Validation of a generalized model for the description of polycrystalline exchange-biased magnetic thin films
(2022)
Applications based on nano- and microscaled systems have become indispensable in many aspects in everyday life, industry, research and medicine. In this regard, thin film technology plays a crucial role with the physical properties of solids changing significantly when they are reduced to thin layers with thicknesses in the nanometer range. In this regime, a solid’s microstructure as well as boundary and surface effects start to dominate. A prominent example is the exchange bias effect, which results due to the ...

A Unifying Theory for Runge-Kutta-like Time Integrators: Convergence and Stability
(2024)
The work deals with two major topics concerning the numerical analysis of Runge-Kutta-like (RK-like) methods, namely their stability and order of convergence. RK-like methods differ from additive RK methods in that their coefficients are allowed to depend on the solution and the step size. As a result of this, we also refer to them as non-standard additive RK (NSARK) methods. We motivate and introduce modified Patankar (MP) schemes as a subclass of NSARK methods and emphasize their importance. The first major part ...

Immobilization of Neodymium Complexes on Semiconductor Surfaces and Processing of GaAs-based Photonic Crystals
(2024)
Lanthanide ion luminescence exhibits characteristic narrow emission bands ranging from VIS to NIR along with relatively long emission lifetimes which makes them attractive for applications in lighting, sensing, and display technologies. The focus of this dissertation lies on the optical characterization of newly synthesized neodymium complexes bearing phosphonate ester ligands and the fabrication of photonic crystal (PhC) cavities. Micro-photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy is used to investigate the NIR emission bands ...

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 ...
Dissertation
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 ...

High temperature-stable InGaAs QDs for the monolithic integration in external-cavity surface-emitting lasers
(2021)
Optically pumped vertical external-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VECSELs), also called semiconductor disk lasers (SDLs), benefit from the flexibility and versatility of the semiconductor material. With a simple cavity layout, fundamental transverse mode operation with a circular output beam and high beam quality is possible. They have excellent heat-sink properties and only require inexpensive multimode diode lasers for pumping. The complete VECSEL structure is only a few micrometers thick which leads to a strong ...

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 ...
