Band Engineering of Perovskite Ferrite Epitaxial Thin Films for OER Catalysis 

Paudel, Rajendra (2022-07-28)
Reliable energy from renewable sources via oxidation of water requires an efficient electrocatalyst. The high cost, low abundance, and poor stability of the current noble metal based electrocatalyst are a primary obstacle ...

Electronic characterization of technologically relevant interfaces on beta Gallium Oxide and 4H-SiC wide bandgap semiconductors 

Jayawardena, Ganegama (2018-04-17)
Conventional silicon power device technologies are rapidly approaching their performance limits in power devices. Therefore, exploration of novel materials for next-generation power electronics is necessary. In this ...

Filament Morphology in Highly Magnetized Capacitively Coupled Low Temperature Plasmas 

Williams, Stephen (2023-08-04)
Due to the small charge-to-mass ratio of dust particles, it is often necessary to use large magnetic fields of B ≥ 1 T, in order to observe the influence of magnetic forces in laboratory dusty plasmas. However, when ...

Surface and Interfacial Studies of Perovskite Oxides Grown by Hybrid Molecular Beam Epitaxy 

Thapa, Suresh (2022-04-19)
Perovskite oxides are well known for their intriguing properties such as ferroelectricity, ferromagnetism, and superconductivity that can be tuned by different crystalline degrees of freedom. SrTiO3 (STO) is a perovskite ...

Synthesis and Characterization of Mn-based Spinels Grown by Molecular Beam Epitaxy 

Blanchet, Miles (2022-05-02)
A developed energy infrastructure that relies predominately on renewable energy is critical to the longevity of society. Water-splitting and fuel cell devices will have a place in this infrastructure, although this technology ...

Synthesis and Electrochemical Characterization of Ternary Metal Oxides 

Bredar, Alexandria (2021-04-14)
Metal oxides are an incredibly diverse class of materials that have found significant utility in the development of emerging solar conversion technologies. Their varied electronic properties allow them to function as charge ...

Transport Properties of 2D Heterostructures Determined via First Principles Calculations 

Pfeifle, Adam (2023-08-03)  ETD File Embargoed
Atomically thin, two-dimensional materials have demonstrated their great potentials in nanoelectronics due to their mechanical and optoelectronic properties. With atomic layers free of dangling bonds, these materials possess ...
