Dealloying NiCo and NiCoCu Alloy Thin Films Using Linear Sweep Voltammetry Research Advisor: Dr. Jennifer Hampton When electrodeposited into thin films, metals have unique and well-known electrochemical potentials at which they will be removed from the film. Theoretically, these potential differences can be utilized to re-oxidize only certain metals in an alloy, thus altering the …

Compton Scattering Cross Sections in Strong Magnetic Fields: Advances for Neutron Star Applications Research Advisor: Dr. Peter Gonthier Various telescopes including RXTE, INTEGRAL, Suzaku, and Fermi have detected steady non-thermal X-ray emission in the 10 – 200 keV band from strongly magnetic neutron stars known as magnetars. Magnetic inverse Compton scattering is believed to be …
