1.55 µm High-Speed QDs Lasers for Optical Telecommunication Applications
(2014-12-19)
In this work investigation of the QDs formation and the fabrication of QD based semiconductor lasers for telecom applications are presented. InAs QDs grown on AlGaInAs lattice matched to InP substrates are used to fabricate lasers operating at 1.55 µm, which is the central wavelength for far distance data transmission. This wavelength is used due to its minimum attenuation in standard glass fibers.
The incorporation of QDs in this material system is more complicated in comparison to InAs QDs in the GaAs system. Due ...

Excitation of Phonons in Solids and Nanostructures by Intense Laser and XUV Pulses and by Low Energy Atomic Collision
(2016-02-17)
Intensive, ultrakurze Laserpulse regen Festkörper in einen Zustand an, in dem die Elektronen hohe Temperaturen erlangen, während das Gitter kalt bleibt. Die heißen Elektronen beeinflussen das sog. Laser-angeregte interatomare Potential bzw. die Potentialenergiefläche, auf der die Ionen sich bewegen. Dieses kann neben anderen ultrakurzen Prozessen zu Änderungen der Phononfrequenzen (phonon softening oder phonon hardening) führen. Viele ultrakurze strukturelle Phänomene in Festkörpern hängen bei hohen Laseranregungen ...

Molecular Beam Epitaxial Growth of III-V Semiconductor Nanostructures on Silicon Substrates
(2013-07-24)
The main focus and concerns of this PhD thesis is the growth of III-V semiconductor nanostructures (Quantum dots (QDs) and quantum dashes) on silicon substrates using molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) technique. The investigation of influence of the major growth parameters on their basic properties (density, geometry, composition, size etc.) and the systematic haracterization of their structural and optical properties are the core of the research work. The monolithic integration of III-V optoelectronic devices with silicon ...

Ab initio Molecular Dynamics Simulations of the Structural Response of Solids to Ultrashort Laser and XUV Pulses
(2015-04-10)
The theoretical model and underlying physics described in this thesis are about the interaction of femtosecond-laser and XUV pulses with solids. The key to understand the basics of such interaction is to study the structural response of the materials after laser interaction. Depending on the laser characteristics, laser-solid interaction can result in a wide range of structural responses such as solid-solid phase transitions, vacuum phonon squeezing, ultrafast melting, generation of coherent phonons, etc. During my ...

Magnetic interactions between transition metal impurities and clusters mediated by low-dimensional metallic hosts: A first principles theoretical investigation
(2015-03-31)
The magnetic properties and interactions between transition metal (TM) impurities and clusters in low-dimensional metallic hosts are studied using a first principles theoretical method. In the first part of this work, the effect of magnetic order in 3d-5d systems is addressed from the perspective of its influence on the enhancement of the magnetic anisotropy energy (MAE). In the second part, the possibility of using external electric fields (EFs) to control the magnetic properties and interactions between nanoparticles ...

Theoretical study of magnetism, structure and chemical order in transition-metal alloy clusters
(2012-02-27)
Research on transition-metal nanoalloy clusters composed of a few atoms is fascinating by their unusual properties due to the interplay among the structure, chemical order and magnetism. Such nanoalloy clusters, can be used to construct nanometer devices for technological applications by manipulating their remarkable magnetic, chemical and optical properties. Determining the nanoscopic features exhibited by the magnetic alloy clusters signifies the need for a systematic global and local exploration of their ...

Electron Dynamics Driven by Intense Coherent Femtosecond Laser Pulses: Dynamic Interference in Atoms and Photoelectron Circular Dichroism in Chiral Molecules
(2018-12)
Since humans have begun to explore nature, they came up with new ways and tools, which have been permanently improved. At some point, those tools allowed to look into the microworld and to study the quantum nature of matter. One of such tools to explore the quantum world is the light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation (laser). Since the first lasers were built almost 60 years ago, their capabilities improved permanently, allowing the study of hitherto-unknown physical phenomena. Two of such phenomena, ...

Protein Folding Simulations: Confinement, External Fields and Sequence Design
(2010-04-08)
The present Thesis looks at the problem of protein folding using Monte Carlo and Langevin simulations, three topics in protein folding have been studied:
1) the effect of confining potential barriers,
2) the effect of a static external field and
3) the design of amino acid sequences which fold in a short time and which have a stable native state (global minimum).
Regarding the first topic, we studied the confinement of a small protein of 16 amino acids known as 1NJ0 (PDB code) which has a beta-sheet ...
