Functional CdSe and CdSe/ZnS nanoparticles capped with thiols: photophysical and photochemical properties and applications as sensors
2013
Esta tesis se centra en el efecto simbiótico entre los QDs de CdSe o CdSe/ZnS y sus ligandos orgánicos, y las ventajas de este efecto para mejorar la funcionalidad del QD y/o del ligando, o crear una nueva funcionalidad del sistema. Así : 1. la superficie de las nanopartícula recubierta con ligandos orgánicos puede permitir al QD i) permanecer estable en disolventes orgánicos o acuosos, debido a la repulsión estérica o iónica entre las nanopartículas, ii) mantener o aumentar sus propiedades emisivas (pasivación de los defectos de superficie, aumento de distancia entre nanopartícula y moléculas desactivadoras), y/o iii) para proporcionar funcionalidad a la nanopartícula. 2. la forma esférica…
Alkylsilyl compounds as enablers of atomic layer deposition: analysis of (Et3Si)3As through the GaAs process
2016
A new chemistry has been developed to deposit GaAs, the quintessential compound semiconductor. The ALD process is based on a dechlorosilylation reaction between GaCl3 and (Et3Si)3As. Characteristic ALD growth was demonstrated, indicating good applicability of the alkylsilyl arsenide precursor. ALD of GaAs produced uniform, amorphous and stoichiometric films with low impurity content. This was done with saturating growth rates and an easily controlled film thickness. Crystallization was achieved by annealing. Even though the growth rate strongly decreased with increasing deposition temperature, good quality film growth was demonstrated at 175 to 200 °C, indicating the presence of an ALD wind…
Progress in the Development of CdTe and CdZnTe Semiconductor Radiation Detectors for Astrophysical and Medical Applications
2009
Over the last decade, cadmium telluride (CdTe) and cadmium zinc telluride (CdZnTe) wide band gap semiconductors have attracted increasing interest as X-ray and gamma ray detectors. Among the traditional high performance spectrometers based on silicon (Si) and germanium (Ge), CdTe and CdZnTe detectors show high detection efficiency and good room temperature performance and are well suited for the development of compact and reliable detection systems. In this paper, we review the current status of research in the development of CdTe and CdZnTe detectors by a comprehensive survey on the material properties, the device characteristics, the different techniques for improving the overall detector…
Blue Emitting Organic Light Emitting Diodes
2019
Organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) [1] can be fabricated on a range of materials such as glass, silicon or flexible plastic substrates. This can be exploited for the realization of integrated OLED-based fluorescence chemical sensors [2] and microfluidic systems [3] for application in areas such as biotechnology, life sciences, pharmaceuticals, public health and defense. These devices hold promises to be cost effective, ultra-compact (including the possibility to be fabricated into large bidimensional arrays), and capable to handle smaller sample volumes in order to achieve high throughput. Blue light is advantageous because it is strongly absorbed by most sensing molecules attached to bi…

Ultrafast Coherent THz Lattice Dynamics Coupled to Spins in the van der Waals Antiferromagnet FePS3
2022
Coherent THz optical lattice and hybridized phonon–magnon modes are triggered by femtosecond laser pulses in the antiferromagnetic van der Waals semiconductor FePS3. The laser-driven lattice and spin dynamics are investigated in a bulk crystal as well as in a 380 nm-thick exfoliated flake as a function of the excitation photon energy, sample temperature and applied magnetic field. The pump-probe magneto-optical measurements reveal that the amplitude of a coherent phonon mode oscillating at 3.2 THz decreases as the sample is heated up to the Néel temperature. This signal eventually vanishes as the phase transition to the paramagnetic phase occurs, thus revealing its connection to the long-ra…
