  • Nonlinear terahertz spectroscopy of carbon nanomaterials and semiconductor nanostructures

    Creator:
    Paul, Michael Jason
    Abstract:
    This thesis will cover my work relating to the developing field of terahertz (THz) science and technology. It will present experimental and theoretical studies investigating the optical and electrical properties of various material systems using novel THz imaging and spectroscopy techniques. Due to its low photon energy, THz imaging and...

  • Electrical and optical properties of semi-insulating and ion-implanted GaAs and InP

    Creator:
    Rhee, Jin Koo
    Abstract:
    The electrical and optical properties of semi-insulating, epitaxial and ion-implanted GaAs and InP have been characterized and analyzed. Electron and hole traps in semi-insulating GaAs and InP, with activation energies ΔE[subscript T] ranging from 0.16 ± 0.01 to 0.98 ± 0.01 eV, have been detected and characterized by Photo-Induced Current...

  • On the photoresponse of several novel oligoacene and anthradithiophene derivatives

    Creator:
    Day, Jonathan
    Abstract:
    The results of an investigation into carrier dynamics in several novel functionalized and solution-processable pentacene and anthradithiophene derivatives are reported. Measurements were made of real-time photoresponse of polycrystalline thin films of these materials to ultrafast laser pulses, on picosecond to microsecond time-scales, as well as measurements of dark current and...

  • Optoelectronic properties of organic semiconductor materials : from bulk to single molecule

    Creator:
    Shepherd, Whitney E. B.
    Abstract:
    The behavior and application of organic semiconductor materials depend strongly on their molecular structure, and molecular interactions. Several studies of intermolecular interactions in functionalized polyacene materials are presented. The degree and onset of aggregation of a functionalized anthradithiophene derivative was studied as a function of concentration in two different host...

  • Transport properties of CuSc₁₋(subscript x)Mg(subscript x)O₂₊(subscript y) and BaCu₂S₂ transparent semiconductors

    Creator:
    Kykyneshi, Robert
    Abstract:
    Bulk properties of CuSc₁₋ₓMgₓO₂, CuSc₁₋ₓMgₓO₂₊y, BaCu₂S₂, Bai₁₋ₓKCu₂S₂, BaCu₂Se₂ and Bai₁₋ₓKₓCu₂Se₂ are investigated supporting the search for highly conductive p-type thin films. Mg is an efficient dopant in CuScO₂ with conductivity up to l.5.10⁻² S/cm. Oxidation of CuScO₂:Mg leads to further increase in conductivity up to 0.5 S/cm. The amount of...

  • Synthesis and study of transparent p- and n-type semiconductors and luminescent materials

    Creator:
    Park, Cheol-Hee
    Abstract:
    New transparent p- and n-type semiconductors and luminescent materials have been prepared and characterized. Synthesis, structures, optical and electrical properties of new chalcogenide fluoride p-type transparent semiconductors MCuQF (M=Ba, Sr; Q=S, Se, Te) are described. Band-gap tuning and improvement in conductivity through p-type doping are demonstrated in the family. The...

  • Electronic and Optical Properties of Organic Semiconductors : Experiment and Simulation

    Creator:
    Johnson, Brian
    Abstract:
    The continued development of organic semiconductor materials relies on an understanding of the relationship between optoelectronic properties, molecular structure, and molecular interaction. Several detailed studies of electronic properties in functionalized polyacene materials are presented. A computational model which allows the extraction of charge generation and transport properties from experimental data...

  • NMR studies of CdF₂:Ga and CdF₂:Ga,Y

    Creator:
    Hilger, Derrick J.
    Abstract:
    Crystals of CdF₂:In and CdF₂:Ga reduced in a cadmium vapor exhibit unusual metastable properties that can be explained by a "negative U" model. This work uses NMR to investigate this model for CdF₂:Ga and CdF₂:Ga,Y and compare the results to optical measurements. Temperature dependent relaxation measurements were done on ¹¹³Cd...

  • Modeling of the orientation dependence of scanned HgCdTe infrared detectors

    Creator:
    Reudink, Mark D.
    Abstract:
    Mercury cadmium telluride is important in the detection of electromagnetic radiation in the eight to twelve micron atmospheric window for infrared imaging systems. High resolution infrared imaging systems use either large (256x256 element to 1024x1024 element) staring arrays or much smaller (1-6 element) scanned arrays in which the image is...
