STUDY OF HOMOGENEOUS THERMAL DECOMPOSITION OF TRIETHYLGALLIUM, TRIETHYLALUMINUM WITH AMMONIA AND TUNGSTEN DIMETHYLHYDRAZIDO COMPLEX USING IN SITU RAMAN SPECTROSCOPY AND COMPUTATIONAL CHEMISTRY By JOOYOUNG LEE A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATESCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2011 1 © 2011Jooyoung Lee 2 To my parents, wife and son 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First of all, I’d like to thank God. Whatever I do and however I do, He has been with me. I have been pleased to work with Dr. Anderson including all group members. Dr. Anderson always has kept his eyes on my research and has encouraged the progress. Due to his belief in my studies, I could finish my doctoral research. I have enjoyed discussion with group members and that always gives me good ideas and breakthroughs. The morning coffee with them refreshes my thinking and gives me energy to work efficiently. I feel five years in Gainesville is very short. My wife, Hankyung Seong, always has given encouragement and energy to my research and I’d like to dedicated this dissertation to her. My only son, Geon, has been everything to my family and I hope five years of Gainesville life would be his blessings from the heavenly God. 4 TABLE OF CONTENTS page ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
