Synthesis of guanidinium-functionalized amphiphiles for the exploration of chaotropic supramolecular nanoribbons
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021)
Nanoscale self-assembly driven by the hydrophobic effect is of intense research interest due to the ability to synthesize complex, chemically diverse structures with molecular length scales. Supramolecular self-assemblies ...
Magnetic and Spintronic Properties of Rare-Earth Iron Garnets
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021-06)
Rare earth iron garnets (REIG) can be grown as thin films with strain-induced perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA), and their potential for spintronic device applications has been studied extensively in recent years. ...
Digital Fibers: Materials, Processing, and Information
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021-06)
Ubiquitous computation has influenced a broad array of domains from manufacturing to drug discovery and from communications to machine learning. While the capabilities of computing platforms have progressed dramatically, ...
New Methodology to Model Metal Chemistry at High Temperature
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021-06)
There is currently a lack of ability to predict which species will be reduced at the cathode and what purity will be achieved during metal electrodeposition. Problems related to co-deposition and contamination are usually ...
Size Effects in Shape Memory Ceramics
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021-06)
Bulk shape memory ceramics (SMCs) are attractive for their high transformation temperatures and transformation stresses compared to shape memory metals but exhibit transformation-induced cracking due to mismatch stresses ...
Designing and Fabricating 3D Nanostructures through Directed Self-Assembly of Block Copolymers
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021-09)
Intricate designs of 3D nanostructures are needed in different research areas. Our current techniques for fabrication of 3D structures are limited by either length scale or efficiency. Compared to the conventional methods ...
Design of Superelastic Secondary-Phase-Toughened Alloys
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021-09)
