Fabrication and Characterization of Nanowires and Quantum Dots for Advanced Solar Cell Architectures
(University of Waterloo, 2012-05-01)The commercially available solar cells suffer from low conversion efficiency due to the thermalization and transmission losses arising from the mismatch between the band gap of the semiconductor materials and the solar ... -
Growth Control and Manipulation of Morphology, Crystallinity, and Physical Properties of Tin (IV) Oxide Nanostructures: Granular Nanocrystalline Films and One-Dimensional Nanostructures
(University of Waterloo, 2011-09-30)A variety of nanostructures of tin (IV) oxide (TO) are synthesized using two fabrication methods: a solution spin-coating method followed by post-annealing in an oxygen flow and a newly developed catalyst-assisted pulsed ... -
Nanowire Quantum Dots as Sources of Single and Entangled Photons
(University of Waterloo, 2014-01-21)Realization of linear quantum computation and establishing secure quantum communication among interacting parties demand for triggered quantum sources delivering genuine single and entangled photons. However, the intrinsic ... -
Quantum Optoelectronic Detection and Mixing in the Nanowire Superconducting Structure
(University of Waterloo, 2010-01-20)The recent advancement of superconducting nano devices has allowed for making a Superconducting Nanowire Single Photon Detector (SNSPD), whose extraordinary features have strongly motivated the research community to exploit ...
