My research program focuses on the fabrication and characterization of thin films for solar fuels applications. This application for a Rigaku SmartLab X-ray diffractometer bearing powder XRD focusing beam (FB) optics, thin-film parallel beam (PB) optics and X-ray reflectometry (XRR) is tailored to meet our needs of accurately measuring crystallinity, surface roughness and thickness of our thin films. The extent of film crystallinity and morphology has a direct impact on the performance of our solar energy conversion devices and this measurement system is uniquely equipped with to analyze the films with the requisite sensitivity. This equipment will be unique to the UBC campus, and will enable entry into fundamentally new areas of research that are otherwise inaccessible to us. The equipment will provide an invaluable tool to other research groups as well as industry.

我的研究项目主要集中在太阳能燃料应用薄膜的制造和表征。 理学SmartLab X射线衍射仪配备粉末XRD聚焦光束（FB）光学器件、薄膜平行光束（PB）光学器件和X射线反射仪（XRR），该应用程序是为满足我们精确测量薄膜结晶度、表面粗糙度和厚度的需求而定制的。 薄膜结晶度和形态的程度直接影响我们太阳能转换器件的性能，该测量系统配备了独特的设备，可以以必要的灵敏度分析薄膜。 这些设备将是UBC校园所独有的，并将使我们能够进入一些全新的研究领域。 该设备将为其他研究小组和工业提供宝贵的工具。
