Inherent to the nanowire morphology is the exciting possibility of fabricating materials organized at the nanoscale in three dimensions. Composition and structure can be varied along and across the nanowire, as well as within coaxial shells. This opens up ...
In order to find electron sources of low emittance and high quantum efficiency, single tip cathodes with a microstructured surface are investigated. Emission currents up to 310 A were obtained, by combining a 2 ns, 50 kV accelerating voltage pulse with a 2 ...
A contacting scheme to measure the transport properties into self-assembled InAs Quantum Wires (QWRs) or Quantum Dots (QDs) is presented. The nanostructures are formed on the (110) cleaved edge of a AlAs/AlGaAs heterostructure substrate by means of the Cle ...
This thesis presents our studies on nanostructures growth and magnetism, mainly based on scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE), and x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) measurements. In most of these experiments, nanos ...
Electron spins in Si/SiGe quantum dots are one of the most promising candidates for a quantum bit for their potential to scale up and their long dephasing time. We report for the first time the experimental realization of single electron spin rotations in ...
The properties of semiconductors heterostructures of nanoscopic dimensions change from that of bulk material according to the rules of quantum mechanics. The planar quantum wells (QWs) are widely used in various diode and laser devices thanks to the relati ...
A detailed investigation and characterization of the local properties of individual nanoscopic structures is of great importance for the understanding of novel physical phenomena at the nanoscale as well as for the assessment of their possible use in futur ...
Three new lanthanide heterocyclic beta-diketonate complexes [Dy(PPI)(3)(EtOH)(2)] (1), [Dy(PPI)(3)(DPEPO)] (2), and [Tb(PPI)(3)(DPEPO)] (3) [where HPPI = 3-pheny1-4-propanoyl-5-isoxazolone and DPEPO = bis(2(diphenylphosphino)phenyl)ether oxide] have been s ...
We show nanometer-level localization accuracy of a single quantum-dot in three dimensions by self-interference and diffraction-pattern analysis. We believe that this approach has the capacity to push optical microscopy to the molecular level. ...
