    Sammanfattning : In the thesis, three-dimensionally confined resonant tunneling structures were studied experimentally. Two approaches were used for obtaining quantum confinement: gate-defined lateral constriction of double barrier structures, and epitaxial growth of self-assembled quantum dots. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Three-Dimensional Metal-Semiconductor Heterostructures for Device Applications

    Sammanfattning : Fabrication and characterisation of buried metal contacts in compound semiconductors are demonstrated. The contacts have been investigated due to their usage both as gates in transistors and as active or passive elements in novel devices. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Brownian Dynamics Simulations of Macromolecules : Algorithm Development and Polymers under Confinement

    Författare :Tobias Carlsson; Christer Elvingson; Wim Briels; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis I have used computer simulations to study the structure and dynamics of grafted polymers during confinement. These systems are of importance for understanding e.g. colloidal stability and surface coatings. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Design and fabrication of long wavelength vertical cavity lasers on GaAs substrates

    Författare :Rickard Marcks von Würtemberg; Mattias Hammar; Markus Amann; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; VCSEL; Selective Area Epitaxy; Epitaxial regrowth; Laser; Semiconductor physics; Halvledarfysik;

    Sammanfattning : Vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) are today a commodity on the short wavelength laser market due to the ease with which they are manufactured. Much effort has in the last decade been directed towards making long wavelength VCSELs as successful in the marketplace. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Semiconductor Lasers with Gratings Defined by Electron Beam Lithography

    Författare :Torgil Kjellberg; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; lasers; field-stitching errors; single-mode stability; fiber-optic communication;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with the fabrication and characterization of semiconductor lasers with gratings defined by electron-beam lithography (EBL). Both distributed-feedback (DFB) lasers for fiber-optic communication and grating-surface-emitting (GSE) lasers suitable for a number of novel applications, from free-space communication to optical processing, are treated.
