This book was released on 2011 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ce travail de thèse a porté sur l’étude de structures à cascade quantique dans le régime de l’effet Hall quantique. Deux types d’hétérostructures semi-conductrices ont été étudiés : une structure émettrice térahertz et une structure détectrice moyen infrarouge. Dans le premier cas, une mise en évidence claire de l’émission cyclotron a pu être démontrée grâce à la quantification de Landau résultant de l’application d’un champ magnétique perpendiculaire aux couches d’une structure à multi-puits quantiques. Cette étude a permis de réaliser un composant électroluminescent accordable en champ magnétique et émettant directement par le surface. Le mécanisme de diffusion responsable de cette émission est l’interaction électron-électron, un mécanisme de type Auger à N-corps. Le champ magnétique sert dans ce cas de paramètre extérieur pour créer de nouveaux états électroniques permettant d’observer de l’émission lumineuse non-conventionnelle. L’étude d’un détecteur à cascade quantique à 8 μm a été réalisée dans l’obscurité et sous illumination. Les chemins électroniques ont pu être identifiés dans les deux cas. Un modèle de photocourant ainsi que le calcul du temps de vie en fonction du champ magnétique de l’interaction électron-impuretés ionisées ont été développés. Ils ont permis d’identifier les améliorations à réaliser pour la mise en œuvre de futures caméras basées sur des détecteurs à cascade quantique : importance de la place des impuretés ionisées dans la région active et rôle crucial du dessin de la cascade. Le champ magnétique a montré dans cette deuxième étude son formidable pouvoir d’outil spectroscopique

This book was released on 2010-10 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le travail de thèse a porté de façon générale sur l'étude des transitions électroniques dans les hétérostructures à cascade quantique. Deux types de structures ont été étudiés, le laser émettant dans la gamme des THz et le détecteur moyen infrarouge. Cette étude a été menée en champ magnétique appliqué perpendiculairement ou parallèlement aux couches des hétérostructures. Dans la première configuration, nous avons observé des oscillations de courant dans les deux types de structures. Ces oscillations sont la signature de différents processus de relaxation élastiques et inélastiques. Par la quantification de Landau, les temps de vie des électrons sur les niveaux mis en jeu dans les transitions sont modifiés menant à une modulation du courant en fonction du champ magnétique. Un modèle a été développé pour en comprendre l'origine. Enfin, dans la seconde configuration, en champ magnétique appliqué de façon parallèle aux couches des lasers à cascade, nous avons pu mettre en évidence un déplacement relatif des sousbandes de la transition radiative.

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.
