Fabrication and characterization of high surface area nickel-deposited graphite substrates
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)In certain electrochemical battery cells, inefficiencies arise due to the formation of hydrogen from corrosion reactions at the anode. One way to reduce these inefficiencies is to operate the cell at high current densities, ... -
Fabrication and characterization of Ni-Mn-Ga ferromagnetic shape-memory alloy composites
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)Ferromagnetic shape-memory alloys (FSMAs) are a recently-developed class of active materials which show large extensional strains when a magnetic field is applied. Shear strains of 6% have been observed at room temperature ... -
Fabrication and characterization of perpendicular magnetic anisotropy thin-film CoCrPt grown on a Ti underlayer
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)CoCrPt has potential applications as a memory storage technology because of its perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) characteristics. An underlayer can be used to ensure the out-of-plane magnetization required for PMA ... -

Fabrication and control of microfluidic devices for on-chip synthesis
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Introduction: In biological research today, there is great demand for synthesized biological compounds. The sequencing of the Human Genome has been completed, as well as that of many other organisms. Current work is now ... -
Fabrication and function of microfluidic devices for monitoring of in-vitro fertilization processes
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)The process of assistive reproduction is often a headache and heartache for those who choose to go through it. The field currently relies heavily on morphological characteristics to determine embryo health and development ... -
Fabrication and redesign of a meso-scale six-axis nano-positioner system
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)The industry's need for low-cost nano-positioners led MIT's Precision Compliant Systems lab to design a system of 10 six-axis meso-scale nano-positioners. They devised a system that could revolutionize the nano-scale ... -
Fabrication and testing of dual gate p-channel MOSFETs
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)In this thesis, I fabricated and tested p-channel dual gate MOSFETs that will be used to make conductance and resistance measurements of nanocrystalline solids. Using MOSFETs with narrow gates, we can measure the resistance ... -
Fabrication Methods for Polarized Light Collages
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021-06)In this thesis, we discuss the best methods of fabricating polarized art collages, inspired by the artwork of Austine Wood-Comarow that creates brightly colored images from cellophane, a colorless birefringent material, ... -
