The spinel vanadate CoV2O4 is a magnetically frustrated system with an interesting non-collinear spin texture at low temperatures. The magnetic frustration in the system arises from the arrangement of atoms in the structure of the...
Oxide ceramics are materials with a wide range of properties. Insulators are most common, however semiconductors, strongly correlated electron materials, and even superconductors are all relevant oxide materials. Here we seek to...
Self-assembled bilayers consisting of a monolayer of molecules, a metal linking ion and a second molecular layer were prepared and used in controlling critical energy and electron transfer events in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs)....
The isothermal and non-isothermal crystallization kinetics of poly (propylene succinate) stereocomplex over a broad range of temperatures has been studied. Crystallization peaks from Differential Scanning Calorimeter are only observed...
The growing environmental concern over carbon dioxide emission has driven the demand for next-generation green vehicles like electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). This in turn calls for higher capacity and higher...
This thesis is a continuous effort contributed to the field of developing a new type of functional porous materials - Nanocarbon Foam (NCF) by crosslinking multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) into networks in three-dimensional (3D)....
A bio-inspired, modular terpolymer adhesive has been synthesized containing three different functionalities: a photocrosslinking segment, wet adhesion segment, and a water soluble segment. Wet adhesion is brought on by an amino acid from...
A novel ceramic-polymer hybrid composite is fabricated by co-curing lay-up process to combine a carbon nanotube (CNT) reinforced ceramic composite film with a carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite substrate. A transition layer...
Halide perovskite materials have emerged in the past few years as promising materials in the absorption layer of photovoltaic cells and new emissive materials for use in light emitting diodes (LEDs). This is due to their rapidly...
REBCO (REBa2Cu3O7-δ, RE=rare earth elements) coated conductor (CC) is one of the best candidates for building high-field magnets and it has been improved greatly in recent years. CC overcome the grain boundary problem by using either a...
The main application of superconducting materials is to generate very high magnetic fields in reduced spaces i.e. built strong magnets (16 T – 100 T) for diverse applications such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), magnetic resonance...
This dissertation details the use of 93Nb (γ = 10.405 MHz/T, I = 9/2) and 77Se (γ = 8.13 MHz/T, I = 1/2) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to investigate the phase transitions of the layered transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) niobium...
The importance of permanent magnets with rare earth metals has grown as emerging markets increase their demand for technologies made with these magnets. However, the constraints of rare earth suppliers, the environmental impact of the...
After nearly seven years of research effort since the discovery of iron-based superconductors, wires and tapes of K-doped BaFe2As2 have finally been developed by the inexpensive and scalable powder-in-tube technique with critical current...
Enhancing the beam energy of particle accelerators like the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), at CERN, can increase our probability of finding new fundamental particles of matter beyond those predicted by the standard model. Such discoveries...
Two Dimensional Materials has been the focus of much research in the past decade. We review 145 stable two dimensional materials in both bulk and monolayer. We compare their final electronic properties and discuss the results....
Nanoscale ion diffusion is an important phenomenon governing the energy conversion efficiency, stability, degradation pathway, and lifetime of both soft and condensed engineering materials. Block copolyelectrolytes are one of the leading...
My research has been focusing on the development and processing of metal halide perovskites, an emerging class of semiconductor materials, for various types of light emitting diodes (LEDs). In this dissertation, introduction to metal...
