About the project
This project will investigate the synthesis of mixed anion thin films for transparent conductor applications, and will involve the synthesis and characterisation of novel molecular precursors to deliver the required elemental compositions and phases and make use of a range of thin film deposition techniques. This includes low pressure and aerosol assisted chemical vapour deposition and sol gel dip-coating.
You will help to develop this new thin film deposition methodology.
You will gain expertise in:
- inorganic synthesis
- NMR spectroscopy
- mass spectrometry for precursor characterisation
- X-ray diffraction
- scanning electron microscopy
- energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy
