  • Down-Shifting Nanoparticles and Anti-reflective Nanoparticles Co-Coating Applied on Top Glass Cover of Silicon-Based Solar Panels

    Creator:
    Jing, Qun
    Abstract:
    Photoluminescence (PL) materials have attracted a lot of attention in last several decades. Recently PL materials, which can convert low-efficiency Ultraviolet (UV) or Infrared (IR) light to high-efficiency visible light, have been widely applied in the research of improving conversion efficiency of solar cell. As one of the most common...

  • Experimental Study of Nucleate Boiling Bubble Dynamics and Heat Transfer Enhancement on Printed Bi-functional Surfaces

    Creator:
    David, Michele
    Abstract:
    Boiling heat transfer is studied for its ability to dissipate high fluxes and achieve heat transfer coefficients two orders of magnitude greater than single-phase heat transfer systems. Heater surface enhancement with increased surface area, varied geometry, wettability contrast and micro/nano-structures can further enhance boiling heat transfer performance through bubble nucleation...

  • Functional materials for advanced energy and electronic devices

    Creator:
    Flynn, Brendan T.
    Abstract:
    Advances in energy technologies and electronics have typically occurred through either heightened performance or cost reduction. This dissertation explores both routes through a series of fundamental material studies that may contribute to the enabling of next generation devices. Solution based syntheses and deposition of chemical products offer a low cost...

  • Synthesis, surface treatment, and characterization of copper indium sulfide quantum dots

    Creator:
    Alemu, Yagenetfere A.
    Abstract:
    The need for less toxic quantum dots (QDs) has led to a significant number of investigations related to copper indium sulfide (CIS) QDs. Lower toxicity and broad band absorbance width makes CIS QDs appealing for light emitting diodes (LEDs), lasers, sensors, bio-imaging, solar cells, and computing. The optical and electronic...

  • Surface Characterization of Engineered Biomaterials

    Creator:
    Faase, Ryan A.
    Abstract:
    The work presented in this dissertation highlights the various techniques available to characterize the increasingly complex surfaces of engineered biomaterials. The methods used range from the simple measurement of a contact angle with a smartphone to a complex synchrotron technique like near edge x-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy to...
