  • Synthesis, characterization and deposition of dendrimers using a continuous flow microreactor

    Creator:
    Liu, Shuhong
    Abstract:
    Dendrimers are nanoscale macromolecules that have highly branched, core-shell structures. Higher generation dendrimers have close-packed peripheral functional groups and a hollow interior. The chemistry of the core and the terminal functionalities can be tailored according to the specific application. These structural characteristics provide room for the design of dendrimers to...

  • Characterizations of silicon-germanium nanocomposites fabricated by the marine diatom Nitzschia frustulum

    Creator:
    Liu, Shuhong
    Abstract:
    Marine diatoms are a class of microalgae that possess cell walls composed of silica nanoparticles. These organisms actively assimilate silicic acid Si(OH)4 from seawater, polymerize silicic acid to silica nanoparticles by a protein-mediated precipitation process, and then assemble the silica nanoparticles into intricate patterns that constitute the cell wall microarchitecture...

  • Growth and characterization of zinc ferrite thin films for high frequency applications

    Creator:
    Hu, Jiqing
    Abstract:
    Ferrites have been used for various high frequency applications as bulk materials. These applications, however, are limited to large dimension devices. In this thesis, thin film ferrites were deposited from a low temperature solution-based deposition process that is suitable for micro-scale high frequency applications. The low temperature nature of this...

  • Low-temperature, Inkjet-printed p-Type Copper(I) Iodide-based Thin-Film Transistors

    Creator:
    Gorecki, Jenna Y.
    Abstract:
    Inkjet-printed p-type copper(I) iodide-based TFTs were successfully fabricated. As-printed copper(I) halide semiconductor films, such as CuI, CuBrI, and CuClI, were used as p-type active channel layers for TFTs. The entire process of the TFTs fabrication was maintained under 150 °C, which is compatible with flexible plastic substrates and transparent glass...

  • Growth, Characterization and Applications of Zinc Sulfide Thin Films by Solution-Based Processes

    Creator:
    Chiu, Dick
    Abstract:
    Zinc Sulfide (ZnS) thin film, with a wide band gap, has been used for many applications, such as buffer layer for CIGS solar cells, light emitting diodes and thin film electroluminescent devices. In this work, ZnS thin films were prepared using two different deposition processes. In the first method, ZnS...

  • A Fabrication Process and Analysis of ZnO-ZnS-Sb₂S3₃ Thin Film Solar Cells

    Creator:
    Catherall, David
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this research is to provide a simple fabrication method for zinc oxide and antimony sulfide based thin film solar cells. Both a ZnO nanorod electron conducting structure and a stibnite absorber show promise in a solar cell. Initial attempts at using only ZnO and Sb2S3, however, resulted...

  • Growth, Characterizations, and Applications of Patterned Nanostructured Thin Film

    Creator:
    Gao, Zhongwei
    Abstract:
    A unique microreactor-assisted nanomaterial synthesis and printing process was studied for the fabrication of patterned metal oxide nanostructured thin films. The process uses a continuous flow microreactor to control and generate a reactive chemical flux that was transported to a patterned microfluidic channel. The microreactor-assisted nanomaterial synthesis process can generate...

  • Investigation of Magnesium Dioxybenzenedicarboxylate (Mg-DOBDC) Thin-film Deposition onto Modified Glass Substrates

    Creator:
    Haning, Evan J.
    Abstract:
    Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are crystalline compounds formed from reacting a metal ion with an organic ligand. They represent a promising new avenue in materials science for gas separations and storage. Certain MOFs, in particular Mg-MOF-74, have shown a strong affinity for the capture of CO2. This project investigated a known...

    Creator:
    Pan, Changqing
    Abstract:
    As a group of promising semiconductor materials, metal chalcogenides in thin film form have been widely used in electronics and optoelectronics applications, such as solar cell devices and photon sensors. Unfortunately, the film size and product throughput are limited by the current vacuum-based thin film deposition techniques. Solution-based thin film...
