The investigation of physical properties of matter has progressed so much during the last hundred years. Today physics is divided in to a large distinct group of special branches. These branches are distinguished by the particular area studied, method of investigation and so on. An independent and important branch that has developed is the physics ofthin films.Any object in solid or liquid form with one of its dimensions very much smaller than that of the other two may be called a thin film. It is having only one common property, namely, one of their dimensions is very small, though all their physical properties may be different. Thin layers of oil, floating on the surface of water, with their fascinating colours, have attracted men’s curiosity from time immemorial. The earliest application of thin films was the protective coatings in the form of paints. A thin layer of tin has been used from ancient times to protect copper utensils from corrosion. Indium thin films are used in certain applications on account of their good lubricating property. Relay contacts are coated with thin films of rare earth metals in order to prevent burning due to arcing. Hard coatings are also available using diamond like carbon (i-carbon). The basic properties of thin films are of considerable interest because of their potential applications in various fields of science and technology

Catalysis research underpins the science of modern chemical processing and fuel technologies. Catalysis is commercially one of the most important technologies in national economies. Solid state heterogeneous catalyst materials such as metal oxides and metal particles on ceramic oxide substrates are most common. They are typically used with commodity gases and liquid reactants. Selective oxidation catalysts of hydrocarbon feedstocks is the dominant process of converting them to key industrial chemicals, polymers and energy sources.[1] In the absence of a unique successfiil theory of heterogeneous catalysis, attempts are being made to correlate catalytic activity with some specific properties of the solid surface. Such correlations help to narrow down the search for a good catalyst for a given reaction. The heterogeneous catalytic performance of material depends on many factors such as [2] Crystal and surface structure of the catalyst. Thermodynamic stability of the catalyst and the reactant. Acid- base properties of the solid surface. Surface defect properties of the catalyst.Electronic and semiconducting properties and the band structure. Co-existence of dilferent types of ions or structures. Adsorption sites and adsorbed species such as oxygen.Preparation method of catalyst , surface area and nature of heat treatment. Molecular structure of the reactants. Many systematic investigations have been performed to correlate catalytic performances with the above mentioned properties. Many of these investigations remain isolated and further research is needed to bridge the gap in the present knowledge of the field.

The carrier transport mechanism of polyaniline (PA) thin films prepared by radio frequency plasma polymerization is described in this paper. The mechanism of electrical conduction and carrier mobility of PA thin films for different temperatures were examined using the aluminium–PA–aluminium (Al–PA–Al) structure. It is found that the mechanism of carrier transport in these thin films is space charge limited conduction. J –V studies on an asymmetric electrode configuration using indium tin oxide (ITO) as the base electrode and Al as the upper electrode (ITO–PA–Al structure) show a diode-like behaviour with a considerable rectification ratio

Two-dimensional electronic systems play a crucial role in modern electronics and offer a multitude of opportunities to study the fundamental phenomena at low dimensional physics. A quantum well heterostructure based on polyaniline (P) and iodine doped polyaniline (I) thin films were fabricated using radio frequency plasma polymerization on indium tin oxide coated glass plate. Scanning probe microscopy and scanning electron microscopy studies were employed to study the morphology and roughness of the polymer thin films. Local electronic density of states (LDOS) of the P–I–P heterostructures is probed using scanning tunnelling spectroscopy (STS). A step like LDOS is observed in the P–I–P heterostructure and is attributed to the quantum well confinement of electrons in the polymer heterostructure.

Effect of chlorine doping on the opto-electronic properties of β-In2S3 thin film, deposited by spray pyrolysis technique is studied for the first time. Chlorine was incorporated in the spray solution, using HCl. Pristine sample prepared using In(NO3)3 and thiourea as the precursors showed very low photosensitivity. But upon adding optimum quantity of chlorine, the photosensitivity increased by 3 orders. X-ray analysis revealed that crystallinity was also increasing up to this optimum level of Cl concentration. It was also observed that samples with high photosensitivity were having higher band gap. The present study proved that doping with chlorine was beneficial as this could result in forming crystalline and photosensitive films of indium sulfide.

In this paper, we report the results of investigations on the potential of spray pyrolysis technique in depositing electron selective layer over larger area for the fabrication of inverted bulk-heterojunction polymer solar cells. The electron selective layer (In2S3) was deposited using spray pyrolysis technique and the linear heterojunction device thus fabricated exhibited good uniformity in photovoltaic properties throughout the area of the device. An MEH-PPV:PCBM inverted bulk-heterojunction device with In2S3 electron selective layer (active area of 3.25 3.25 cm2) was also fabricated and tested under indoor and outdoor conditions. Fromthe indoor measurements employing a tungsten halogen lamp (50mW/cm2 illumination), an opencircuit voltage of 0.41V and a short-circuit current of 5.6mA were obtained. On the other hand, the outdoor measurements under direct sunlight (74mW/cm2) yielded an open-circuit voltage of 0.46V and a short-circuit current of 9.37mA

A nanocomposite is a multiphase solid material where one of the phases has one, two or three dimensions of less than 100 nanometers (nm), or structures having nano-scale repeat distances between the different phases that make up the material. In the broadest sense this definition can include porous media, colloids, gels and copolymers, but is more usually taken to mean the solid combination of a bulk matrix and nano-dimensional phase(s) differing in properties due to dissimilarities in structure and chemistry. The mechanical, electrical, thermal, optical, electrochemical, catalytic properties of the nanocomposite will differ markedly from that of the component materials. Size limits for these effects have been proposed, <5 nm for catalytic activity, <20 nm for making a hard magnetic material soft, <50 nm for refractive index changes, and <100 nm for achieving superparamagnetism, mechanical strengthening or restricting matrix dislocation movement. Conducting polymers have attracted much attention due to high electrical conductivity, ease of preparation, good environmental stability and wide variety of applications in light-emitting, biosensor chemical sensor, separation membrane and electronic devices. The most widely studied conducting polymers are polypyrrole, polyaniline, polythiophene etc. Conducting polymers provide tremendous scope for tuning of their electrical conductivity from semiconducting to metallic region by way of doping and are organic electro chromic materials with chemically active surface. But they are chemically very sensitive and have poor mechanical properties and thus possessing a processibility problem. Nanomaterial shows the presence of more sites for surface reactivity, they possess good mechanical properties and good dispersant too. Thus nanocomposites formed by combining conducting polymers and inorganic oxide nanoparticles possess the good properties of both the constituents and thus enhanced their utility. The properties of such type of nanocomposite are strongly depending on concentration of nanomaterials to be added. Conducting polymer composites is some suitable composition of a conducting polymer with one or more inorganic nanoparticles so that their desirable properties are combined successfully. The composites of core shell metal oxide particles-conducting polymer combine the electrical properties of the polymer shell and the magnetic, optical, electrical or catalytic characteristics of the metal oxide core, which could greatly widen their applicability in the fields of catalysis, electronics and optics. Moreover nanocomposite material composed of conducting polymers & oxides have open more field of application such as drug delivery, conductive paints, rechargeable batteries, toners in photocopying, smart windows, etc.The present work is mainly focussed on the synthesis, characterization and various application studies of conducting polymer modified TiO2 nanocomposites. The conclusions of the present work are outlined below, Mesoporous TiO2 was prepared by the cationic surfactant P123 assisted hydrothermal synthesis route and conducting polymer modified TiO2 nanocomposites were also prepared via the same technique. All the prepared systems show XRD pattern corresponding to anatase phase of TiO2, which means that there is no phase change occurring even after conducting polymer modification. Raman spectroscopy gives supporting evidence for the XRD results. It also confirms the incorporation of the polymer. The mesoporous nature and surface area of the prepared samples were analysed by N2 adsorption desorption studies and the mesoporous ordering can be confirmed by low angle XRD measurementThe morphology of the prepared samples was obtained from both SEM & TEM. The elemental analysis of the samples was performed by EDX analysisThe hybrid composite formation is confirmed by FT-IR spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopyAll the prepared samples have been used for the photocatalytic degradation of dyes, antibiotic, endocrine disruptors and some other organic pollutants. Photocatalytic antibacterial activity studies were also performed using the prepared systemsAll the prepared samples have been used for the photocatalytic degradation of dyes, antibiotic, endocrine disruptors and some other organic pollutants. Photocatalytic antibacterial activity studies were also performed using the prepared systems Polyaniline modified TiO2 nanocomposite systems were found to have good antibacterial activity. Thermal diffusivity studies of the polyaniline modified systems were carried out using thermal lens technique. It is observed that as the amount of polyaniline in the composite increases the thermal diffusivity also increases. The prepared systems can be used as an excellent coolant in various industrial purposes. Nonlinear optical properties (3rd order nonlinearity) of the polyaniline modified systems were studied using Z scan technique. The prepared materials can be used for optical limiting Applications. Lasing studies of polyaniline modified TiO2 systems were carried out and the studies reveal that TiO2 - Polyaniline composite is a potential dye laser gain medium.

The scope of this work is the fundamental growth, tailoring and characterization of self-organized indium arsenide quantum dots (QDs) and their exploitation as active region for diode lasers emitting in the 1.55 µm range. This wavelength regime is especially interesting for long-haul telecommunications as optical fibers made from silica glass have the lowest optical absorption. Molecular Beam Epitaxy is utilized as fabrication technique for the quantum dots and laser structures. The results presented in this thesis depict the first experimental work for which this reactor was used at the University of Kassel. Most research in the field of self-organized quantum dots has been conducted in the InAs/GaAs material system. It can be seen as the model system of self-organized quantum dots, but is not suitable for the targeted emission wavelength. Light emission from this system at 1.55 µm is hard to accomplish. To stay as close as possible to existing processing technology, the In(AlGa)As/InP (100) material system is deployed. Depending on the epitaxial growth technique and growth parameters this system has the drawback of producing a wide range of nano species besides quantum dots. Best known are the elongated quantum dashes (QDash). Such structures are preferentially formed, if InAs is deposited on InP. This is related to the low lattice-mismatch of 3.2 %, which is less than half of the value in the InAs/GaAs system. The task of creating round-shaped and uniform QDs is rendered more complex considering exchange effects of arsenic and phosphorus as well as anisotropic effects on the surface that do not need to be dealt with in the InAs/GaAs case. While QDash structures haven been studied fundamentally as well as in laser structures, they do not represent the theoretical ideal case of a zero-dimensional material. Creating round-shaped quantum dots on the InP(100) substrate remains a challenging task. Details of the self-organization process are still unknown and the formation of the QDs is not fully understood yet. In the course of the experimental work a novel growth concept was discovered and analyzed that eases the fabrication of QDs. It is based on different crystal growth and ad-atom diffusion processes under supply of different modifications of the arsenic atmosphere in the MBE reactor. The reactor is equipped with special valved cracking effusion cells for arsenic and phosphorus. It represents an all-solid source configuration that does not rely on toxic gas supply. The cracking effusion cell are able to create different species of arsenic and phosphorus. This constitutes the basis of the growth concept. With this method round-shaped QD ensembles with superior optical properties and record-low photoluminescence linewidth were achieved. By systematically varying the growth parameters and working out a detailed analysis of the experimental data a range of parameter values, for which the formation of QDs is favored, was found. A qualitative explanation of the formation characteristics based on the surface migration of In ad-atoms is developed. Such tailored QDs are finally implemented as active region in a self-designed diode laser structure. A basic characterization of the static and temperature-dependent properties was carried out. The QD lasers exceed a reference quantum well laser in terms of inversion conditions and temperature-dependent characteristics. Pulsed output powers of several hundred milli watt were measured at room temperature. In particular, the lasers feature a high modal gain that even allowed cw-emission at room temperature of a processed ridge wave guide device as short as 340 µm with output powers of 17 mW. Modulation experiments performed at the Israel Institute of Technology (Technion) showed a complex behavior of the QDs in the laser cavity. Despite the fact that the laser structure is not fully optimized for a high-speed device, data transmission capabilities of 15 Gb/s combined with low noise were achieved. To the best of the author`s knowledge, this renders the lasers the fastest QD devices operating at 1.55 µm. The thesis starts with an introductory chapter that pronounces the advantages of optical fiber communication in general. Chapter 2 will introduce the fundamental knowledge that is necessary to understand the importance of the active region`s dimensions for the performance of a diode laser. The novel growth concept and its experimental analysis are presented in chapter 3. Chapter 4 finally contains the work on diode lasers.

Diese Arbeit thematisiert die optimierte Darstellung von organischen Mikro- und Nanodrähten, Untersuchungen bezüglich deren molekularen Aufbaus und die anwendungsorientierte Charakterisierung der Eigenschaften. Mikro- und Nanodrähte haben in den letzten Jahren im Zuge der Miniaturisierung von Technologien an weitreichendem Interesse gewonnen. Solche eindimensionalen Strukturen, deren Durchmesser im Bereich weniger zehn Nanometer bis zu einigen wenigen Mikrometern liegt, sind Gegenstand intensiver Forschung. Neben anorganischen Ausgangssubstanzen zur Erzeugung von Mikro- und Nanodrähten haben organische Funktionsmaterialien aufgrund ihrer einfachen und kostengünstigen Verarbeitbarkeit sowie ihrer interessanten elektrischen und optischen Eigenschaften an Bedeutung gewonnen. Eine wichtige Materialklasse ist in diesem Zusammenhang die Verbindungsklasse der n-halbleitenden Perylentetracarbonsäurediimide (kurz Perylendiimide). Dem erfolgreichen Einsatz von eindimensionalen Strukturen als miniaturisierte Bausteine geht die optimierte und kontrollierte Herstellung voraus. Im Rahmen der Doktorarbeit wurde die neue Methode der Drahterzeugung „Trocknen unter Lösungsmittelatmosphäre“ entwickelt, welche auf Selbstassemblierung der Substanzmoleküle aus Lösung basiert und unter dem Einfluss von Lösungsmitteldampf direkt auf einem vorgegebenen Substrat stattfindet. Im Gegensatz zu literaturbekannten Methoden ist kein Transfer der Drähte aus einem Reaktionsgefäß nötig und damit verbundene Beschädigungen der Strukturen werden vermieden. Während herkömmliche Methoden in einer unkontrolliert großen Menge von ineinander verwundenen Drähten resultieren, erlaubt die substratbasierte Technik die Bildung voneinander separierter Einzelfasern und somit beispielsweise den Einsatz in Einzelstrukturbauteilen. Die erhaltenen Fasern sind morphologisch sehr gleichmäßig und weisen bei Längen von bis zu 5 mm bemerkenswert hohe Aspektverhältnisse von über 10000 auf. Darüber hinaus kann durch das direkte Drahtwachstum auf dem Substrat über den Einsatz von vorstrukturierten Oberflächen und Wachstumsmasken gerichtetes, lokal beschränktes Drahtwachstum erzielt werden und damit aktive Kontrolle auf Richtung und Wachstumsbereich der makroskopisch nicht handhabbaren Objekte ausgeübt werden. Um das Drahtwachstum auch hinsichtlich der Materialauswahl, d. h. der eingesetzten Ausgangsmaterialien zur Drahterzeugung und somit der resultierenden Eigenschaften der gebildeten Strukturen aktiv kontrollieren zu können, wird der Einfluss unterschiedlicher Parameter auf die Morphologie der Selbstassemblierungsprodukte am Beispiel unterschiedlicher Derivate betrachtet. So stellt sich zum einen die Art der eingesetzten Lösungsmittel in flüssiger und gasförmiger Phase beim Trocknen unter Lösungsmittelatmosphäre als wichtiger Faktor heraus. Beide Lösungsmittel dienen als Interaktionspartner für die Moleküle des funktionellen Drahtmaterials im Selbstassemblierungsprozess. Spezifische Wechselwirkungen zwischen Perylendiimid-Molekülen untereinander und mit Lösungsmittel-Molekülen bestimmen dabei die äußere Form der erhaltenen Strukturen. Ein weiterer wichtiger Faktor ist die Molekülstruktur des verwendeten funktionellen Perylendiimids. Es wird der Einfluss einer Bay-Substitution bzw. einer unsymmetrischen Imid-Substitution auf die Morphologie der erhaltenen Strukturen herausgestellt. Für das detaillierte Verständnis des Zusammenhanges zwischen Molekülstruktur und nötigen Wachstumsbedingungen für die Bildung von eindimensionalen Strukturen zum einen, aber auch die resultierenden Eigenschaften der erhaltenen Aggregationsprodukte zum anderen, sind Informationen über den molekularen Aufbau von großer Bedeutung. Im Rahmen der Doktorarbeit konnte ein molekular hoch geordneter, kristalliner Aufbau der Drähte nachgewiesen werden. Durch Kombination unterschiedlicher Messmethoden ist es gelungen, die molekulare Anordnung in Strukturen aus einem Spirobifluoren-substituierten Derivat in Form einer verkippten Molekülstapelung entlang der Drahtlängsrichtung zu bestimmen. Um mögliche Anwendungsbereiche der erzeugten Drähte aufzuzeigen, wurden diese hinsichtlich ihrer elektrischen und optischen Eigenschaften analysiert. Neben dem potentiellen Einsatz im Bereich von Filteranwendungen und Sensoren, sind vor allem die halbleitenden und optisch wellenleitenden Eigenschaften hervorzuheben. Es konnten organische Transistoren auf der Basis von Einzeldrähten mit im Vergleich zu Dünnschichtbauteilen erhöhten Ladungsträgerbeweglichkeiten präpariert werden. Darüber hinaus wurden die erzeugten eindimensionalen Strukturen als aktive optische Wellenleiter charakterisiert. Die im Rahmen der Dissertation erarbeiteten Kenntnisse bezüglich der Bildung von eindimensionalen Strukturen durch Selbstassemblierung, des Drahtaufbaus und erster anwendungsorientierter Charakterisierung stellen eine Basis zur Weiterentwicklung solcher miniaturisierter Bausteine für unterschiedlichste Anwendungen dar. Die neu entwickelte Methode des Trocknens unter Lösungsmittelatmosphäre ist nicht auf den Einsatz von Perylendiimiden beschränkt, sondern kann auf andere Substanzklassen ausgeweitet werden. Dies eröffnet breite Möglichkeiten der Materialauswahl und somit der Einsatzmöglichkeiten der erhaltenen Strukturen.

The main focus and concerns of this PhD thesis is the growth of III-V semiconductor nanostructures (Quantum dots (QDs) and quantum dashes) on silicon substrates using molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) technique. The investigation of influence of the major growth parameters on their basic properties (density, geometry, composition, size etc.) and the systematic characterization of their structural and optical properties are the core of the research work. The monolithic integration of III-V optoelectronic devices with silicon electronic circuits could bring enormous prospect for the existing semiconductor technology. Our challenging approach is to combine the superior passive optical properties of silicon with the superior optical emission properties of III-V material by reducing the amount of III-V materials to the very limit of the active region. Different heteroepitaxial integration approaches have been investigated to overcome the materials issues between III-V and Si. However, this include the self-assembled growth of InAs and InGaAs QDs in silicon and GaAx matrices directly on flat silicon substrate, sitecontrolled growth of (GaAs/In0,15Ga0,85As/GaAs) QDs on pre-patterned Si substrate and the direct growth of GaP on Si using migration enhanced epitaxy (MEE) and MBE growth modes. An efficient ex-situ-buffered HF (BHF) and in-situ surface cleaning sequence based on atomic hydrogen (AH) cleaning at 500 °C combined with thermal oxide desorption within a temperature range of 700-900 °C has been established. The removal of oxide desorption was confirmed by semicircular streaky reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED) patterns indicating a 2D smooth surface construction prior to the MBE growth. The evolution of size, density and shape of the QDs are ex-situ characterized by atomic-force microscopy (AFM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The InAs QDs density is strongly increased from 108 to 1011 cm-2 at V/III ratios in the range of 15-35 (beam equivalent pressure values). InAs QD formations are not observed at temperatures of 500 °C and above. Growth experiments on (111) substrates show orientation dependent QD formation behaviour. A significant shape and size transition with elongated InAs quantum dots and dashes has been observed on (111) orientation and at higher Indium-growth rate of 0.3 ML/s. The 2D strain mapping derived from high-resolution TEM of InAs QDs embedded in silicon matrix confirmed semi-coherent and fully relaxed QDs embedded in defectfree silicon matrix. The strain relaxation is released by dislocation loops exclusively localized along the InAs/Si interfaces and partial dislocations with stacking faults inside the InAs clusters. The site controlled growth of GaAs/In0,15Ga0,85As/GaAs nanostructures has been demonstrated for the first time with 1 μm spacing and very low nominal deposition thicknesses, directly on pre-patterned Si without the use of SiO2 mask. Thin planar GaP layer was successfully grown through migration enhanced epitaxy (MEE) to initiate a planar GaP wetting layer at the polar/non-polar interface, which work as a virtual GaP substrate, for the GaP-MBE subsequently growth on the GaP-MEE layer with total thickness of 50 nm. The best root mean square (RMS) roughness value was as good as 1.3 nm. However, these results are highly encouraging for the realization of III-V optical devices on silicon for potential applications.

We present the results of GaInNAs/GaAs quantum dot structures with GaAsN barrier layers grown by solid source molecular beam epitaxy. Extension of the emission wavelength of GaInNAs quantum dots by ~170nm was observed in samples with GaAsN barriers in place of GaAs. However, optimization of the GaAsN barrier layer thickness is necessary to avoid degradation in luminescence intensity and structural property of the GaInNAs dots. Lasers with GaInNAs quantum dots as active layer were fabricated and room-temperature continuous-wave lasing was observed for the first time. Lasing occurs via the ground state at ~1.2μm, with threshold current density of 2.1kA/cm[superscript 2] and maximum output power of 16mW. These results are significantly better than previously reported values for this quantum-dot system.

Introducción: El diagnóstico de osteomielitis esternal post-esternotomía resulta difícil empleando síntomas clínicos o de laboratorio y las imágenes morfológicas orientan a sospecha más que al diagnóstico. Un diagnóstico precoz ofrece calidad de vida y el mejor tratamiento para reducir una mortalidad que oscila entre 14% y 47%. La gammagrafía con leucocitos marcados ofrece el mejor rendimiento diagnóstico para infecciones y se destaca como el patrón de oro diagnóstico. Objetivo: Identificar el desempeño y utilidad de la gammagrafía con leucocitos autólogos marcados con 99mTc-HMPAO en los estudios realizados para la evaluación de osteomielitis esternal. Materiales y métodos: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo, retrospectivo de prueba diagnóstica en la Fundación Cardioinfantil de Bogotá entre enero/2010 y mayo/2015 evaluando gammagrafías con leucocitos marcados ante la sospecha de osteomielitis posterior a esternotomía. Resultados: Se evaluaron 52 pacientes, en los que la gammagrafía con leucocitos mostró 23 pacientes (44,2%) con osteomielitis esternal, logrando una sensibilidad y especificidad del 88,46% y 100% respectivamente. El valor predictivo positivo fue de 100%, y el valor predictivo negativo fue de 89,66%. El impacto de una prueba negativa no modificó el manejo médico inicial en el 93% de los casos mientras que una prueba positiva lo modificó en el 83%. Conclusiones: La gammagrafía con leucocitos autólogos radiomarcados con 99mTc-HMPAO continúa siendo el patrón de oro de referencia no invasiva para el diagnóstico de osteomielitis, y en el caso de osteomielitis esternal se convierte en la prueba de elección pertinente en la selección de pacientes que ameritan una re-intervención quirúrgica.

A series of InxAl1-xAs samples (0.51≪x≪0.55)coherently grown on InP was studied in order to measure the band-gap energy of the lattice matched composition. As the substrate is opaque to the relevant photon energies, a method is developed to calculate the optical absorption coefficient from the photoluminescence excitation spectra. The effect of strain on the band-gap energy has been taken into account. For x=0.532, at 14 K we have obtained Eg0=1549±6 meV
