1. Time-Resolved Photoemission Electron Microscopy: Development and Applications
Abstract : Time-resolved photoemission electron microscopy (TR-PEEM) belongs to a class of experimental techniquescombining the spatial resolution of electron-based microscopy with the time resolution of ultrafast opticalspectroscopy. This combination provides insight into fundamental processes on the nanometer spatial andfemto/picosecond time scale, such as charge carrier transport in semiconductors or collective excitations ofconduction band electrons at metal surfaces.

2. NbN and NbTiN Hot Electron Bolometer THz Mixers
Abstract : The thesis reports the development of Hot Electron Bolometer (HEB) mixers for radio astronomy heterodyne receivers in THz frequency range. Part of this work is the fabrication of HEB devices, which are based on NbN or NbTiN superconducting thin films (≤5 nm). They are integrated with wideband spiral or double-slot planar antennas.

3. Charge Separation on Localized Surface Plasmon and Hot Carrier Transfer to Semiconductors
Abstract : The relatively recent discovery that plasmonic nanoparticles generate energetic electron-hole pairs known as hot carriers has been the source of interest from many scientific groups. The capability to extract these short-lived hot carriers from metal nanoparticles (NPs) might potentially lead to applications in solar cells, photodetection, and photocatalysis. READ MORE

4. Thermoelectric- and hot-electron effects in graphene devices
Abstract : A technology of encapsulation of graphene in Parylene was introducedas an alternative to encapsulating graphene in hBN. Edge contacts to theencapsulated graphene in this case showed resistivity down to 14 Ohm um,which is the lowest reported value so far. READ MORE

5. Runaway-electron model development and validation in tokamaks
Abstract : Magnetic confinement fusion (MCF), in which a hot plasma at more than 100 million kelvin is confined using magnetic fields, is the most successful fusion energy concept developed to date. After decades of research, MCF devices designed to demonstrate a positive net energy output are being constructed, completing a crucial milestone on the path to making fusion a commercially viable energy source.
