  1. 11. Electron Transport in Semiconductor Nanowires

    Författare :Mikael Björk; Fasta tillståndets fysik; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; heterostructures; single electron transistors; resonant tunneling; quantum dots; weak antilocalization; Halvledarfysik; field effect transistors; Semiconductory physics; Fysicumarkivet A:2004:Björk; Low-dimensional structures; nanowires; chemical beam epitaxy;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis, semiconductor nanowires are studied from the point of view of growth and electrical properties. The growth of nanowires is done by chemical beam epitaxy (CBE), an ultra-high vacuum technique allowing a precise control of precursor deposition and low growth rates. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Optical properties of silver nanostructures prepared by electron beam lithography

    Författare :Linda K Gunnarsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; nanoelectronics; surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy; single-electron tunneling; electron-beam lithography; nanofabrication; localized surface plasmon resonance; silver nanoparticles;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis, electron beam lithography (EBL) has been used to fabricate substrates for studies of nanoparticle optics, in particular for the investigation of noble metal nanoparticles and their tunable optical properties. The strong interaction of metal nanoparticles with light has its origin in the resonant excitation of collective oscillations of conduction electrons, so called localized surface plasmons (LSP).

  4. 13. Electromechanical Interactions in Shuttle Systems and Carbon Nanotube Relays

    Författare :Tomas Nord; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Coulomb blockade; carbon nanotubes; memory device; nanorelay; single electron tunneling; van der Waals forces; NEMS; shuttle transport; mesoscopic; nanoelectromechanical systems;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis we theoretically investigate two kinds of nanoscale systems where there is a strong electromechanical coupling, i.e. an intricate relation between the Coulomb forces that can appear in these systems and the displacements of parts of the systems that they cause.

  5. 14. Shuttle Transport of Charge in Normal and Superconducting Nanostructures

    Författare :Andreas Isacsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Josephson effect; superconductivity; nanoelectromechanics NEMS ; single electron tunneling; coulomb blockade;

    Sammanfattning : In nanoscale systems, accumulation of charge is associated with large charging energies. If the forces arising due to the Coulomb interaction are comparable to the rigidity of the structures mechanical deformations can couple to the electronic degrees of freedom. LÄS MER

  7. 15. Quantum Devices from the Assembly of Zero- and One-Dimensional Building Blocks

    Författare :Claes Thelander; Fasta tillståndets fysik; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; quantum devices; classical mechanics; quantum mechanics; relativity; statistical physics; thermodynamics; Matematisk och allmän teoretisk fysik; klassisk mekanik; kvantmekanik; relativitet; gravitation; termodynamik; statistisk fysik; Mathematical and general theoretical physics; single-electron transistor; nanowires; AFM; carbon nanotubes; Fysicumarkivet A:2003:Thelander;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis describes novel methods for the fabrication of nanometer-scale electronic devices, such as single-electron transistors and resonant tunneling diodes, from wire- and dot-shaped building blocks. The first part of the thesis describes the manipulation of metal nanoparticles and carbon nanotubes using an atomic force microscope. LÄS MER
