We study dynamical processes at CdTe surfaces using ab initio metadynamics simulations. The c(2X2) to (2X1) transition of the Te-terminated (001) surface is found to involve a "c(2X2) + (2X1)" intermediate, consistent with experiment, and crossing of simil ...
We investigated the effect on the electronic properties of aluminum (Al)-zinc oxide (ZnO) films by modulating the radio frequency sputtering power. Our experimental results show that increasing the sputtering power increases the Al doping concentration, de ...
Polymeric materials suffer from chain degradation due to the absorption of ultraviolet (UV) light. Nevertheless, many polymers show excellent optical transmission properties in the visible range and are suitable replacements for glass. Coating of polymers ...
The topic of this dissertation is embedded into the new-born field of inorganic nanowires. The research was focused on zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowires, in particular, which besides posing fundamental questions in physics, promise broad range of applications. Zn ...
A complete six degree of freedom (6 DOF) force/torque sensor has been designed and fabricated, adapted to wrist rehabilitation applications, with the focus laid on simple, straightforward manufacturing processes. This paper details the mechanical design, 3 ...
Different types of inorganic oxide films composed of a chemical composition gradient single layer were designed, fabricated and characterized. Compositionally graded thin films were created by power-controlled co-sputtering of alumina (Al2O3) and silica (S ...
The analysis of transparent conducting oxide nanostructures suffers from a lack of high throughput yet quantitatively sensitive set of analytical techniques that can properly assess their electrical properties and serve both as characterization and diagnos ...
By addition of Si to a binary transition metal nitride MN (e.g. TiN, ZrN, NbN, CrN), the hardness, thermal stability and chemical inertness of films have been considerably improved. The formation of a ternary M–Si–N ternary phase is possible under specific ...
We investigate the nucleation and growth of two cobalt alloys (CoWB and Pd-CoWP) used to encapsulate copper interconnects. We demonstrate that very uniform deposits are obtained across 300 mm wafers, with accurate thickness control. However, large local th ...
This work presents analyses and developments in nanofabrication using stencil lithography and its application for electronics and biosensing. Metallic nanostructures are fabricated using stencil lithography studying the pattern transfer from the stencil to ...
