2. 1. Electronic materials : growth and characterisation

   Author : Michael A. Grishin; Ulf O. Karlsson; Massimo Sancrotti; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Electrophysics; Photoemission; Ultra-short laser pulse; Thin film; Laser deposition; InSb; InAs; GaSb; Ferroelectrics; Elektrofysik; Electrophysics; Elektrofysik;

   Abstract : In this thesis the InSb(111), InAs(111) and GaSb(001) surfaces have been studied by means of time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy based upon the femtosecond laser system. The pump-and-probe technique allows to analyse both electron states in the valence band and normally unpopulated electron states above the valence band, which can be occupied by transiently excited carriers at the optically pumped surface.

4. 2. Theoretical studies of collective electronic excitations in low-dimensional structures

   Author : Zhe Yuan; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; linear atomic chains; hydrogen storage; nanodisks; dielectric response; surface plasmon resonances; electron gas model; electronic excitation; metallic thin films; time-dependent density functional theory;

   Abstract : During the past decade, nanoplasmonics and nanophotonicshas emerged as a new branch of nanosciences with many novelapplications. Central in this development is the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) tunable by the sizes and shapes at nanometer scale. READ MORE

5. 3. Lateral Superlattices in Commensurate Magnetic Fields: Electronic Structure, Transport and Optical Properties

   Author : Egidijus Anisimovas; Matematisk fysik; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; tunneling; Physics; collective excitations; optical absorption; quantum Hall effect; electronic structure; two-dimensional electron systems; lateral superlattices; Electromagnetism; Fysik; optics; acoustics; Elektromagnetism; optik; akustik; Fysicumarkivet A:2001:Anisimovas;

   Abstract : The present thesis is devoted to the theoretical study of two-dimensional electron systems moving in a modulated lateral periodic potential and a competing perpendicular magnetic field. The three introductory chapters offer a brief exposition of the basic issues in this area -- the description of the electron motion in a prependicular magnetic field, the group of magnetic translations and the commensurability phenomena -- at an elementary level.

6. 4. Photoemission from Alkali Metal Overlayers: Quantum Wells, Photoelectron Interference and Atomic Structure Changes

   Author : Dan Claesson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; quantum well states; surface structure; alkali metals; angle resolved photoemission; surface electronic phenomena; thin films; collective excitations; electronic structure;

   Abstract : Angle resolved photoelectron spectroscopy is used to investigate alkali metal overlayers on noble metal surfaces. The work deals with interference in photoemission, bulk electronic structure and adsorption induced changes of atomic structure, respectively. The relative importance of surface and bulk in photoemission has remained largely unexplored. READ MORE
