Abstract:
In this thesis, gas sensors based on on-chip hydrothermally grown 1-D zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructures are presented, to improve the sensitivity, selectivity, and stability of the gas sensors. Metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) gas sensors are well-established tools for the monitoring of air quality indoors and outdoors. In recent years, the use of 1-D metal oxide nanostructures for sensing toxic gases, such as nitrogen dioxide, ammonia, and hydrogen, has gained significant attention. However, low-dimensional nanorod (NR) gas sensors can be enhanced further. Most works synthesize the NRs first and

Abstract:
 Zinc oxide (ZnO) is a wide band gap (3.4eV at 300K) II-VI semiconductor with an exciton binding energy up to 60meV and is promising in the realization of excitonic or polaritonic lasing effect. Photoluminescence is widely used in studying the band gap and defect levels of ZnO. However, understanding in defects of ZnO is still far from satisfaction and remains controversial. Different authors suggest different explanations and mechanisms.  In the present study we investigate in the photoluminescence spectra of four kinds of ZnO single crystal, namely as-grown (not implanted) Zn-face polished

Nanowire structure plays an important role in the development of nanotechnology.

To this end, a chemical approach has been extended to the synthesis ZnO nanocones and platelets. With UV illumination, the synthesis of ZnO nanocones was achieved on GaN

Abstract:
Solar cells have extrinsic losses from a variety of sources which can be minimized by optimization of the design and fabrication processes. Reflection from the front surface is one such loss mechanism and has been managed in the past with the usage of planar antireflection coatings. While effective, these coatings are each limited to a single wavelength of light and do not account for varying incident angles of the incoming light source. Three-dimensional nanostructures have shown the ability to inhibit reflection for differing wavelengths and angles of incidence. Nanocones were modeled and sh

Nanotoxicology is a nascent field of study concerned with the potential for nanotechnology to adversely impact human health or result in ecological damage.

There are a growing number of examples of nanomaterials functioning differently in biosystems compared to the parent bulk material.

Abstract:
As humanly engineered materials systems approach the atomic scale, top-down manufacturing approaches breakdown and following nature's example, bottom-up or self-assembly methods have the potential to emerge as the dominant paradigm. Synthesis of one-dimensional nanomaterials takes advantage of such self-assembly manufacturing techniques, but until now most efforts have relied on high temperature vapor phase schemes which are limited in scalability and compatibility with organic materials. The solution-phase approach is an attractive low temperature alternative to overcome these shortcomings.

Abstract:
Metal oxide nanolaminate films are potential high temperature solid lubricants due to their ability to exhibit significant plasticity when grain size is reduced to the nanometer scale, and defective growth structure is achieved by condensation of oxygen vacancies to form intrinsic stacking faults. This is in contrast to conventional microcrystalline and single crystal oxides that exhibit brittle fracture during loading in a sliding contact. This study emphasizes the additional effect of growth orientation, in particular crystallographic texture, on determining the sliding friction behavior i

Furthermore, the stability of the exciton (binding energy 60 meV) in this material, can lead to lasing action based on exciton recombination and possibly exciton interaction, even above room temperature.
