On the subject:
Nanoscale Photonic and Photo-Electrochemical Behavior of Group IV Semiconductor Structures
This talk will summarize recent work from our group on two topics 1) photo-generated carrier dynamics in single crystal germanium nanowire arrays, and 2) the application of atomic layer deposition to protect silicon absorbers from corrosion during water splitting, while simultaneously provided good electrical connection to an overlying catalyst layer. The first topic is related to future application of germanium nanostructures in integrated photonics. The second has applications in renewable synthesis of fuels and chemicals.
