Effects of In-Situ Temperature Control on the Nanostructure of Glancing Angle Deposition Thin Films
DownloadFall 2013
Glancing angle deposition (GLAD) is a thin film deposition technique that utilizes oblique vapour incidence and substrate rotation to grow various nanocolumn structures. The growth of these structures is heavily influenced by the substrate temperature during deposition. Therefore, in-situ...

Embedded Categories: Three Studies on the Institutional Shaping of Categories and Category Effects
DownloadSpring 2012
Over the past fifteen years, a rich program of research has emerged among scholars interested in the role of categories within fields and industries. In this context, studies have shown that categories shape organizational and market processes by grouping firms and products in ways that convey...

Engineering Considerations for the Design of High Performance Zinc Oxide Thin Film Transistors
DownloadSpring 2018
Zinc oxide (ZnO) thin film transistors (TFTs) are garnering significant interest recently due to their unique combination of high optical transparency, moderately high electron mobility, good stability, and compatibility with low temperature processing. If a low temperature processed, high...

Spring 2020
On a perfect hydrogen-terminated Si(100)-2x1 surface, each surface silicon atom is capped with exactly one atom of hydrogen. When one of the capping hydrogen atoms is removed, the now unsatisfied orbital of the underlying silicon atom is exposed at that site. This site is better known as a...

Fabrication and characterization of PZT nanorods and nanohexagons with applications in piezoelectric transducers
DownloadFall 2012
All ultrasound devices/sensors use piezoelectric transducers to generate/receive ultrasound. These transducers are made of Pb (Zr0.53Ti0.47) O3 (PZT) materials. In this article, we report a new way of fabricating PZT material with interesting nanorod and nanohexagon shapes. The PZT nanohexagons...
