Download or read book Color Centers in Semiconductors for Quantum Applications written by Joel Davidsson and published by Linköping University Electronic Press. This book was released on 2021-02-08 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Point defects in semiconductors have been and will continue to be relevant for applications. Shallow defects realize transistors, which power the modern age of information, and in the not-too-distant future, deep-level defects could provide the foundation for a revolution in quantum information processing. Deep-level defects (in particular color centers) are also of interest for other applications such as a single photon emitter, especially one that emits at 1550 nm, which is the optimal frequency for long-range communication via fiber optics. First-principle calculations can predict the energies and optical properties of point defects. I performed extensive convergence tests for magneto-optical properties, such as zero phonon lines, hyperfine coupling parameters, and zero-field splitting for the four different configurations of the divacancy in 4H-SiC. Comparing the converged results with experimental measurements, a clear identification of the different configurations was made. With this approach, I also identified all configurations for the silicon vacancy in 4H-SiC as well as the divacancy and silicon vacancy in 6H-SiC. The same method was further used to identify two additional configurations belonging to the divacancy present in a 3C stacking fault inclusion in 4H-SiC. I extended the calculated properties to include the transition dipole moment which provides the polarization, intensity, and lifetime of the zero phonon lines. When calculating the transition dipole moment, I show that it is crucial to include the self-consistent change of the electronic orbitals in the excited state due to the geometry relaxation. I tested the method on the divacancy in 4H-SiC, further strengthening the previous identification and providing accurate photoluminescence intensities and lifetimes. Finding stable point defects with the right properties for a given application is a challenging task. Due to the vast number of possible point defects present in bulk semiconductor materials, I designed and implemented a collection of automatic workflows to systematically investigate any point defects. This collection is called ADAQ (Automatic Defect Analysis and Qualification) and automates every step of the theoretical process, from creating defects to predicting their properties. Using ADAQ, I screened about 8000 intrinsic point defect clusters in 4H-SiC. This thesis presents an overview of the formation energy and the most relevant optical properties for these single and double point defects. These results show great promise for finding new color centers suitable for various quantum applications.
Download or read book Handbook of Lasers written by Marvin J. Weber and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2019-04-30 with total page 1224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lasers continue to be an amazingly robust field of activity. Anyone seeking a photon source is now confronted with an enormous number of possible lasers and laser wavelengths to choose from, but no single, comprehensive source to help them make that choice. The Handbook of Lasers provides an authoritative compilation of lasers, their properties, and original references in a readily accessible form. Organized by lasing media-solids, liquids, and gases-each section is subdivided into distinct laser types. Each type carries a brief description, followed by tables listing the lasing element or medium, host, lasing transition and wavelength, operating properties, primary literature citations, and, for broadband lasers, reported tuning ranges. The importance and value of the Handbook of Lasers cannot be overstated. Serving as both an archive and as an indicator of emerging trends, it reflects the state of knowledge and development in the field, provides a rapid means of obtaining reference data, and offers a pathway to the literature. It contains data useful for comparison with predictions and for developing models of processes, and may reveal fundamental inconsistencies or conflicts in the data.
Download or read book Archaeomineralogy written by George R. Rapp and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1.1 Prologue What is archaeomineralogy? The term has been used at least once before (Mitchell 1985), but this volume is the first publication to lay down the scientific basis and systematics for this subdiscipline. Students sometimes call an introductory archaeology course "stones and bones." Archaeomineralogy covers the stones component of this phrase. Of course, archaeology consists of a great deal more than just stones and bones. Contemporary archaeology is based on stratigraphy, geomorphology, chronometry, behavioral inferences, and a host of additional disciplines in addition to those devoted to stones and bones. To hazard a definition: archaeomineralogy is the study of the minerals and rocks used by ancient societies over space and time, as implements, orna ments, building materials, and raw materials for ceramics and other processed products. Archaeomineralogy also attempts to date, source, or otherwise char acterize an artifact or feature, or to interpret past depositional alteration of archaeological contexts. Unlike geoarchaeology, archaeomineralogy is not, and is not likely to become, a recognized subdiscipline. Practitioners of archaeomineralogy are mostly geoarchaeologists who specialize in geology and have a strong background in mineralogy or petrology (the study of the origin ofrocks).

Book excerpt: The Science of Color focuses on the principles and observations that are foundations of modern color science. Written for a general scientific audience, the book broadly covers essential topics in the interdisciplinary field of color, drawing from physics, physiology and psychology. This book comprises eight chapters and begins by tracing scientific thinking about color since the seventeenth century. This historical perspective provides an introduction to the fundamental questions in color science, by following advances as well as misconceptions over more than 300 years. The next chapters then discuss the relationship between light, the retinal image, and photoreceptors, followed by a focus on concepts such as color matching and color discrimination; color appearance and color difference specification; the physiology of color vision; the 15 mechanisms of the physics and chemistry of color; and digital color reproduction. Each chapter begins with a short outline that summarizes the organization and breadth of its material. The outlines are valuable guides to chapter structure, and worth scanning even by readers who may not care to go through a chapter from start to finish. This book will be of interest to scientists, artists, manufacturers, and students.

Download or read book Ultrashort Laser Pulses and Applications written by Wolfgang Kaiser and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-14 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ten years ago, Stanley L. Shapiro edited the book entitled Ultrashort Light Pulses (Topics Appl. Phys., Vol. 18), which was written by eight experts in the field. Six years later, Charles V. Shank added a bibliography (1980-1983) in the second edition with approximately one thousand new references. During the past decade the field has grown so rapidly that a completely new book had to be written. In particular, the reduction of the time scale of light pulses into the femtosecond range has opened up new experimental possibilities never even foreseen in the preceding literature. The vast literature with countless ideas and applications makes it impossible for a single person to write a comprehensive review. Nine scientists, actively working in the field since its beginning, have decided to join forces to prepare a new book describing the present state of the art. Emphasis is placed on the generation and numerous applications of ultrashort laser pulses. This book covers a wide area of science: physics, engineering, chemistry, and biology. The various chapters and sections are prepared in each case such that the reader is given a brief introduction to the specific subject. Ample references for a more detailed study are given at the end of each chapter.
