Melskens, J. (author), Eijt, S.W.H. (author), Schouten, M. (author), Vullers, A.S. (author), Mannheim, Awital (author), Schut, H. (author), Macco, Bart (author), Zeman, M. (author), Smets, A.H.M. (author)The nanostructure of hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) is studied by means of doppler broadening positron annihilation spectroscopy (DB-PAS) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The evolution of open volume deficiencies is monitored during annealing, demonstrating that small vacancies and other small vacancy clusters that...journal article 2017

Scorticati, D. (author), Illiberi, A. (author), Bor, T. (author), Eijt, S.W.H. (author), Schut, H. (author), Römer, G.R.B.E. (author), De Lange, D.F. (author), Huis in 't Veld, A.J. (author)Post-deposition annealing by ultra-short laser pulses can modify the optical properties of SnO2 thin films by means of thermal processing. Industrial grade SnO2 films exhibited improved optical properties after picosecond laser irradiation, at the expense of a slightly increased sheet resistance [Proc. SPIE 8826, 88260I (2013)]. The figure of...journal article 2014

(author)The effect of temperature controlled annealing on the confined valence electron states in CdSe nanocrystal arrays, deposited as thin films, was studied using two-dimensional angular correlation of annihilation radiation. A reduction in the intensity by ?35% was observed in a feature of the positron annihilation spectrum upon removal of the...journal article 2009

Singh, S. (author), Eijt, S.W.H. (author)We report ab initio calculations based on density-functional theory, of the vacancy-mediated hydrogen migration energy in bulk NaH and near the NaH(001) surface. The estimated rate of the vacancy mediated hydrogen transport, obtained within a hopping diffusion model, is consistent with the reaction rates of H-D exchange in nano-NaH at the...journal article 2008

Eijt, S.W.H. (author), De Roode, J. (author), Schut, H. (author), Kooi, B.J. (author), De Hosson, J.T.M. (author)Coimplantation of Zn and O ions into a single crystalline MgO and subsequent thermal annealing were applied in the synthesis of ZnO nanocrystals. Electron microscopy showed that rocksalt instead of wurtzite ZnO stabilizes for relatively large nanocrystals up to ~15?nm, resulting from its small lattice mismatch with MgO of ~1.7%. The vacancies...journal article 2007
