The Impact

Controlling the phase distribution of wavefronts using optical metasurfaces has led to interesting optical properties and applications. Here, we explore the control of phase distribution through polar-dielectric metasurfaces composed of doped SiC nanosphere arrays. We investigate the impact of doping concentration on the optical properties of SiC nano-spheres. Our results indicate that increasing the doping of SiC nanoparticles influenced electric dipolar resonances, whereas it did not change the dipolar resonances. Using this concept, we numerically studied the extension of this idea to form metasurface arrays of single, dimer and linear trimers of the doped SiC nano-spheres. Using different doping schemes, we studied the improvement of the reflectivity at frequencies greater than the longitudinal optical phonon frequency.

Raman scattering is an effective tool for the investigation of the strain state of crystalline solids. In this brief review, we show how the analysis of the GaAs-like longitudinal optical phonon frequency allowed to map the strain behavior across interfaces in planar heterostructures consisting of GaAsN wires embedded in GaAsN:H matrices. Moreover, we recently showed how the evolution of the longitudinal optical frequency with increasing H dose strongly depends on polarization geometry. In a specific geometry, we observed a relaxation of the GaAs selection rules. We also present new results which demonstrate how laser irradiation intensity–even at low levels–may affect the line shape of the GaAs-like spectral features in GaAsN hydrogenated materials.

View Point

We investigated the spatial distribution of carrier concentration in n-type 4H-SiC grown by the solution method from the peak frequency of the longitudinal optical phonon-plasmon coupled (LOPC) mode of the Raman spectra on the surface. The carrier concentration at the position of the smooth terrace was higher than the carrier concentration at the position where the macrosteps were formed. This indicates the nitrogen incorporation efficiently occurs on the smooth surface where the density of macrosteps is relatively low. The different incorporation of nitrogen depending on the surface morphology can be understood from the view point of the adsorption time of impurity on the terrace. The present result implies that the uniform surface morphology is necessary to achieve uniform doping concentration in SiC crystal.

Double Heterostructure

The polaronic effect on the hydrogenic 1s–2p+ transition energy of a donor impurity located at the quantum well center in a double heterostructure is studied theoretically in detail. The electron–optical–phonon interaction Hamiltonian is derived on the basis of eigenmodes of lattice vibrations supported by the double heterostructure. Both the confined and interface phonon modes are included in the electron–phonon coupling. The transition energy is calculated as a function of the applied magnetic field for GaAs/Al 1-x Ga x As samples of well -widths d=125 Å, 210 Å and 450 Å by the second-order perturbation. Wide transition gaps are predicted around the two-level and three-level resonances for all three cases. It is found that the transition gap narrows with the increasing well-width but remains larger than the LO and TO phonon frequency difference for d=450 Å as is observed. We also perform the same calculation by assuming that the confined electron interacts with three-dimensional and two-dimensional phonon modes. The transition energy spectra from these calculations appear to be similar to those for a bulk sample, the spectrum splits at the resonance with the longitudinal optical phonon frequency only. From comparisons of our results with these calculations as well as with experiments, it is conclusively established that the wide gap of transition energy is solely due to the interface modes.

Comparison Of The Results

The "nonuniform-field treatment" developed earlier for infinitely thick crystals is applied to the LiF crystal. Comparison with experimental results both at 45° and at small angles of incidence gives good quantitative agreement only when the ratio of the longitudinal optical frequency to the transverse optical frequency is assumed to be 1.7 instead of 2.2 as predicted by the Lyddane–Sach–Teller relation. An extension of the treatment to thin films is presented and the comparison of the results with Berreman's experimental values indicates that the asymmetry and the amplitude of the features which could not be explained before can be predicted in terms of the nonuniform-field treatment, again provided the optical phonon frequency ratio is 1.7.

Host Polymer

In the current study, polymer nanocomposites (NCPs) based on poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) with altered refractive index and absorption edge were synthesized by means of a solution cast technique. The characterization techniques of UV–Vis spectroscopy and XRD were used to inspect the structural and optical properties of the prepared films. The XRD patterns of the doped samples have shown clear amendments in the structural properties of the PVA host polymer. Various optical parameters were studied to get more insights about the influence of CeO2 on optical properties of PVA. On the insertion of CeO2 nanoparticles (NPs) into the PVA matrix, the absorption edge was found to move to reduced photon energy sides. It was concluded that the CeO2 nanoparticles can be used to tune the refractive index (n) of the host polymer, and it reached up to 1.93 for 7 wt.% of CeO2 content. A detailed study of the bandgap (BG) was conducted using two approaches. The outcomes have confirmed the impact of the nanofiller on the BG reduction of the host polymer. The results of the optical BG study highlighted that it is crucial to address the ɛ” parameter during the BG analysis, and it is considered as a useful tool to specify the type of electronic transitions. Finally, the dispersion region of n is conferred in terms of the Wemple–DiDomenico single oscillator model.

Global Carbon

Peatlands play an important role in the global carbon cycle due to the high carbon storage in the substrate. Ecosystem production depends, for example, on the solar energy amount that reaches the vegetation, however the diffuse component of this flux can substantially increase ecosystem net productivity. This phenomenon is observed in different ecosystems, but the study of the atmosphere optical properties on peatland production is lacking. In this paper, the presented methodology allowed us to disentangle the diffuse radiation impact on the net ecosystem production (NEP) of Rzecin peatland, Poland. It allowed us to assess the impact of the atmospheric scattering process determined by the aerosol presence in the air mass. An application of atmospheric radiation transfer (ART) and ecosystem production (EP) models showed that the increase of aerosol optical thickness from 0.09 to 0.17 caused NEP to rise by 3.4–5.7%. An increase of the diffusion index (DI) by 0.1 resulted in an NEP increase of 6.1–42.3%, while a DI decrease of 0.1 determined an NEP reduction of −49.0 to −10.5%. These results show that low peatland vegetation responds to changes in light scattering. This phenomenon should be taken into account when calculating the global CO2 uptake estimation of such ecosystems.
