Description
In this project, advanced functional materials will be developed utilising chemical vapor deposition (CVD) methods. The material structures will be analysed using X-ray techniques (XPS, XRD) and advanced microscopy (SEM, TEM).
A working knowledge of CVD, advanced microscopy with the background of semiconducting nanomaterials would be of benefit to someone working on this project.
Eligibility
To be eligible, you must meet the entry requirements for a higher degree by research.
