Silicon nanospring films for multifunctional interfaces
… of thin films comprised of dense arrays of Si nanosprings and nanocolumns, and the mechanical and chemical lithiation properties of individual structures isolated from these films were investigated in this dissertation research. The nanostructured films, fabricated via Glancing Angle Deposition …

Mechanical behavior and environmental stability of GLAD-based Cu nanospring films
… were similar to the coil diameters of the Cu nanosprings. The mechanical behavior was quantified with experiments on individual Cu nanowires using a MEMS-based method for nanoscale mechanical property studies. The elastic modulus of pristine Cu nanowires with diameters in the range of 300-550 …

Hybrid Nanostructures for Artificial Machine Olfaction
<p>The detection of low level concentrations of particles in a gaseous environment is of importance to many fields, especially Homeland Security. The ability to identify ppb concentrations of explosives and their degradation products can aid in the detection of improvised explosive devices (IEDs), …

Mechanical response of spring films under compression and shear loading
Thin films of discrete micro and nanostructures fabricated by the method of Glancing Angle Deposition (GLAD) provide a means to build compliant interfaces that maintain important properties of the constituent materials, such as thermal and electrical conductivity while enabling interfacial …
