Émission stimulée

thumb|Émission stimulée (lasers). L’émission stimulée (ou émission induite) est, en physique atomique, le processus de désexcitation d'un électron favorisé en illuminant l’atome d’une lumière ayant une longueur d’onde correspondant à l’énergie de transition entre les deux états électroniques. Ce processus, qui est la base du fonctionnement des lasers, ne peut être compris que dans le cadre de la théorie quantique des champs qui considère d’un point de vue quantique à la fois l’électron en orbite autour de l’atome ainsi que le champ électromagnétique qui interagit avec l’atome. Dans le cas de l’émission stimulée (à l'inverse de l’émission spontanée où le photon peut être émis dans n’importe quelle direction), les deux photons (le photon incident et le photon émis) sont émis dans la même direction. Aperçu Les électrons ainsi que leur interaction avec les champs magnétiques constituent une notion importante dans la compréhension de la physique et de la chimie. D’après la visi

Etude par STM de la déposition d'agrégats d'or sur TiO2 et mesure de l'émission électronique secondaire induite par l'impact d'agrégats sur une surface

Pierre Convers

This thesis work focuses on impact and diffusion processes as well as equilibrium positions of a metal deposited on a surface. The metal is deposited in the form of clusters containing n atoms in a controlled way. Gold or silver clusters cations (Au+n and Ag+n ) are used. Their size (n ∈ [1, 9]), charge state and deposition energy (E = 10 - 4500 eV) are well defined. The surface being at room temperature during the deposition, can be annealed and transferred in a scanning tunnelling microscope (STM) after deposition. The variable temperature microscope was developed during this thesis. The approach of the tip is carried out by an axial motor, which renders the microscope very stable. The first part of this work treats of the evolution of gold deposited on a TiO2(110) surface. Position and size of gold islands created by cluster or atomic depositions are determined by STM. Compared to atomic deposition at the same energy (10 < E < 100 eV), the cluster deposition produces smaller islands with a large islands density after annealing at 800 K. Regardless the deposition conditions, gold atoms diffuse on the surface already at 300 K. The impact energy is the key parameter to reduce the diffusion by cluster or atomic implantation or defect creation. Upon a high energy deposition, part of the deposited gold is invisible to the STM. The fate of these gold atoms is unclear : they are either buried under the surface or ejected in vacuum at the impact. The control of the islands size should permit the creation of a stable system with an optimum catalytic activity (i. e. CO combustion). Research groups have shown that this activity is strongly influenced by the islands size. It is equal to zero if the diameter is greater than 5 nm. The second part of this work is devoted to the electron emission γ induced by the impact of silver clusters Ag+n on a Pt and HOPG surface. Measurements are made by varying the impact energy (and so the speed v) of size-selected clusters on a defined surface. Impact velocity ranges from 104 to 105 m/s, which is lower than the classical threshold. Nevertheless every cluster size produces an electron emission. A potential emission (γ(v=0) ≠ 0) is observed for the monomer on both surfaces, which is caused by excited ions in a metastable state. The γ(v) curves are increasing, and no mesurable oscillation are observed. This does not confirm earlier work by Meiwes-Broer et al. These authors found oscillations in γ on similar systems relating them to the electronic structure of the clusters and the surface. A model based on heating of the electron gas is developed. This model gives good agreements with the γ(v) curves. The electronic temperature is estimated to 3000-8000 K. Similar behavior on both surfaces (Pt and HOPG) depending of the cluster size is shown. This behavior is probably related to the geometrical structure of the clusters. Finally, a more pronounced molecular effect is observed for the HOPG : the number of electrons emitted by the impact of a Ag+n is up to 7 times higher than the number of electrons emitted by impacts of n independent atoms. This value is smaller than 2 for the Pt surface.

Doping Evolution and Junction Formation in Stacked Cyanine Dye Light-Emitting Electrochemical Cells

Matia Bulloni, Roland Hany, Beat Ruhstaller, Lei Wang

Cyanine dyes are fluorescent organic salts with intrinsic conductivity for ionic and electronic charges. Recently (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2013, 135, 18008-18011), these features have been exploited in cyanine light-emitting electrochemical cells (LECs). Here, we demonstrate that stacked, constant-voltage driven trimethine cyanine LECs with various counteranions develop a p-i-n junction that is composed of p- and n-doped zones and an intrinsic region where light-emission occurs. We introduce a method that combines spectral photocurrent response measurements with optical modeling and find that at maximum current the intrinsic region is centered at similar to 37% away from the anode. Transient capacitance, photoluminescence and attenuance experiments indicate a device situation with a narrow p-doped region, an undoped region that occupies similar to 72% of the dye layer thickness and an n-doped region with a maximum doping concentration of 0.08 dopant/cyanine molecule. Finally, we observe that during device relaxation the parent cyanines are not reformed. We ascribe this to irreversible reactions between doped cyanine radicals. For sterically conservative cyanine dyes, this suggests that undesired radical decomposition pathways limit the LEC song-term stability in general.

Toward Bright and Pure Single Photon Emitters at 300 K Based on GaN Quantum Dots on Silicon

Raphaël Butté, Gordon Jens Callsen, Nicolas Grandjean, Kanako Shojiki, Johann Nicolaï Stachurski, Sebastian Pascal Tamariz Kaufmann

Quantum dots (QDs) based on III-nitride semi-conductors are promising for single photon emission at noncryogenic temperatures due to their large exciton binding energies. Here, we demonstrate GaN QD single photon emitters operating at 300 K with g((2)) (0) = 0.17 +/- 0.08. At this temperature, single photon emission rates up to 10 6 s(-1) are reached, while g((2)) (0)
