Graduate PhD Dissertations:

Close-Spaced Vapor Transport and Photoelectrochemistry of Gallium Arsenide for Photovoltaic Applications

Author: Andrew J. Ritenour Full Paper PDF Abstract: The high balance-of-system costs of photovoltaic installations indicate that reductions in absorber cost alone are likely insufficient for photovoltaic electricity to reach grid parity unless energy conversion...

Structure-Composition-Activity Relationships in Transition-Metal Oxide and Oxyhydroxide Oxygen-Evolution Electrocatalysts

Author: Lena Trotochaud Full Paper PDF Abstract: Solar water-splitting is a potentially transformative renewable energy technology. Slow kinetics of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) limit the efficiency of solar-watersplitting devices, thus constituting a hurdle to...

Undergraduate Theses:

Photovoltaic Properties of the Gallium Arsenide-PEDOT:PSS Interface

Author: Richard Charles Cramer Full Paper PDF Abstract: This thesis reports studies on the interface between GaAs and the conductive polymer poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) in a planer Schottky diode architecture. The temperature...

A Low Temperature Aqueous Solution Processing Route for IGZO Thin Films Employing Electrochemically Synthesized InGaZn Clusters

Author: Mahkah Z. B. Wu Full Paper PDF Abstract: Owing to the growth of its applications, including solar cells, electrochromatic windows, and especially active channel layers in thin film transistors (TFTs), amorphous indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) has become an...
