Title Quantum Dot Infrared Photodetectors: Photoresponse Enhancement Due to Potential Barriers Type Journal Article
Year 2011 Publication Nanoscale Research Letters Abbreviated Journal Nanoscale res lett
Volume (down) 6 Issue 1 Pages 6
Keywords Quantum dots; Infrared detectors; Photoresponse; Doping; Potential barriers; Capture processes
Abstract Potential barriers around quantum dots (QDs) play a key role in kinetics of photoelectrons. These barriers are always created, when electrons from dopants outside QDs fill the dots. Potential barriers suppress the capture processes of photoelectrons and increase the photoresponse. To directly investigate the effect of potential barriers on photoelectron kinetics, we fabricated several QD structures with different positions of dopants and various levels of doping. The potential barriers as a function of doping and dopant positions have been determined using nextnano3 software. We experimentally investigated the photoresponse to IR radiation as a function of the radiation frequency and voltage bias. We also measured the dark current in these QD structures. Our investigations show that the photoresponse increases ~30 times as the height of potential barriers changes from 30 to 130 meV.

Title Luminescence of colloidal CdSe/ZnS nanoparticles: high sensitivity to solvent phase transitions Type Journal Article
Year 2011 Publication Nanoscale Research Letters Abbreviated Journal Nan. Res. Lett.
Volume (down) 6 Issue Pages 7
Keywords
Abstract We investigate nanosecond photoluminescence processes in colloidal core/shell CdSe/ZnS nanoparticles dissolved in water and found strong sensitivity of luminescence to the solvent state. Several pronounced changes have been observed in the narrow temperature interval near the water melting point. First of all, the luminescence intensity substantially (approximately 50%) increases near the transition. In a large temperature scale, the energy peak of the photoluminescence decreases with temperature due to temperature dependence of the energy gap. Near the melting point, the peak shows N-type dependence with the maximal changes of approximately 30 meV. The line width increases with temperature and also shows N-type dependence near the melting point. The observed effects are associated with the reconstruction of ligands near the ice/water phase transition.

Title Antennas for light Type Journal Article
Year 2011 Publication Nature Photonics Abbreviated Journal Nat. Photon.
Volume (down) 5 Issue 2 Pages 83-90
Keywords optical antennas
Abstract Optical antennas are devices that convert freely propagating optical radiation into localized energy, and vice versa. They enable the control and manipulation of optical fields at the nanometre scale, and hold promise for enhancing the performance and efficiency of photodetection, light emission and sensing. Although many of the properties and parameters of optical antennas are similar to their radiowave and microwave counterparts, they have important differences resulting from their small size and the resonant properties of metal nanostructures. This Review summarizes the physical properties of optical antennas, provides a summary of some of the most important recent developments in the field, discusses the potential applications and identifies the future challenges and opportunities.

Title Coherent terahertz control Type Journal Article
Year 2011 Publication Nature Photonics Abbreviated Journal Nat. Photon.
Volume (down) 5 Issue Pages 5-6
Keywords fromIPMRAS
Abstract Spin and charge terahertz excitations in solids are promising for implementing future technologies such as spintronics and quantum computation, but coherently controlling them has been a significant challenge. Researchers have now manipulated coherent spin waves in an antiferromagnet using the intense magnetic field of ultrashort terahertz pulses.
