The optical properties of high-quality V-groove GaAs/AlxGa1-xAs quantum wires have been investigated using low-temperature photoluminescence (PL) and photoluminescence excitation (PLE) techniques. We systematically study the evolution of PL and PLE spectra ...
A possible anomaly in the temperature dependence of nonlinear dielectric susceptibility chi(nl) of relaxor ferroelectrics related with the freezing phase transition was investigated. First, based on the phenomenological approach, the anomaly in the chi(nl) ...
This paper presents an extension of the generalized multipole technique (GMT) for 2D anisotropic scatterers. New expansions similar to the Bessel multipole expansion are derived for arbitrary anisotropic media. Numerical simulations prove the accuracy and ...
We report the optical properties of high quality V-groove GaAs/Al0.3Ga0.7.As quantum wires (QWRs) with different thicknesses of the GaAs layer. The systematic investigation of photoluminescence (PL) and photoluminescence excitation (PLE) spectra as a funct ...
We report on the electric field effects in photoluminescence (PL) and PL excitation (PLE) measurements of reverse-biased GaAs V-groove quantum wires. We observe large redshifts (9 meV at 265 kV/cm) of PL and PLE peaks as well as field dependent intensity a ...
H-1 and C-13 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) relaxation studies of thiophenol-capped CdS nanocrystals are presented. The transverse and longitudinal relaxation times were investigated as a function of nanocrystal radius, and the transverse relaxation time ...
We describe an approach to optical lithography using light-scattering contact masks with protruding elements that couple light into a photoresist. This method differs from conventional contact lithography in two important ways. First, because portions of t ...
We have studied the effect of valence band mixing on the optical properties of semiconductor quantum wires by analyzing the luminescence polarization. Large polarization anisotropy is observed and directly compared to the effects predicted by a k . p model ...
Using a model structure consisting of a network of corner sharing tetrahedra, we calculate the infrared spectrum of amorphous SiO2 within a first-principles approach and find good agreement with experiment both for the positions and the intensities of the ...
Two novel schemes are described for cross polarization in NMR that make it possible to achieve an efficient transfer of polarization from abundant I spins to dil. S spins under high-speed magic angle spinning spectroscopy, which is useful for systems with ...
