Fall 2012
Glancing angle deposition (GLAD) is a physical vapour deposition (PVD) technique capable of fabricating highly porous thin films with controllable film morphology on the 10 nm length scale. The GLAD process is flexible and may be used on virtually any PVD-compatible material. This makes GLAD a...

Fall 2012
This thesis outlines several new approaches to fabricating improved organic solar cell (OSC) designs. Glancing angle deposition (GLAD) was used to grow thin films of metal phthalocyanine (MPc) materials with columnar morphologies suitable for use in OSCs. Advanced substrate motion techniques were...

Spring 2012
Glancing angle deposition (GLAD) was used to fabricate nanostructured TiO$_2$ capacitive relative humidity (RH) sensors. These sensors exhibit sub-second response times and large sensitivities, but are susceptible to ageing. Ultraviolet (UV) treatment of the sensors has been found to reverse...
