USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Since the isolation of graphene in 2004, two-dimensional (2D) layered materials, specially the transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), have attracted immense interest from theoreticians and experimentalist due to the diversity of properties presented in this family of materials. The main reason for the interest in such materials has been the observation of emergent properties as a consequence of the reduced dimensions, i.e. the monolayer regime. Initially the monolayer regime was obtained via the scotch-tape method. The implementation of exfoliation techniques was successful since layered 2D materials are composed of stacked layers held together by weak van der Walls forces that permits …

Ultralow-Light-Level Color Image Reconstruction Using High-Efficiency Plasmonic Metasurface Mosaic Filters, Ximing Ren

Materials Science and Engineering Faculty Publications and Presentations

As single-photon imaging becomes progressively more commonplace in sensing applications such as low-light-level imaging, three-dimensional profiling, and fluorescence imaging, there exist a number of fields where multispectral information can also be exploited, e.g., in environmental monitoring and target identification. We have fabricated a high-transmittance mosaic filter array, where each optical filter was composed of a plasmonic metasurface fabricated in a single lithographic step. This plasmonic metasurface design utilized an array of elliptical and circular nanoholes, which produced enhanced optical coupling between multiple plasmonic interactions. The resulting metasurfaces produced narrow bandpass filters for blue, green, and red light with peak transmission …

Automatic Delamination Segmentation For Bridge Deck Based On Encoder-Decoder Deep Learning Through Uav-Based Thermography, Chongsheng Cheng, Zhexiong Shang, Zhigang Shen

Department of Construction Engineering and Management: Faculty Publications

Concrete deck delamination often demonstrates strong variations in size, shape, and temperature distribution under the influences of outdoor weather conditions. The strong variations create challenges for pure analytical solutions in infrared image segmentation of delaminated areas. The recently developed supervised deep learning approach demonstrated the potentials in achieving automatic segmentation of RGB images. However, its effectiveness in segmenting thermal images remains under-explored. The main challenge lies in the development of specific models and the generation of a large range of labeled infrared images for training. To address this challenge, a customized deep learning model based on encoder-decoder architecture is proposed …

Materials Science and Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

The resistive switching properties of HfO2/ZrO2 nanolayers with the total thickness of 16 nm prepared using atomic layer deposition (ALD) were investigated. Current-voltage behavior, pulse time mode measurement, retention and endurance tests were carried out to characterize the memristive (memory-resistive) properties. Resistive switching was observed in all nanolayer stacks, and the set voltage (Vset) decreased with increasing the number of layers (i.e., increasing number of hafnia-zirconia interfaces). Grazing incidence x-ray diffraction (GI-XRD) results demonstrate that the hafnia transforms from monoclinic to orthorhombic crystal structure during the post metallization annealing.
