Chemical Vapor Deposition of Epitaxial Boron-Carbon-Nitrogen Thin Films 

Overview 

I work with a Hot-Wall Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) setup to grow and characterize Boron Nitride and Boron Carbide thin films. With a focus on investigating the chemistry and process parameters that affect the epitaxial growth of these material systems in CVD.

Thin Film Physics (TUNNF)

The research in our division concerns design of new multifunctional materials for hard and wear-resistant coatings, energy materials, magnetic materials, electronics, optics, neutron-converting materials, wide-bandgap semiconductors, and more.
