It is suggested that an exciton in the engineered vacuum of a photonic-band-gap-quantum-well heterostructure exhibits electromagnetically induced anomalous quantum dynamics. The exciton is dressed by coherent emission and reabsorption of virtual photons near the photonic band edge and captured in momentum space, lowering its energy by 1-10 meV and lowering its effective mass by 4-5 orders of ma...

the present work deals with the synthesis and characterization of cds nanoparticles with good thermal stability and optical properties by a novel and simple synthetic route. the nanoparticles were synthesized via chemical precipitation method in a single reaction vessel under ambient conditions. the prepared cds nanoparticles were compared with the bulk cds. the optical properties were determin...

copper sulphide (cu 2 s) thin films at different thicknesses and annealing temperatures were deposited onto glass substrate by vacuum evaporation method. xrd study reveals the phase transformation of cu     2 s film at higher thickness. optical and resistivity study show the phase transformation of the film from cu     2 s to cus when they are annealed at higher temperature. sem st...

Bilayer graphene is a highly promising material for electronic and optoelectronic applications since it is supporting massive Dirac fermions with a tunable band gap. However, no consistent picture of the gap's effect on the optical and transport behavior has emerged so far, and it has been proposed that the insulating nature of the gap could be compromised by unavoidable structural defects, by ...

Nanocomposite thin film deposited on copper and glass substrates have been created by utilizing Spray Pyrolysis method. The prec...

We report resonant Raman scattering (RRS) by the TO, LO, and 2 LO modes of single wurtzite and zincblende GaAs nanowires. The optical band gap of wurtzite GaAs is 1.460 eV± 3meV at room temperature, and 35± 3meV larger than the GaAs zinc-blende band gap. Raman measurements using incoming light polarized parallel and perpendicular to the wire c axis allowed us to investigate the splitting of hea...

Band gap opening and modulating are critical in dictating the functionalities of single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) in a broad array of nano-devices. Using first-principles density functional theory calculations, a class of semiconducting armchair SWCNTs with a distinctive BN line defect are studied, showing a super capacity to open the band gap of (4, 4) SWCNT to as large as 0.86 eV, whil...

Anatase TiO2 nanocrystallines (17–29 nm) were successfully synthesized by the metal–organic chemical vapor deposition method (MOCVD). Moderate manipulation of system parameters of MOCVD can control the particle size. The electro-optical and photocatalytic properties of the synthesized TiO2 nanoparticles were studied along with several commercially available ultra-fine TiO2 particles (e.g., 3.8–...

In recent years, graphyne was found to be the only 2D carbon material that has both sp and sp² hybridization. It has received significant attention because of its great potential in the field of optoelectronics, which arises due to its small band gap. In this study, the structural stability, electronic structure, elasticity, thermal conductivity and optical properties of α, β, γ-graphynes were ...

We introduce novel optical solitons that consist of a periodic and a spatially localized component coupled nonlinearly via cross-phase modulation. The spatially localized optical field can be treated as a gap soliton supported by the optically induced nonlinear grating. We find different types of these band-gap composite solitons and demonstrate their dynamical stability.
