Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'objectif de cette thèse est d'étudier les propriétés physico-chimiques des surfaces et des interfaces des couches minces par spectroscopie de photoémission (XPS), diffraction des photoélectrons (XPD), et la photoémission résolue en temps (PTR). Les expériences sont réalisées en utilisant une source standard des rayons X AlKa à l'INL ou les rayons X mous auprès du synchrotron Soleil. La première étude sur le système Pt/ Gd203/ Si(111) a montré que le transfert de charge entre le Pt et 0 à l'interface Pt/Gd203 implique un déplacement chimique de niveau Pt4f sans modification des caractéristiques de la composante métallique des spectres XPS. L'étude XPD montre que Pt se cristallise partiellement en deux domaines : [110] Pt(111) // [110] Gd203 (111) et [101] Pt(111) / / [110] Gd203 (111). De plus, une autre phase ordonnée d'oxyde de platine Pt02 à l'interface a été observée. A travers la caractérisation de la morphologie déterminée par la technique AFM et XPD, nous avons discuté l'adhésion aux interfaces métal/oxyde. La deuxième étude traite l'évolution d'interface d'un système modèle : métal non réactive/ semi-conducteur, dépendent fortement des conditions thermodynamiques. Nous avons étudié la couche mince d'Au déposée sur le substrat Si(001) par photoémission résolue en temps (TEMPO- synchrotron Soleil). L'étude XPS, montre avant le recuit la formation de l'oxyde native Si02 sur l'heterostructure à température ambiante. La désorption de cet oxyde se produit à faible température et induit une décroissance de l'intensité des photoélectrons durant le temps de recuit. La désorption de l'oxyde Si02 et la formation de l'alliage AuSi sont responsables de la gravure et la formation des puits de forme cubique à la surface de Si due à l'activité catalytique de l'Au. La troisième étude concerne la croissance du graphène à partir de cristal de SiC(0001)- face Si par décomposition thermique. Le niveau de coeur C1s résolu en trois composantes principales sont associées au carbone de 6H-SiC, de graphène, et l'interface graphène/ 6H-SiC (0001). L'intensité de chaque composante est rapportée en fonction de l'angle polaire (azimutale) pour différents angles azimutales (polaire). Les mesures XPD fournissent des informations cristallographiques qui indiquent clairement que les feuillets de graphène sont organisés en structure graphite sur le substrat 6H-SiC (0001). Cette organisation résulte de l’effondrement de la maille de substrat. Enfin, le découplage à l'interface graphène/ 6H-SiC (0001) par l'oxygène a été étudié par XPS. La dernière étude concerne la croissance du film mince d'InP par MBE sur le substrat SrTi03 (001). L'intégration des semi-conducteurs III-V sur le Si, en utilisant la couche tampon d'oxyde SrTi03 est l'objet des intenses recherches, en raison des applications prometteuses dans le domaine de nano-optoélectronique. Les niveaux de coeur O1s, Sr3d, Ti2p, In3d, P2p ont été analysés et rapportés en fonction de l'angle azimutale à différents angles polaires. La comparaison des courbes XPD azimutales de Sr3d et In3d montre que les ilots InP sont orientées (001) avec la relation d'épitaxie; [110]InP(001 )/ / [100]! SrTi03 (001). La caractérisation morphologique par AFM montre des ilots InP facettés régulièrement dispersée à la surface.

Download or read book Flexoelectricity in Liquid Crystals written by Agnes Buka and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2013 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book intends to give a state-of-the-art overview of flexoelectricity, a linear physical coupling between mechanical (orientational) deformations and electric polarization, which is specific to systems with orientational order, such as liquid crystals. Chapters written by experts in the field shed light on theoretical as well as experimental aspects of research carried out since the discovery of flexoelectricity. Besides a common macroscopic (continuum) description the microscopic theory of flexoelectricity is also addressed. Electro-optic effects due to or modified by flexoelectricity as well as various (direct and indirect) measurement methods are discussed. Special emphasis is given to the role of flexoelectricity in pattern-forming instabilities. While the main focus of the book lies in flexoelectricity in nematic liquid crystals, peculiarities of other mesophases (bent-core systems, cholesterics, and smectics) are also reviewed. Flexoelectricity has relevance to biological (living) systems and can also offer possibilities for technical applications. The basics of these two interdisciplinary fields are also summarized.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Organic lasers are broadly tunable coherent sources, potentially compact, convenient and manufactured at low-costs. Appeared in the mid 60’s as solid-state alternatives for liquid dye lasers, they recently gained a new dimension after the demonstration of organic semiconductor lasers in the 90's. More recently, new perspectives appeared at the nanoscale, with organic polariton and surface plasmon lasers. After a brief reminder to laser physics, a first chapter exposes what makes organic solid-state organic lasers specific. The laser architectures used in organic lasers are then reviewed, with a state-of-the-art review of the performances of devices with regard to output power, threshold, lifetime, beam quality etc. A survey of the recent trends in the field is given, highlighting the latest developments with a special focus on the challenges remaining for achieving direct electrical pumping of organic semiconductor lasers. A last chapter covers the applications of organic solid-state lasers.
