▼ In this thesis we theoretically investigated static and dynamic correlation effects in semiconductor nanostructures. Structural inhomogneity and confinement quantization effects make this class of materials exhibit exotic properties under different experimental conditions. Time dependent coupling of the local states under time dependent perturbations and the fluctuation of the proximity couplings in the length scale of tunneling give rise to dynamical correlations that put their signature in the optical and transport properties. Based on the Orbital Free Local Density Approximation (OF-LDA), the exchange and correlation contribution to the orbital energy and the size dependent nature of the threshold for optical absorption are studied. The effects of dynamical correlations between the states in a single nanostructure and the effects of dynamical correlations between the states in proximity coupled configurations are investigated with the Non Equilibrium Green Function Formalism (NEGF) as the theoretical frame work. The theoretical formulation of the non equilibrium dynamical analysis is used to describe the coherent regime optical and transport phenomena in semiconductor nanostructures. The results demonstrate that the presence of strong coupling between electronic states in semiconductor nanostructures leads to the formation of d states. First we have shown the emergence of collapse and revival phenomenon during the coherent regime absorption in a single dot. We presented qualitative and quantitative description of the Rabi oscillation. The dependence on the mean photon number and on the strength of the couplings between electronic states is demonstrated. We found that similar phenomenon in a wide range of many body system could be satisfactorily described assuming entanglement of the lower levels. Secondly, we theoretically investigated correlation effects in tunnel coupled nanostructures. The quantum blockade phenomenon in wide experimental samples is v explored. The appearance of double dot structures as a time shared entangler is predicted. It is also found that the presence of a transparent boundary between quantum dots lead to the formation of local entangled states that are too difficult for experimental demonstration. Lastly the possible technological value of a double dot –in series configuration is presented. Its operation as electron-spin polarization is discussed and its potential for application as IR detector is proposed. Advisors/Committee Members: Prof. P. Singh (advisor).

▼ Electronic microchips have now firmly plateaued in switching speed. A promising solution for increasing performance on unparallelizable tasks is to switch digital data purely in the optical domain on a photonic chip, as all-optical switching can reach up to terahertz speeds and beyond. Because ultrafast optical effects are weak phenomena, materials with extremely high nonlinear sensitivity must be developed, and very high optical intensities and coupling efficiencies are required to adequately switch data streams of light. In this thesis, unique all-optical platforms, waveguides, fiber-waveguide grating couplers, and an ultrafast optical switch were experimentally demonstrated as proofs-of-concept for the validity of densely integrated all-optical switches. Two horizontal slot waveguiding structures were designed and fabricated from scratch: a multiple horizontal slot waveguide with polycrystalline silicon sandwiching third-order nonlinear slots and a nonlinear cover-cladding with slot-like behavior over a thin crystalline silicon waveguide. Perfectly vertical grating couplers were then designed from a novel genetic algorithm, fabricated, and experimentally tested for both platforms with two promising nonlinear materials: silicon nanocrystals or a supra-molecular assembly, DDMEBT. Vertical grating couplers in the multiple horizontal slot waveguide achieved a theoretical coupling efficiency of 63% and an experimental coupling efficiency of 60%, which is the highest coupling efficiency into nonlinear slot waveguides to date. Vertical grating couplers for the cover-slot waveguide experimentally demonstrated a coupling efficiency of 38% and an extrapolated 1 dB bandwidth of 66 nm, the largest grating-coupled 1 dB bandwidth obtained for slot waveguides to date. A grating coupler was then designed to be included as one of two grating reflectors in a nonlinear resonator switch. Coupled mode theory and vectorial eigenmode propagation simulations were used to optimally design the grating coupler/resonator device, resulting in a record low footprint of 710 μm² per combined switch and fiber coupler device. The third-order nonlinear molecular material, DDMEBT, was, for the first time, successfully spun onto pre-patterned silicon-on-insulator chips with repeatable, defect-free results. Extremely sensitive experimental autocorrelation of the resonator's impulse response yielded output pulse durations as low as 600 femtoseconds. At high power and low pulse repetition rates, the switch's resonances redshifted by 4 nm with 4 dB of switching contrast, revealing an ultrafast Kerr effect which matched previous works. The resonator switch is therefore capable of modulating a single optical carrier frequency at 1 THz and switching an optical data stream at 500 GHz. These are the fastest switching speeds demonstrated by an integrated all-optical switch and validate the proof-of-concept needed for a future of densely integrated all-optical processing.

▼ Doping semiconductor nanocrystals, commonly known as quantum dots (QDs), has attracted significant attention from the scientific community due to the highly tunable nature of the physical properties, such as optical, electrical, opto-magnetic properties, with respect to both size and dopant type/concentration. In this dissertation, Mn-doped CdS/ZnS (core/shell) QDs were used as a model system to study the characteristics of dopant luminescence coupled with plasmonic metal nanoparticles (MNPs) and its application as a nano-thermometer using temperature dependent Mn luminescence. In the first part of this dissertation, plasmon-enhanced Mn luminescence from the Mn-doped CdS/ZnS QDs near plasmonic MNPs was studied. Rapid intraparticle energy transfer between exciton and Mn, occurring on a few picoseconds time scale, separates the absorber (exciton) from the emitter (Mn), whose emission is detuned far from the plasmonic absorption of the MNP. The rapid temporal separation of the absorber and emitter combined with the reduced spectral overlap between Mn and plasmonic MNP suppresses the quenching of the luminescence while taking advantage of the plasmon-enhanced excitation. The plasmon enhancement of exciton and Mn luminescence intensities in undoped and doped QDs were simultaneously compared as a function of the distance between MNP and QD layers in a multilayer structure to examine the expected advantage of the reduced quenching in the sensitized luminescence. At the optimum MNP-QD layer distance, Mn luminescence exhibits stronger net enhancement (ca. twice) than that of the exciton, which can be explained with a model incorporating fast sensitization along with reduced emitter-MNP spectral overlap. In the second part, ratiometric thermometry on Mn luminescence spectrum was performed using Mn-doped CdS/ZnS core/shell QDs that have a large local lattice strain on Mn site, which results in the enhanced temperature dependence of the bandwidth and peak position. Mn luminescence spectral lineshape is highly robust with respect to the change in the polarity, phase and pH of the surrounding medium and aggregation of the QDs, showing great potential in temperature imaging under chemically heterogeneous environment. The temperature sensitivity (?IR/IR = 0.5%/K at 293 K, IR = intensity ratio at two different wavelengths) is highly linear in a wide range of temperatures from cryogenic to above-ambient temperatures. Surface temperature imaging was demonstrated on a cryo-cooling device showing the temperature variation of ~200 K (77?260 K) by imaging the luminescence of the QD film formed by simple spin coating, taking advantage of the environment-insensitive luminescence.

▼ Nanostructured materials such as nanowires have attracted significant attention in the past two decades. Both metallic and semiconducting nanowires have been demonstrated as important building blocks for numerous electronic and optoelectronic device applications. In this thesis, we have demonstrated a scalable route for synthesizing vertically aligned semiconducting nanowires using nanosphere lithography (NSL) technique in combination with selected area metal organic chemical vapor deposition (SA-MOCVD). Comparable optical properties were observed between the nanowires produced by NSL patterning technique and nanowires produced by using more expensive and slow electron beam lithography. We have also used capacitance-voltage measurement technique to determine the doping level in these nanowire arrays. In metallic nanowires, we have demonstrated fabrication of high performance transparent conductive electrodes by using Ag nanowires and proposed a technique to synthesis thin Ag nanowires which can have applications in various optoelectronic devices. ❧ This dissertation describes the above-mentioned aspects in detail and accordingly consists of seven chapters. Following an overview and an introduction of fundamental knowledge of nanolithography and transparent conductive electrodes in Chapter 1, Chapter 2 discusses the scalable nanosphere lithography patterning and selected area growth of vertically aligned GaAs nanowire arrays, a route towards optimized optical absorption and reflection. ❧ Chapter 3 discusses the continued work on GaAs nanowire array and employs the use of capacitance-voltage measurement technique to determine the doping level of these nanowires which is important for using these nanowires for fabrication of any electronic devices. ❧ Chapter 4 deals with an important issue of replacement of traditional ITO as a transparent conductive electrode (TCE) for optoelectronic devices. There is a need for replacement of ITO due to several drawback associated with ITO as will be discussed in detail in the chapter. We demonstrate the viability of silver nanowire based random network film as a potential replacement. We achieve remarkable performance in terms of sheet resistance and transparency which rivals that of ITO, supporting a very strong case for Ag nanowire film. We combine traditional spray coating technique with novel Ag nanowires to fabricate high performance TCE. In chapter 5, we further improve the performance of the TCE produced by Ag nanowires by using a dry transfer technique demonstrating a performance comparable to ITO and much better than other potential candidates that can be used as TCE. ❧ In chapter 6 we addressed an important issue associated with using Ag nanowires as a future candidate for TCE by proposing a technique to synthesis thin Ag nanowires which can find application in optoelectronic device. ❧ Finally in chapter 7, we conclude by discussing the future directions and work that needs to be done in order to carry forward the advance made in this thesis.

▼ Inorganic nanomaterials are being actively researched due to their unique physical and chemical properties. These materials can be used for a wide variety of applications and technologies which have stimulated research into the discovery, understanding and control of the morphology of materials at the nanoscale. Biologists have recently integrated biomaterials with semiconductor nanoparticles to expand their applications to include biosensing, bioimaging and therapeutic strategies. Since the water solubility of semiconductor nanoparticles is crucial for bioapplications, the fabrication of water-soluble semiconductor nanocrystals with tailored properties has become more significant. This thesis is focused on the solution phase synthesis of nanoparticles and nanowires containing the element tin. This includes tin nanoparticles, tingermanium alloy nanowires, tin sulphide nanoparticles and tin telluride nanoparticles. The aim of this research was to synthesize nanocrystals with tightly controlled size and shape for various applications,in particular for bioapplications. The properties, potential applications and crystal structure of target materials have been discussed in Chapter 1. The target materials synthesized by using chemical reaction in the presence of surfactant were characterized primarily by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX) and Selected Area Electron Diffraction (SAED). Powder X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy (STEM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Ultraviolet-Visible Microscopy Absorption (UV-VIS), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), Photoluminescence (PL) and Diffuse Reflectance were also used extensively (Chapter 2). The third chapter of this thesis focuses on the the development of a facile and cheap route for the synthesis of tin nanoparticles by reducing a tin precursor in an organic solvent. The low-melting tin nanoparticles have been considered as a good catalyst for the growth of semiconductor nanowires. The fourth chapter in this thesis focuses on the development of a convenient synthesis of tin germanium alloy nanowires via solution-liquid-solid growth (SLS). Tin germanium alloy nanowires were synthesized through a self-catalyzed process in which the wires were grown from in situ made Sn droplets and Ge(Ph)₃Cl. The factors affecting morphology were ascertained and the growth direction, composition, local crystal structure and possible growth mechanism have been investigated. The fifth chapter in this thesis focuses on the development of a novel one-pot synthesis of water-soluble SnS nanoparticles. The synthesis of SnS nanoparticles involves the reaction of inorganic starting materials SnBr₂ and Na₂S in the presence of various ethanolamine derivatives in ethylene glycol. Optical studies of as synthesized SnS nanoparticle show size dependent effects in both absorbance and reflectivity. The sixth chapter in this thesis focuses on the development of a facile direct synthesis of water dispersible SnTe… Advisors/Committee Members: Tilley, Richard, Al-Salim, Najeh.

▼ In this thesis, we report a new architecture for making lateral hole quantum dots based on shallow accumulation-mode AlGaAs/GaAs heterostructures. Utilizing a double-level-gate architecture, we demonstrate the operation of ultra-small single and double quantum dots in the few-hole regime using electrical measurements. Devices with different dimensions and layouts are tested to reach the single-hole limit. With the flexibility of the double-level-gate architecture, both single and double quantum dots can be formed within the same device with good tunability.With the ability to isolate a single heavy-hole spin, we study the Zeeman splitting of the orbital states in different field orientations via magnetospectroscopy measurements. The extracted value of the hole effective g-factor is found to strongly depend on the orbital state, and be highly anisotropic with respect to the magnetic field direction. We show that these peculiar behaviors of the heavy-hole spins can be qualitatively explained by the effects of strong spin-orbit coupling and strong Coulomb interactions in the hole system. By varying the dot size in situ, we also demonstrate the tuning of the g-factor anisotropy, and estimate the shape of electrically-defined quantum dot.With the few-hole double quantum dot, we present the first observation of Pauli spin blockade in GaAs hole quantum dots. Utilizing a vector field magnet system, we study the lifting of spin blockade due to the spin-orbit interaction. We found that the effect of spin-orbit coupling on spin blockade to be highly anisotropic in different magnetic field orientations, which agrees with previous theoretical predictions on systems with strong spin-orbit coupling. From the anisotropic lifting of spin blockade, we identify the orientation of the effective spin-orbit field to be along the transport direction, which is very different from experimental results on electron quantum dots and highlights the uniqueness of hole systems.

▼ Quantum superlattice with a narrow energy band is an artificial semiconductor structure demonstrating both nonlinear and active high-frequency electromagnetic properties. These types of superlattices are used as key elements in various miniature electronic devices including frequency multipliers and quantum cascade lasers. Interaction between terahertz radiation and magnetic field in semiconductor superlattices has been the subject of growing research interest, both theoretical and experimental. In this thesis, we study the nonlinear dynamics of electrons in minibands of the semiconductor superlattices subjected to a terahertz electric field and a magnetic field. Electron transport in a semiconductor superlattice with an electric field and a tilted magnetic field has been studied using semiclassical equations. In particular, we consider how dynamics of electron in superlattices evolve with changing the strength and the tilt of a magnetic field. In order to investigate the influence of a tilted magnetic field on electron transport, we calculate the drift velocity for different values of the magnetic field. Studies have shown that the resonance of Bloch oscillations and cyclotron oscillations produces additional peaks in drift velocity. We also found out that appearance of these resonances can promote amplification of a small ac signal applied to the superlattice. In the presence of the electromagnetic field, the superlattice is expected to demonstrate the Hall effect, which however should have a number of very specific features due to an excitation of Bloch oscillations and a significant electric anisotropy. Here, we theoretically study the Hall effect in a semiconductor superlattice both for the steady electron transport and for the transient response. We studied the coherent Hall effect in an extraordinary configuration where the electric field is applied in the transverse direction of the superlattice growth direction. By mapping the momentum dynamics to the pendulum equivalent, we distinguished the two regimes of the oscillations from the viewpoint of the effective potentials. We discuss the experimental manifestation of the Hall effect in a realistic superlattice. We also made the numerical simulations of the polarized THz field and the time-resolved internal electro-optic sampling (TEOS) signals where we found the unusual shaped waveforms of the THz signals.

▼ Hybrid organic/inorganic solar cells such as ZnO/P3HT offer promise in increasing efficiency of organic-based devices. However there are many unresolved issues such as poor short-circuit current and open-circuit voltage that are hampering their widespread, commercial use. It is thought that surface trap states on ZnO are providing an open avenue for carrier recombination thus creating devices with poor current transport characteristics. Using self assembled monolayers (SAMs) may provide some key answers and solutions to this problem by passivating trap states. In the course of this work, benzoic acid, 4-aminobenzoic acid, 4-methoxybenzoic acid, phenylphosphonic acid, and 4-methoxyphenylphosphonic acid SAMs were studied in large part due to their commercial availability. It was found that the phenylphosphonic acids had a clear impact on decreasing dark current; therefore strongly suggesting that exciton recombination has been inhibited to some degree. These molecules also caused a decrease in efficiency by an order of magnitude as compared to a plain ZnO/P3HT bilayer cell (standard). There were pronounced negative effects on the other device parameters such as open circuit voltage and short circuit current. In the case of 4-methoxybenzoic acid and benzoic acid the effects are not so clear in that parts of the dark J-V curve indicate a decrease in dark current while other regions show an increase. Interestingly for the negative effect on efficiency and other device parameters was not as pronounced as the phenylphosphonic acids. In both cases it is hypothesized that because of their wide band gaps and poor energy level matching, they ultimately impact device performance negatively. In the future, use of simulations to determine optimal SAM molecular structures that can be synthesized in the lab or purchased commercially is suggested.

▼ Polychlorinated endocrine disrupting chemicals are environmental pollutants that are increasingly found in water sources. As a result of their hydrophobic properties, they generally accumulate in adipocytes of humans and wildlife when ingested. In this study, the feasibility of the advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) such as heterogeneous photocatalysis technology is investigated for the treatment of organochlorides in water systems. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is the semiconductor catalyst of interest. The literature suggests that the most prominent organochlorides in the region are organochloride pesticides (OCPs). A group of 5 compounds were identified for the investigation; DDT, DDE, heptachlor, chlordane, and a polychlorinated biphenyl compound named 2,3,4-trichlorobiphenyl. Reverse phase solid phase extracted (RP-SPE) surface water organic analytes analysis was conducted using gas chromatography mass spectroscopy (GC-MS). Results from most sampling sites showed high concentration levels of the organochlorides in the environment. Heterogeneous photocatalysed mineralisation processes of organochlorides in aqueous systems were conducted in a batch reactor. Organochloride spiked solutions of differing catalyst concentrations are irradiated using a UV lamp for a period of 30 minutes. The reaction kinetics are determined and weighed against conventional photolysis. Results showed improved photo degradation of organochlorides under photocatalytic imposed conditions in comparison to photolysis. Results also suggest that photocatalytic degradation of organochlorides is less favoured with increased TiO2 catalyst concentrations. Enhanced catalyst performance studies through TiO2 surface property modification were conducted using copper nitrate (CuNO3) as a catalyst dopant. The doped catalyst showed slightly improved degradation of organochlorides at particular catalyst concentrations. Simulated photocatalytic rate of reaction kinetics results are in correlation with the modeled experimental results. They show variability of the degradation constant in the rate of reaction with varied catalyst concentrations. Catalyst concentration efficiency of each compound and the rate of the reactions were determined. Advisors/Committee Members: Chirwa, Evans M.N. (advisor).

▼ The plasma abatement system co-developed by Rf Environmental, Inc. and Texas A & M University has been effective at destroying the global warming gases CF4 and C4F8. The destruction of greenhouse gases, specifically perfluorocompounds, hydrofluorocompounds, chlorofluorocompounds (PFCs, HFCs, CFCs) and SF6, is paramount to significantly affecting atmospheric pollution. The premise of this study was to examine the design of the plasma abatement system for Global Warming Gases (GWGs) and its abatement potential for these gases. The first goal was to reduce the cost of ownership by examining the cooling system. The cost of an air cooling design was 1400/yr. The intent was to reduce the amount of air used or use a different medium that would produce the same amount of heat transfer. A liquid cooling system design had a cost of only 150/yr. A C4F8 abatement experiment was run on the liquid cooling design. The abatement process resulted in a destruction removal efficiency (DRE) of C4F8 of 97.5 percent. A lower operational cost unit was developed, but the operational performance was less than previous investigations. The second goal was to simulate the semiconductor radio frequency etching process and abate the output gases of the C4F8 and SiO2 reaction. The outcomes of this experiment included a microwave simulation of the radio frequency etching reaction and an abatement that resulted in a 99.98 plus/minus .05 percent DRE for C4F8 with no formation of any other CFC gases. The third goal was to simulate the etching process and abate the output gas, CF4 using H2O vapor as the additive gas. The outcomes of this experiment included a microwave simulation of the radio frequency etching reaction and an abatement that resulted in a 99.96 plus/minus .05 percent DRE for CF4 with no formation of any other CFC gases. A low cost of ownership and effective abatement levels will make this system viable for commercial use. The latest data shows the amount of PFC emissions from the semiconductor industry was 3.6 Tg CO2 Eq. The use of this or a similar abatement technology will have a significant impact on reducing environmental pollution.

▼ A substantial amount of astrophysical evidence indicates that approximately a quarter of all energy in the universe is composed of a nonluminous, and nonbaryonic "dark'' matter. Of the potential dark matter particle candidates, Weakly Interacting Massive Particles, or WIMPs, is particularly well motivated. As a means to directly detect WIMP interactions with baryonic matter, the Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (CDMS) project was established, operating at the Soudan Underground Laboratory from 2003 - 2015, under the CDMS II and SuperCDMS Soudan experiments. CDMS detectors simultaneously measure the ionization and phonon energies of recoil events in Si and Ge crystals kept at cryogenic temperatures in a low-background environment. The ratio of ionization energy to recoil energy serves as a discrimination parameter to separate nuclear recoil events from the electron-recoil background. The next installation, SuperCDMS SNOLAB, is preparing for future operation, with an initial payload of eighteen Ge and six Si, 100 mm diameter, 33 mm thick detectors. Of this initial payload, eight Ge and four Si detectors will operate in a high-voltage (~100 V) mode, which have an increased sensitivity to low-mass WIMPs due to decreased energy thresholds. The SuperCDMS test facility at University of Minnesota aids in the detector R&D and characterization of prototype detectors, as part of the scale-up effort for SuperCDMS SNOLAB. This thesis presents the first full ionization and phonon characterization study of a 100 mm diameter, 33 mm thick prototype Ge detector with interleaved phonon and ionization channels. Measurements include ionization collection efficiency, surface event rejection capabilities, and successful demonstration of nuclear recoil event discrimination. Results indicate that 100 mm diameter, interleaved Ge detectors show potential for use in SuperCDMS SNOLAB. As part of detector R&D, the Minnesota test facility also looks beyond the next stage of SuperCDMS, investigating larger individual detectors as a means to easily scale up the sensitive mass of future searches. This thesis presents the design and initial testing results of a prototype 150 mm diameter, 33 mm thick silicon ionization detector, which is 5.2 times larger than those used in SuperCDMS at Soudan and 2.25 times larger than those planned for use at SuperCDMS SNOLAB. In addition, the detector was operated with contact-free ionization electrodes to minimize bias leakage currents, which can limit operation at high bias voltages. The results show promise for the operation of both large volume silicon detectors and contact-free ionization electrodes for scaling up detector mass and bias.
