Hybrid Organic-inorganic halide perovskites are emerging semiconducting materials that have shown over 23% in power conversion efficiency (PCE) for solar cells. The most prominent materials, three-dimensional (3D) perovskites, have limited scope for structural engineering and exhibit instability when encounter with moisture and heat. Here, we focus on studying the structure-property...
This dissertation describes the invention and development of a new nanolithographic method: On-Wire Lithography (OWL). OWL is a simple, reproducible, and high-throughput procedure for the synthesis and lithographic processing of metal nanowires (i.e. Au, Ag, Pt, Ni, and Cu) that allows researchers to control the morphology and feature size of...
