Fall 2011
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...

Gas Diffusion Layers Impregnated with Metal Oxide Decorated and Nitrogen-Doped Carbon Nanotube Catalysts for Electrically Rechargeable Zn-Air Batteries
DownloadSpring 2020
Secondary zinc-air batteries (ZABs) have garnered interest in recent years as a promising technology for energy storage due to their minimal safety concerns, low cost, and a high theoretical energy density. However, many issues still need to be resolved for commercialization of ZABs. Many of...

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...

Motamedi, Pouyan, Bosnick, Ken, Cadien, Ken, Hogan, James D.
Ultrathin metal films have a wide variety of applications, especially in microelectronics. A key method to deposit these films is plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD), which is known for its ability to deposit thin films conformally and at relatively low temperatures. Building on the...

Gomes, L.E., Spinelli, J.E., Bogno, A.-A., Gallerneault, M., Henein, H.
An experimental study is reported on heat treating rapid solidified Al-12 wt.% Si alloy with 355-425 m powder size. Fast heat treatments at 813K revealed morphological shifts of eutectic Si from the as-atomized condition to those after annealing. The Si network of the as-atomized samples showed...

Fall 2010
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...
