CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Bolometer technology\, crucial for uncooled thermal detection i
 n thermography\, industrial inspection\, monitoring\, surveillance applica
 tion\, relies on materials requiring sophisticated instrumentation for the
 ir growth and fabrication. The events of COVID-19 and the recent Nobel Pri
 ze in chemistry have underscored the need of low cost and easy to handle t
 hermal imaging technology\, as well as the potential of Colloidal Quantum 
 Dots (CQDs) for high performance optoelectronic devices\, respectively.\nT
 his thesis\, explores a new material platform based on CQDs\, and studies 
 the suitability of CQDs for the Infrared (IR) bolometer technology. Variou
 s components of a bolometer device such as a thermistor and a metamaterial
  absorber have been demonstrated with the use of CQDs\, and a complete bol
 ometer device fabrication have been achieved. The work presented in this t
 hesis lays the groundwork and is anticipated to contribute to the continuo
 us advancement and improvement of uncooled IR sensing devices\, paving the
  way for low-cost development and wider dissemination of IR bolometer tech
 nology.\n&nbsp\;\nMonday March 11\, 11:00h. ICFO Auditorium.\nThesis Direc
