(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)Growing evidence supports that the unique mechanical behavior of mussel byssal threads, such as high toughness and self-healing, rely on an intricate balance of permanent covalent and reversible metal coordination bonds. ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)Graphene oxide (GO) is a versatile, solution-processable candidate material for next-generation, large-area, ultrathin electronics, optoelectronics, energy conversion and storage technologies. GO is an atom-thick sheet of ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)This thesis applies the unique properties of photonic crystals to enhance the performance of several III-V optical sources. Emphasis is placed on the primary limitation of using photonic crystals for III-V optical sources: ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)In an effort to make alternative energy competitive to fossil fuels, research in improving efficiencies of solar cells and fuel cells have grown rapidly over the last few decades. One prominent strategy to improving the ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)We investigate how the external quantum efficiency (EQE) of colloidal quantum-dot light emitting devices (QD-LEDs) can be enhanced by addressing in situ QD photoluminescence (PL) quenching mechanisms occurring with and ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Improvement in material properties as a result of grain size refinement to the nanoscale is often limited by an inherent tendency of these nanostructured materials to coarsen especially at the high temperatures required ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Along with scaling down in size, novel materials have been introduced into the semiconductor industry to enable continued improvements in performance and cost as predicted by Moore's law. It has become important now more ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)Epitaxial Ge thin films are being investigated for many important roles in next generation microelectronics. Metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs) utilizing Ge channels have demonstrated dramatic ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)The variability of a nanostructured material's fundamental properties as compared to its bulk state has led to the rich field of nanotechnology and the quest to uncover unique properties of structures at the nanoscale. An ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1994)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Silicon microphotonics has emerged as the leading technology to overcome the interconnect bottleneck that limits a further increase of computation power following Moore's law. Optical interconnects between different ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Ergonomic injuries are not the result of acute events. An ergonomic injury develops gradually from continued actions combining force, motion repetition, posture, and duration. Because these injuries accrue over time, it ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Essential to the emergence of spin-based electronics is a source of highly polarized electron spins. Conventional ferromagnets have at best a spin polarization P-50%. Europium monoxide is a novel material capable of ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)As companies continue to outsource large portions of their manufacturing, managing costs in the supply chain is increasingly important in reducing overall costs and remaining competitive. Low-cost sourcing has become an ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1995)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Tumor-related cerebral edema is a debilitating medical condition that afflicts tens of thousands of newly diagnosed brain cancer patients in the U.S. each year, where the standard care of treatment indicates the systemic ...
