Abstract

Zinc oxide (ZnO (s) ) is prepared by Chemical Bath Deposition. This manuscript continues with previous research examining the Photoluminiecence  at UV-Vis-region.   According to emission bands situated at Vis-region by means of Photoluminescence, green (GE) and yellow emission (YE) bands are discussed, which are associated with native intrinsic crystalline defects. The Photoluminescence dependence with the trap density and the surface recombination velocity in the light of the Maxwell-Boltzmann theoretical model (MBM) results associated with the electronic transitions related to the native intrinsic defects situated at9 Vis-region are investigated. The trap density (cm -1 ) of nanocrystals located at range ~8.9-9.9  An approximate a theoretical-experimental kinetic model is presented, considering that the coordination complex ion is a key parameter in the crystal growth of ZnO (s) nanocrystals. The optimized geometry of [Zn(NH 3 ) 4 ] 2+ molecule was obtained with the DFT method using the functional of H-GGA B3LYP.

Estudié Ingeniería Química en la Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla en el periodo (2003-2008). Obtuve el grado de maestra en Dispositivos semiconductores en el año 2012. Obtuve el grado de  doctora en Dispositivos Semiconductores en la Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla en el año 2017, durante mis estudios de doctorado realice la obtención de materiales semiconductores para su obtención en celdas solares tipo heteroestructura de película delgada. Tengo experiencia en  la obtención estudio y caracterización óptica morfológica y estructural de materiales semiconductores  tales como (ZnO, CdS, PbS) tierras raras (Nd2O3, CeO2, Nb2O5).

Hice una estancia postdoctoral en el Centro de Investigación y Estudios Avanzados (Cinvestav) en el proyecto Bilateral México-Inglaterra RCUK-CONACYT Cost-efficient and radiation-tolerant pixel detectors for ionising radiation based on thin-film technology en colaboración con (CIDS-BUAP, Cinvestav, Lancaster University). Durante mi estancia postdoctoral realice el crecimiento de materiales semiconductores entre los cuales se encuentran óxidos  (Al2O3, Ga2O3, Al2O3, MgO), Nitruros III-V (GaN, AlN, InN) y aleaciones (AlGaN, InGaN). Realice el diseño y la fabricación de mascarillas y  transistores de alta movilidad (HEMT) de heteroestructura (AlN/GaN/AlGaN/Al2O3/Ga2O3).

Durante mi trayectoria académica he publicado 20 artículos los cuáles han sido publicados en revistas arbitradas e indexadas con un número total de 385 citas. He sido parte de la comisión evaluadora de CONACYT.   He realizado la evaluación de articulos de la revista  Renewal energy.

La  razón  por la cual me considero una candidata ideal para obtener la  Cátedra, es que tengo la experiencia necesaria en el área de ciencia de materiales y la obtención de materiales optoelectrónicos. Además mi principal objetivo es desarrollar proyectos de investigación en conjunto con los investigadores y estudiantes en el área de energías renovables, específicamente en  el estudio, diseño y obtención de materiales para la fabricación de dispositivos fotovoltaicos tipo tandem.
