Theoretical Modeling Of Linear Absorption Coefficients In Si/Si1-Xgex Multiple Quantum Well Photodetectors, Kevin D. Greene
Theoretical Modeling Of Linear Absorption Coefficients In Si/Si1-Xgex Multiple Quantum Well Photodetectors, Kevin D. Greene
Theses and Dissertations
Si/Si1-xGex MQW Infrared Photodetectors offer the promise of normal incidence photodetection tunable over the range of 3-12 micrometers wavelength range at temperatures above 40 K. This system is attractive because the Si1-xGex offers greater compatibility with existing Si based signal processing circuitry. Band structures, momentum matrix elements and linear absorption coefficients are computed using a Luftinger-Kohn k/p analysis for Si/Si1-xGex quantum wells grown in the 110 direction. The absorption coefficient as a function of energy and wavelength is calculated by two methods: a delta function fit to intersubband transitions, and a …
Electrical Characterization Of Intrinsic And Induced Deep Level Defects In Hexagonal Sic, James D. Scofield
Electrical Characterization Of Intrinsic And Induced Deep Level Defects In Hexagonal Sic, James D. Scofield
Theses and Dissertations
Deep level defects in hexagonal SiC were studied using digital deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) methods over the temperature range of 100 to 800 deg K. New centers were found in bulk and epitaxial 6H-SiC with ionization energies between 0.38 to 1.3 eV, and levels from 0.2 to 0.856 eV were identified in 4H-SiC epitaxy. Direct correlation between inequivalent lattice sites was identified for energetic pairs associated with both vanadium and ion implanted Mg impurities. Nonradioative carrier capture mechanisms were studied and deep level trapping was found to proceed via lattice relaxation multi-phonon emission, indicating efficient electronic lattice coupling in …
Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy On Solution Samples Using Surface Excitation, Leonard M. Berman
Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy On Solution Samples Using Surface Excitation, Leonard M. Berman
Theses and Dissertations
Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is a spectroscopic technique where output from a pulsed laser is focused onto a target in order to create an intense plasma. The optical emission is characteristic of the elements in the focal volume and can be used for elemental analysis. Research on the detection of nickel in solution in addition to solvent detection of CCl4, CHCl3, C2Cl4, and C2HCl3 has been performed. Breakdown was formed at the sample surface via a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser. Initially, operation of the laser was at 1064 nm/repetition rate of 5 Hz. Experiments …
A 2-D Numerical Simulation And Analysis Of A Simple Band Model For The Priz Spatial Light Modulator, Gary D. Barmore
A 2-D Numerical Simulation And Analysis Of A Simple Band Model For The Priz Spatial Light Modulator, Gary D. Barmore
Theses and Dissertations
This dissertation discusses the development of and analyzes the first complete, 2-D numerical simulation of the PRIZ. The simulation is based upon a simple band model of the PRIZ: a single donor, a single trap, and free electron carriers. Modeled mechanisms include photogeneration, energy level transitions, injection, drift currents, diffusion currents, photorefraction and diffraction. The model goes beyond the previous charge and field dynamics of 1-D numerical models to include optical effects, and it eliminates the oversimplifications and assumptions used in earlier mathematical models with closed solutions. Sensitivity analyses and selected simulations provide a better understanding of the dynamic imaging …
Kinetic-Energy- And Angular-Resolved Fragmentation Of Co In Vibrational-Resolved C 1s Excitation, N. Saito, Franz Heiser, Oliver Hemmers, K. Wieliczek, J. Viefhaus, U. Becker
Kinetic-Energy- And Angular-Resolved Fragmentation Of Co In Vibrational-Resolved C 1s Excitation, N. Saito, Franz Heiser, Oliver Hemmers, K. Wieliczek, J. Viefhaus, U. Becker
Environmental Studies Faculty Publications
Angular distributions of C++O+ from CO were measured, following vibrationally resolved C 1s excitations into the 2pπ, 3sσ, and 3pπ orbitals as well as into higher unresolved orbitals. A time-of-flight mass spectrometer, with a multihit-type position-sensitive anode, was used for the measurements. The anisotropy parameters (β) of C++O+ approach their theoretically expected values as the released kinetic energy in the fragmentation increases. The value of the β parameters remains constant for all vibrational states within each orbital.

First Results From The High-Brightness X-Ray Spectroscopy Beamline 9.3.1 At Als, W. Ng, G. Jones, Rupert C. Perera, D. Hansen, J. Daniels, Oliver Hemmers, P. Glans, S. B. Whitfield, H. Wang, Dennis W. Lindle
Environmental Studies Faculty Publications
Beamline 9.3.1 at the Advanced Light Source (ALS) is a windowless beamline, covering the 1–6 keV photon energy range. This beamline is designed to achieve the goal of high brightness at the sample for use in the x‐ray atomic and molecular spectroscopy (XAMS) science, surface and interface science, biology and x‐ray optical development programs at ALS. X‐ray absorption and time‐of‐flight photoemission measurements in 2–5 keV photon energy range along with the flux, resolution, spot size and stability of the beamline will be discussed. Prospects for future XAMS measurements will also be presented.
Post-Collision Interactions In The Auger Decay Of The Ar L-Shell, James A.R. Samson, Wayne C. Stolte, Z. X. He, J. N. Cutler, D. Hansen
Post-Collision Interactions In The Auger Decay Of The Ar L-Shell, James A.R. Samson, Wayne C. Stolte, Z. X. He, J. N. Cutler, D. Hansen
Chemistry and Biochemistry Faculty Research
The photoionization cross sections for Ar+ through Ar4+, produced by the Auger decay of a 2p hole in argon, have been measured between 242 eV and 253 eV by the use of synchrotron radiation. The high resolution of the monochromator has allowed a detailed study of the postcollision interactions that occur in this spectral region. The concept of photoelectron recapture by Ar2+ to produce the Ar+ continuum is studied. The relative values of the quantum-mechanical calculations of the photoelectron recapture probability are shown to be in excellent agreement with the present data. The magnitude …

Cross Sections For The Production Of He+ (Np) 2p0 States By 50 To 150 Kev Proton Impact On Helium, Wayne C. Stolte, R. Bruch
Chemistry and Biochemistry Faculty Research
Cross sections have been measured for the production of He+ (np) 2Po states, n=2,3,4, by proton impact on helium over a projectile velocity range of 1.42–2.45 a.u. (50 ≤E≤150 keV). Cross sections were determined by measuring the extreme ultraviolet photons emitted from excited He1 ions. The data indicate a lower energy than expected for the maximum cross section. A comparison of the present results in terms of projectile energy dependance with the cross sections for excitation to He (1snp) 1Po, ionization, and total electron capture suggests the primary mechanism …

The contribution of the {sup 18}F(p,{gamma}) reaction to the production of {sup 19}Ne which is the crucial isotope for the breakout from the hot CNO cycle into the rp process, has been investigated in experiments with {sup 18}F beams. Measurements of the cross sections for the {sup 18}F(p,{alpha}){sup 15}O and the {sup 18}F(p,{gamma}){sup 19}Ne reactions indicate that the contribution from the (p,{gamma}) route to the formation of {sup 19}Ne is small.

A large parity nonconserving longitudinal analyzing power was discovered in polarized-neutron transmission through Xe. An analyzing power of 4.3±0.2% was observed in a p-wave resonance at En=3.2 eV. The measurement was performed with a liquid Xe target of natural isotopic abundance that was placed in the polarized epithermal neutron beam, flight path 2, at the Manuel Lujan Neutron Science Center. This apparatus was constructed by the TRIPLE Collaboration, and has been used for studies of parity symmetry in compound nuclear resonances. Part of the motivation of the experiment was to discover a nucleus appropriate for a sensitive test …
Electrical Characterization Of Gasb Based Semiconductors For 2-4 Micrometers Diode Laser Applications, Daniel K. Johnstone
Electrical Characterization Of Gasb Based Semiconductors For 2-4 Micrometers Diode Laser Applications, Daniel K. Johnstone
Theses and Dissertations
Deep Level Transient Spectroscopy (DLTS) was used to characterize the band offsets and deep levels in MBE grown GaSb-based semiconductors that are used in 2-4 µm laser diode structures. One of several deep level traps found in AlxGa1-xAsySb1-y (x=0, 0.5, 0.6, 1.0) is a GaSb double acceptor trap. Progress is also made in establishing the model for the DX center in this material. The degree of compensation of the donor related DX center by GaSb affect where donors are situated, giving preference to one configuration over the many other possible configurations. One minority …

All HMC Faculty Publications and Research
We examine the interaction of intense, femtosecond laser radiation with the large (50–200 Å) clusters produced in pulsed gas jets. Both experiment and simulation show that the plasmas produced during these interactions exhibit electron temperatures far in excess of that predicted by above-threshold ionization theory for a low-density gas. Efficient heating of the clusters by the laser is followed by rapid expansion of the clusters and long-lived x-ray emission from hot, decaying, underdense plasma.
Auger Resonant Raman Spectroscopy Used To Study The Angular Distributions Of The Xe 4d5/2 → 6p Decay Spectrum, B. Langer, N. Berrah, A. Farhat, Oliver Hemmers, J. Bozek
Auger Resonant Raman Spectroscopy Used To Study The Angular Distributions Of The Xe 4d5/2 → 6p Decay Spectrum, B. Langer, N. Berrah, A. Farhat, Oliver Hemmers, J. Bozek
Environmental Studies Faculty Publications
The Auger resonant Raman effect can be used as a method to eliminate natural lifetime broadening in resonant Auger spectra. We have coupled this method with high-resolution photons from the Advanced Light Source to study angular distributions and decay rates of the Xe4d5/2→6p resonant Auger lines. The angular distribution parameters β of almost all possible final ionic 5p4(3P, 1D, 1S)6p states have been determined. Our data, which remove the discrepancy between previous lower-resolution experimental results, are compared to different theoretical results.

All HMC Faculty Publications and Research
We report the generation of short-wavelength, high-order harmonics of intense laser radiation from atom clusters. Clusters containing about 103 atoms are produced in a high-pressure gas jet. We show them to be a unique nonlinear medium. Compared with monomer gases they yield a higher appearance intensity for a given harmonic order, stronger nonlinear dependence of harmonic signal on laser intensity, higher-order harmonics, and reduced saturation of the harmonic signal at high laser intensity.
Ionization Of Rydberg Wave Packets By Subpicosecond, Half-Cycle Electromagnetic Pulses, C. Raman, C. W. S. Conover, C. I. Sukenik, P. H. Bucksbaum
Ionization Of Rydberg Wave Packets By Subpicosecond, Half-Cycle Electromagnetic Pulses, C. Raman, C. W. S. Conover, C. I. Sukenik, P. H. Bucksbaum
Physics Faculty Publications
We have studied the ionization of Rydberg wave packets by subpicosecond, nearly unipolar electromagnetic field pulses, in the regime where the duration of the electric field is less than the classical Kepler orbit time 2n3 for the wave packet. In contrast to the subpicosecond optical pulses, subpicosecond field pulses can ionize wave packets when the probability density near the inner turning point of the Kepler orbit is low. The transfer of energy from the electromagnetic field to essentially free electrons demonstrates that the pulses are substantially shorter than one field cycle. Such half-cycle pulses can track the wave packet throughout …
Two-Photon Quantum Interference Polarization Spectroscopy: Measurements Of Transition Matrix Elements In Atomic Rubidium, Alexander I. Beger
Two-Photon Quantum Interference Polarization Spectroscopy: Measurements Of Transition Matrix Elements In Atomic Rubidium, Alexander I. Beger
Physics Theses & Dissertations
The estimation of the adequacy of theoretical calculations on the atomic structure requires availability of the precise experimental data on radiative properties of the atoms. Such data is also required in astronomy and some important areas of technology. The lack of precision of traditional spectroscopic studies of atom presents a fundamental obstacle for progress in these areas. For example, in atomic rubidium, the best precision of the traditional spectroscopic results is on the order of about 1 - 5%, which does not allow for clear assessment of the latest sophisticated theoretical calculations on atomic rubidium structure, with emphasis on different, …

Spectroscopy Of Atoms Confined To The Single Node Of A Standing Wave In A Parallel-Plate Cavity, V. Sandoghar, C. I. Sukenik, S. Haroche, E. A. Hinds
Physics Faculty Publications
We have performed spectroscopy on sodium atoms that are optically channeled in the single node of a laser standing wave set up across a parallel-plate cavity. Using this technique we have extended our previous measurement of the Lennard-Jones van der Waals energy-level shift [Sandoghdar et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 68, 3432 (1992)] down to a cavity width of ~500 nm. We discuss the applications of this technique to the precise measurement of atom-surface distances.

A novel spectroscopic technique applicable to the study of spin excitations in magnetic materials is described. The probe frequency and wave vector are determined by the moving Abrikosov flux lattice of a type II superconductor in the mixed state. The feasibility of employing oxide superconductors and relevant material parameters are discussed.
Measuring Strangeness Production From Relativisitic Collisions Between Pairs Of Nuclei Using A Vertex Time Projection Chamber, Christine A. Byrd, Wilfred J. Braithwaite
Measuring Strangeness Production From Relativisitic Collisions Between Pairs Of Nuclei Using A Vertex Time Projection Chamber, Christine A. Byrd, Wilfred J. Braithwaite
Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science
At collider energies of 200A-GeV, tracking of charged particle pairs originating from neutrals is dominated by singlystrange KJ.' decays. Counting the number ofsecondary vertex pairs is a method of measuring the strangeness production. The VTX is a four-layer micro-strip gas time projection chamber being designed for use with the STAR instrument in an experiment using the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider under construction at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Simulated pixel data generated from CERN's Monte Carlo detector-modeling program Geant were put into tables using the TAS sorting structures available from the STAR Collaboration. The response of VTX was mapped for charged pion …

Surface Debye Temperature Measurement With Reflection High-Energy Electron Diffraction, H. E. Elsayed-Ali
Electrical & Computer Engineering Faculty Publications
Measurement of the surface mean-square atomic vibrational amplitude, or equivalently the surface Debye temperature, with reflection high-energy electron diffraction is discussed. Low-index surfaces of lead are used as examples. Particular details are given about the temperature-dependent diffraction pattern of Pb(100) in the Debye-Waller region. The use of reflection high-energy electron diffraction for measurement of the substrate surface temperature in thin-film deposition chambers is suggested. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.
