  2. 1. Scanning Tunneling Microscopy Induced Luminescence Studies of Semiconductor Nanostructures

    Author : Ulf Håkanson; Fasta tillståndets fysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; transmission electron microscopy TEM ; III-V semiconductors; low-dimensional structures; nanostructures; single dot spectroscopy; Stranski-Krastanow; quantum dot QD ; Semiconductory physics; polarization; ordering; InP; GaInP; photon mapping; scanning tunneling microscopy STM ; scanning tunneling luminescence STL ; Halvledarfysik; Fysicumarkivet A:2003:Håkanson;

    Abstract : This thesis treats scanning tunneling luminescence (STL) investigations of semiconductor nanostructures. The STL technique combines scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) with detection of photons, induced by the tunneling electrons. The high spatial resolution in STM and the local excitation allow for optical investigations on the nanometer-scale. READ MORE

    Abstract : The concept of the transfer Hamiltonian formalism has been reconsidered and generalized to include the non-orthogonality between the electron states in an interacting region, e.g. quantum dot (QD), and the states in the conduction bands in the attached contacts. READ MORE

  5. 3. Fluorescence Properties of Quantum Dots and Their Utilization in Bioimaging

    Author : Hao Xu; Ying Fu; Hjalmar Brismar; Marina Zelenina; Mattias Goksör; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Fluorescence; Microscopy; Bioimaging; Nanomaterial; cytotoxicity; mechanism; Biological Physics; Biologisk fysik;

    Abstract : Quantum dots (QDs), especially colloidal semiconductor QDs, possess properties including high quantum yields, narrow fluorescence spectra, broad absorption and excellent photostability, making them extremely powerful in bioimaging. In this thesis, we studied the fluorescence properties of QDs and attempted multiple ways to boost applications of QDs in bioimaging field. READ MORE

    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Epitaxial InAs quantum dot solar cell;

    Abstract : This thesis studies p-i-n GaAs solar cells with self-assembled InAs quantum dots (QDs) inserted. The values of this work lie in three aspects. READ MORE

  7. 5. Optical Studies of Single Quantum Dots

    Author : Jonas Persson; Fasta tillståndets fysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; nano-optics; quantum optics; photoluminescence; micro-photoluminescence; single photon generation; Semiconductory physics; Halvledarfysik; low-dimensional structures; quantum dots; Stranski-Krastanow; Fysicumarkivet A:2004:Persson;

    Abstract : This thesis presents spectroscopic studies of single self-assembled InP quantum dots (QDs). The electronic properties of these QDs have been studied by photoluminescence (PL) and scanning tunnelling luminescence (STL). The QDs were grown in the Stranski-Krastanow mode and were embedded in GaInP. READ MORE
