This dissertation presents the combined results of analytical, computational and experimental study of the effects of surface texture and nanoscale surface oxides on the optical and mechanical properties of silicon single ...

This work presents the results of a combined experimental, computational and analytical study of the effects of adhesion and deformation on stretchable electronic structures. First, atomic force microscopy is used to measure ...

Solar energy, with its abundance and availability, would ultimately replace dwindling fossil fuel reserves in this new era of cleaner and more efficient energy as the world surges on to new technologies and horizons. This ...

The organic-inorganic halide perovskite solar cells have continued to attract serious research interest since the first introduction as solar light absorber by Miyasaka and co-workers with a power conversion efficiency ...

The increasing needs for clean and sustainable energy stimulate the growing interest in photovoltaic (PV) technology using organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite materials. However, perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are faced ...
