ABSTRACTIn order to obtain a large silicon (Si) grain and to control the location of its boundary in a Si film melting-crystallized by a pulse laser, we have proposed to use periodic thermal distribution spontaneously induced by irradiation of a linearly polarized laser beam. We estimated the suitable amorphous Si (a-Si) thickness taking account of multiple reflection theoretically and confirmed it experimentally. Also, we proposed a novel technique to reduce the irradiation pulse number to control the grain boundary location stably in the crystallized Si film, in which the elastic wave was generated on the surface of a-Si film prior to melting-crystallization by using an ultra sonic oscillator. Owing to this technique, we can control the grain boundary location periodically with only 1 pulse irradiation in the crystallized Si film.

Abstract Relativistic and ponderomotive nonlinearities arising by the passage of a linearly polarized laser beam through a partially stripped magnetized quantum plasma are analyzed. The interaction formalism has been developed using the recently developed quantum hydrodynamic model. The effects associated with the Fermi pressure, quantum Bohm potential and electron spin have been incorporated. A nonparaxial, non-linear wave equation has been obtained by the use of source dependent expansion technique and spot size has been evaluated. The nonlinear relativistic self-focusing tends to focus the beam while the ponderomotive nonlinearity tends to defocus. The effect of magnetization and quantum effects on the spot size and the beam power have been studied.

ABSTRACTAn experimental technique has been developed to study the electrical properties of semiconductor grain boundaries (GBs) by a focused laser beam. The laser beam is trained on a GB while the photoconductivity of the sample is measured. Both the steady-state and transient signals are recorded as functions of temperature. From these data, we obtain well-defined GB parameters, including the barrier height, interface charge density, trap energy and thermal capture cross-section. This technique allows us to examine localized regions of individual GBs in a semiconductor with multiple grains.

Many natural materials have the ability to rotate the polarization level of linearly polarized laser beam and pass through it. This phenomenon is called optical activity. In the event that a light beam (linearly polarized) passes through an optically active material, such as a quartz crystal, and projected vertically on the optical axis, the output beam will be polarized equatorially, and the vibration level will rotate at a certain angle [1], [2], [3]. A number of crystals, liquids, solutions, and vapors rotate the electric field of linearly polarized light that passes through them [4], [5], [6], [7]. Many different physical effects are applied to optical isotropic and transparent materials that cause them to behave as optical active materials, where they are able to rotate the polarization level of the polarized light linearly and pass through it [8], [9], [10]. These effects include mechanical strength, electric field, and magnetic field. By placing one of these effects on an optically transparent medium, it changes the behavior of the light travelling through it [11].
