Fabrication And Testing Of Non-Volatile Memory Using Chalcogenide Glass Thin Film, William Porter Dunn May 2008

Fabrication And Testing Of Non-Volatile Memory Using Chalcogenide Glass Thin Film, William Porter Dunn

Master's Theses

Silver doped chalcogenide glasses, such as Ag-Ge-Se, display resistance switching behavior under low threshold voltages, which makes these materials very promising in non-volatile memory applications. In this thesis, ternary glasses of composition (GeS3)1-xAgx (x = 0.1 and 0.2) are studied. Non-volatile memory cells based on the above compositions are fabricated and electrically characterized.

Thin films are fabricated at 3 different evaporation angles (45°, 60°, and 90°) in a vacuum thermal evaporator. Finished films are thermally annealed at 150°C and 200°C respectively. Both virgin and thermal annealed samples are examined using Raman scattering. Raman line-shapes of both virgin and thermal annealed …


Microwave Signal Generation Using Self-Heterodyning Of A Fast Wavelength Switching Sg-Dbr Laser, Michael A. Bernacil May 2008

Microwave Signal Generation Using Self-Heterodyning Of A Fast Wavelength Switching Sg-Dbr Laser, Michael A. Bernacil

Master's Theses

Microwave signal generation is demonstrated using a single-chip fast wavelength-tunable SG-DBR laser. Microwave signals are established by a delayed self-heterodyne technique. The optical frequency of the laser is square-wave modulated between two closely spaced wavelengths. These two wavelengths are made time coincident using a fiber based Mach-Zehnder interferometer. From the interferometer, the difference frequency is detected and amplified. The optical difference frequency takes on the form of a microwave signal that can be seen on an electrical spectrum analyzer. The hardware structure of the high-speed wavelength switching SG-DBR package is shown. The wavelength switching architecture and temperature robustness of the …


The Effects Of Target Age And Perceived Death Responsibility On Posthumous Impression Formations, Jenny Rebekah Heilborn Jan 2008

The Effects Of Target Age And Perceived Death Responsibility On Posthumous Impression Formations, Jenny Rebekah Heilborn

Master's Theses

Death positivity biases and posthumous evaluations are considered a universal normative social phenomenon which influences social judgments of the dead; we postulate that these individual biases are mediated by both sympathy and fear of mortality, or the belief in a just world. Study 1 postulated that sympathy mediates such positivity biases when target responsibility for cause of death is manipulated. We hypothesized the mediation of the just world violation on posthumous evaluatory measures when age at the time of death was manipulated in Study 2. Although results were inconclusive for both studies, alternate hypotheses and boundary conditions of death positivity …


The Burning And Reconstruction Of Chambersburg, Pennsylvania 1864-1870, Gordon Boyer Lawrence Jan 2008

The Burning And Reconstruction Of Chambersburg, Pennsylvania 1864-1870, Gordon Boyer Lawrence

Master's Theses

Although many studies of Chambersburg's devastation during the American Civil War have been researched, all have focused on the military actions taken by both sides during the conflict. This thesis instead attempts to explore some of the effects of military actions upon the permanent civilian population.

The Introduction develops a sense of the events which transpired in the town on the fateful day of July 30, 1864, provides an overview of potential research subjects, and details sources available to complete successfully the research parameters outlined. The early development of the community is explored in Chapter 1. This data is necessary …
