Wandering principal optical axes in van der Waals triclinic materials

Nature is abundant in material platforms with anisotropic permittivities arising from symmetry reduction that feature a variety of extraordinary optical effects. Principal optical axes are essential characteristics for these effects that define light-matte ...

van der Waals Materials for Overcoming Fundamental Limitations in Photonic Integrated Circuitry

Arslan Mazitov

With the advance of on-chip nanophotonics, there is a high demand for high-refractive-index and low-loss materials. Currently, this technology is dominated by silicon, but van der Waals (vdW) materials with a high refractive index can offer a very advanced ...

Nonlinear Inverse Problems in Quantitative Phase Imaging

Thanh-An Michel Pham

The topic of this thesis is the development of new algorithmic reconstruction methods for quantitative phase imaging (QPI). In the past decade, advanced QPI has emerged as a valuable tool to study label-free biological samples and uncover their 3D structur ...

Rapid Performance Optimization Method for Photoelectrodes

Sophia Haussener, Yannick Kenneth Gaudy

We report the development of a rapid method for the performance optimization of photoelectrodes. The method requires as an input incident photon-to-current efficiency (IPCE) measurements of a material at two or more wavelengths, an estimation of the comple ...

Local Structural Heterogeneity and Electromechanical Responses of Ferroelectrics: Learning from Relaxor Ferroelectrics

Dragan Damjanovic

Long-range ordering of dipoles is a key microscopic signature of ferroelectrics. These ordered dipoles form ferroelectric domains, which can be reoriented by electric fields. Relaxor ferroelectrics are a type of ferroelectric where the longrange ordering o ...

Determination and optimization of material parameters of particle-based LaTiO2N photoelectrodes

Sophia Haussener, Ulrich Aschauer, Yannick Kenneth Gaudy

We developed a validated numerical model capable of predicting the photocurrent-voltage characteristics of oxide and oxynitride particle-based photoelectrodes and identifying the critical parameters affecting the performance of those photoelectrodes. We us ...

Complex Refractive Indices of Cesium–Formamidinium-Based Mixed-Halide Perovskites with Optical Band Gaps from 1.5 to 1.8 eV

Christophe Ballif, Quentin Thomas Jeangros, Gabriel Christmann, Florent Sahli, Arnaud Walter, Sylvain Nicolay, Björn Niesen, Jérémie Werner, Gizem Nogay, Philipp Friedrich Hermann Löper, Matthias Wolfgang Bräuninger, Chien-Jen Yang, Peter Joseph Fiala

Cesium-formamidinium-based mixed-halide perovskite materials with optical band gaps ranging from 1.5 to 1.8 eV are investigated by variable-angle spectroscopic ellipsometry. The determined complex refractive indices are shown to depend on the fabrication p ...

Third-Order Optical Nonlinearity in Two-Dimensional Transition Metal Dichalcogenides

Sina Khorasani

We present a detailed calculation of the linear and nonlinear optical response of four types of monolayer twodimensional (2D) transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), having the formula MX2 with M = Mo, W and X = S, Se. The calculations are based on 6-ban ...
