Design, Construction, And Utilization Of Physical Vapor Deposition Systems For Medical Sensor Fabrication, Nicholas Sayre, Erik J. Sánchez, Joe Kowalski
Student Research Symposium
The development of a novel blood glucose sensor is realized through construction of a homemade plasma coating system and utilization of semiconductor manufacturing processes in a small scale cleanroom environment. Photolithography, plasma sputtering, chemical etching and thin film measurement technologies are used in the medical sensor fabrication process. General process flow will be discussed, and system design and the plasma sputtering process will be presented as it is achieved by the system currently under development.

Student Research Symposium
Three dimensional (3D) bicrystallography describes ideal structures of grain boundaries comprehensively at the atomic level as a function of the five macroscopic and two of the four microscopic parameters [1,2]. Free energy minimization of these structures leads to the real structure of these topologically distinct regions within crystals. These minimizations may either reduce the symmetries of ideal bicrystals or leave them intact. Since the symmetries of physical properties need to be compatible (by the Shubnikov-Curie and Curie-Minnigerode-Neumann principles [3]) with the symmetries of the atomic arrangements from which they arise, bicrystallography allows for predictions about which phenomena can occur in …

Student Research Symposium
Focusing on data from an imager and the SABER instrument aboard the TIMED satellite temperature variances are determined to quantify small-scale gravity waves. IDL software was used to extract all the temperature profile measurements that were measured by SABER within a limited geographical area, centered on our ground-based optical imager at Cerro Pachon, Chile (30.3°S, 70.7°S). Large-scale tidal waves, with wavenumbers 0-6, were removed from each profile revealing the gravity wave perturbations. Temperature variances reveal possible increased wave activity due to mountain waves. Mountain waves in the mesosphere are a relatively unexplored field in aeronomy. They are generated predominantly in …
