB) ensembles on the hydrogen-terminated silicon surface. nc-AFM...

Rational Design and Engineering of Metal-based Nanomaterials for Multifunctional Electrocatalysis
DownloadFall 2023
Multifunctional electrocatalysis plays an important role in renewable energy conversion, supporting a variety of clean energy devices such as fuel cells, electrolyzers, and metal-air batteries. Hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), oxygen evolution reaction (OER), and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR)...
