Advisor: Prof. Ernst (Co-advisor: Prof. Pirouz) Office: 615 White Phone: (216) 368-1459 Email: jec30@case.edu
Background:B.S., Chemistry, Cleveland State University, 2002
PhD Student, Dept. of Materials Science & Eng., Case Western Reserve University (Spring 2003-Present)
Research Interests:Liquid Phase Deposition of CuInSe2
Thermal Analysis of Materials
Transmission Electron Microscopy
Projects:With the aid of the ternary equilibrium phase diagram of the Cu-In-Se system, thin film growth is attempted on to suitable substrates by the precipitation of CuInSe2¬ directly from a melt. All resulting films are analyzed with the aid of SEM (scanning electron microscopy), XEDS (X-ray energy-dispersive spectroscopy), TEM (transmission electron microscopy), and XRD (X-ray diffractometry).
