  2. 1. Exciton-plasmon interactions in metal-semiconductor nanostructures

    Author : Staffan Hellström; Ying Fu; Mikael Käll; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; plasmons; excitons; quantum dots; nanoparticles; FDTD; surface plasmon polaritons; QDIP; quantum dot infrared photodetector; polaritons;

    Abstract : Semiconductor quantum dots and metal nanoparticles feature very strong light-matter interactions, which has led to their use in many photonic applications such as photodetectors, biosensors, components for telecommunications etc.Under illumination both structures exhibit collective electron-photon resonances, described in the frameworks of quasiparticles as exciton-polaritons for semiconductors and surface plasmon-polaritons for metals.

  4. 2. Strong Light-Matter Coupling: the Road from Conventional to Cavity-Free Polaritons

    Author : Adriana Canales Ramos; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Fabry-Pérot microcavities; self-hybridized polaritons; Mie modes; Strong and ultrastrong coupling; Lorentz resonances; decay rates; cavity-free polaritons; Casimir force; 2D–crystals; plasmons; water droplets.; self-assembled microcavities;

    Abstract : The interaction between light and matter is fundamental in perceiving and understanding the world. The interaction is typically weak, meaning light only perturbs matter without changing its properties. READ MORE

  5. 3. Microscopic Modeling of Exciton-Polaritons in Two-Dimensional Materials

    Author : Beatriz Ferreira; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; exciton-polaritons; 2D materials; diffusion; absorption;

    Abstract : Integrating 2D materials into high-quality optical microcavities opens the door to fascinating many-particle phenomena including the formation of exciton-polaritons. These are hybrid quasi-particles inheriting properties of both the constituent photons and excitons. READ MORE

  6. 4. Properties of small Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 intrinsic Josephson junctions: confinement, flux-flow and resonant phenomena

    Author : Sven-Olof Katterwe; Vladimir M. Krasnov; Alexey Ustinov; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; high-temperature superconductivity; intrinsic Josephson junctions; tunneling; fluxons; flux-flow oscillator; THz-emission; cavity resonances; polaritons; micro nano-fabrication; fysik; Physics;

    Abstract : In this thesis, intrinsic Josephson junctions, naturally formed in the strongly anisotropic high-temperature superconductor Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 (Bi-2212), are studied experimentally. For this purpose, small mesa structures are fabricated on the surface of single crystals using micro- and nano-fabrication tools, focused ion beam is used to reduce the area of the mesa-structures down to ≈ 1 × 1 μm2.

  7. 5. High-frequency phenomena in small Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x intrinsic Josephson junctions

    Author : Holger Motzkau; Vladimir M. Krasnov; Reinhold Kleiner; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; high-temperature superconductivity; Bi-2212; cuprates; intrinsic Josephson junctions; intrinsic tunneling; fluxons; flux-flow oscillator; THz-emission; cavity resonances; polaritons; electrical doping; micro nano-fabrication; fysik; Physics;

    Abstract : In this thesis, the tunneling between individual atomic layers in structures of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x based high-temperature superconductors are experimentally studied employing the intrinsic Josephson effect. A special attention is paid to the fabrication of small mesa structures using micro and nanofabrication techniques. READ MORE
