An Introduction To Supersymmetric Quantum Mechanics, Vincent R. Siggia Jan 2019

An Introduction To Supersymmetric Quantum Mechanics, Vincent R. Siggia

Theses and Dissertations

In this thesis, the general framework of supersymmetric quantum mechanics and the path integral approach will be presented (as well as the worked out example of the supersymmetric harmonic oscillator). Then the theory will be specialized to the case of supersymmetric quantum mechanics on Riemannian manifolds, which will start from a supersymmetric Lagrangian for the general case and the special case for S2. Afterwards, there will be a discussion on the superfield formalism. Concluding this thesis will be the Hamiltonian formalism followed by the inclusion of deforma- tions by potentials.


Time-Resolved Photoluminescence From Defects In N-Type Gan, Michael A. Reshchikov Jan 2014

Time-Resolved Photoluminescence From Defects In N-Type Gan, Michael A. Reshchikov

Physics Publications

Point defects in GaN were studied with time-resolved photoluminescence (PL). The effects of temperature and excitation intensity on defect-related PL have been investigated theoretically and experimentally. A phenomenological model, based on rate equations, explains the dependence of the PL intensity on excitation intensity, as well as the PL lifetime and its temperature dependence. We demonstrate that time-resolved PL measurements can be used to find the concentrations of free electrons and acceptors contributing to PL in n-type semiconductors.
