0352805NaseemDescription: This award supports the US-India cooperative research entitled Investigating Metal Induced Crystallization on Thin Films of Amorphous Silicon. Professors Hameed Naseem, University of Arkansas and Ram Kishore, National Physical Laboratory (NPL), New Delhi will use characterization techniques including electron microscopy to investigate low temperature, aluminum induced solid phase crystallization of amorphous silicon. They expect to improve fundamental understanding of the basic science, including kinetics, of crystallization. Scope: The collaborators will employ complimentary strengths of the University of Arkansas in thin film processing and that of NPL in electron microscopy to study in real-time nucleation and growth mechanisms associated with crystallization behavior of amorphous silicon. They expect to develop new technologies that will reduce the amount of energy and material needed for a given end product and expand choices of low cost materials. They may be applications for lower cost photovoltaic and thermo-photovoltaic power generation options in large area liquid crystal flat panel displays and high-density TV application. Findings will be disseminated at international conferences and in scientific journals. This research is supported by the Department of Science & Technology (DST) under the NSF/DST joint program.

0352805 Naseem描述：该奖项支持美国和印度的合作研究，题为“非晶硅薄膜上金属诱导结晶的研究”。 阿肯色州大学的Hameed Naseem教授和新德里国家物理实验室（NPL）的Ram Kishore教授将使用包括电子显微镜在内的表征技术来研究非晶硅的低温、铝诱导固相结晶。 他们期望提高对结晶的基础科学的基本理解，包括动力学。 适用范围：合作者将利用阿肯色州大学在薄膜加工方面的互补优势和NPL在电子显微镜方面的互补优势，研究与非晶硅结晶行为相关的实时成核和生长机制。 他们希望开发新技术，减少特定最终产品所需的能源和材料，并扩大低成本材料的选择。 它们可以在大面积液晶平板显示器和高密度TV应用中用于较低成本的光伏和热光伏发电选项。 研究结果将在国际会议和科学期刊上传播。 这项研究是由科学技术部（DST）在NSF/DST联合计划下支持的。
