Strobel, Esslingen University of Applied Sciences, Department of Basic Sciences, Flandernstr. 101, 73732 Esslingen, Germany, [email protected] Abstract – A computer based laboratory experiment in the physics lab for students of communications engineering, computer engineering and software engineering is described. The aim of the experiment is to bring the students at an early stage into practical contact to modern physics such as semiconductors, wave and quantum optics, and to gain a deeper understanding of the mechanisms of absorption and emission of light by semiconductors. The actual experiment is divided into three parts: After getting acquainted with the experimental set-up by calibrating the spectrometer the students measure the absorption coefficient in gallium phosphide and finally some emission spectra of different LEDs.

Ultraviolet detectors based on annealed zinc oxide thin films: epitaxial growth and physical characterizations
In this report, ultraviolet (UV) detectors were fabricated based on zinc oxide thin films. The epitaxial growth of zinc oxide thin films was carried out on bare glass substrate with preferred orientation to (002) plane of wurtzite structure through radio frequency sputtering technique. The structural properties indicated a dominant peak at 2θ=34.28º which was matched with JCPDS reference card N...
متن کاملCorrelation Between Surface Morphology and Optical Properties of Quasi-Columnar Porous Silicon Nanostructures
In the current work, the effect of surface morphology on light emission property and absorption behavior of quasi-columnar macro-porous silicon (PS) was investigated. PS structures with different morphology were synthesized using photo-electrochemical etching method by applying different etching current densities. SEM micrographs showed that empty macro-pores size and porosity of PS layers were...

Abstract: In this study, using density functional theory and the SIESTA computationalcode, we investigate the electronic and optical properties of the armchair graphenenanoribbons and the armchair boron nitride nanoribbons of width 25 in the presence of atransverse external electric field. We have observed that in the absence of the electricfield, these structures are se...
متن کاملZSM-5 Zeolite As Host Material for Semiconductor Nanoparticles
This work describes the optical and structure properties of nickel sulfide and cobalt sulfide nanoparticles in ZSM-5 zeolite. The samples were obtained by sulfidation of the Ni2+ and Co2+ ion-exchange ZSM-5 zeolites in a Na2S solution at room temperature. The optical properties of the samples were studied by UV-visible spectroscopy. Their crystalline structure and morphology were studied by X-r...
