Analyzing the Composition of CuInO and TiO2 Semiconductor Films Using Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry
As the electronics industry continues to flourish, there is a high demand for semiconductors with novel or unexplored properties. Collaborators at Union Christian College in Aluva, India have produced CuInO thin films and TiO2 nanotube films to investigate their semiconducting properties. These films are of interest due to their potential for use in solar cells. They have several properties that lend themselves to this, such as CuInO’s transparency and TiO2’s use as a photoanode. These films were analysed using Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry (RBS), a technique where a focused ion beam penetrates into a layered sample and undergoes elastic collisions with atomic nuclei in the sample. RBS allows one to determine the elemental composition at differing depths within the film. This information was checked against elemental composition data taken with Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS/EDX). EDS provides an elemental composition but lacks any depth information. Using the elemental composition information from RBS, concentration gradients were constructed showing the changes in relative concentration of key elements in the films. This analysis also provided evidence for interface layers in the CIO samples where copper and indium had diffused from the film into the substrate
Stage Managing The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams
The stage manager is a role that requires organizational skills, composure, and confidence to help a production run smoothly. In February of 2018, Hope College put The Glass Menagerie, by Tennessee Williams, on their stage. I accepted the role of stage manager and began my work immediately. My job was to organize and lead production meetings, run rehearsals, gather and share information, and keep everyone involved in the process updated and informed. This project will show stage management documentation of The Glass Menagerie from the beginning of the production to the end
Synthesis of 5,6-Diaminoacenaphthylene by Reduction of Sterically Crowded Nitro Groups with Sodium Dithionite
5,6-Diaminoacenaphthylene was synthesized in four steps from acenaphthene. This seemingly simple molecule provides unique synthetic challenges because it is relatively difficult to reduce the nitro groups and the molecule contains a particularly reactive double bond. It was determined that the only feasible sequence for the synthesis was to nitrate acenaphthene, then brominate, eliminate, and finally selectively reduce. Several reduction methods were attempted before finding one that would completely reduce both nitro groups while leaving the double bond intact
The Anchor, Volume 131.21: April 11, 2018
The Anchor began in 1887 and was first issued weekly in 1914. Covering national and campus news alike, Hope College’s student-run newspaper has grown over the years to encompass over two-dozen editors, reporters, and staff. For much of The Anchor\u27s history, the latest issue was distributed across campus each Wednesday throughout the academic school year (with few exceptions). In recent years The Anchor moved to monthly print issues and a more frequently updated website. The Anchor is now published in print twice per academic semester. Occasionally, the volume and/or issue numbering is irregular
