Advanced Techniques For Carbon Nanotube Templated Microfabrication, Jason Matthew Lund Dec 2019

Advanced Techniques For Carbon Nanotube Templated Microfabrication, Jason Matthew Lund

Theses and Dissertations

Carbon nanotube templated microfabrication (CNT-M) is a term describing a grouping of processes where carbon nanotubes (CNTs) serve a structural role in the fabrication of a material or device. In its basic form, CNT-M is comprised of two steps: produce a template made from carbon nanotubes and infiltrate the porous template with an additional material. Vertically aligned carbon nanotube (VACNT) templates can be grown to heights ranging from microns to millimeters and lithographically patterned to a desired form. Deposition of an existing thin film material onto a CNT template will coat all template surfaces and can produce a near solid …


In Situ Chemical Probing Of Vacancy Defects In Graphene And Boron Nitride At Room Temperature, Ali Ihsan Altan May 2019

In Situ Chemical Probing Of Vacancy Defects In Graphene And Boron Nitride At Room Temperature, Ali Ihsan Altan

Theses and Dissertations

IN SITU CHEMICAL PROBING OF VACANCY DEFECTS IN GRAPHENE AND BORON NITRIDE AT ROOM TEMPERATURE

by

Ali Ihsan Altan

The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 2019

Under the Supervision of Professor Jian Chen

Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) has emerged as the most promising technique towards manufacturing of large area, high quality graphene. Characterization, understanding, and controlling of various structural defects in CVD-grown graphene are essential to realize its true potential for real-world applications. We report a new method for in situ chemical probing of vacancy defects in CVD-grown graphene at room temperature. Our approach is based on a solid–gas phase reaction that …
