    research objective was to develop a method of creating an epitaxial thin film of nickel on a silicon substrate. During my research I observed how nickel thin films properties changed as the crystalline structure of my thin film transformed from face-centered-cubic, to a mono-crystalline structure. I developed epitaxial nickel thin films through a process of thermal deposition of nickel onto a heated p-type silicon wafer substrate. This research experience was an important milestone, as it defined my
