Redox-Active Ferrocene grafted on H-Terminated Si(111): Electrochemical Characterization of the Charge Transport Mechanism and Dynamics
2019
AbstractElectroactive self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) bearing a ferrocene (Fc) redox couple were chemically assembled on H-terminated semiconducting degenerate-doped n-type Si(111) substrate. This allows to create a Si(111)|organic-spacer|Fc hybrid interface, where the ferrocene moiety is covalently immobilized on the silicon, via two alkyl molecular spacers of different length. Organic monolayer formation was probed by Laser Ablation-Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements, which were also used to estimate thickness and surface assembled monolayer (SAM) surface coverage. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements all…
The positioning system of the ANTARES Neutrino Telescope
2012
The ANTARES neutrino telescope, located 40km off the coast of Toulon in the Mediterranean Sea at a mooring depth of about 2475m, consists of twelve detection lines equipped typically with 25 storeys. Every storey carries three optical modules that detect Cherenkov light induced by charged secondary particles (typically muons) coming from neutrino interactions. As these lines are flexible structures fixed to the sea bed and held taut by a buoy, sea currents cause the lines to move and the storeys to rotate. The knowledge of the position of the optical modules with a precision better than 10cm is essential for a good reconstruction of particle tracks. In this paper the ANTARES positioning sys…
Optical Properties of III-V Nanowires and Their Application for Charge Transport and Single-Photon Emission
2012
This work covers the optical characterization of III-V semiconductor nanowires and their application for charge transport and for single-photon emission. InAs nanowires have been investigated by Raman scattering and PL spectroscopy. The possibility to grow nanowires with a crystal structure different from its bulk counterpart has aroused a lot of interest in their optical and electronic properties. Here, the optical phonon modes of wurtzite InAs nanowires have been studied by polarized Raman scattering. For the first time, Raman measurements on a single InAs nanowire have revealed the A1(TO) and E2h optical phonon modes of the wurtzite structure. Additional resonant Raman scattering experim…

Crossed 2D versus Slipped 1D π-Stacking in Polymorphs of Crystalline Organic Thin Films
2019
Polymorphs of organic semiconductors are of great interest as they shed light to structure-property relationships. The full X-ray thin film structure analysis of two polymorphs (B, G) of an important n-type semiconducting dicyano-distyrylbenzene based small molecule (CN-TFPA) is reported. Drastically different structures of the monotropic phases are revealed, that is an uncommon 2D crossed π-stacked arrangement for the B-phase versus a 1D slipped π-stack for G. Both phases exhibit a layered structure in the (100) plane with high structural integrity, driven by the hydrophobic contacts of the terminal CF3 groups; as (100) coincides with the film surface, this allows for exfoliation by scotch…
