Intrinsic spin-orbit interaction in diffusive normal wire Josephson weak links: Supercurrent and density of states
2016
We study the effect of the intrinsic (Rashba or Dresselhaus) spin-orbit interaction in superconductor–nanowire–superconductor (SNS) weak links in the presence of a spin-splitting field that can result either from an intrinsic exchange field or the Zeeman effect of an applied field. We solve the full nonlinear Usadel equations numerically [The code used for calculating the results in this paper is available in https://github.com/wompo/Usadel-for-nanowires] and analyze the resulting supercurrent through the weak link and the behavior of the density of states in the center of the wire. We point out how the presence of the spin-orbit interaction gives rise to a long-range spin triplet supercurr…
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…
Template Fabrication of Nano-Structures using Anodic Alumina Membranes
2007
The influence of experimental parameters on the morphology of the porous structure and on the formation kinetics has been investigated for anodic alumina membranes (AAM) grown in aqueous H3PO4 at 160 V. It was found that pore aspect ratio and membrane porosity on the solution-side surface are influenced by tensiostatic charge, bath temperature and the presence of Al3+ ions in solution. Morphological and kinetic data, recorded in different conditions, give useful information on the growth mechanism of pore channels in phosphoric acid solution. Nickel nano-structures have been fabricated using AAM as ternplate.
Semiconductors: Growth and Characterization
2018
Semiconducting materials are widely used in several applications such as photonics, photovoltaics, electronics and thermoelectrics, because of their optical and electro-optical features. The fundamental and technological importance of these materials is due to the unique physical and chemical properties. Over the years, numerous methods have been developed for the synthesis of high efficient semiconductors. Besides, a variety of approach and characterization methods have been used to study the numerous and fascinating properties of the semiconducting materials. This book collects new developments about semiconductors, from the fundamental issues to the synthesis and applications. Special at…
PEDOT saturošu nanošķiedru iegūšana, izmantojot elektrovērpšanas metodi, un to elektrisko īpašību raksturošana
2020
Šajā darbā ir veikti pētījumi ar PEDOT:PSS polimēra nanodiegiem un plānajām kārtiņām. Nanodiegi tika iegūti izmantojot elektrovērpšanas metodi. Tika pētītas iegūto paraugu īpašības – elektriskā vadītspēja un Zēbeka koeficients, kā arī nanodiegu dimensionālie lielumi. Šī pētījuma mērķis ir iegūt nanodiegus ar pēc iespējas augstāku elektrisko vadītspēju. Tas tiek panākts palielinot PEDOT:PSS polimēra koncentrāciju šķīdumos, pārbaudot arī šķīdumu, kurā nav pievienots PEDOT:PSS polimērs. Ir izmērītas īpatnējās elektriskās vadītspējas un Zēbeka koeficienti nanodiegu un plāno kārtiņu paraugiem. Iegūtās vadītspējas un Zēbeka koeficienti ir salīdzināti savā starpā, lai saprastu elektrovērpšanas pro…

High-Performance Lead-Acid Batteries Enabled by Pb and PbO2 Nanostructured Electrodes: Effect of Operating Temperature
2021
Lead-acid batteries are now widely used for energy storage, as result of an established and reliable technology. In the last decade, several studies have been carried out to improve the performance of this type of batteries, with the main objective to replace the conventional plates with innovative electrodes with improved stability, increased capacity and a larger active surface. Such studies ultimately aim to improve the kinetics of electrochemical conversion reactions at the electrode-solution interface and to guarantee a good electrical continuity during the repeated charge/discharge cycles. To achieve these objectives, our contribution focuses on the employment of nanostructured electr…
