  1. 1. Thermoelectric measurements on InAs nanowires with a ratchet-barrier

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Fasta tillståndets fysik

    Author : Hanna Lundström; [2022]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Efficient extraction of thermal energy from electrons at the micro- and nanoscale is a long-standing scientific goal that could enable novel types of heat engines, heat management, and solar cell applications. Semiconductor nanowires are a promising system for investigating such devices for several reasons, such as their thermoelectric properties, and the potential to be grown in heterostructures with high flexibility.

  3. 2. Niobium Ohmic Contacts for Cryogenic Indium Phosphide High-Electron-Mobility Transistors

    University essay from KTH/Tillämpad fysik

    Author : Linnéa Bendrot; [2022]
    Keywords : Ohmic contacts; high-electron-mobility transistor; InP; Nb films; cryogenic electronics; low-noise amplifier; quantum computing; transfer length method; superconductivity; contact barrier resistance; Ohmska kontakter; högelektronmobilitetstransistorer; indiumfosfid; niob; tunnfilm; kryogen elektronik; lågbrusförstärkare; kvantdatorer; Transfer Length-metod; supraledning; kontakt- barriärresistans;

    Abstract : Ohmic contacts are crucial components in semiconductor devices such as transistors and diodes, and lowering their contact resistance is an important factor in device performance enhancement. This is especially important for low-noise amplifiers (LNAs) where device noise temperature decreases both directly and indirectly with decreasing contact resistance. READ MORE

  4. 3. Finite element modelling of strained nanowire heterostructures

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Synkrotronljusfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Alexander Grape Wyke; [2019]
    Keywords : Strain; nanowire; heterostructure; physics; nanophysics; COMSOL; simulation; lattice; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : When two materials with different lattice constants are grown together, this generates stress between them, and therefore strain. This strain causes them to have different thermal and electrical properties, and this is especially important on the nanoscale where changes have large impacts. READ MORE

  5. 4. I-V and Optical Characterization of InP/InAsP Quantum Disc-in-Nanowire Infrared Photodetectors

    University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för informationsteknologi

    Author : Divya Raval; [2019]
    Keywords : Nanowires; Infrared photodetectors; Quantum disc; Photocurrent;

    Abstract : Photodetectors are semiconductor devices capable of converting optical signals into electrical signals. There is a wide range of applications for photodetectors such as fiber optics communication, infrared heat camera sensors, as well as in medical and military equipment. READ MORE

  6. 5. Electrical characterization of strained InP-Ga(x)In(1-x)As core-shell nanowires

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Fasta tillståndets fysik

    Author : Lorenz Frevel; [2016]
    Keywords : nanowire; strain; piezoelectric effect; indium phosphide; InP; gallium indium arsenide; GaInAs; InGaAs; core-shell; radial heterostructure; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : This project report attempts to measure the piezoelectric effect in strained core-shell nanowires. The core material is wurtzite indium phosphide (InP) and the shell material wurtzite gallium indium arsenide (Ga(x)In(1-x)As). READ MORE
