Photovoltaic technologies use light from the sun to create electricity, using a wide range of materials and mechanisms. The generation of clean, renewable energy using this technology must become price competitive with conventional power generation if it is to succeed on a large…

The various thin film systems studied in this dissertation are outlined in Chapter one. Two groups of nitride and oxide thin film semiconductors were studied. The nitride group includes c-InxGa1- xN (x = 12, 19, and 55%), c-(In0.06 Ga0.94N/GaN)-SLs, and a-In0.74B0.26 N. The oxid…

Advances in materials research and manufacturing techniques are rapidly allowing more complex and interesting functional electromagnetic applications to be brought to fruition. Electromagnetic application development within all frequency bands ranging from infrared to radio and …
