Owing to the growth of its applications, including solar cells, electrochromatic windows, and especially active channel layers in thin film transistors (TFTs), amorphous indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) has become an area of significant research interest. In particular, a low temperature solution based fabrication route for IGZO would enable greater application as it would decrease manufacturing costs, enable large area deposition, and make IGZO compatible with low temperature substrates. Here, a previously unreported nanocluster was synthesized in solution. In addition to characterizing the solution with dynamic light scattering, it was used as an inorganic aqueous precursor for solution deposition of IGZO thin film. Scanning electron microscopy and X-ray reflectometry revealed that films were dense and that solution precursors had sufficient metal concentration to yield films up to 15 nm thick per layer. Quartz crystal microbalance analysis and infrared transmittance spectroscopy revealed that processing temperatures of 200-250°C were sufficient to remove counter ions from the film, a significant improvement over existing sol-gel routes that necessitate the removal of organic ligands. Finally, TFT devices that were fabricated using IGZO as the active channel layer displayed high performance. In particular, a composition of In:Ga:Zn=69:12:19 yielded an average channel mobility of 15.2 cm²V⁻¹s¹, a turn-on voltage of ∼-40 V, and an on/off current ratio of> 10⁶. en_US University of Oregon University of Oregon theses, Dept. of Chemistry, Honors College, B.S., 2014; All Rights Reserved.

This thesis works to illuminate the hidden abuse of migrant domestic workers in Malaysia and analyze ways to better protect and promote their rights as workers, wom-en, and humans, deserving of dignity and respect. Though the path of migration of these women from Cambodia to Malaysia is often viewed as one of voluntary relocation for employment, I aim to reframe the process as one that, all too often, involves practices of human trafficking and results in situations of isolated, forced labor and conditions of slavery. Throughout my research I use a human rights framework to move away from the use of a victimizing lens to describe the vulnerable women, and consider instead issues of empowerment, humanization, and reclamation of personal agency. en_US University of Oregon University of Oregon theses, Dept. of International Studies, Honors College, B.S., 2014; All Rights Reserved.

In order to distance herself from a family history tainted with religious conflict and potential illegitimacy, Elizabeth I established during her reign an iconographic tradition in painting and literature whereby her identity was split into two personas, one as the righteous Protestant monarch and another which represented Elizabeth as a virtuous lady intrinsically separate from her status as queen. It is this second persona that is the focus of this study. Elizabeth used her court painters to develop an iconographic system whereby her identity as a soul filled with the grace of God, a persona which I have named the “Lady Elizabeth,” legitimized her right to rule, effectively cutting her off from the rest of the Tudor line. Visually, Elizabeth invoked this identity in order to emotionally direct her court, forcing them to characterize through commissioned portraits her virtuous soul as the true source of her right to rule. These same portraits appear in Edmund Spenser’s allegorical portrait of the Elizabethan court, "The Faerie Queene," as the most prevalent explanation of Elizabeth’s separation of virtuous self and monarchial duty. en_US University of Oregon University of Oregon theses, Dept. of English, Art History, Honors College, B.A., 2014; All Rights Reserved.
