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...

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...
