This work is dedicated to the study of models of quantum chaos. It is clear that one cannot define chaos in quantum mechanics the same way it is defined in classical dynamics. The classical definition of chaos relies upon the ideas of sensitive dependence ...
The authors measured the elec. field induced linear dichroism for a wide range of sizes of CdSe nanocrystals. Large ground-state dipole moments were obsd., esp. for the smallest crystals. In these, the authors found a very large anisotropy of the absorptio ...
The aim of this thesis is to supply a theoretical study of the interaction mechanisms between quantum dots beyond the simple picture of macroatoms. Coulomb interaction between excitons, exciton-phonon interaction as well as radiative interaction are, in pa ...
We investigate the interplay of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions and an external field in spin-1∕2 dimers. For isolated dimers and at low field, we derive simple expressions for the staggered and uniform magnetizations which show that the orientation of ...
Microfabricated probes for Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy of living cells in very small quantities have been developed in this thesis. These microprobes are based on two different sample interfaces: Channel microprobes, which confine a stack ...
The dynamics of charging and recombination of photoexcited, site-controlled semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) are investigated using microphotoluminescence (PL) and photon-correlation spectroscopy combined with rate equation modeling. Several species of neu ...
We have studied the spin excitations of ferromagnetic rings and observed a distinct series of quantized modes in the vortex state. We attribute them to spin waves that circulate around the ring and interfere constructively. They form azimuthal eigenmodes o ...

Broadband spectroscopy on spin waves is performed on a square Ni 80 Fe 20 antidot lattice with deep-submicron holes. Depending on the in-plane magnetic field H applied under different angles η , characteristic multiple resonances are resolved. Substantiate ...
The aim of this thesis work was to obtain a deeper understanding of spin-dependent transport by the study of mixed effects of heat and charge currents in magnetic nanostructures. Indeed, even thermodynamics establish a relationship between both currents, n ...
