  1. 6. Modulation of the optical properties of quantum dots by surface acoustic waves

    University essay from KTH/Tillämpad fysik

    Author : Tanguy Schetelat; [2023]
    Keywords : Nanophotonics; Quantum dots; Surface acoustic waves; Interdigital tansducers; Optomechanical coupling; Nanofotonik; Kvantprickar; Akustika yt-vågor; Interdigital tansducers; Optomekanisk koppling;

    Abstract : Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) are considered to be a crucial part of future quantum technologies due to their enormous potential as efficient sources of single and indistinguishable photons. Single photons are necessary to transport quantum information over large distances through the existing global fibre optic network. READ MORE

  3. 7. In-situ Growth of Sn-seeded GaAs and GaSb Nanowire Heterostructures

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Centrum för analys och syntes

    Author : Azemina Kraina; [2023]
    Keywords : nanowire; heterostructure; ETEM; MOCVD; TEM; in-situ; Sn; GaAs; GaSb; materials chemistry; Technology and Engineering; Chemistry;

    Abstract : One of the ways to utilize III-V nanowires, is to make use of the possibility to combine materials and create heterostructures which allows for creating material combinations with new properties. A special interest can be taken into Sb-containing nanowires due to the high electron mobility, however there has been reported difficulties with switching to other materials because of a 'memory effect' where Sb lingers in the system and nanowire.

  4. 8. Characterization of Bi-incorporated InSb(111)A/B Surfaces : An STM and XPS Study

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

    Author : Shengpeng Huang; [2023]
    Keywords : indium antimonide; surface reconstructions; bismuth deposition; scanning tunneling microscopy; X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : In recent years, III-V semiconductor materials have received increasing attention due to their admirable electronic properties like direct tunable bandgaps and high charge carrier mobility. Indium Antimonide (InSb) possesses the largest electron mobility among III-V materials and is promising for infrared detectors, high-speed field effect transistors, and spintronics. READ MORE

  5. 9. Benchtop conductance quantization

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för fysik och elektroteknik (IFE)

    Author : Markus Andersson; [2023]
    Keywords : Conductivity;

    Abstract : Quantum conductance is a phenomenon associated with nanowires / quantum point contacts where the current through a wire is quantized. Experiments have shown that this phenomenon can be manifested at room temperature using macroscopic wires. This project is aimed to recreate these experiments with emphasis on simplicity. READ MORE

  6. 10. Mathematical modeling and analysis of hot carrier solar cells

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk fysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Benjamin van Dijk; [2023]
    Keywords : solar cell; nanowires; hot carrier; nanowire; analysis; mathematical model; trends; fermi function; reservoirs; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : This thesis focuses on the analysis of a mathematical model of a nanowire based hot carrier solar cell. The relevance of the topic comes from the energy crisis society is facing today. Firstly, we discuss the basic principle of hot carrier solar cells and discuss several energy loss factors. READ MORE
