  • Oxide phosphors deposited by activated reactive evaporation for ACTFEL device applications

    Creator:
    Yokoyama, Tomoe
    Abstract:
    The goal of this thesis study is to develop an activated reactive evaporation (ARE) system and to demonstrate its utility by fabricating-alternating current thin-film electroluminescent (ACTFEL) oxide phosphor devices. ARE entails evaporation in an activated gas. The main ARE system components are three thermal evaporation sources, a microwave power supply,...

  • An n-sheet, state-space ACTFEL device model

    Creator:
    Hitt, John C.
    Abstract:
    The objective of the research presented in this thesis is to develop, implement, and demonstrate the utility of an n-sheet, state-space alternating-current thin-film electroluminescent (ACTFEL) device model. In this model, the phosphor layer is discretized into n + 1 layers, with band-to-band impact ionization, space charge creation/ annihilation, and luminescent...

  • Investigation of the dimensional stability of an ultra-thin film gas/liquid contactor

    Creator:
    Peterson, Jerrod P.
    Abstract:
    The use of a permeable membrane to mechanically constrain a film of water with an area of 12 cm² and a thickness of 150 μm in a gas/liquid contactor was investigated. The membrane separated the vapor and liquid phases, and a stiffener plate made from a gas-permeable material was used...

  • Manufacture and characterization of novel ACTFEL materials and devices

    Creator:
    Bender, Jeffrey P.
    Abstract:
    The aim of this dissertation is to develop non-traditional approaches to alternating-current thin-film electroluminescent (ACTFEL) device fabrication. ACTFEL technology suffers from a lack of adequately bright and efficient primary-color phosphors and cannot presently compete in the low-cost display market. Therefore the research presented in this dissertation focuses on an exploration...

  • Electrically tunable thin-film inductors based on synthetic antiferromagnet cores

    Creator:
    An, Na
    Abstract:
    The objective of this research is to demonstrate the feasibility of implementing electrically tunable on-chip inductors based on synthetic antiferromagnet (SAF) cores. This thin film magnetic core is made of a magnetic bi-layer antiferromagnetically coupled through a nonmagnetic spacer layer. An energy model is developed to investigate the magnetic behavior...

  • Electrochemical deposition of thin film CuGaSe₂ for photovoltaics

    Creator:
    Permanasari, Rina
    Abstract:
    CuGaSe₂/CuInSe₂ tandem junction solar cell is currently being pursued to be a low cost and high efficiency renewable energy source. A reported theoretical efficiency of 33.9% solar cells has been the motivation to fabricate CuGaSe₂ films in a simple and low cost method. Electrodeposition is a potentially suitable method to...

  • Ferroelectric thin film development

    Creator:
    Harman, Taran V.
    Abstract:
    The long-term goal of the research project initiated with this thesis is the development of lead-free, fully-transparent ferroelectric devices, such as ferroelectric capacitors or ferroelectric-gate field-effect transistors. Ferroelectric materials exhibit spontaneous polarization with the application of an external electric field, which is persistent upon removal of the applied field, and...
