Novel Syntheses, Functionalization, and Applications of Octa-, Deca- and Dodecasilsesquioxanes.
(2009)
The construction of materials nanometer-by-nanometer in principle leads to the controlled design of a variety of materials with well-defined nanometer-sized architectures and novel yet predictable behaviors. Polyhedral ...
Investigations of Surface Reconstructions and Inverse Stranski Krastanov Growth in InGaAs Films.
(2009)
Understanding surface reconstructions is an important aspect of controlling the structure of epitaxially grown III-V compound semiconductors. Ternary alloys such as InGaAs are important components of many electronic and ...
Organic Electronic Devices for Sensing and Imaging Applications.
(2009)
While electronic devices based on organic materials have an increasing presen-ce in display, lighting, and photovoltaic applications, sensor applications have been relatively unexplored. Organic semiconductors offer unique ...
Rigorous Model and Simulations of the Kirkendall Effect Diffusion in Substitutional Binary Alloys.
(2009)
The Kirkendall effect stems from the difference between the exchange rates of the atomic species and vacancies in a substitutional alloy. Vacancies, which mediate diffusion, are generated and eliminated at their sources ...
Novel Organosilicone Materials and Patterning Techniques for Nanoimprint Lithography.
(2009)
Nanoimprint Lithography (NIL) is a high-throughput patterning technique that allows the fabrication of nanostructures with great precision. It has been listed on the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors ...
Ferromagnet/Semiconductor Based Spintronic Devices.
(2009)
Spintronics is an emerging field which is great interest for its potential to provide high-speed and low-power novel devices and eventually replace and/or complement conventional silicon-based metal-oxide-semiconductor ...
First-Principles Investigation of Thermodynamic and Kinetic Properties in Ti-H System and B2-NiAl Compound: Phase Stability, Point Defect Complexes and Diffusion.
(2009)
The purpose of this thesis is to show the technique of predicting thermodynamic and kinetic properties from first-principles using density functional theory (DFT) calculations, cluster expansion methods and Monte Carlo ...
Modeling Defect Mediated Dopant Diffusion in Silicon.
(2009)
The current understanding of dopant diffusion in silicon comes from the synthesis of experimental and computational research. Dopant diffusion is mediated by defects, and the relevant physical phenomena range over many ...
Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Alkane-Functionalized Polyhedral Oligomeric Silsesquioxanes (POSS). Oligomeric Silsesquioxanes (POSS).
(2009)
Polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS) is an inorganic cubic-shaped molecule with chemical formula R8Si8O12, where R can be hydrogen atoms or complex organic molecules. Due to the nano-size and because it can be ...
