Analyzing the Kinetics and Thermodynamics of Surface Reactions using Density Functional Theory

Creator:

Sprowl, Lynza H.

Abstract:

The interactions of chemical species with a solid surface play a role in many everyday applications such as heterogeneous catalysis, corrosion, and degradation reactions. Understanding the reaction kinetics and thermodynamics via rate constants and equilibrium constants, which require knowledge of the adsorbed species’ entropy, is essential for tuning these surface...

Controlling the Co-Precipitation of Colloidal PbSe Quantum Dots and Their Device Performance in a Diode Architecture

Creator:

McCrea, Tyler D.

Abstract:

In this work, colloidal PbSe quantum dots (QDs) are shown to be synthesized in a controlled manner by changing the growth time and reaction temperature in a microwave synthesis method. It is explained why quantum dots make such a unique material to create electronic devices and the specific benefits that...
