Epitaxial films have a variety of important applications including semiconducting and
superconducting devices. However, the application of epitaxy is typically limited by the …

We describe the fabrication of crystallographically preferred oriented TiO2 anatase
nanotube arrays (p-NTAs) and the characterization of their photovoltaic properties. The …

Hydrogenated amorphous silicon thin films manufactured by plasma deposition techniques
are widely used in electronic and optoelectronic devices. The optical and electrical …

We demonstrate heteroepitaxial growth of single-crystalline-like n and p-type doped GaAs
thin films on inexpensive, flexible, and light-weight metal foils by metal-organic chemical …

High efficiencies have been achieved in photovoltaic cells based on III–V compounds grown
on single crystal germanium substrates. Since the size of these substrates is limited and …

This unique book covers the fundamental principle of electron diffraction, basic
instrumentation of RHEED, definitions of textures in thin films and nanostructures …

Thin‐film transistors (TFTs) grown on a flexible glass substrate using single‐crystal‐like
germanium (Ge) channel to simultaneously achieve high carrier mobility, high performance …

We propose a new approach to growing photovoltaic-quality crystal silicon films on glass.
Other approaches to film Si focus on increasing grain size in order to reduce the deleterious …

In this report, we present a detailed study of the microstructural and opto-electronic
properties of single-crystalline-like n-type GaAs thin films directly grown on inexpensive …

Molybdenum films were observed to undergo a dramatic change in crystal texture
orientation when the incident flux angle was varied in an oblique angle sputter deposition on …
