Atomic Electronics With Silicon Dangling Bonds: Error Correction, Logical Gates, and Electrostatic Environment
DownloadSpring 2020
With the potential to unleash a new basis for electronics that are more energy efficient, faster, and at the ultimate scale in size density, single atoms as building blocks for miniature circuity have long been a technological holy grail. Preventing significant development have been various...

Atomic Force Microscopy Characterization of Hydrogen Terminated Silicon (100) 2x1 Reconstruction
DownloadFall 2015
Non-contact Atomic Force Microscopy (NC-AFM) is a Scanning Probe Microscopy tool offering unique non-perturbative analysis of surfaces and adsorbates at the atomic scale. AFM precisely oscillates a sharp tip above a sample. By monitoring the shift in resonance frequency of a quartz tuning fork...

Cation exchange due to the diffusion of ammonium from livestock effluent through glacial clay soils
Download2007
Abstract: The objective of this study was to experimentally simulate interactions between liquid manure and soil in diffusion-dominant areas beneath earthen manure storage (EMS). A previous radial diffusion cell method was modified to include an anaerobic chamber that employed a plastic glove bag...

Fall 2009
I investigated cellular mechanisms of ion and acid-base transport in rainbow trout (Oncorhyncus mykiss), crabs (Neohelice granulata), zebrafish (Danio rerio), Pacific hagfish (Eptatretus stoutii), and mosquito larvae (Aedes aegypti) with a primary focus on discerning the mechanisms governing ion...

Conductive Atomic Force Microscopy Study of Electron Transport Through Diazonium Derived Films and Mixed – Mode Bonded Layers on Gold and Carbon Surfaces
DownloadSpring 2012
For Molecular Electronics to become a viable replacement or complitment to current elec- tronic devices a fundamental understanding of device operation and functionality is needed. This work explores electron transport through diazonium derived molecular junctions via conductive atomic force...

Decline and partial rebound of the Labrador Current 1993-2004: Monitoring ocean currents from altimetric and conductivity-temperature-depth data
Download2010
Chen, Nancy, Ohashi, Kyoko, Fischer, Jürgen, Myers, Paul G., Han, Guoqi, Nunes, Nuno
Monitoring and understanding of Labrador Current variability is important because it is intimately linked to the meridional overturning circulation and the marine ecosystem off northeast North America. Nevertheless, knowledge of its decadal variability is inadequate because of scarcity of current...

Dependence of the Interfacial Adhesion between Two Different Types of Material on their Electron Work Function and Electrical Conductivity
DownloadFall 2021
We observed and investigated a novel interfacial phenomenon related to the dependence of interfacial bonding or adhesive force (Fad) between two substances on the difference in their Electron Work Functions (EWF) or Δφ, and developed a model to quantify such a dependence. First, using...
