    Abstract : An efficient transfer of energy in molecular systems has proven to be of fundamental importance both in nature and industrial applications. The ability of molecules to work together forming collective excitations, so-called excitons, plays a key role in for example the extraordinary fast energy transfer involved in the first steps of photosynthesis.

  4. 2. Theoretical Considerations of Local Environment Effects in Alloys

    Author : Tobias Marten; Igor Abrikosov; Josef Kudrnovský; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Condensed matter physics; Kondenserade materiens fysik;

    Abstract : This thesis is devoted to a theoretical study of local environment effects in alloys. A fundamental property of a disordered system is that all chemically equivalent atoms are different due to their different chemical environments, in contrast to an ideal periodic solid where all the atoms that occupy equivalent positions in the crystal have exactly the same physical properties.

  5. 3. Towards Efficient Quantum Memories in Rare-Earth-Ion-Doped Solids

    Author : Atia Amari; Atomfysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; rare-earth-ion-doped crystals; spectral hole-burning spectroscopy; AFC; CRIB; superradiance; slow light; Quantum memories; photon echo; EIT;

    Abstract : This thesis describes experiments aimed at developing a key component in applications such as quantum networks and long-distance quantum communication systems: quantum memories. Quantum memories for light using photon-echo and coherent rephrasing techniques have been developed. The work is carried out on rare-earth-ion-doped inorganic crystals. READ MORE

  6. 4. Semiconductor Quantum Dots Studied by Time-Resolved Luminescence Techniques

    Abstract : In this thesis time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopyis presented as a powerful tool to study the carrier dynamicsin various self-assembled quantum dot (QD) structures, whichare potentially attractive for device applications. The experiments reveal the impact of proton irradiation onInGaAs QDs and comparable quantum wells. READ MORE

  7. 5. Single-­molecule spectroscopy of π-­conjugated polymers

    Author : Oleg Mirzov; Kemisk fysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; fluorescence lifetime; low temperature; spectral diffusion; blinking; MEH-PPV; Single-molecule spectroscopy; π-conjugated polymers; 2D polarization; Monte Carlo; energy transfer;

    Abstract : When applied to condensed-matter samples of large organic molecules, optical spectroscopy faces the problem of inhomogeneous broadening caused by the diversity of environments and conformations that sample molecules are subjected to. This severely limits the information that can be extracted from optical spectra. READ MORE
