Which phenomenon slows down the dynamics in supercooled liquids and turns them into glasses is a long-standing question of condensed matter. Most popular theories posit that as the temperature decreases, many events must occur in a coordinated fashion on a ...

Full-area passivating contacts based on SiOx/poly-Si stacks are key for the new generation of industrial silicon solar cells substituting the passivated emitter and rear cell (PERC) technology. Demonstrating a potential efficiency increase of 1 to 2% compa ...

The majority of current semiconductor technologies are built on Si (100), such as the CMOS technology, or conventional solar cell devices. III-V semiconductors offer great perspectives given their high carrier mobility and direct band gap. However their in ...

After more than thirty years of continuous research and development, the performances of conventional Brillouin based distributed optical fiber sensors (DOFS) are now peaking, as they are facing fundamental barriers that restrict the power of the light inj ...

We investigate in-situ laser reflectometry for measuring the axial growth rate in chemical vapor deposition of assemblies of well-aligned vertical germanium nanowires grown epitaxially on single crystal substrates. Finite difference frequency domain optica ...

This thesis explores the application of recent advances in integrated photonics to the field of light detection and ranging (LiDAR). The progress in photonic integration allows for unprecedented levels of light manipulation on micrometer scales through the ...

During the last decade, III-VI layered semiconductors (GaSe, InSe, GaS, etc.) have emerged as potential candidates for various applications, such as FET and optoelectronic devices. The properties of this class of layered materials are strongly dependent on ...

Keeping up with our constantly connected lifestyle of instant messages and video streaming has its repercussions. Data centers have been gobbling up resources becoming a significant share of the energy used worldwide. To keep up with demand and curb the en ...

Two-dimensional (2D) crystals such as graphene or transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) are a fascinating class of quantum materials. These compounds are obtained isolating the single atomic sheets that normally form bulk layered crystals, and the reduc ...

The subject of the present work is discovery and in-depth characterization of a new class of functional materials. Tuning of the bond polarity and orbital occupation with a goal of establishing balance between localization and delocalization of electrons - ...

Recently, microresonator-based dissipative Kerr soliton frequency combs ( "soliton microcomb " ) have emerged as miniaturized optical frequency combs. So far, soliton microcombs have been realized in many CMOS-compatible material platforms including silico ...

Progress in nanotechnology, including fabrication and characterization tools, opened up the unprecedented low dimensional materials era, where we can manipulate and structure matter on a size scale that we could not reach before. Due to many interesting pr ...

Nonlinear frequency conversion processes, such as second-harmonic generation (SHG) and spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC), are essential in many applications, including the generation of entangled photons. It's desirable to enhance these process ...
