Abstract Details

2007, Master of Science (MS), Ohio University, Physics (Arts and Sciences).
This thesis presents a transmission electron microscope fitted with a home designed and built nano manipulator for novel in situ experimentation. The selectivity and nano scale manipulation capabilities of the manipulator were tested on zinc oxide nanorods. Further experimentation was performed on grown gallium oxide nanobelts prepared in an argon gas flow at 950 degrees centigrade. A nanobelt was selected for deformation with the manipulator and a series of manipulations and corresponding diffraction patterns were collected. Preliminary analysis shows trends in the diffraction patterns corresponding to lengthening and contracting of lattice constants ‘a’ and ‘c’ by a maximum of 3 and 5 Angstroms respectively.
