Atmospheric pressure glow discharge plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition of titania and aluminium based thin films (2009)
Thesis
Hodgkinson, J. Atmospheric pressure glow discharge plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition of titania and aluminium based thin films. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

Atmospheric pressure glow discharge (APGD) plasma CVD was used to deposit thin films of titania at 200 °C using two different precursors. The resulting films were characterised using techniques including XPS, RBS and XRD. It was established that...

Novel precursors for the growth of TiO2 by liquid injection MOCVD (2009)
Thesis
Clarke, C. Novel precursors for the growth of TiO2 by liquid injection MOCVD. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

A comprehensive examination of the feasibility of producing new titania precursors by ligand substitution reactions involving the reaction between titanium tetra-isopropoxide and various dimethylamino alcohols has resulted in the synthesis, charact...

The growth and characterisation of supported metal catalysts prepared by novel chemical vapour deposition methods (2008)
Thesis
Hussain, S. The growth and characterisation of supported metal catalysts prepared by novel chemical vapour deposition methods. (Thesis). University of Salford

A novel TCVD procedure was employed for the preparation for the preparation of supported gold catalysts using dimethyl gold acetylacetonates Me 2 Au(acac) as the volatile precursor. Preliminary experiments on the use of TCVD for the preparation of...

Combustion CVD : exploration of potential for optical thin film synthesis (2006)
Thesis
Gutierrez, G. Combustion CVD : exploration of potential for optical thin film synthesis. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

The aim of this PhD was to undertake a study of combustion chemical vapour deposition (combustion CVD or CCVD) for the optical thin film materials synthesis. The most common variables for thin film formation were investigated, e.g. precursor volat... Read More about Combustion CVD : exploration of potential for optical thin film synthesis.
