  • Nonlinear Terahertz Spectroscopy and imaging of Carbon Nanomaterials

    Creator:
    Lee, Byounghwak
    Abstract:
    This dissertation presents nonlinear terahertz (THz) properties of carbon nanomaterials investigated by time-resolved high-field THz spectroscopy. In order to determine THz characteristics of nanomaterials, we performed THz power spectrum measurement, THz raster imaging, THz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) and time-resolved pump-probe experiment on two different types of single layer graphene and...

  • Gravity interpretation using the Fourier integral

    Creator:
    Odegard, Mark Erie
    Abstract:
    The gravitational anomalies of simple bodies (sphere, cylinder, and fault) were used to develop methods for analyzing gravity data in the frequency domain. The Fourier transforms of the functional representations of the theoretical gravitational anomalies of these bodies were obtained. Mathematical formulations were made between the transform versus frequency relationships...

  • Optical Development and Materials Applications of Tunable Femtosecond Stimulated Raman Spectroscopy

    Creator:
    Zhu, Liangdong
    Abstract:
    To obtain a mechanistic understanding of the chemical processes, techniques that offer a frame-by-frame visualization of molecular structure during a reaction are of vital importance. Numerous efforts and advances have been made in order to acquire such vivid molecular “movies”, especially in the electronic excited state. Ultrafast molecular spectroscopy method...

  • Terahertz-wave generation in quasi-phase-matched GaAs

    Creator:
    Vodopyanov, K. L., Fejer, M. M., Yu, X., Harris, J. S., Lee, Yun-Shik, Hurlbut, Walter C., Kozlov, V. G., Bliss, D., and Lynch, C.
    Abstract:
    The authors demonstrate an efficient room temperature source of terahertz radiation using femtosecond laser pulses as a pump and GaAs structures with periodically inverted crystalline orientation, such as diffusion-bonded stacked GaAs and epitaxially grown orientation-patterned GaAs, as a nonlinear optical medium. By changing the GaAs orientation-reversal period (504–1277 μm), or...

  • High-field terahertz response of graphene

    Creator:
    Paul, M. J., Chang, Y. C., Thompson, Z. J., Stickel, A., Wardini, J., Choi, H., Minot, E. D., Norris, T. B., and Lee, Yun-Shik
    Abstract:
    We investigate the response of multi-layer epitaxial graphene and chemical vapor deposition (CVD)-grown single-layer graphene to strong terahertz (THz) fields. Contrary to theoretical predictions of strong nonlinear response, the transmitted fields exhibit no harmonic generation, indicating that the nonlinear response is limited by fast electron thermalization due to carrier-carrier scattering....

  • Generation and manipulation of THz waves

    Creator:
    Amer, Naaman
    Abstract:
    In this thesis I studied several THz components that can be used for potential THz technology. THz waves were generated in nonlinear medium via optical rectification of femtosecond optical pulses. Utilizing the phase matching condition between the optical and THz waves in a ZnTe crystal, single-cycle broad-band THz pulses were...

  • Interlayer Electronic Interactions in Twisted and Stacked Bilayer Graphene

    Creator:
    Patel, Hiral
    Abstract:
    The photophysical properties of two-dimensional (2D) layered van der Waals (vdW) materials, and their heterostructures are manifestly distinct from crystalline bulk materials. Recently, the discovery of new 2D vdW materials and strongly-bound interlayer excitons in these materials has created a new branch in nanoscience. As such, there are a number...

  • Terahertz Induced Non-linear Electron Dynamics in Nanoantenna Coated Semiconductors at the Sub-picosecond Timescale

    Creator:
    Stickel, Andrew
    Abstract:
    This dissertation is an exploration of the material response to Terahertz (THz) radiation. Specifically we will explore the ultrafast electron dynamics in the nonperturbative regime in semiconductors that have been patterned with nanoantenna arrays using broadband, high intensity, THz radiation. Three main semiconductor materials will be studied in this work....

    Reidy, Christopher F.
    Abstract:
    Several topics are presented in this dissertation, each of which has applications to solar cells and photodetectors. First, we discuss the growth of Cu10Te4S13, copper tellurium tetrahedrite. This material has interesting optical properties; it has a large joint density of states at the conduction band maximum and valence band minimum,...

    Abstract:
    This thesis conveys the key technical features and scientific applications of a particle-particle ballistic simulation tool (SpaceLab) as well as a high level overview of experiments it was designed for and executed on. SpaceLab simulates spherical particle interactions under any combination of self-gravity, sliding friction, rolling friction, Van-Der-Waals (VDW) cohesion...
