Information storage using nanoscale electrodeposition of metal in solid electrolytes

Programmable metallization cell (PMC) memory is based on the electrochemical control of nanoscale quantities of metal in thin films of solid electrolyte. It shows great promise as an ultrascalable solid state non-volatile memory as it requires low programming voltage and current, and has the ability for the storage cells to be physically sized at minimum lithographically defined dimensions. Sca...

Analyzing Nanoscale Magnetic Materials

As the advance of technology, the manufacturing process of materials has moved forward from the scale of micrometer to sub-micrometer and nanometer. Combining nanotechnology and traditional magnetic materials, nanoscale magnetic materials can be created for applications in biomedical examination and therapy as well as data recording to increase the storage space of a computer. The topic of usin...

Polypeptide-Based Nanoscale Materials

Self-assembly has emerged as a promising technique for fabrication of novel hybrid materials and nanostructures. The work presented in this thesis has been focused on developing nanoscale materials based on synthetic de novo designed polypeptides. The polypeptides have been utilized for the assembly of gold nanoparticles, fibrous nanostructures, and for sensing applications. The 42-residue poly...
