1. 11. Semiconductor Nanowires: Epitaxy and Applications

   Författare :Thomas Mårtensson; Fasta tillståndets fysik; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; semiconductor; nanotechnology; nanowires; crystal growth; metal-organic vapour phase epitaxy; III-V; silicon; MOVPE; light-emitting diode; single-electron transistor; cell;

   Sammanfattning : Semiconductor nanowires are nanoscale objects formed by bottom-up synthesis. In recent years their unique properties have been exploited in fields such as electronics, photonics, sensors and the life sciences. In this work, the epitaxial growth of nanowires and their applications were studied. LÄS MER

   Författare :Dan Csontos; Fasta tillståndets fysik; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ballistic transport; quantum wire; quantum dot; resonant tunnelling; three-terminal; disorder; Physics; Fysik; Fysicumarkivet A:2002:Csontos; scattering matrix; quantum transport;

   Sammanfattning : In this thesis, theoretical studies of the transport properties of three nanoscale systems: one-dimensional (1D) quantum wires (QWRs), zero-dimensional (0D), laterally confined, double-barrier resonant tunnelling structures (DBRTSs) and three-terminal ballistic junctions (TBJs), have been performed. In the first part of the thesis, an overview of the realization and properties of such systems is given along with a description of modelling tools used in the calculations. LÄS MER

5. 14. Leveraging HVPE for III-V/Si Integration and Mid-Infrared Photonic Device Fabrication

   Författare :Axel Strömberg; Yan-Ting Sun; Sebastian Lourdudoss; Mattias Hammar; Charles Cornet; KTH; []

   Sammanfattning : This work covers the implementation of highly specialized epitaxial techniques enabled by the near-equilibrium hydride vapor-phase epitaxy growth process in III-V/Si integration for Si-based tandem solar cells and photoelectrochemical reactions, quasi phase matching GaP structures on GaAs substrates, and regrowth of InP:Fe on quantum cascade lasing structures.III-V/Si integration is an important topic in several fields of research with a significant one being solar energy harvesting.

7. 15. Optical characterization of Silicon-based self-assembled nanostructures

   Författare :Bouchaib Adnane; Wei-Xin Ni; Per Olof Holtz; Göran Hansson; Susumo Fukatsu; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP;

   Sammanfattning : This PhD thesis summarizes the work carried on the optical characterizations of some Si-based self-assembled nanostructures, particularly SiGe/Si quantum dots (QDs) and nanocrystalline (nc)-Si embedded in mesoporous silica (MS) using photoconductivity (PC), photoluminescence (PL), and photoluminescence excitation (PLE) measurements. The spectroscopic studies of SiGe/Si QDs grown on Si by molecular beam epitaxy revealed for the first time well-resolved PLE resonances. LÄS MER
