Carbon-nanotube-reinforced Cu matrix nanocomposites have been fabricated by molecular-
level mixing of functionalized carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with Cu ions, followed by spark …

Whenever a physicist visits the physics faculty in Dortmund, he/she is bound to hear the
success story of the so-called integrated course, a four-semester introduction to physics …

Reflecting changes in the field in the ten years since the publication of the first edition, The
Handbook of Photonics, Second Edition explores recent advances that have affected this …

Semiconductor nanowires and nanoribbons are under intensive study as building blocks for
next-generation nanodevices.[1±7] Much effort has focused on developing nanowires and …

The three volumes of this handbook treat the fundamentals, technology and nanotechnology
of nitride semiconductors with an extraordinary clarity and depth. They present all the …

Colloidal quantum wells, or nanoplatelets, show among the lowest thresholds for amplified
spontaneous emission and lasing among solution-cast materials and among the highest …

We investigated the excitonic or free-carrier nature of lasing in ZnCdSe/ZnSe quantum wells
through stimulated emission measurements in high magnetic field and by pump–probe …

Transient photoluminescence measurements are reported on a thin InGaN single quantum
well, encompassing the high injection regime. The radiative processes that dominate the …

Recent advances in the area of ZnSe-based blue-green laser diodes are reviewed. We will
discuss the solutions to some long-standing problems which for many years stood in the way …

By optical gain spectroscopy we have studied the fundamental laser properties of
GaInN/GaN heterostructures grown on sapphire. Utilizing the stripe excitation method we …
