  • Solution deposition and characterization of the thin film inorganic materials

    Creator:
    Özmen, Bahar
    Abstract:
    The general emphasis of this work has been synthesis, characterization, and applications of n- and p-type inorganic oxide thin films that are deposited from solutions. In particular, a study of n-type transparent semiconductor films of tin (IV) oxide and zinc-doped tin (IV) oxide has been performed by spin coating. Solution...

  • A new trigonal huntite material and subgroup relationships between crystallographic space groups

    Creator:
    Hruschka, Michael Archimedes and Hruschka, Michael A.
    Abstract:
    The use of an adjacency matrix to determine distant (not maximal or minimal) subgroup and supergroup relationships between crystallographic spacegroup types is described. Full lists of space-group types that are supergroups and subgroups for every space-group type were compiled. A list of the space-group types connected to each space-group type...

  • Reaction Pathways of Oxo-Hydroxo Group 5 Clusters to Metal Oxide Thin Films

    Creator:
    Mansergh, Ryan H.
    Abstract:
    Oxo-hydroxo Group 5 metal clusters are an untapped resource to study and advance aqueous solution processing of metal oxide thin films. The tetramethylammonium (TMA) hexatantalate salt (TMA6[H2Ta6O19]) yields dense Ta2O5 films (~95% of the bulk ß-Ta2O5 density) with atomically smooth surfaces (<4 Å root mean square surface roughness). This same...

  • Refractory Amorphous Metal Thin Films

    Creator:
    Olsen, Kristopher R.
    Abstract:
    Amorphous metal thin films lack the grain boundaries and dislocations present in crystalline metal films. As a result, amorphous metal films can be more mechanically robust, atomically smooth, and more resistant to chemical attack than crystalline metals. However, amorphous metals are meta-stable and subject to crystallization upon heating, thus limiting...

  • Synthesis and study of transparent p- and n-type semiconductors and luminescent materials

    Creator:
    Park, Cheol-Hee
    Abstract:
    New transparent p- and n-type semiconductors and luminescent materials have been prepared and characterized. Synthesis, structures, optical and electrical properties of new chalcogenide fluoride p-type transparent semiconductors MCuQF (M=Ba, Sr; Q=S, Se, Te) are described. Band-gap tuning and improvement in conductivity through p-type doping are demonstrated in the family. The...

  • Photoresist and ion-exchange chemistry of HafSOx

    Creator:
    Telecky, Alan J.
    Abstract:
    The chemistry of hafnium oxide based and materials are described in the context of ion exchange and lithography. HafSOx, represented by the composition HfO₂₋[subscript x](SO₄)x, is described to possess a significant capacity towards ion exchange in acidic and basic solutions, enabling films of HafSOx to be cleanly and readily be...

    Creator:
    Platt, Heather A. S.
    Abstract:
    This dissertation outlines two approaches for improving the efficiency and reducing the cost of photovoltaic energy generation. First, the structures of known binary copper and iron compounds are used to choose the promising compositions Fe₂XS₄ (X = Si, Ge), Cu₃TaQ₄ (Q = Se, Te), and BaCuQ'F (Q' = S, Se,...

  • Luminescent sulfides and solution-deposited oxide thin films

    Creator:
    Anderson, Jeremy T.
    Abstract:
    Solid state luminescent sulfides are prepared as powders in order to elucidate the relationship between structure and light emission. While the sulfides studied in this dissertation are known phosphors, materials are investigated in a variety of new ways. Elementary properties and structures of MgS are reviewed, and preparation of MgS...

    Abstract:
    The subject of this PhD thesis is part of a research domain of great present interest in new semiconductor materials for photovoltaic and thermoelectric applications. This domain contains the elaboration and the study of both Cu-based chalcogenides bulk and thin-film samples, driven by materials design principles. One of the most...
