    Beta-gallia rutile intergrowth materials (BGRs), a homologous series following Ga4Tin-4O2n-2 (15 ≤ n ≤ 25, odd), were investigated as potential n-type thermoelectric device candidates given their structural similarities ...
  • Defective Manganese and Vanadium Oxide Nanosheets for Electrochemical Supercapacitors 
    Gao, Peng (New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University. Inamori School of Engineering., 2018-08)
    Electrochemical supercapacitors, which can provide higher power density than batteries and higher energy density than electrostatic capacitors, have received great attention in recent years as promising alternative energy ...
  • The Effects of Excess Sodium and Sintering Parameters on Ionic Conductivity of Zinc Stabilized β"-Alumina 
    Fredell, Anastasia (New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University. Kazuo Inamori School of Engineering., 2015-04)
    Sodium β”-alumina is used in batteries due to its high ionic conductivity. This work studied the effect of excess sodium on the grain size, sintering behavior, and ionic conductivity of zinc stabilized β”-alumina. Two ...
  • Electron Microscopy of X7R and Y5V Type Barium Titanate Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors with Noble and Base Metal Electrodes 
    Feng, Qiquan (New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University. Kazuo Inamori School of Engineering., 2004-12)
    Two types of multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs), Y5V with Ni electrodes and X7R with Ag electrodes, were mainly characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) using tripod polishing specimens and ion milled ...
  • Experimental and Theoretical Investigations of Glass Surface Charging Phenomena 
    Agnello, Gabriel (New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University. Inamori School of Engineering., 2016-04)
    Charging behavior of multi-component display-type (i.e. low alkali) glass surfaces has been studied using a combination of experimental and theoretical methods. Data obtained by way of a Rolling Sphere Test (RST), ...
  • Improvement of Thermoelectric Oxides for a Simple Thermoelectric Generator 
    Dvorak, Claire (New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University. Kazuo Inamori School of Engineering., 2015-09)
    Three thermoelectric compositional series, n-type Ga3-xIn5+xSn2O16, p-type Ca3-xSrxCo4O9, and p-type Ca3-yAgyCo4O9 were synthesized using solid state techniques. Comparisons of thermoelectric properties for Ga3-xIn5+xSn2O16 ...
  • The Interaction of DNA with Nano-Structured Beta-Gallia Rutile Intergrowths 
    Empie, Nathan (New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University. Kazuo Inamori School of Engineering., 2006-10)
    The demand for viable methods to fabricate nano-devices has driven research into the realm of molecular self-assembly. This thesis outlines a procedure to synthesize betagallia rutile (BGR) substrates capable of ...
  • P-Type Transparent Conducting Oxides Synthesized by Electrohydrodynamic Process 
    Liu, Yin (New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University. Inamori School of Engineering., 2017-05)
    The aim of this work is to fabricate a p-type CuAlO2 conducting oxide via electrospinning process and to develop a new photoluminescence (PL) functionality by introducing trivalent dopants. The proposed trivalent doping ...
  • A Study on the Defect Chemistry of Barium-Strontium-Cobalt-Iron-Oxide System 
    Jung, Jae-Il (New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University. Kazuo Inamori School of Engineering., 2010-07)
    BSCF, or Ba0.5Sr0.5Co0.8Fe0.2O3-δ, is a well known mixed electronic and ionic conductor (MEIC) that has been considered as potential cathode for intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells (IT-SOFCs). Initial 4-point ...
