  1. 21. Photoluminescence Mapping of Erbium Doped Lithium Niobate

    University essay from KTH/Tillämpad fysik

    Author : Chuanshi Xie; [2023]
    Keywords : Automotive mapping; Erbium emitters; Ion implantation; Lithium niobate on insulator; photoluminescence microscopy; Automatisk kartläggning; Erbium fotonemitterare; Jonimplantation; Litiumniobat på isolator; fotoluminiscensmikroskopi.;

    Abstract : Lithium niobate (LiNbO3) is a human-made crystalline which is widely used in modern photonics due to its useful properties. In recent years, there has been significant progress in the development of lithium niobate on insulator (LNOI) technology, realizing a fully functional photonic integrated circuits, thanks to its capabilities in both electro-optics and second-order optical nonlinearity.

    Abstract : Superconducting Nanowire Single Photon Detectors (SNSPDs) are a promising technology for detecting single photon emissions with high efficiency and low noise. This detector class has numerous applications in quantum optics, communication, and sensing. READ MORE

  4. 23. Silicon Drift Detector Simulations for Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy in Scanning Electron Microscopy

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Fysikum

    Author : Sebbe Blokhuizen; [2023]
    Keywords : X-ray spectroscopy; Silicon drift detector; Scanning Electron Microscopy; Detector Simulation;

    Abstract : Scanning Electron Microscopy combined with Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) is a widely applied elemental microanalysis method. The integration of silicon drift detectors (SDDs) has notably enhanced EDS performance, enabling precise elemental identification due to its large sensitive area and low output capacitance.

  5. 24. Improving proton therapy planning with photon-counting spectral computed tomography

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Karin Larsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Proton therapy; Medical imaging; Computed Tomography; Protonterapi; Medicinsk avbildning; Datortomografi;

    Abstract : Proton radiation therapy is an alternative to conventional photon radiation therapy, which accounts for the majority of radiation treatments today. The rationale for using protons in radiation therapy lies in their dose deposition properties; photons deposit a radiation dose inversely proportional to the energy, and therefore tissue depth, while protons exhibit a sharp Bragg peak when traversing matter.

  6. 25. Optimization of Gammasphere Data Following the Nuclear Reaction 36Ar + 24Mg → 60Zn∗

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Partikel- och kärnfysik

    Author : Paul Böhm; [2023]
    Keywords : re-calibration; Gammasphere; 54Fe; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The experiment at Argonne National Laboratory aimed to study the fusion-evaporation reaction following the collision of a high-energy particle beam of 36Ar with a stationary target of 24Mg. This paper outlines the creation and implementation of an automated re-calibration procedure for the high-purity Germanium detectors comprising the Gammasphere array used for γ-ray spectroscopy in this experiment.
