  4. 2. Near-field scanning optical microscopy and fractal characterization with atomic force microscopy and other methods

    Author : Anders Mannelquist; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Fysik; Fysik;

    Abstract : This thesis is devoted to the development of near-field scanning optical microscopy (NSOM) for aqueous solutions and to fractal characterization of steel surfaces with atomic force microscopy (AFM) and other methods. NSOM combines optical properties from a light microscope and the technique of scanning probe microscopy, SPM (invented in the early 1980’s). READ MORE

  5. 3. Localization effects in ternary nitride semiconductors

    Author : Vytautas Liuolia; Saulius Marcinkevicius; Toshiharu Saiki; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; AlGaN; InGaN; AlInN; LEDs; near-field microscopy; carrier dynamics; alloy fluctuations; carrier localization; built-in electric field; nonpolar planes; polarized luminescence;

    Abstract : InGaN based blue and near-ultraviolet light emitting diodes and laser diodes have been successfully commercialized for many applications such as general lighting, display backlighting and high density optical storage devices. Despite having a comparably high defect density, these devices are known for their efficient operation, which is attributed to localization in potential fluctuations preventing carriers from reaching the centers of nonradiative recombination.

    Abstract : The modern InGaN technology demonstrates high efficiencies only in the blue spectral region and low current operation modes. The growth of InGaN quantum wells (QWs) on nonbasal crystallographic planes (NBP) has potential to deliver high-power blue and green light emitting diodes and lasers. READ MORE

  7. 5. Optical properties of GaN and InGaN studied by time- and spatially-resolved spectroscopy

    Author : Tomas Uždavinys; Saulius Marcinkevičius; Audrius Alkauskas; KTH; []
