Compositionally graded alloys fabricated using the laser powder bed fusion technique by Wei, Siyuan

“…In this study, among the several available AM processes, the LPBF technique is selected to fabricate compositionally graded alloys, as it has higher spatial resolution and lower cost, compared to directed energy deposition (DED) and electron beam powder bed fusion (EBPBF). With three different LPBF setups and four alloy systems examined in this study, the following objectives are achieved: (i) screening out, from a large range of compositions, the alloys that are amenable to LPBF, (ii) examining the effects of the LPBF characteristics, e.g., rapid cooling rate, on the micro-/meso-structure and properties of the fabricated parts with varying chemical compositions, and (iii) evaluating the fabrication methods in terms of types of achieved gradation (stepwise or smooth), efficiency, and level of chemical segregation. …”

Synthesis and characterization of Cu-Chalcogenide nanocrystals for potential applications in low-cost solar cells by Ahmadi, Mahshid

“…Since the opto-electrical properties of the NCs are highly dependent on the composition and crystal structure, X-ray diffraction, selected area electron diffraction, convergent beam electron diffraction and Raman spectroscopy were used to determine their crystal structure. …”

Design and analysis of passive phase shifters using controllable defected ground structures in 65nm CMOS technology for 77-81 GHz automotive radar by Wu, Jiaqi

“…Phased array radar is a low cost and promising technique to achieve high angular resolution by scanning a narrow beam in azimuth. The key enabler of a phased array radar is the phase shifter, which provides a progressive phase difference in each channel to achieve beamforming. …”

Solution processed transition metal oxides selective contacts for Si heterojunction solar cells by Lu, Chenjin

“…In this work, we have first prepared hole selective contacts using solution processed MoOx (s-MoOx) by spin-coating and physical evaporated MoOx (e-MoOx) by electron beam evaporator. The performance of the s-MoOx/Si HSC has been investigated and optimized, which has been demonstrated solar cell efficiency of 12.5% for s-MoOx/Si HSC that is comparable to efficiency of 13.3% for e-MoOx/Si HSC. …”

Methods of growth and transfer of carbon nanotubes onto substrates for advanced electrical and electronic applications by Ng, Zhi Kai

“…However, the main concern of CNT growth on non-planar substrates is the uneven­­ deposition of catalysts due to the direction dependence of the E-beam deposition method. In this context, a dip-coating method for catalyst deposition is developed and optimised to synthesize CNT on GF. …”

Development of highly efficient organic and perovskite solar cells by Li, Xianqiang

“…The top Au electrodes are normally deposited by vacuum deposition methods, such as thermal evaporator and E-beam evaporator. The vacuum deposition methods increase the fabrication costs of organic solar cells and perovskite solar cells and are not compatible with roll-to-roll manufacturing process. …”

Printing of functional materials in 2D and 3D structures by Halevi, Oded

“…One of the common denominators of the various chapters in this work is that by relying on chemical principles such as synthesis rules, phase separation considerations and crystallization processes, printing process control was successfully gained over the deposition and the arrangement of the materials in the confined structures. …”

2DEG enhancement via epilayer stress engineering in AlN/GaN/AlN heterostructure by Patwal, Shashank

“…This was followed by the growth and characterization of AlN/GaN/AlN double heterojunction (DH) HEMT layer structures on semi-insulating 4H-SiC substrates by plasma assisted molecular beam epitaxy (PA-MBE). The higher thermal conductivities of AlN and 4H-SiC are likely to improve heat dissipation, thus providing greater thermal stability and lesser device deterioration due to self-heating. …”
