      Dicker D.; Nguyen G.; Abate D.; Abate K.H.; Abay S.M.; ... more authors ( Elsevier B.V. , 2018 , Article)
      Background Assessments of age-specific mortality and life expectancy have been done by the UN Population Division, Department of Economics and Social Affairs (UNPOP), the United States Census Bureau, WHO, and as part of ...
    • Highly transparent low sheet resistance electrodes for solar cell applications 

      Shikoh A.; Popelka A.; Touati F.; Benammar M.; Zhu Z.; ... more authors ( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2014 , Conference Paper)
      High aspect ratio copper nanowires were synthesized, using a solution-based approach. The nanowires along with reduced graphene oxide thin films were sprayed onto glass and flexible substrates and later annealed in order ...
    • Metal nanowire-graphene composite transparent electrodes 

      Mankowski T.S.; Zhu Z.; Balakrishnan K.; Shikoh A.S.; Touati F.; ... more authors ( SPIE , 2014 , Conference Paper)
      Silver nanowires with 40 nm diameter and copper nanowires with 150 nm diameter were synthesized using low-temperature routes, and deposited in combination with ultrathin graphene sheets for use as transparent conductors. ...
    • Sol-gel deposition and plasma treatment of intrinsic, aluminum-doped and gallium-doped zinc oxide thin films as transparent conductive electrodes 

      Zhu Z.; Mankowski T.; Balakrishnan K.; Shikoh A.S.; Touati F.; ... more authors ( SPIE , 2015 , Conference Paper)
      Zinc oxide and aluminum/gallium-doped zinc oxide thin films were deposited via sol-gel spin-coating technique. Employing plasma treatment as alternative to post thermal annealing, we found that the morphologies of these ...
    • Transparent conducting electrodes based on thin, ultra-long Copper nanowires and graphene nano-composites 

      Zhu Z.; Mankowski T.; Balakrishnan K.; Shikoh A.S.; Touati F.; ... more authors ( SPIE , 2014 , Conference Paper)
      High aspect-ratio ultra-long (> 70 ?m) and thin (< 50 nm) copper nanowires (Cu-NW) were synthesized in large quantities using a solution-based approach. The nanowires, along with reduced graphene-oxide sheets, were coated ...
    • Ultrahigh Aspect Ratio Copper-Nanowire-Based Hybrid Transparent Conductive Electrodes with PEDOT:PSS and Reduced Graphene Oxide Exhibiting Reduced Surface Roughness and Improved Stability 

      Zhu Z.; Mankowski T.; Balakrishnan K.; Shikoh A.S.; Touati F.; ... more authors ( American Chemical Society , 2015 , Article)
      Copper nanowires (CuNWs) with ultrahigh aspect ratio are synthesized with a solution process and spray-coated onto select substrates to fabricate transparent conductive electrodes (TCEs). Different annealing methods are ...
