  • Characterization of CoGe Thin Films and Powders

    Creator:
    Pfau, Andrew James
    Abstract:
    Cobalt germanides have been widely studied as semiconductor contact materials, but recent theoretical studies suggest that they may also be excellent catalysts for methane steam reforming with stabilities and activities comparable to noble metal catalysts. In order to study the catalytic activity of cobalt germanides, it is critical to first...

  • Investigation of oxide semiconductor based thin films : deposition, characterization, functionalization, and electronic applications

    Creator:
    Rajachidambaram, Meena Suhanya
    Abstract:
    Nanostructured ZnO films were obtained via thermal oxidation of thin films formed with metallic Zn-nanoparticle dispersions. Commercial zinc nanoparticles used for this work were characterized by microscopic and thermal analysis methods to analyze the Zn-ZnO core shell structure, surface morphology and oxidation characteristics. These dispersions were spin-coated on SiO₂/Si substrates...

  • 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...

  • Metal Oxide Cluster Chemistries for Next Generation Nanomanufacturing

    Creator:
    Frederick, Ryan T.
    Abstract:
    Metal oxide clusters are promising inorganic photoresists in next generation nanomanufacturing because of their potential for high-resolution and low line-edge roughness patterning, and exceptional sensitivity to extreme ultraviolet (EUV) radiation. In EUV patterning, absorption of EUV radiation leads to electron emission that serve as a primary species for driving radiation...

  • Solution-based nanomaterials and thin films for next generation electronics

    Creator:
    Oleksak, Richard P.
    Abstract:
    Nanomaterials are expected to enable significant advances in several technological fields in coming years. Among them, electronics has emerged as one of the most likely benefactors from the ability to control matter on the nanometer-scale. For many electronic devices synthesized nanomaterials must be integrated into thin film structures. Vapor-based deposition...

  • 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...

  • Device Fabrication and Characterization for Biological and Radiation Sensing

    Creator:
    John, Stebby Varghese
    Abstract:
    Amorphous indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) thin film transistors (TFT) has revolutionized the display industry enabling smaller pixel sizes and higher refreshing rates than traditional amorphous Si: H TFTs. These attributes of IGZO were leveraged to make a field-effect sensing (FES) platform capable of sensing various biomarkers. The sensitivity and...
