Spectroscopy and kinetic studies of electron-hole recombination in CdSe nanoparticles

This thesis presents an experimental study of the energy and time-resolved optical response of chemically prepared CdSe nanoparticles with different sizes, shapes (dots, rods, and tetrapods), and lattice structures (wurtzite and zinc blende). The first par ...

Exciton correlations within an electron gas

Jean Berney

I report on the effect of a moderate excess electron population on nonlinearities in modulation-doped CdTe quantum wells. I show that the electron population does not qualitatively affect the nature of correlations between excitons. In this respect, I brin ...

Single hole and vortex excitations in the doped Rokhsar-Kivelson quantum dimer model on the triangular lattice

Dmitri Ivanov, Samuel Bieri, Hugo Ribeiro

We consider the doped Rokhsar-Kivelson quantum dimer model on the triangular lattice with one mobile hole (monomer) at the Rokhsar-Kivelson point. The motion of the hole is described by two branches of excitations: the hole may either move with or without ...

Time resolved luminescence measurements on polydiacetylenes

Christian Blumer

In this work time resolved luminescence measurements on the red phase of 3BCMU are presented. These polydiacetylenes form an ordered and isolated one dimensional model system. This work is divided in two parts. First we present an excitation spectrum in ch ...

Dynamics and coherent effects on high density plasmas in semiconductor nanostructures

Lars Kappei

This thesis work contains an experimental study of many-body and cooperative effects in quantum wells. Many-body effects prove important for an understanding of the physical and specifically optical properties of semiconductors. The Coulomb interaction bet ...

The rod and hole paradox re-examined

Christian Gruber, Harald Van Lintel

In the rod and hole paradox as described by Rindler (1961 Am. J. Phys. 29 365–6) ('length contraction paradox'), a rigid rod moves at high speed over a table towards a hole of the same size. A bystander expects the rod to fall into the hole, but a co-movin ...

Influence of the protein environment on spectroscopy and ultrafast dynamics of retinal in bacteriorhodopsin

Selma Schenkl

The environment is important for the exact course of a chemical reaction. As an example of the strong influence of the environment on the reaction, this work studies the isomerization reaction of the chromophore retinal in the binding pocket of the protein ...

Near-field spectroscopy and theoretical modeling of disordered semiconductor quantum wires

Andrea Feltrin

In this thesis work, we report scanning near-field optical photoluminescence spectroscopy measurements with at best 200 nm spatial resolution performed on disordered semiconductor V-groove AlGaAs/GaAs quantum wires. In order to interpret the results of the ...

Photoluminescence spectra and level repulsion in quantum wires

Benoît Marie Joseph Deveaud, Vincenzo Savona, Andrea Crottini, Andrea Feltrin, Xiao Wang

Luminescence spectra of V-groove GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wires are investigated by spatially resolved photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy using a low temperature scanning near-field optical microscope (SNOM). The statistical analysis of these spectra in terms ...

Quasiparticle scattering processes in a model Fermi liquid: 1T-TiTe2

Giorgio Margaritondo, Marco Grioni, Helmuth Berger, Luca Perfetti

We performed angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES) and resistivity measurements on the layered metal 1T-TiTe2. We determined the quasiparticle dispersion and lifetime. In particular, we could characterize and separately evaluate the effects of ...
