Welding of Semiconductor Nanowires by Coupling Laser-Induced Peening and Localized Heating by Kelly M. Rickey (19568770)

“…The characterization results indicate that solely laser peening or sintering can only moderately improve the thin film quality; however, when coupled together as laser peen sintering (LPS), the electrical conductivity enhancement is dramatic. LPS can decrease resistivity up to a factor of ~10,000, resulting in values on the order of ~105 Ω-cm in some cases, which is comparable to CdTe thin films. …”
