Veronica thanks for the hard work and dedication to our family while I attend graduate school. Petergail and PJ, I hope lessons I have learned I can pass on to you that you may achieve goals greater than those I aspired for. If you invest in your education, it will remain with you for the rest of your life. My greatest contribution I want to leave to you is to passionately follow your dreams, for in them lies your destiny. I finally dedicate this manuscript to my mother Rachel Miller, my late grandmother Mable Miller, Harolene Wilkinson, and Myrtis Spenser. Thanks for all the love, nurturing and support that you have given to me throughout my life. Love always. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS With greatest gratitude, I would like to thank the members of my graduate committee Dr. Jim Zheng, Dr. Yan Xin, Dr. Simon Foo, Dr. Hui Li and Dr. Juan Ordonez for their time and service on my committee. I am very thankful to my advisor Dr. Jim Zheng for all the non-academic and academic guidance and support that he has given to me during my graduate studies. This work would not have been completed without the substantial support and involvement of Dr. Jim Zheng and Dr. Yan Xin. Apart from the academic portion of my studies my advisor has given me tremendous personal support for which, with great gratitude I would like to say, thank you. I am very grateful to Dr. Foo for always making himself available for fruitful discussions. Dr. Hui Li has been a great inspiration to me and is a personification of what a great teacher should be like. I am grateful to Dr. Eric Lochner at the Physics Department at Martech for his time taken to train me on how to use SEM and to take x-ray measurements. I am thankful to have worked with such great colleagues in the lab, Dr. Xu Wang, Dr. Lenwood Fields, Dr. Author Pun, Dr. Young Wang, and Huazhong Wang. I would also like to thank Mrs. Alison Stuart in the Office of Financial Aid at Florida State University for making sure that I received the necessary financial support while I completed my studies. Mr. Eric Sapronetti, Ms. Donna Butka, Mr. Donte Ford, and Ms. Andrea Nelson thank you for your wonderful service to the Electrical and Computer Engineering department. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF
