Welding of Semiconductor Nanowires by Coupling Laser-Induced Peening and Localized Heating by Kelly M. Rickey (19568770)

“…The characterization results indicate that solely laser peening or sintering can only moderately improve the thin film quality; however, when coupled together as laser peen sintering (LPS), the electrical conductivity enhancement is dramatic. LPS can decrease resistivity up to a factor of ~10,000, resulting in values on the order of ~105 Ω-cm in some cases, which is comparable to CdTe thin films. …”

Novel Concrete Mix for 3D Concrete Printing with Special Functions by Malek Omar Mohammad (20433575)

“…Another limitation of concrete use in modern construction is that the degree of architectural freedom is restricted to standard geometric structures. To address some of the limitations of conventional concrete construction, the proposed research develops a novel concrete material that possesses better thermal insulation properties, which can decrease energy consumption during the building’s operational phase, and is applicable for 3D concrete printing (3DCP), which removes the need for formwork, increases building design flexibility, and can improve the environmental effect. …”
