(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)In this thesis two unique carbon based nanoelectromechanical switches or carbon nano-relays are demonstrated as a toolkit for investigating NEMs based low power switching. The first is a vertical carbon nano-relay, consisting ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Based on their properties, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been identified as ideal replacements for copper interconnects in integrated circuits given their higher current density, inertness, and higher resistance to ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Alumina, titania, ceria and manganese oxide were either coated onto or doped in cubic 7 mol% Y203-ZrO2 (7YZ) nanocrystals to form nanocomposites for methane combustion. These novel catalysts were very active and thermally ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)The demands for high-energy density cathode materials for rechargeable lithium batteries are ever increasing. This is because such cathode materials will enable smaller and lighter rechargeable lithium batteries for complex ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)A high-pressure liquid infiltration process utilizing centrifugal force was designed and laboratory equipment developed. In this process, a mold containing reinforcing materials was located at the end of an elongated runner, ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)The field of nanotechnology has received burgeoning interest in recent years as the characteristic dimensions for many applications (such as integrated circuits and magnetic storage media) become smaller and smaller. In ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)Chalcogenide glasses (ChGs) are amorphous compounds containing the chalcogen elements (S, Se, Te) and exhibit wide infrared transparency windows. They are easy to synthesize in bulk and thin film forms and their compositional ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)While the properties of functional oxide thin films often depend strongly on oxygen nonstoichiometry (6), there have been few means available for its measurement and control in a reliable and in-situ fashion. In this work, ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)This thesis describes the synthesis and characterization of CdSe core - ZnS shell (CdSe)ZnS nanocrystals, which behave as quantum dots (QDs), their incorporation into transparent polymers and ZnS, and possible device ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Electrostatic fiber formation, or electrospinning, offers a particularly simple and robust method to create polymeric nanofibers of various sizes and morphologies. In electrospinning, a viscoelastic fluid is charged so ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Three-dimensional integrated circuit (3D IC) technology enables heterogeneous integration of devices fabricated from different technologies, and reduces global RC delay by increasing the device density per unit chip area. ...

Chemical vapor deposition and functionalization of fluorocarbon-organosilicon copolymer thin films (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)Neural prostheses are micron-scale integrated circuit devices that are under development for the treatment of brain and spinal cord injuries. A key challenge in the fabrication of these silicon- based devices is the ...
