Sigesn Light-Emitting Devices: From Optical To Electrical Injection, Yiyin Zhou
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Si photonics is a fast-developing technology that impacts many applications such as data centers, 5G, Lidar, and biological/chemical sensing. One of the merits of Si photonics is to integrate electronic and photonic components on a single chip to form a complex functional system that features compact, low-cost, high-performance, and reliability. Among all building blocks, the monolithic integration of lasers on Si encountered substantial challenges. Si and Ge, conventional epitaxial material on Si, are incompetent for light emission due to the indirect bandgap. The current solution compromises the hybrid integration of III-V lasers, which requires growing on separate smaller size substrates …
Interplay Between The Lattice And Spin Degrees Of Freedom In Magnetoelectric And Magnetic Materials, Temuujin Bayaraa
Interplay Between The Lattice And Spin Degrees Of Freedom In Magnetoelectric And Magnetic Materials, Temuujin Bayaraa
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
This dissertation contains several investigations on the cross-coupling between structural and spin degrees of freedom in multiferroic and ferrimagnetic compounds by means of first-principles calculations and ab-initio-based Monte-Carlo simulations. We start with the reviews of magnetoelectricity, ferrimagnetism, strain engineering, followed by a brief introduction to first-principles computational methods, magnetic effective Hamiltonians, and other techniques that are utilized here. The results section of the dissertation can be divided into two parts. The first half focuses on magnetoelectric effects arising from different sources, while the second half is about the ferrimagnetic nature of materials. In the first part, we examine the epitaxial …
Computational Modeling Of Black Phosphorus Terahertz Photoconductive Antennas Using Comsol Multiphysics With Experimental Comparison Against A Commercial Lt-Gaas Emitter, Jose Isaac Santos Batista
Computational Modeling Of Black Phosphorus Terahertz Photoconductive Antennas Using Comsol Multiphysics With Experimental Comparison Against A Commercial Lt-Gaas Emitter, Jose Isaac Santos Batista
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
This thesis presents computational models of terahertz (THz) photoconductive antenna (PCA) emitter using COMSOL Multiphysics commercial package. A comparison of the computer simulated radiated THz signal against that of an experimentally measured signal of commercial reference LT-GaAs emitter is presented. The two-dimensional model (2D) aimed at calculating the photoconductivity of a black phosphorus (BP) PCA at two laser wavelengths of 780 nm and 1560 nm. The 2D model was applied to the BP PCA emitter and the LT-GaAs devices to compare their simulated performance in terms of the photocurrent and radiated THz signal pulse. The results showed better performance of …

Memory Module Design For High-Temperature Applications In Sic Cmos Technology, Affan Abbasi
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
The wide bandgap (WBG) characteristics of SiC play a significant and disruptive role in the power electronics industry. The same characteristics make this material a viable choice for high-temperature electronics systems. Leveraging the high-temperature capability of SiC is crucial to automotive, space exploration, aerospace, deep well drilling, and gas turbines. A significant issue with the high-temperature operation is the exponential increase in leakage current. The lower intrinsic carrier concentration of SiC (10-9 cm-3) compared to Si (1010 cm-3) leads to lower leakage over temperature. Several researchers have demonstrated analog and digital circuits designed in SiC. However, a memory module is …

The Role Of Quantum Dot Size On The Performance Of Intermediate Band Solar Cells, Najla Alnami
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
The goal of this thesis is to understand possible mechanisms for the reported decrease of the open circuit voltage and solar cell efficiency in quantum dot (QD) intermediate band solar cells (IBSCs). More specifically, the effect of indium arsenide (InAs) QD height on the open circuit voltage and solar cell efficiency was studied in a systematic way. To explore this effect in QD solar cells, several solar cells (SCs) were grown with varying InAs QD heights. All experimental characteristics of the QD solar cells were compared to a reference structure without QDs. All samples were grown by Molecular Beam Epitaxy …
