      Vullum, Per Erik; Nord, Magnus Kristofer; Vatanparast, Maryam; Thomassen, Sedsel Fretheim; Boothroyd, Chris; Holmestad, Randi; Fimland, Bjørn-Ove; Reenaas, Turid Worren (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Geometric phase analysis has been applied to high resolution aberration corrected (scanning) transmission electron microscopy images of InAs/GaAs quantum dot (QD) materials. We show quantitatively how the lattice mismatch ...
    • Silicon Quantum Dots in a Silicon Dioxide Matrix 

      Kleve, Ellen Elisabeth Sommernes (Master thesis, 2011)
      The aim of the master work was to both produce silicon quantum dots in a SiO2 matrix, and to optically characterize them. The main goal of the optical characterization was to find the band gap of the produced quantum dots, ...
    • Spectroscopic Ellipsometry of InAs/(Al)GaAs Quantum Dots for Intermediate Band Solar Cells 

      Drøyli, Maja Bjerke (Master thesis, 2017)
      As a step towards reducing the CO2 emissions to the atmosphere, generating electricity from renewable energy resources instead of fossil fuels is a good contributor. Solar cells convert energy from sunlight directly into ...
    • Spectroscopic Ellipsometry of MoO3-x 

      Waalekalv, Magnus Langøien (Master thesis, 2016)
      Intermediate band solar cells (IBSC) has a great potential to increase the efficiency of solar cells and reduce the costs of the generated electricity. To realize IBSC that contain one or more sub-band gap in the main band ...
