Understanding nanomechanical and surface ellipsometry of optical F-doped SnO2 thin films by in-line APCVD (2020)
Journal Article
Afzaal, M., Yates, H., Al-Ahmed, A., Ul-Hamid, A., Salhi, B., & Ali, M. (2020). Understanding nanomechanical and surface ellipsometry of optical F-doped SnO2 thin films by in-line APCVD. Applied Physics A, 126, 840. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00339-020-04033-z

In this paper, a production-type chemical vapour deposition (CVD) is utilized to deposit fluorine doped tin oxide thin films of different thicknesses and dopant levels. Deposited films showed a preferred orientation along the (200) plane of a tetra...

Flame assisted chemical vapour deposition of NiO hole transport layers for planar perovskite cells (2020)
Journal Article
Yates, H., Hodgkinson, J., Meroni, S., Richards, D., & Watson, T. (2020). Flame assisted chemical vapour deposition of NiO hole transport layers for planar perovskite cells. Surface and Coatings Technology, 385, 125423. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.surfcoat.2020.125423

Thin films of polycrystalline NiO were deposited by Flame Assisted Chemical Vapour Deposition, which is an ideal process for in-line, atmospheric pressure deposition of wide area coatings. This, along with the ability to use aqueous salts rather than... Read More about Flame assisted chemical vapour deposition of NiO hole transport layers for planar perovskite cells.
