Epitaxial Growth Of Semiconductors And Chiral Metal Surfaces Using Spin Coating And Electrodeposition, Meagan V. Kelso
Doctoral Dissertations
"The current primary methods for epitaxial growth are energy intensive, requiring high temperature or high vacuum to obtain quality thin films. This dissertation explores the solution process methods of electrodeposition and spin coating for growth of epitaxial thin films. First, a method is developed to directly electrodeposit epitaxial CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite for solar cells on single crystal Au by electrochemically reducing I2 in organic solution. Perovskite is a newly explored material for solar cells, and its efficiency may be further improved by increasing the crystalline order. Second, a study on epitaxially electrodeposited chiral metal surfaces …
