KeywordsL10 phase, iron platinum thin films, electron diffractionCollegePhysical and Mathematical SciencesDepartmentPhysics and AstronomyAbstractIron platinum is an exciting material being studied for its magnetic properties for possible use as the material in magnetic memory storage (e.g. hard drive). Why use iron platinum? In today’s technological world of ever decreasing dimensions, the hunt is on for mechanisms and materials that will allow electronic devices to become smaller and smaller.

Keywordsmechanical properties, carbon nanotube, templated materialsCollegePhysical and Mathematical SciencesDepartmentPhysics and AstronomyAbstractCarbon nanotubes have an unusually high strength-to-weight ratio and thus present an exciting material for use in reinforcing the structural integrity of microstructures. However, despite their desirable properties, carbon nanotubes have proved difficult to incorporate in materials as strengthening elements.

Keywordstitanium dioxide, transmission electron microscope, GaN, Gallium NitrideCollegePhysical and Mathematical SciencesDepartmentPhysics and AstronomyAbstractThe original title submitted for my research was “Stacking Faults in GaN”. This study was aimed at employing the use of the Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) to understand and image defects in the crystal lattice of Gallium Nitride (GaN) that lead to stacking faults.
