  • 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....

  • Generating and using terahertz radiation to explore carrier dynamics of semiconductor and metal nanostructures

    Creator:
    Jameson, Andrew D.
    Abstract:
    In this thesis, I present studies in the field of terahertz (THz) spectroscopy. These studies are divided into three areas: Development of a narrowband THz source, the study of carrier transport in metal thin films, and the exploration of coherent dynamics of quasi-particles in semiconductor nanostructures with both broadband and...

  • High-Field Terahertz Spectroscopy of Nanoscale Materials

    Creator:
    Mousavian, Ali
    Abstract:
    This dissertation covers my work relating to the application of strong terahertz (THz) radiation to study the nonlinear properties of nano-scale material. It presents experimental and numerical studies on the optical and electronic properties of various material system including single-layer graphene, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), nanoantenna-patterned gallium arsenide (GaAs) and...

  • Terahertz transmission & spectroscopy of vertically grown multi-walled carbon nanotube forests

    Creator:
    Maizy, Louis
    Abstract:
    In this thesis, I present studies in the field of terahertz [THz] spectroscopy. It covers both the generation and detection of ultra-fast broadband THz pulses, as well as the transmission properties of vertically grown multi-walled carbon nanotube forests [MWCNTs]. We have found that these vertically grown MWCNTs respond strongly to...

  • Terahertz Imaging and Nonlinear Spectroscopy of Semiconductors using Plasmonic Devices

    Creator:
    Thompson, Zachary James
    Abstract:
    In this dissertation, a series of studies in the field of terahertz (THz) science are presented, specifically using nonlinear THz spectroscopy. We exploit huge field enhancement and subwavelength confinement in plasmonic structures. There are three distinct projects which will be discussed: nonlinear THz spectroscopy using plasmonic induced transparency (PIT), THz-triggered...
