Laser amplification in excited dielectrics
(2018-02-12)
Today, laser processing of dielectric materials with ultrashort, femtosecond laser pulses finds a great variety of applications. While ablation, cutting or welding of different types of glasses are widespread and popular examples, nanostructuring of transparent crystals or optoporating cells is part of more recent scientific studies. Although the material systems seem to be very different, their interaction with visible and infrared wavelengths is very similar: the light is simply transmitted. This changes drastically ...

Methods of generating carrier-envelope-phase stabilized, intense, few-cycle laser pulses
(2015-02-12)
Ultrafast laser pulses have become an integral part of the toolbox of countless laboratories doing physics, chemistry, and biological research. The work presented here is motivated by a section in the ever-growing, interdisciplinary research towards understanding the fundamental workings of light-matter interactions. Specifically, attosecond pulses can be useful tools to obtain the desired insight. However access to, and the utility of, such pulses is dependent on the generation of intense, few-cycle, carrier-envelope-phase ...

Surface modifications of nanocrystalline diamond films and their functionalization with phthalocyanines
(2016-06-30)
Boron-doped diamond is a promising electrode material for a number of applications providing efficient carrier transport, a high stability of the electrolytic performance with time, a possibility for dye-sensitizing with photosensitive molecules, etc. It can be functionalized with electron donor molecules, like phthalocyanines or porphyrins, for the development of light energy conversion systems. For effective attachment of such molecules, the diamond surface has to be modified by plasma- or photo-chemical processes ...
Dissertation
Fabrication of diamond nanostructures and investigation of the imbedded NV centers
(2015-02-24)
Diamant ist ein Material mit vielen außerordentlichen Eigenschaften, die ihn zu einem äußerst vielversprechenden Kandidaten für Anwendungen in Wissen-schaft und Technik machen. In den letzten Jahren wurde Diamant häufig als einzigartige Plattform für neue Anwendungen beispielsweise in der Quanteninformationstechnologie (QIT) oder in der Magnetometrie im Nanometermaßstab eingesetzt, wobei einer der wichtigsten lumineszierenden Gitterdefekte im Diamantgitter eingesetzt wird. Dabei handelt es sich um die sogenannten ...

Discrimination between organically and conventionally grown winter wheat by means of holistic and selected analytical methods
(2009-04-08)
Die Verordnung des Europäischen Rates (EC) 834/2007 erkennt das Recht des Konsumenten auf eine Entscheidung basierend auf vollständiger Information bezüglich der enthaltenen Zutaten im Produkt und deren Herkunft (Qualität der Verarbeitung). Die primäre Kennzeichnungsverordnung betont „organische“ Produktionsstandards ebenso wie die Notwendigkeit zur Kontrolle und Aufsicht. Jedoch ist zurzeit keine validierte Methode zur analytischen Diskriminierung zwischen „organischer“ und „konventioneller“ Herkunft von angebotenen ...

The Surface Plasmon Resonance of Supported Noble Metal Nanoparticles: Characterization, Laser Tailoring, and SERS Application
(2007-07-20)
This work deals with the optical properties of supported noble metal nanoparticles, which are dominated by the so-called Mie resonance and are strongly dependent on the particles’ morphology. For this reason, characterization and control of the dimension of these systems are desired in order to optimize their applications. Gold and silver nanoparticles have been produced on dielectric supports like quartz glass, sapphire and rutile, by the technique of vapor deposition under ultra-high vacuum conditions. During the ...

Effects of different tillage treatments on labile soil organic matter pools and stabilization processes
(2013-06-26)
An improved understanding of soil organic carbon (Corg) dynamics in interaction with the mechanisms of soil structure formation is important in terms of sustainable agriculture and reduction of environmental costs of agricultural ecosystems. However, information on physical and chemical processes influencing formation and stabilization of water stable aggregates in association with Corg sequestration is scarce. Long term soil experiments are important in evaluating open questions about management induced effects on ...

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 ...

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 ...
