Developing cuprous oxide thin film characterization techniques to illuminate efficiency-limiting mechanisms in photovoltaic applications
… 20%. The present work aims to develop a thorough characterization method for Cu₂O thin films fabricated through a physical vapor deposition (PVD) process known as reactive direct-current magnetron sputtering. This both provides a platform for material analysis and an opportunity to adapt a …

Energetic Deposition of Niobium Thin Film in Vacuum
Niobium thin films are expected to be free of solid inclusions commonly seen in solid niobium. For particle accelerators, niobium thin film has the potential to replace the solid niobium in the making of the accelerating structures. In order to understand and improve the superconducting performance …

Edible photonic crystals tunable within the visible regime
… to selectively reflect wavelengths of light within the visible spectrum and allow for dynamic color changes through the tuning mechanism of swelling its agar layers with the addition of edible solvents. After doing a literature search to discover which materials were available to create this …

Europium oxide as a perfect electron spin filter
… the spins during tunneling. High-quality EuO films at the monolayer level is necessary for efficient spin-filtering. Because non-ferromagnetic, insulating Eu20 forms more readily, growth of an ultra-thin, high-quality film is quite challenging, which restricted previous studies of EuO to bulk …

Chemical Detection and Sensing Using Optical Interferometry
… the gas phase or from an aqueous solution into a thin film is frequently accompanied by a change in material refractive index and film thickness. While the undesired swelling of thin film coatings and their refractive index changes affect their use in harsh environments, the sensitivity of some …
