Nanoengineering of Anisotropic Materials for Creating the Active Optical Cells with Increased Energy Efficiency
In this paper the state-of-the-art for exploiting the unique physical and
chemical properties of crystalline materials and their possible applications
for development of crystalline nanocomposites with the tailored anisotropy were
discussed. Using a method of growing crystals from a solution the KDP and TGS
nanocrystalites were grown in the mezopores of the Al2O3 matrix. To investigate
the developed nanocrystalline samples the X-ray analysis was used. A form of
the obtained diffractograms and our calculations show the predominant
crystallization of the KDP and TGS in the direction [100], which coincides with
the direction of the cylindrical pores. Thus, diffractograms contain only
reflexes of crystallographic planes (200) and (400). The achieved result
indicates the possibility of growing of nanocrystals in mesopores of such Al2O3
structures developed by us and provides the prospect of creating optical cells
with increased energy efficiency
Investigation of Negative Differential Resistance Phenomena in Quantum Well Heterostructures
Increasing interest in entirely new possibilities for quantum mechanical description of carriers transport is becoming more evident with the developing advancements in epitaxial growth technique. Consequently, molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) technique is considered to be the most precise technique that allows the growth of ultra-thin layers of different compositions.
Those structures can be designed to investigate the wave-nature of carriers, which broadens the possibilities in device design and fabrication for a specific area. In this thesis the fundamental study of the real space charge transfer (RST) mechanism that took place in quantum well heterostructures and led to the negative differential resistance observation is presented. Using the Hall effect measurement technique, the mobility and carrier concentration were measured and analyzed by considering different scattering mechanisms and carrier thermal activation phenomena, respectively.
Deep level noise spectroscopy (DLNS) was used to investigate and probe the materials for the presence of defects and impurity states, which were needed to achieve the RST. The pulsed I-V measurements were performed to observe the negative differential resistance (NDR). Finally, the lock-in technique and pulsed I-V technique with light excitation and temperature cycling were used to prove the presence of RST mechanism in our system. The results of this study can be implemented to create devices for high frequency applications
Coherent Laser Induced Synthesis of Rare Earth Doped Nanocrystallites of 50PbO-25BiO-20GaO-5BaO
A principal possibility of formation the nanostructures on the surfaces of
50PbO-25BiO-20GaO-5BaO (doped by Eu3+, Er3+, Dy3+) is
demonstrated by using multi-coherent beams. As a sources of the photoinducing
coherent light we have used nanosecond Nd:YAG and Er:Yb lasers generating at
1064 nm and 1540 nm, respectively. The morphology of the photoinduced surfaces
is sensitive to the type of rare earth ions. The thickness of the layer was
about 20-30 nm. Possible mechanisms are explained by coherent photoinduction of
the valence electrons
Paraelectric KHPO Nanocrystals in Monolithic Mesoporous Silica: Structure and Lattice Dynamics
Combining dielectric crystals with mesoporous solids allows a versatile
design of functional nanomaterials, where the porous host provides a mechanical
rigid scaffold structure and the molecular filling adds the functionalization.
Here, we report a study of the complex lattice dynamics of a
SiO:KHPO nanocomposite consisting of a monolithic, mesoporous
silica glass host with KHPO nanocrystals embedded in its tubular
channels 12 nm across. A micro-Raman investigation performed in the
spectral range of 70-1600 cm reveals the complex lattice dynamics of the
confined crystals. Their Raman spectrum resembles the one taken from bulk
KHPO crystals and thus, along with X-ray diffraction experiments,
corroborates the successful solution-based synthesis of KHPO
nanocrystals with a structure analogous to the bulk material. We succeeded in
observing not only the high-frequency internal modes (900-1200
cm), typical of internal vibrations of the PO tetrahedra, but, more
importantly, also the lowest frequency modes typical of bulk KHPO
crystals. The experimental Raman spectrum was interpreted with a group theory
analysis and first-principle lattice dynamics calculations. The analysis of
calculated eigen-vectors indicates the involvement of hydrogen atoms in most
phonon modes corroborating the substantial significance of the hydrogen
subsystem in the lattice dynamics of paraelectric bulk and of KHPO
crystals in extreme spatial confinement. A marginal redistribution of relative
Raman intensities of the confined compared to unconfined crystals presumably
originates in slightly changed crystal fields and interatomic interactions, in
particular for the parts of the nanocrystals in close proximity to the silica
pore surfaces.Comment: 10 pages, 4 figures, in pres
CdS Nanocrystallines: Synthesis, Structure and Nonlinear Optical Properties
We report the synthesis, structure and nonlinear optical properties of
cadmium sulphide (CdS) nanocrystallines (NCs) synthesized electrochemically
both with and without detergent ATLAS G3300. Relevant structural and
morphological features are explored by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron
microscopy (SEM) techniques. The efficiency of the second harmonic generation
(SHG) appears to be strongly dependent on the energy density of the incident
fundamental laser radiation and NC sizes.Comment: 2020 IEEE 15th International Conference on Advanced Trends in
