Advanced methods in Glancing Angle Deposition to control thin film morphology, microstructure and texture
DownloadSpring 2014
Structuring of material on the nanoscale is enabling new functional materials and improving existing technologies. Glancing angle deposition (GLAD) is a physical vapor deposition technique that enables thin film fabrication with engineered columnar structures on the (10 to 100) nm scales. In this...

Spring 2010
The purpose of this research was to study the applicability of management system standards (MSSs) in a research and development (R&D)-oriented nanotechnology setting. Since multiple quality and R&D-specific standards were found to be relevant in such environments, a methodology for the...

Aquatic nanotoxicity testing: Insights at the biochemical, cellular, and whole animal levels
DownloadFall 2013
Aquatic organisms are susceptible to waterborne nanoparticles and there is only limited understanding of the mechanisms by which these emerging contaminants affect biological processes. The unique properties of nanomaterials necessitate evaluation of standard toxicity testing techniques to...

The development of photolithography has been the main driving force of the semiconductor industry to keep pace with Moore’s Law for over five decades. The theoretical resolution limit of state-of-the-art 193 nm photolithography is about 36 nm (half pitch). By integrating multiple patterning...

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...
