Journal Article
Yates, H., Afzaal, M., Walter, A., Hodgkinson, J., Moon, S., Sacchetto, D., …Ballif, C. (2016). Progression towards high efficiency perovskite solar cells via optimisation of the front electrode and blocking layer. Journal of Materials Chemistry C, 4(47), 11269-11277. https://doi.org/10.1039/C6TC04647A

The effects of fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) electrode, titanium dioxide (TiO2-x) blocking layer (BL) and perovskite (methyl ammonium lead triiodide) preparation on the overall properties of the photovoltaic cells have been studied. The FTO electro... Read More about Progression towards high efficiency perovskite solar cells via optimisation of the front electrode and blocking layer.

Translation effects in fluorine doped tin oxide thin film properties by atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition (2016)
Journal Article
Afzaal, M., Yates, H., & Hodgkinson, J. (2016). Translation effects in fluorine doped tin oxide thin film properties by atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition. Coatings, 6(4), 43. https://doi.org/10.3390/coatings6040043

In this work, the impact of translation rates in fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) thin films using atmospheric pressure chemical vapour deposition (APCVD) were studied. We demonstrated that by adjusting the translation speeds of the susceptor, the grow...

Optimised atmospheric pressure CVD of monoclinic VO2 thin films with picosecond phase transition (2016)
Journal Article
Gaskell, J., Afzaal, M., Sheel, D., Yates, H., Delfanazari, K., & Muskens, O. (2016). Optimised atmospheric pressure CVD of monoclinic VO2 thin films with picosecond phase transition. Surface and Coatings Technology, 287, 160-165. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.surfcoat.2015.12.090

Monoclinic vanadium oxide (VO2) thin films with low roughness values were deposited and optimised by atmospheric pressure chemical vapour deposition using vanadium tetrachloride (VCl4) and water (H2O). Smooth VO2 films with good transmittance propert... Read More about Optimised atmospheric pressure CVD of monoclinic VO2 thin films with picosecond phase transition.
