Data analysis to understand coordination and topological environments in oxides
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)Local coordination and topology of ions determine several important properties of materials, including electronic structure, migration barrier, and diffusivity. In this thesis, we employ the Materials Project Database to ... -
Data mining for structure type prediction
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Determining the stable structure types of an alloy is critical to determining many properties of that material. This can be done through experiment or computation. Both methods can be expensive and time consuming. Computational ... -
Data-mining natural language materials syntheses
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)Discovering, designing, and developing a novel material is an arduous task, involving countless hours of human effort and ingenuity. While some aspects of this process have been vastly accelerated by the advent of ... -
DC magnetron reactive sputtering of low stress AlN piezoelectric thin films for MEMS application
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) often incorporate piezoelectric thin films to actuate and detect motion of mechanical structures. Aluminum nitride is advantageous for MEMS use because it can be deposited at low ... -
Deciphering how the viscoelastic properties of mussel-inspired metal-coordinate hydrogels dictate their adhesive and interfacial mechanics
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)In the world of adhesives, tunable viscoelasticity and adhesion to wet surfaces are two highly desirable properties. Mussels have already mastered both of these properties within the threads they create to anchor themselves ... -
Decreasing water absorption in and environmental analysis of alkali activated bricks
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)Alkali activated bricks offer an alternative to traditional clay fired bricks for use in construction in the developing world. Previous work in this lab focused on creating a robust mix formulation to create these bricks, ... -
