Wide band gap semiconductors and insulators : synthesis, processing and characterization

Creator:

Hersh, Peter A.

Abstract:

The work presented here is focused on applying basic principles of solid-state chemistry to the study and development of new wide band-gap semiconductors and insulators for photovoltaic and electronic-device applications. Analysis of crystal structure, band structure, optical band gap, morphology and transport properties provides fundamental insight into materials performance as...

Precursor Chemistry and Film Structure and Properties via Solution Deposition

Creator:

Huang, Yu

Abstract:

Chemistry of preparing dense film from solution deposition is explored with several cases in this thesis. Surface dense structure, conversion at melting point, and ion exchange in aqueous solution are the main topics covered here for the thin films of aluminum oxide phosphate and tin dioxide. Thin film density, optical...

On the Properties and Characteristics of Solution Processed Hafnium Based Thin-Films from Aqueous Precursors

Creator:

Decker, Shawn R.

Abstract:

Aqueous hydroxo Hf nanoclusters enable studies to identify and codify steps in the deposition of Hf-based oxide thin films from solution precursors. HfOCl2 reacts with combinations of H2O2(aq), acids, and TMAH to produce polymetal species at high pH and low pH. X-ray scattering and spectroscopic methods reveal the nature of...
