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...

Molecular separations using nanostructured porous thin films fabricated by glancing angle deposition
DownloadSpring 2011
Biomolecular separation techniques are an enabling technology that indirectly influence many aspects of our lives. Advances have led to faster analyses, reduced costs, higher specificity, and new analytical techniques, impacting areas such as health care, environmental monitoring, polymer...

Morphology control and localized surface plasmon resonance in glancing angle deposited films
DownloadFall 2010
This research investigates an extension of the glancing angle deposition (GLAD) technique and a biosensing application of films produced by GLAD. The extension to GLAD, called phi-sweep (PS), improves column isolation compared to films grown by traditional GLAD (TG) as well as modifies the column...

Spring 2014
Analytical separations are important methods of identifying and quantifying molecular compounds present in complex sample mixtures. These approaches are popular in biochemistry, medical diagnostics, quality control, and numerous other applications. In these techniques, constituent analytes are...

Spring 2013
Organic photovoltaic cells (OPVs)are promising devices for inexpensive power generation from sunlight. Organic semiconductors, the basic materials for OPVs, can be fabricated using a broad range of fabrication technologies from vapor deposition to solution processing. Upon light absorption,...

Fall 2012
This thesis outlines several new approaches to fabricating improved organic solar cell (OSC) designs. Glancing angle deposition (GLAD) was used to grow thin films of metal phthalocyanine (MPc) materials with columnar morphologies suitable for use in OSCs. Advanced substrate motion techniques were...

Biosensors are devices that detect biological or chemical responses by generating signals that are proportional to the concentration of the analyte. An ideal biosensor should be highly sensitive, selective, and reproducible, with a low detection limit and rapid response time. Nanostructured...

Spring 2012
Glancing angle deposition (GLAD) was used to fabricate nanostructured TiO$_2$ capacitive relative humidity (RH) sensors. These sensors exhibit sub-second response times and large sensitivities, but are susceptible to ageing. Ultraviolet (UV) treatment of the sensors has been found to reverse...
