Growth mechanism study is important to achieve high-quality materials growth using more convenient approaches and to realize controlled growth with compositional and stru[...]

Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites are viewed as a cost-effective alternative for photovoltaic devices, among other applications. Solution and low-temperature processin[...]

This thesis outlines the synthesis and characterization of new asymmetrically substituted thiazolo[5,4-d]thiazole (TTz) compounds. This class of compounds contains a cent[...]

In this dissertation, we use theory and computation to conduct three projects in the area of nano-optics. In the first project, we study optical coherence conversion usin[...]

Motion is controlled via the excitatory or inhibitory responses of the motor pathway by receptors in Substantia Nigra of the brain, modulated by a main neurotransmitter d[...]

The conversion efficiency of conventional silicon (Si) photovoltaic cells has not been improved significantly during last two decades but their cost decreased dramaticall[...]

Almost all energy on Earth comes from the sun. Plants use it for photosynthesis, producing nourishment for animals and essentially humans, who not only need the sun for f[...]

A growth of a gadolinium oxide (Gd₂O₃) layer with (100) orientation on a Si(100) substrate was obtained for the first time using molecular beam epit[...]

In recent years, student centered approaches to learning has gained interest especially STEM based learning. It has led to educational policy and standards reforms includ[...]
