Controlling crystal cleavage in focused ion beam shaped specimens for surface spectroscopy

Philip Johannes Walter Moll, Matthias Carsten Putzke, Andrew Scott Hunter

Our understanding of quantum materials is commonly based on precise determinations of their electronic spectrum by spectroscopic means, most notably angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and scanning tunneling microscopy. Both require atomicall ...

Nanoscale Mapping of Light Emission in Nanospade-Based InGaAs Quantum Wells Integrated on Si(100): Implications for Dual Light-Emitting Devices

Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, Didem Dede, Valerio Piazza, Raphaël François Lemerle, Jean-Baptiste Leran, Wonjong Kim, Nicolas Tappy, Nicholas Paul Morgan, Akshay Balgarkashi, Titouan Charvin

III-V semiconductors outperform Si in many optoelectronics applications due to their high carrier mobility, efficient light emission and absorption processes, and the possibility to engineer their band gap through alloying. However, complementing Si techno ...

Determination of Conduction and Valence Band Electronic Structure of LaTiOxNy Thin Film

Nicola Marzari, Ivano Eligio Castelli, Alexander Wokaun

The nitrogen substitution into the oxygen sites of several oxide materials leads to a reduction of the band gap to the visible-light energy range, which makes these oxynitride semiconductors potential photocatalysts for efficient solar water splitting. Oxy ...

Spin-Relaxation Anisotropy in a GaAs Quantum Dot

Pasquale Scarlino

We report that the electron spin-relaxation time T1 in a GaAs quantum dot with a spin-1/2 ground state has a 180° periodicity in the orientation of the in-plane magnetic field. This periodicity has been predicted for circular dots as being due to the inter ...

Interaction between liquid aluminium and solid iron Al-rich intermetallics formation

Guillaume Pasche

Intermetallic phases formation is one of the phenomena, which when coupled to thermal and mechanical strains leads to the premature wear of aluminium die casting tools made out of steel. This work focuses on two aspects of this wear problem. The first and ...

Interfacial Energy Anisotropy and Growth Morphologies in Aluminium-Zinc Alloys

Jonathan Friedli

This thesis presents an investigation aimed at the understanding of the effect of interfacial energy anisotropy on growth morphologies in Al-Zn alloys. Most low alloyed metals form dendritic structures that grow along directions that correspond to low inde ...
