Goldnanoteilchen auf Titandioxid
(2009-02-23)
In dieser Arbeit wurde das Wachstum sowie die ultraschnelle Elektronendynamik des Oberflächenplasmon Polaritons von Goldnanoteilchen auf Titandioxid untersucht. Die Messung der Dephasierungszeit des Oberflächenplasmons von Nanoteilchen mit definierter Form und Größe erfolgte dabei mit der Methode des spektralen Lochbrennens. Die Nanoteilchen wurden durch Deposition von Goldatomen aus einem thermischen Atomstrahl mit anschließender Diffussion und Nukleation, d.h. Volmer-Weber-Wachstum, auf Titandioxidsubstraten ...

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 ...

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 ...

Fabrication and Investigation of Diamond Membranes for Photonic Nanostructures
(2023)
Due to its exceptional physical and chemical characteristics, diamond in a form of thin membranes is a particularly promising material for the fabrication of high-quality photonic devices. Especially for envisioned applications in quantum information technologies and communication, diamond gained, as a host material, an ever-increasing scientific interest based on remarkable properties of different color centers in its crystal lattice, e.g. nitrogen-vacancy centers, serving as single-photon emitters. As a high index ...

Preparation and applications of periodical gold nanoparticle arrays
(2009-07-14)
Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Herstellung und Anwendungen von periodischen Goldnanopartikel-Arrays (PPAs), die mit Hilfe von Nanosphären-Lithografie hergestellt wurden. In Abhängigkeit der verwendeten Nanosphären-Größe wurden dabei entweder kleine dreieckige Nanopartikel (NP) (bei Verwendung von Nanosphären mit einem Durchmesser von 330 nm) oder große dreieckige NPD sowie leicht gestreckte NP (bei Verwendung von Nanosphären mit einem Durchmesser von 1390 nm) hergestellt. Die Charakterisierung der PPAs erfolgte ...

Application of Temporal Airy Pulses for investigating the origin of Laser Induced Periodic Surface Structures and for developing new tools in cell surgery and malignant tissue identification
(2023)
In this thesis, ultrashort Temporal Airy Pulses are used to study Laser Induced Periodic Surface Structures (LIPSS) in Part I and to enable the photoinjection of fluorescent markers into single living cells in Part II, Chapter 8. In both cases, the laser pulse excites a dielectric material (fused silica and water) and the special spatio-temporal dynamics of the interaction of a Temporal Airy Pulse with the dielectric is exploited to extend the shape of the excited region along the axis of laser propagation. For the ...

Control of Open Quantum Systems: Examples & Methods for Non-Markovian Dynamics
(2023)
Usually open quantum systems are considered to be under the influence of noise and therefore faulty. On the other hand, a controlled system is regarded as something stable and predictable. It is often neglected, that the two aspects are very closely related. A perfectly isolated quantum system will not be subject to environmental influences, but this makes it also impossible to interact with it in any manner. Controlling and measuring such a system is impossible and therefore of no technical relevance. Every system ...

Towards the investigation of ultrafast dynamics in chiral systems using free-electron lasers
(2024)
Chiral molecules are life’s building blocks, making the study of their ultrafast processes a pursuit across various fundamental research fields. The results presented in this dissertation contain methodological, technical and scientific advancements that pave the way for future time-resolved, site-specific investigations into chiral photochemistry of randomly orientated molecules, using photoelectron circular dichroism and free-electron lasers. The high-repetitionrate free-electron lasers EuXFEL and FLASH2 will soon ...

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 ...

Electron Dynamics and Correlations in the High-order Harmonic Generation, Photoelectron Circular Dichroism, and Spin Polarization Phenomena
(2024)
Die Wechselwirkung von ionisierender Laserstrahlung mit Atomen und Molekülen kann zu faszinierenden Phänomenen führen. Darunter haben die Erzeugung hoher Harmonischer (HHG), der Photoelektronen Zirkulardichroismus (PECD), und die Spin Polarisation (SP) großes Interesse seit den 1970er Jahren auf sich gezogen. Der HHG-Prozess kann beobachtet werden, wenn hochintesive und langwellige Laserpulse mit Materie in Wechselwirkung treten. Die Spektren werden normalerweise in einer Einzelelektronnäherung beschrieben, welche ...
