Advanced methods in Glancing Angle Deposition to control thin film morphology, microstructure and texture
DownloadSpring 2014
Structuring of material on the nanoscale is enabling new functional materials and improving existing technologies. Glancing angle deposition (GLAD) is a physical vapor deposition technique that enables thin film fabrication with engineered columnar structures on the (10 to 100) nm scales. In this...

This dissertation describes the use of a novel Pt deposition to prepare nickel- and carbon-supported platinum catalysts. The deposition is referred to herein as the platinum counter electrode deposition. The source of platinum is the sacrificial dissolution of a blacked platinum counter electrode...

Engineering Considerations for the Design of High Performance Zinc Oxide Thin Film Transistors
DownloadSpring 2018
Zinc oxide (ZnO) thin film transistors (TFTs) are garnering significant interest recently due to their unique combination of high optical transparency, moderately high electron mobility, good stability, and compatibility with low temperature processing. If a low temperature processed, high...
