Electrochemical electrodes based on graphene materials for sensing and energy applications by Wang, Xuewan

“…We attempt to contribute new understanding and concepts on the design of graphene-based electrochemical electrodes mainly in terms of synthesis of multi-dimensional graphene structures, functionalization of these distinct graphene structures (e.g. compositing with metal oxides and heteroatom doping), and study of their physiochemical and electrochemical properties. …”

InAlN/GaN high electron mobility transistors on Si for RF applications by Xing, Weichuan

“…In fact, as the operating frequency increases into the mm-wave range by shrinking the gate length, the linearity is expected to degrade even further. This thesis mainly focuses on these two issues. Novel approaches are employed to resolve them and much improved device performance were obtained. …”
