New materials called functionally graded materials (FGMs) have qualities that gradually alter in relation to their dimensions. This collection of materials represents a significant advancement over earlier composite material. FGM is made up of two or more components that work together to produce the qualities necessary for the intended use. This ar...
Diplomsko delo sestoji iz trenutnih znanstvenih spoznanj o grafenu, njegovi sintezi, vrstični elektronski mikroskopiji in reakciji redukcije kisika ter eksperimentalnega dela, ki sem ga izvedla z grafenom na osnovi teh metod. Kemijsko naparevanje iz parne faze je eden izmed možnih načinov proizvodnje grafena, ki je cenovno ugoden, primeren pa je tu...

Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal chalcogenides have attracted enormous attention due to their stunning properties and great prospects for applications. Most of the reported 2D materials have layered structure, and non-layered transition metal chalcogenides are rare. Particularly, chromium chalcogenides are highly complexed in terms of structur...

Silicon nitride (SiN) has surged into prominence as a material for photonic-integrated circuits (PICs) in the past decade, well regarded for its broadband transparency, compatibility with complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) fabrication processes and high optical bandgap that avoids two-photon absorption. However, current fabrication meth...

Heterogeneity of MoS 2 in HER : The catalytic activity for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) of large‐area MoS2 sheets transferred in a wet process was analysed by means of scanning electrochemical cell microscopy. A lateral heterogeneity of the activity on the MoS2 sheets could be revealed. However, no discernable differences were recorded bet...
Successful ways of fully exploiting the excellent structural and multifunctional performance of graphene and related materials are of great scientific and technological interest. New opportunities are provided by the fabrication of a novel class of nanocomposites with a nanolaminate architecture. In this work, by using the iterative lift-off/float-...
In this paper, a new approach for the synthesis of Parylene–metal multilayers was examined. The metal layers were derived from a metal salt solution in methanol and a post-drying plasma reduction treatment. This process was designed as a one-pot synthesis, which needs a very low amount of resources and energy compared with those using electron beam...

This work aims at extending the understanding of the formation processes of (Cs0.07FA0.93)PbI3 perovskite layers deposited by a two-step vapour method. In a first step, an inorganic CsI/PbI2 precursor stack is deposited by thermal evaporation (TE). A chemical vapour deposition (CVD) is then used to convert the precursor into the perovskite layer by...
The chemical vapour deposition (CVD) technique could be used to fabricate a silicon carbide (SiC) epitaxial layer. Methyltrichlorosilane (CH3SiCl3, MTS) is widely used as a precursor for CVD of SiC with a wide range of allowable deposition temperatures. Typically, an appropriate model for the CVD process involves kinetic mechanisms of both gas-phas...

There is a pressing need for reliable, reproducible and accurate measurements of graphene’s properties, through international standards, to facilitate industrial growth. However, trustworthy and verified standards require rigorous metrological studies, determining, quantifying and reducing the sources of measurement uncertainty. Towards this effort...
