Gold Surface Nanostructuring with Ultrashort Laser Pulses - Study of Non-equilibrium Effects
(2019)
Laser material interaction and structure formation in metals under controlled ultrashort laser pulse conditions are discussed in this work. A novel approach is presented describing the exact amount of energy deposited by a laser pulse in a gold surface, applicable under a variety of structuring conditions. The presented model is validated by a new introduced broad-band pump-probe reflectivity measurement method. A technique also applicable to investigate other phenomenas where 20 fs resolution combined with an octave ...

Ab-initio analysis of the structural response of solids after femtosecond-laser-pulse excitation
(2019)
After an intense femtosecond-laser excitation extreme non-equilibrium conditions are induced in materials. The high photon density in such an ultrashort-laser pulse interacts directly with the electronic system of the material. By absorbing the photon energy the electrons are excited in high energy states, where they form a non-equilibrium distribution shortly after the excitation. Due to fast electron-electron scattering and cascading processes equilibrates the electronic system within several femtoseconds to a ...

InP - based quantum dots for telecom wavelengths ranges
(2019-12)
Long-distance quantum communication applications require sources of single photons, emitting at telecom wavelengths (around 1550 nm) with minimum attenu-ation losses of silica fiber.
Semiconductor self-assembled InAs/InP-based quantum dots (QDs) are possible candidates to
reach this spectral region. One of the challenges on the way is a QD asymmetry, which limits the fidelity of entangled photons. Therefore, morphological and optical properties of QDs should be improved in order to achieve the necessary quality and ...

Abhängigkeit des Exchange-Bias Feldes und des Koerzitivfeldes von der mittels Röntgendiffraktometrie gemessenen Kornvolumenverteilung des Antiferromagneten in Exchange-Bias Schichtsystemen
(2019-10-02)
Der Exchange-Bias Effekt wird in vielen technischen Anwendungen, wie z.B. in magnetischen Speichermedien oder in Magnetsensorköpfen zum Pinnen der Magnetisierungsrichtung der Referenzelektrode, eingesetzt. Dieser Effekt tritt ausschließlich in dünnen Schichtsystemen, in denen sich ein dünner Ferromagnet mit einem dünnen Antiferromagneten in Kontakt befindet, auf und bewirkt eine Verschiebung der Hysteresekurve entlang der Magnetfeldachse. Solche Exchange-Bias Schichtsysteme können mittels Ionenbeschuss, d.h., leichte ...

Role of neurotransmitter GABA in the brain of the Madeira cockroach Rhyparobia maderae with focus on the circadian system
(2019-02)
All living things are subject to biological rhythms. Circadian rhythms are generated by internal clocks which influence many biochemical and physiological processes, as well as various behaviors of an organism. These oscillators are synchronized by external "Zeitgeber" signals such as light-dark changes, temperature changes, as well as social contacts. Different studies identified the accessory medulla (AME), small neuropil at the ventromedian edge of the medulla, as the circadian pacemaker center of the cockroach ...

Energy transfer in free-standing van der Waals heterostructures after optical excitation
(2019)
The wide range of layered van der Waals materials is interesting due to its plenty of deviating characteristics. The structure of all these materials is built from covalently joined layers, which are stacked by van der Waals forces. Aside from this structural similarity the specific characteristics spread out in a variety of electronic and optical properties. The electronic properties of layered materials vary from pure insulators to metallic conductors and can even depend on the number of layers. In the work presented ...

BamB facilitates folding of outer membrane protein A (OmpA) via interactions of its β-propeller with the membrane surface and via a conformation change induced by phosphatidylglycerol
(2019-10-17)
A sufficient folding and insertion of OMPs into the OM of Gram-negative bacteria requires the conserved β-barrel assembly machinery (BAM) complex. The present thesis concerns the structural properties and folding behavior of the lipoprotein BamB and describes its relevance in the synchronized mechanism of membrane insertion and folding of the β-barrel protein OmpA. Furthermore, specific binding sites in BamB involved in the interaction to the lipid membrane or the periplasmic domain of BamA (PD-BamA) were identified ...
