To improve light absorption, previously various antireflection material layers were created on solar wafer surface including multilayer dielectric film, nanoparticle sludges, microtextures, noble metal plasmonic nanoparticles and 3D silicon nanostructure arrays. All of these approaches involve nanoscale prepatterning,…
Functionalization of small, rod like organic molecules can be used to optimize organic devices. Here we report on nanofiber formation and thin film growth of a methoxy-functionalized para-quaterphenylene (1,4'''-Dimethoxy- 4,1':4',1'':4'',1'''-quaterphenylene, MOP4) on prototypical dielectric substrates such as muscov…
All optical switching (AOS) applications require materials with a large nonlinear refractive index (n2) but relatively small linear and nonlinear absorption loss. The figure-of-merit (FOM), defined as the ratio between the real and imaginary parts of the second hyperpolarizability (γ), is widely used to evaluate the o…
Radiation delivery is required for various applications—mainly in medicine or industry. Due to the necessity of delivering IR, UV or powerful radiation, its transfer by hollow waveguides was investigated because standard glass fibers cause serious losses. Our special waveguide was based on a fused silica glass capilla…
We demonstrate light collimation of single-mode optical fibers using deeply-etched three-dimensional curved micromirror on silicon chip. The three-dimensional curvature of the mirror is controlled by a process combining deep reactive ion etching and isotropic etching of silicon. The produced surface is astigmatic with…
The utilization of infrared chalcogenide glass (ChG) fibers has long been hampered by the unfavorable mechanical characteristics typical of these glasses. Furthermore, the usual pathways to producing such fibers necessitate large-scale synthesis of high-purity glass, which represents a challenge in an academic environ…
We have studied the performance of deep-UV avalanche photodetectors based on AlGaN alloys. We have evaluated the carrier multiplication gains and excess noise factors using a model based on recurrence equations and activated ionization coefficients derived from a full-band Monte Carlo model. We find that for devices w…
In this paper, we report fabrication and investigation of ytterbium-doped phosphorsilicate fiber (P co-doped YDF) with high Yb content, low numerical aperture, and low background loss. The P co-doped YDF is fabricated by MCVD using the vapor sources of Yb, SiCl4, AlCl3, and POCl3, and by the gas-phase doping method. T…
A representative of the fluoride-containing iron pnictide high-temperature superconductors, namely CaFFeAs, was doped with sodium up to the composition Ca0.86Na0.14FFeAs for the first time. Single crystals with an edge length in the range of 0.1 – 2.0 mm were obtained via solid-state and flux syntheses, respectively.…
GaN nanowires form spontaneously on a wide variety of substrates without suffering from extended defects. However, their quasi-one-dimensional nature causes these structures to have an extended free surface, resulting in a surface-to-volume ratio orders of magnitude larger than that of a planar layer. Additionally, th…
Densification is an exothermic process according to the classical sintering theories; however, it has never been explored experimentally. In the present work, such heat release was successfully detected from nanosized BaTiO3 nanopowder compact, which was rapidly consolidated by spark plasma sintering. A reduction of t…
Abstract Supramolecular assemblies with a bottle‐brush structure are obtained by inclusion complexation between β‐cyclodextrin and adamantane. β‐cyclodextrin‐modified chitosan is synthesized via the aldimine condensation reaction between β‐cyclodextrin monoaldehyde and chitosan as the host. The guest is prepared throu…
Abstract This paper describes preparation and characterization of silver electrodes deposited by magnetron sputtering with high stretching capability while maintaining their electrical conductivity. It is shown that tuning the microstructure and grain size of silver films of 30 nm thickness deposited on silicone membr…
Er3+-doped oxyfluoride glass and glass-ceramics containing SrF2 nanocrystals have been prepared and investigated their spectroscopic and luminescence properties. The formation of SrF2 nanocrystals in glass-ceramics were confirmed by Xray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Judd-Ofelt paramete…
Infrared-reflectivity spectroscopy and micro-Raman scattering were used to determine the optical phonon features of orthorhombic calcium tantalite (CaTa2O6) single crystal fibres. The fibres, obtained by the Laser-Heated Pedestal Growth method, grew into an ordered cubic structure $\\left( Pm\\bar{3} \\right)$. Long-t…
The integration of quantum cascade lasers with devices capable of efficiently manipulating terahertz light, represents a fundamental step for many different applications. Split-ring resonators, sub-wavelength metamaterial elements exhibiting broad resonances that are easily tuned lithographically, represent the ideal…
We explore tunable plasmonic metamaterials for electro-optic modulator applications based on ITO-based multilayer structures. Two different structures are investigated, and modulation depth up to 38.8% can be achieved. Preliminary results are presented for the real time response of an ITO/electrolyte gel/doped Si modu…
We have developed an algorithm for the numerical simulation of the electrical and optical properties of a thin-film silicon solar cell. The intrinsic layer in the p-i-n solar cell is nonhomogeneous in the thickness direction. This nonhomogeneity is to be engineered via variations in the composition of the amorphous si…
Mechanical strength is one of the biggest limitations of practical application for tellurite fiber. In this study, we design and fabricate a single mode tellurite composite fiber to overcome the flaw. The fiber has a double cladding structure with tellurite core and inner cladding, the outer cladding, which is made of…
A major issue concerning many adults worldwide is obesity [1]. The goal of this work is to address this problem by designing a novel swallowable microrobotic capsule that will attach a sensor to the lining of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract that will detect mass flow rate. Mass flow rate reflects the food intake and i…
