Development and analysis of ZnO-based semiconductor photodetectors for UV detection
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)The objective of this thesis is to develop ZnO-based semiconductor photodetectors for UV detection with low dark current, high responsivity, and fast response time. To achieve this objective, an understanding of carrier ... -
Fundamental building blocks of nanoporous networks from ultra-small-angle x-ray scattering (USAXS) and small-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) experiments
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)A new method of structural analysis that measures the nominal dimensions of pores using ultra-small-angle x-ray scattering (USAXS) and small-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) data is presented. The characterization technique ... -
Probing extragalactic dust through gamma-ray burst afterglows
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are the most powerful explosions in the universe and a very interesting phenomenon in themselves. The gamma-rays and the X-ray flashes (XRFs) are the manifestations of the most violent, cataclysmic ...
