Radiation Hard and Self Healing Substrate Agnostic Nanocrystalline ZnO Thin Film Electronics (Per5 E)

Abstract

The objective of the effort was to advance the fundamental understanding of radiation induced changes in the electronic properties of metal-oxide (M-O) semiconductors with s-orbital dominated conduction bands because of their potential for radiation hardness and self-healing very different (and potentially better) than sp-hybrid bonded semiconductors. The effort has produced models based on experimental results regarding radiation-induced changes in wide bandgap ZnO films and devices. A combination of material deposition techniques and radiation induced changes on films with varied microstructures were studied.
