Analysis of Franz-Keldysh oscillations in photoreflectance spectra and line shapes of the differential surface photovoltage spectra enabled to estimate built-in electric fields and excitonic parameters for a large number of QW subbands. The experimental interband transition energies were compared with calculations performed within the envelope function approximation taking into account non-parabolicity of the energy bands. The dominant exciton line broadening mechanisms were revealed, and the interface roughness was evaluated from analysis of the dependence of exciton linewidth broadening on the QW width. Terahertz spectroscopic measurements in p-type structures have indicated strong absorption around 55 &mgr;m wavelength due to intraband absorption of the bound holes, while increase in photocurrent in the structures below 80 &mgr;m wavelength is caused by photothermal ionization of Be acceptors.","PeriodicalId":273853,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Advanced Optical Materials and Devices","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129488533","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Ar/C2H2 gas volume ratio varied from 12 to 100, and the distance between plasma torch nozzle exit and the samples was 0.005, 0.01 and 0.02 m. SEM revealed carbon coatings thickness in the range of 20-270 &mgr;m, and variation of the growth rate from 0.067 &mgr;m/s to 1.5 &mgr;m/s. Growth rate of the coatings increases decreasing Ar/C2H2 gas ratio and the distance. The Raman spectra of carbon films indicate the upward shift of the D (~1360 cm-1) and G (~1600 cm-1) peaks, compared to typical diamond-like carbon (DLC). a-C:H coatings deposited at higher Ar/C2H2 gas ratio (60 and 100) and distance d greater than or equal to 0.01 m contain high sp3 bond fraction and are attributed to DLC films. However Raman spectra shape and ID/IG ratio demonstrate existence of diamond phase mixed with glassy carbon phase. Films produced at lower Ar/C2H2 ratios are graphite-like carbon (GLC). The Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy has shown that film transparency increases decreasing acetylene gas content. Reflectance of the films depends on Ar/C2H2 gas ratio and distance, and varies from 60% up to 90%. The IR spectra showed clear evidence of C=C and C=O bonds in GLC films and presence of sp3 CH2 symmetric (2850 cm-1) and antisymmetric (2920 cm-1) modes in DLC coatings.","PeriodicalId":273853,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Advanced Optical Materials and Devices","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132739513","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We suggest theoretical model for optical transitions in InGaN compounds with strong compositional fluctuations leading to two distinct types of the regions, one of which is In-rich islands. We assume that optical band-gap within those two regions is randomly fluctuating with Gaussian distribution.

In this work, the results of the investigation of the reaction kinetics using a tunable light source (&lgr;=600÷1400nm) are presented. Spectral measurements were accomplished with a commercial spectral ellipsometer GES-5 (SOPRA, France). It was demonstrated that this method is sufficiently sensitive for lipase interactions with a thin MNFcP layer (d=3.65nm). It was concluded that the experimental plasmon minimum shift is due to lipase sorption on the MNFcP and, as a result, causes an increase in the effective layer thickness. These results are important in understanding the interaction of these molecules and in determing their size and distribution on the surface.","PeriodicalId":273853,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Advanced Optical Materials and Devices","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127514072","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
