Photodetection using ultrathin metal films
… be overcome by exploiting resonant absorption in ultrathin metal films (< 20 nm). Our approach paves the way to implement scalable, lithography-free, and low-cost silicon-based optoelectronics beyond the material bandgap. Light absorption in metal films can excite hot carriers, which are useful …

Quantum Electronic Effects in Ultrathin Metal Films on Semiconductors
As the size of a metallic system approaches the atomic scale, deviations from the bulk are expected in a plethora of different physical properties due to quantum size effects. In this work, two of these effects are investigated in detail: the structural distortions that arise due to quantum …

X -Ray Studies of Metal Thin Film Growth on Semiconductors
… for an investigation of the structure of Ag films deposited in situ on Ge(111) over the thickness range of 3--15 monolayers. The films deposited at a substrate temperature of 110 K are not well ordered, but become well ordered upon annealing, as evidenced by substantial changes in the x-ray …

Strengthening of metals using a graphene monolayer
… These requirements equally hold for polymer and metal matrices, and enable the use of graphene in applications ranging from tough thin films for use in flexible electronics to the design of advanced aerospace structures. My dissertation addresses the synthesis, understanding and control of these …

Current-induced torque driven ferromagnetic resonance in magnetic microstructures
… to study other ferromagnetic systems such as ultrathin metal films. Finally, the CIT-FMR technique is employed to study the magnetic anisotropy in individual (Ga,Mn)As and (Ga,Mn)(As,P) micro-devices. Devices down to 80 nm in width have been measured in (Ga,Mn)(As,P), which show strong …
