This thesis describes the fabrication and characterization of integrated hollow Bragg waveguides fabricated by controlled thin film buckling. Hollow waveguides based on two different set of materials were studied. In the first case, thermal tuning of air-core dimensions was studied using...

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...

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)...

The impressive developments in the semiconductor industry over the past five decades have largely been dependent on the ability to continually reduce the dimensions of devices on a chip. However, as critical dimension requirements for these devices approach the limits of photolithography, new...

Electrons, the fundamental charge carriers in solid-state devices, possess three intrinsic properties: mass, charge and spin. Spin is a quantum mechanical property, but can be loosely visualized as a tiny “intrinsic” magnetic dipole moment attached to an electron. In conventional electron...

Silicon nanocrystals (SiNCs) have been suggested as promising candidates for bioimaging because of their abundance, biocompatibility, and stable photoluminescent properties. However, “naked” SiNCs are insoluble in water and very reactive. As a result, NC surface functionalization is necessary to...

We investigate the microscopic nature of charge-carrier conduction in nanoscale semiconducting materials using time-resolved terahertz spectroscopy (TRTS). TRTS uses picosecond pulses of terahertz radiation (0.5-2.5 THz) to explore photoexcited charge-carrier lifetimes and dynamics with...
