How do we construct narratives about ourselves, how are these narratives influenced by our religious lives, and how do these narratives look when they appear on the Inter[...]

Random anti-reflection surface structures (rARSS) are non-periodic, densely packed, sub-wavelength structures, fabricated on an optical surface. Light incident to such a [...]

In the field of optical metrology, there are many existing techniques for measurement of the surface profile or film thickness of a sample of interest. However, many of [...]

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

ABSTRACTThe objective of this thesis is to use two films: Marcos Loayza’s Cuestión de fe (1995) and Kief Davidson and Richard Ladkani’s The Devil’s Miner (2005) to analyz[...]

Random anti-reflection structured surfaces (rARSS) have been reported to improve transmittance of optical-grade fused silica planar substrates to values greater than 99%.[...]

The assembly of semiconductor nanocrystals into close packed films suitable for device engineering is critical to the development of next generation electronic and optoel[...]

Understanding exciton diffusion is a crucial step in the engineering and fabrication of organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices. We studied a variety of organic dyes in our re[...]

Valve malfunctioning is a serious concern in industries and other production units that rely on processes requiring controlled operation of valves. This thesis considers [...]
