(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Germanium is becoming an increasingly popular material to use in photonic systems. Due to its strong absorption in the near infrared and its relative ease of integration on silicon, it is a promising candidate for the ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)Arrays of nanostructured magnetic particles ('nanomagnets') have potential applications in ultra-high-density data storage devices and dynamic magnetic memories, and are model systems for the study of magnetic phenomena ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) rely heavily on the semiconductor industry's manufacturing paradigm. While the standardized process model allows semiconductor chips to benefit from economy of scale and be sold at low ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Recent successes with superconducting Josephson junction qubits make them prime candidates for the implementation of quantum computing. This doctoral thesis details the study of a niobium Josephson junction circuit for ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)CMOS-compatible photodiodes are becoming increasinging important devices to study because of their application in combined electronic-photonic systems. They are already used as inexpensive optical transceivers in fiber ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Thermophotovoltaic (TPV) power conversion is the direct conversion of thermal radiation to electricity. Conceptually, TPV power conversion is a very elegant means of energy conversion. A thermal source emits a radiative ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)This thesis studies the morphological and electrical properties of copper nanocluster devices generated by DC magnetron sputtering and annealed at temperatures up to 1100 C. At each annealing step, the resistivity of the ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Optical-mode converters are needed to efficiently couple light from an optical fiber to a photonic circuit by matching and transforming the propagating modes. This work is based on a horizontally-tapered coupler, in which ...
