Optical Amplification in Disordered Waveguiding Systems
(2020)
Bei dem Phänomen der verstärkten Emission in ungeordneten Systemen handelt es sich um ein wiederentdecktes und über die letzten Jahrzehnte stark debattiertes Themengebiet in der Literatur. Diese Dissertation soll hierzu zwei experimentelle Ansätze bieten, wobei beide in der Lage sind, bei optischer Anregung entweder Random Lasing oder Verstärkte Spontane Emission zu zeigen.
In dieser Arbeit wird thermisch induzierte Faltenbildung (Wrinklebildung) als neuer Ansatz zur Herstellung von Streuzentren in wellenleitenden ...

Synthese neuartiger konjugierter mesomerer Betaine und ihr Koordinationsverhalten
(2019-12)
Lange Zeit galten Carbene als transiente Spezies, deren Labilität bzw. hohe Reaktivität gegen eine Isolierbarkeit in Substanz sprach. Erst nach der richtungsweisenden Entdeckung durch ARDUENGO et al., die ein stabiles freies Carben kristallin erhalten konnten, wurden mehr und mehr stabile Carbene isoliert. Das ARDUENGO-Carben gehört zu der Klasse der N-heterocyclischen Carbene (NHCs). Die Stabilität solcher Carbene wird durch zwei Aminosubstituenten am CCarben-Atom und des Weiteren durch die Eingliederung dieses ...

The tRNA binding protein Kti12 and its role in the regulation of Elongator complex
(2020-06-08)
[Summary] Kti12 is a conserved eukaryotic protein showing sequence homology to O-phosphoseryltRNA kinase (Pstk), which is required for the synthesis of selenocysteine tRNA. Saccharomyces cerevisiae Kti12 was originally discovered in a genetic screening for resistance against zymocin, a protein toxin produced by Kluyveromyces lactis. The cytotoxicity of zymocin lies in its anticodon nuclease activity, causing tRNA depletion and cell death in sensitive yeast cells. It recognizes and cleaves a particular wobble uridine ...

Investigation of the functional synergy and involvement of different tRNA modifications in translational control
(2020-07-02)
Transfer RNAs are essential adapter molecules employed in the translational process and are highly modified all over their structure. Specific modification of the four canonical ribonucleotides (A, U, C, G) is accomplished by various proteins and/or protein complexes, ranging from simple isomerisations (e.g. Ψ) and methylations (e.g. m5C) up to complex chemical structures (e.g. mcm5s2U, ct6A). The functions of tRNA modifications are linked to the specific position and may influence translation by supporting the native ...

Diversity of aphyllophoroid fungi from taxonomical and biogeographical perspectives
(2018)
Comprehensive knowledge of biodiversity is a prerequisite for its long-term conservation and sustainable use. Fungi play crucial roles in ecosystems and are among the species-richest organism groups on Earth. However, all aspects of their diversity remain underexplored.
In this study, we aimed to fill the gaps in occurrence data and taxonomy as well as in understanding spatial diversity patterns of aphyllophoroid fungi (non-gilled macroscopic Basidiomycota). We digitized and made openly accessible 4,041 records of ...

High-Speed 1.55 µm Quantum Dot Lasers with Electronically Coupled Quantum Well - Dot Active Regions
(2019-07-31)
The expansion of long-distance data communication at a wavelength of 1.55 µm calls for larger data transfer rates. Consequently, an improvement of emission and modulation properties of lasers emitting in this wavelength region is of high interest. The utilization of so-called tunnel-injection (TI) structures in InP-based quantum dot (QD) lasers is promising to fulfill this task. The aim of this thesis was the realization and analysis of TI structures in the lattice matched InP material system and incorporation into ...

Fabrication and characterization of diamond nanopillars, waveguides and AFM tips with incorporated color centers
(2020-06)
Diamond is a unique material with outstanding properties and the perfect host for different crystal defects in its lattice, so-called color centers, which provide exceptional spin properties, rendering them a promising platform for the development of novel devices and components in quantum information technologies (QIT) and quantum sensing applications. To overcome diamond's high internal reflection due to its high refractive index, color centers need to be incorporated in photonic diamond structures, leading to ...

1.55 μm Quantum Dot Lasers for Telecommunication
(2019)
The thesis at hand investigates the suitability of quantum dot (QD) material for use in long-distance coherent communication. The thesis was written in the frame of the SASER project MONOLOP that is aiming for a compact, monolithically integrated light source with a tunable wavelength covering the C+-band and narrow spectral linewidth below 500 kHz.
The thesis reviews the theoretical background of quantum dot material based on the InP material system and distributed feedback (DFB) lasers with lateral gratings as ...

Rethinking the genus Hyphodontia s.l. (Hymenochaetales, Basidiomycota) – investigations on a worldwide scope including new taxonomy, phylogeny, and identification keys
(2018-12)
The dissertation “Rethinking the genus Hyphodontia s.l. (Hymenochaetales, Basidiomycota) – investigations on a worldwide scope including new taxonomy, phylogeny, and identification keys” was elaborated by Janett Riebesehl in the Department of Ecology at the University of Kassel.
Changing the classification system of the fungal genus Hyphodontia s.l. to treat the species from the broad Hyphodontia s.l. concept by a division into other genera was continued. Hjortstam and Ryvarden (2002, 2009) began the concept, but ...

Ferrocen-basierte N-heterocyclische Tetrylene mit tertiären Alkylsubstituenten an den Stickstoff-Atomen
(2020)
In 2009, our group published two stable N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) with a 1,1'-ferrocenediyl backbone (fc), which formally exhibit a six-membered FeIIC2N2CII-heterocycle. The stabilization of the fcNHCs is favored by bulky N-substituents. So far neopentyl and 2-adamantyl have been used for this purpose - a bulky primary and secondary alkyl substituent. In contrast to other cyclic diaminocarbenes, the fcNHCs are capable of activating small molecules such as NH3 or CO. The reason for this remarkable ability is the ...
