Semiconductor-based device architectures in multimaterial fibers

William Nicolas Duncan Esposito

Semiconductor materials have given rise to today's digital technology and consumer electronics. Widespread adoption is closely linked to the ability to process and integrate them in devices at scale. Where flexibility and large surfaces are required, such ...

Supramolecular Polymer Brushes

Harm-Anton Klok, Friederike Katharina Metze

Polymer brushes are thin polymer films that consist of densely grafted, chain-end tethered polymers. These thin polymer films can be produced either by anchoring presynthesized chain-end functional polymers to the surface of interest ("grafting to"), or by ...

Stronger Reductive Environment in Solvothermal Synthesis Leads to Improved Ga Doping Efficiency in ZnO Nanocrystals and Enhanced Plasmonic Absorption

Reinis Ignatans

The key parameter for degenerated semiconductor oxide plasmonic nanocrystals is the doping level. Hydrothermal and solvothermal approaches are considered to be less effective toward achieving high concentration of aliovalent donor dopants in a host oxide w ...

Bottlebrush Dielectric Elastomers with Improved Properties for Actuation

Yeerlan Adeli

Dielectric elastomer actuators (DEA) are elastic capacitors composed of a pair of compliant electrodes and a soft dielectric elastomer film sandwiched in between. This kind of stretchable capacitors can be actuated when charged, can generate electricity fr ...

Mechanisms shifting the emission energy of self-assembled quantum dots in nanowires

Luca Francaviglia

This thesis is dedicated to the engineering of the emission energy of quantum dots embedded in core-shell GaAs-AlGaAs nanowires. The goal is to redshift the quantum-dot emission energy in resonance with a gas of Rb atoms. Segregation processes on the nanow ...

Exciton Dynamics and Effects of Structural Order in Morphology-Controlled J-Aggregate Assemblies

Frank Nüesch, Jakob Heier, Surendra Babu Anantharaman

Narrow-band photoluminescence (PL) together with high quantum efficiency from organic molecules is essential for high-color-purity emitters. Supramolecular assemblies like J-aggregates are promising materials due to their narrow PL signal with full-width a ...

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 ...

Rear-emitter silicon heterojunction solar cells with atomic layer deposited ZnO:Al serving as an alternative transparent conducting oxide to In2O3:Sn

Christophe Ballif, Matthieu Despeisse, Sylvain Nicolay, Loris Barraud, Antoine Descoeudres, Gabriel Christmann

Here high-efficiency (above 21%) large-area silicon heterojunction solar cells with atomic layer deposited ZnO:Al as front- or back-side transparent conducting oxide are demonstrated. Photoconductance decay measurements indicate that the excellent chemical ...

Tuning adatom mobility and nanoscale segregation by twin formation and polytypism

Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, Gözde Tütüncüoglu, Federico Matteini, Luca Francaviglia

Nanoscale variations in the composition of an AlxGa1−xAs shell around a GaAs nanowire affect the nanowire functionality and can lead to the formation of localized quantum emitters. These composition fluctuations can be the consequence of variations of crys ...
