    Creator:
    Jing, Qun
    Abstract:
    Photoluminescence (PL) materials have attracted a lot of attention in last several decades. Recently PL materials, which can convert low-efficiency Ultraviolet (UV) or Infrared (IR) light to high-efficiency visible light, have been widely applied in the research of improving conversion efficiency of solar cell. As one of the most common...

  • Low-temperature, Inkjet-printed p-Type Copper(I) Iodide-based Thin-Film Transistors

    Creator:
    Gorecki, Jenna Y.
    Abstract:
    Inkjet-printed p-type copper(I) iodide-based TFTs were successfully fabricated. As-printed copper(I) halide semiconductor films, such as CuI, CuBrI, and CuClI, were used as p-type active channel layers for TFTs. The entire process of the TFTs fabrication was maintained under 150 °C, which is compatible with flexible plastic substrates and transparent glass...

  • Synthesis of Mg-MOF-74 thin film on optical support and its potential application in gas sensing

    Creator:
    Sun, Hao
    Abstract:
    Mg-MOF-74 is one type of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) that is widely known for its excellent CO2 uptake capacity. More intriguingly, it can be used to detect low levels of toxic gas such as CO2. Currently, most research into Mg-MOF-74 focuses on using the powder type as a CO2 absorbent because...

  • An Investigation on Nanoscale-shape-mediated Coupling Between Temperature and Densification in Intense Pulsed Light Sintering of Silver Nanoparticles

    Creator:
    Bansal, Shalu
    Abstract:
    In Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) sintering, pulsed large-area visible light from a xenon lamp is absorbed by nanoparticle films or patterns and converted to heat, resulting in rapid sintering of the nanoparticles. This work experimentally characterizes IPL sintering of silver nanoparticle films. A newly observed turning point in the evolution...
