Abstract:

<p> The use of spectrofluorometers to examine nanomaterials is quite popular using either fluorescence or synchronous measurements. However, understanding how a material’s optical properties can influence spectral acquisition are of great importance to accurately characterize nanomaterials. This dissertation presents a series of computational and experimental studies aimed at enhancing the quantitative understanding of nanoparticle interactions with matter and photons. This allows for more reliable spectrofluorometer based acquisition of nanoparticle containing solutions. </p><p> Cha

Abstract:

InGaAs/InP PIN photodetectors have been fabricated in the laboratory. Several material characterization techniques are performed to characterize the material. They include current-voltage (I-V) measurements, capacitance-voltage (C-V) measurements, electron beam induce current (EBIC) measurements and deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) measurements. It is found that sample V1 and V1B have a higher n- region doping concentration then that of sample V2A. The measurements also indicate that the recombination currents in the devices are small.

Abstract:

The insect respiratory system serves as a model for both robust microfluidic transport and mate- rial design. In the system, the convective flow of gas is driven through local deformations of the tracheal network, a phenomenon that is dependent on the unique structure and material properties of the tracheal tissue. To understand the underlying mechanics of this method of gas transport, we studied the microstructure and material properties of the primary thoracic tracheal tubes of the American cockroach (Periplaneta americana). We performed quasi-static uniaxial tests on the tissue which reveal

Abstract:

Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy systems were developed and used for the anaylsis and characterization of various materials. By using ultra-fast Ti:Sapphire and Er-doped fiber lasers, terahertz time-domain spectrometers of different configurations were constructed and tested. To increase the accuracy and sensitivity of the measurements, the systems were optimized for spectroscopic analysis. MBE grown nominally undoped epitaxial GaAs samples were used for the spectroscopic measurements. These samples were first charactrized by electrical measurements in order to check the accuracy of the tera

The inverse analysis introduced in this dissertation involves detennining an object's properties. In engineering problems, the most important object properties are material or constitutive constants (elastic/plastic). In direct problems, engineers can conveniently look up for the material constants in standard materials handbooks, and use them to pred'ict the structure's responses under the given loads. However, in the cases where the material constants are not available from standard handbooks, or the material properties need to be detennined precisely since a small difference from those list

Abstract:

Cross-country skiing has developed to become one of the most competitive winter sports, where a skier can win by fractions of seconds. Joint efforts between ski technicians and scientist have allowed the development of methodologies to prepare the ski surface, yet much of the knowledge up to date is based on the experience of the technicians. In this sense, much attention is focused on the ski base, given that the friction at the base is an important factor that will define how fast a ski can glide. Ski base preparation is an extensive procedure, due to the several parameters that have to be

In recent years, acoustic microscopy has been found to be very useful for characterizing engineering as well as biological materials. With the present state of knowledge on acoustic microscopy, one can obtain the surface wave velocity of a homogeneous specimen or coating thickness of a coated material and can produce images of near surface internal defects and inhomogeneities in a specimen. Low frequency (≤ 1 MHz) acoustic microscopy has been found to be very effective for detecting cracks at a relatively greater depth.

These were analysed in SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope), with BSE (Backscattered Electrons) and EDS (Energy Dispersive XraySpectroscopy).

Abstract:

My dissertation focuses on (i) the development of new analysis tools and methodologies for analyzing X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) data, and (ii) the comprehensive characterization of materials (nanodiamonds) using a multi-instrument approach. Chapter 1 contains (i) a discussion of the two techniques I focused on most in my work: XPS and ToF-SIMS, (ii) a discussion of the common chemometrics techniques used to analyze data from these methods, and (iii) the advantages/rationale behind the multi-instrument characterization of

Abstract:

This PhD project dealt with different topics mainly linked together by fluorinated compounds. The work started from the preparation and characterization of mesoporous materials as support for catalysts for the production of fluorinated monomers of industrial interest. From these monomers, fluorinated polymers are obtained through industrial processes, with all their interesting properties, due to the presence of fluorine, such as thermal and chemical stability, flame resistance. This particular family of polymer find many applications, but their use as catalyst in gas-phase reactions is still

Abstract:

Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) quaternary compound has attracted much attention in the last years as new abundant, low cost and non-toxic material, with desirable properties for thin film photovoltaic (PV) applications. In this work, CZTS thin films were grown using two different processes, based on vacuum deposition of precursors, followed by a heat treatment in sulphur atmosphere. The precursors were deposited using two different approaches: (i) electron-beam evaporation of multiple stacks made of ZnS, Sn and Cu and (ii) co-sputtering deposition of the three binary sulphides CuS, SnS and ZnS.

Abstract:

<p>The goals of this thesis were to synthesize nanocrystalline Zn, to study the mechanical properties of bulk nanocrystalline Zn and try to reveal the deformation mechanisms in nanocrystalline materials. Nanocrystalline Zn powder has been synthesized by a cryomilling method. The average grain size decreased exponentially with the cryomilling time and reached a minimum average grain size of around 17nm. Large numbers of small grains (2~6nm) have been found in the very early stages of cryomilling. Dynamic recrystallization (DRX) was used to explain the observed phenomena. Differential scanning c
