Remote, Non-invasive, Optical Method of Temperature Detection
(2015-04-10)The focus of this thesis is the development of a remote, optically based, noninvasive, large working distance Raman method of temperature detection that relies upon observing the temperature-dependent phonon redshift. The ... -
Theoretical and Experimental Determination of Properties of NiO and Fe-doped NiO
(2017-07-27)In this era of fast advances in nanotechnology and electronics Ni has become an interesting element because its oxidized form possessing semiconducting properties is enabling several applications such as gas sensors, dyed ... -
High Performance Perovskite Photodetectors
(2017-07-25)Organohalide lead perovskite (CH3NH3PbI3) is a novel material with promising applicability for visible light photo-detectors. The ability to develop perovskite photodetector devices using a low temperature solution based ... -
Layer-By-Layer Films via 3D Drop on Demand Printing
(2014-07-10)The traditional method for making Layer-By-Layer films is a laborious, expensive, wasteful, and non-ecofriendly process; therefore this study was conducted to find a faster, more cost efficient, and non-wasteful method of ... -

Structural and magnetotransport study of SrTiO3-δ/Si structures grown by molecular beam epitaxy
(2013-12-02)SrTiO3 (STO) films were grown on p-Si (001) substrates using molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). Oxygen vacancies were introduced by controlling the Oxygen Pressure (PO2) that varied from 10-8 to 10-7 torr during growth, resulting ... -
Thermoelectric Property Study of N-Type PbTe

THE EFFECT OF ATOMIC OXYGEN ON THE FORMATION OF INDIUM TIN OXIDE THIN FILMS
(2013-09-09)Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) is a transparent conducting oxide that is used in at paneldisplays and optoelectronics. Highly conductive and transparent ITO lms arenormally produced by heating the substrate to 300 C during ... -
EXPOSURE TOOL FOR LITHOGRAPHY ON TILTED AND CURVED SURFACES USING SPATIAL LIGHT MODULATOR
(2013-08-22)This thesis is on research to develop a new laser lithography exposure tool for use on non-flat substrates. Such a tool does currently not exists as commercial equipment used in the electronic industry uses high numerical ... -
ELLIPSOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF SILICON NANOPARTICLES FORMED BY THERMAL ANNEALING
(2013-04-23)In this study, we investigate the surface morphology and optical properties of silicon nanoparticles formed on a silicon-on-insulator substrate by thermal annealing of a thin silicon layer. The annealing is performed using ... -
GROWTH CHARACTERIZATION OF RF MAGNETRON SPUTTERED BiFeO3 ON EPITAXIAL SrTiO3
(2013-04-22)BiFeO3, or BFO, is a multiferroic material that exhibits the simultaneous appearance of ferroelectric and antiferromagnetic properties. What makes this material unique is its ability to display this property at room ... -
First Principles Study of Structural, Electronic, and Mechanical Properties of Lead Selenide and Lead Telluride
(2013-04-26)Lead chalcogenides, most notably lead selenide (PbSe) and lead telluride (PbTe), have become an active area of research due to their thermoelectric properties. The high figure of merit (zT) of these materials has brought ... -
Quantitative Mobility Spectrum Analysis of III-V Heterostructures On Silicon
(2012-11-30)The continued scaling of Si CMOS devices as had been practiced by the electronics industry has reached the point where, alternative solutions to the conventional MOSFET device need to be found. There is widespread consensus ...
