Rapid transportation electrification and growing market demand for portable consumer
electronics call for revolutionary solid-state Li metal batteries that combine safety and …

A methodology to miniaturize mechanical tests of metal alloys based on membrane
deformation was developed in this investigation. The buildup of this new path for …

Xenon plasma-FIB micromachining has been used for relatively rapid (10-20 minutes)
production of intrinsic Fabry-Perot cavities in fused silica single and multimode fibers without …

The research activity of this Ph. D. thesis is grounded is founded by the European Interreg
ITA-SLO NANOREGION project. The mission of NANOREGION was to provide a scientific …

The research presented in this thesis was co-funded by the Engineering and Physical
Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and Roll-Royce plc, as part of the EPSRC Centre for …

The rapid ascent of perovskite photovoltaics over the past decade has enabled this
technology to now stand on the cusp of commercialisation. However, a successful entry into …

In this work, a low-temperature fabrication process of thin film encapsulation (TFE) with
silicon nitride/chromium cap is proposed for large-size (750 µm x 300 µm) packaging of …

There is substantial concern about the phase change to artificial ferrite or martensite in
commercial austenitic stainless steels during intense focused-ion-beam milling. In this work …

Silicon surfaces functionalized with electrochemically-active metal complexes and clusters
are an important family of functional interfaces. These systems have shown promise for solar …
