The spectroscopic properties of Cr3+-doped sapphire and Ti3+-doped sapphire fibers are reported. Tensile stress produces blue shifts of the R lines and changes in their radiative lifetimes and integrated intensities which can be correlated to stress-induced changes of the crystal-field parameters in a Cr3+-doped sapphire fiber. A net red shift of the zero phonon fluorescence line of 2Eg state and a decrease of the splittings of 2T2g state with uniaxial stress are observed in a Ti3+-doped sapphire. In excitation spectra the two peaks from the 2Eg state are shifted to the blue with different rates. The changes are attributed to the stress-induced changes of crystal field and Jahn-Teller effect.

We investigated theoretically the magnetic field dependence of the quantum optical transition of qusi 2-Dimensional Landau splitting system, in GaN and ZnO. We apply the Quantum Transport theory (QTR) to the system in the confinement of electrons by square well confinement potential. We use the projected Liouville equation method with Equilibrium Average Projection Scheme (EAPS). Through the analysis of this work, we found the increasing properties of the optical Quantum Transition Line Shapes(QTLSs) which show the absorption power and the Quantum Transition Line Widths(QTLWs) with the magnetic-field in GaN and ZnO. We also found that QTLW, ${\gamma}(B)_{total}$ of GaN < ${\gamma}(B)_{total}$ of ZnO in the magnetic field region B < 25 Tesla.

For more than five decades, silicon has dominated the semiconductor industry that supports memory devices, ICs, photovoltaic devices, etc. Photoluminescence (PL) is an attractive silicon characterization technique because it is contactless and provides information on bulk impurities, defects, surface states, optical properties, and doping concentration. It can provide high resolution spectra, generally with the sample at low temperature and room-temperature spectra. The photoluminescence properties of silicon at low temperature are reviewed and discussed in this study. In this paper, silicon bulk PL spectra are shown in multiple peak positions at low temperature. They correspond with various impurities such as In, Al, and Be, phonon interactions, for example, acoustical phonons and optical phonons, different exciton binding energies for boron and phosphorus, dislocation related PL emission peak lines, and oxygen related thermal donor PL emissions.

Display에 사용되는 투명전극의 경우, 가시광 영역에서의 투과도는 중요한 요소 중의 하나이다. 투명 전도막의 광흡수, 반사 및 투과즉성은 박막 내에 존재하는 전공밴드의 전자, 자유전자, polar optical phonon 등의 빛과의 반응에 의해 결정된다고 알려져 있다. 많은 연구결과를 통해 투과 및 반사특성은 알려져 있으나, 가시광 영역내의 흡광특성에 관해서는 밝혀진 연구결과가 많지 않다. 본 연구에서는 ITO 박막의 투과도와 흡광도의 상호관계를 규명하였다.

Structure and optical properties of ZnO epilayers grown on oxygen- and hydrogen-plasma treated sapphire substrates by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy (denoted as samples A and B, respectively) have been investigated by various techniques. The crystal quality and structural properties of the surface for the ZnO epilayers were investigated by high-resolution X-ray diffraction and atomic force microscope. For investigating the optical properties of excitonic transition of ZnO, we carried out photoluminescence experiments as a function of temperature. The free exciton, bound exciton emission and their phonon replicas were investigated as a function of temperature from 10 to 300 K, and the intensity of excitonic PL peak emission from the sample A is found to be higher than that of sample B. From the results, we found that sample A has better crystal structure quality and optical properties as compared to sample B. The number of oxygen vacancies may be decreased in sample A, resulting in an enhancement of the crystal quality and a higher intensity of excitonic emission band as compared to sample B.

Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy has been used to study the optical properties of $Pr^{3+}-doped$ selenide glasses. The complex refractive indexes of $Pr^{3+}-selenide$ glasses were measured in a frequency range from 0.3 to 1.5 THz. The real and imaginary refractive indexes increased with increasing frequency and $Pr^{3+}$ ion concentration. The obtained result indicated that the phonon modes of the $Pr^{3+}-doped$ selenide glasses shift to lower frequencies with the concentration of $Pr^{3+}$ ions. The theory of far-infrared absorption in amorphous materials was used to analyze the results. The measured data showed that the disorder-induced terahertz absorption increased with increasing $Pr^{3+}$ ion concentration.

A temperature dependent (10K-290K) photoluminescence (PL) study for two differently prepared ZnO thin films (as-grown and O-plasma treated) is presented. Four characteristic peaks were identified for both samples: (i) neutral donor-bound excitons ($D^oX$), (ii) two electron satellites (TES), (iii) phonon replica of $D^oX$ ($D^oX$-1LO), and (iv) donor-acceptor pair transition (DAP). As the sample temperature increased, $D^oX$-1LO and DAP transitions became indistinct. This was accompanied by newly-rising emission of free electron-acceptor transitions (e, $A^o$). The spectral evolution with temperature for as-grown samples also showed the optical emission from free excitons, which became dominant at higher temperatures. Some features related to O-plasma were identified in PL spectra: (i) different positions of TES transitions (28meV lower than $D^oX$ for as-grown samples and 35meV for O-plasma treated samples), (ii) the decrease of spectral intensity in both emissions of $D^oX$ and DAP after O-plasma treatment, and (iii) no noticeable transition from free excitons after the O-plasma treatment.

The physical properties, including magneto-optical and transport ones, of Ni$_2$MnG$_2$ alloy in the martensitic and austenitic states were investigated. The dependence of the temperature coefficient of resistivity on temperature shows kinks at the structural and ferro-para magnetic transitions. Electron-magnon and electron-phonon scattering are analyzed to be the dominant scattering mechanisms of the Ni$_2$MnG$_2$ alloy in the martensitic and austenitic states, respectively. The experimental real parts of the off-diagonal components of the dielectric function present two sharp peaks, one at 1.9 eV and the other at 3.2 eV, and a broad shoulder at 3.5 eV, all are identified by the band-structure calculations. These peak positions are coincident with those in the corresponding optical-conductivity spectrum, which is thought to originate from the single-spin state in Ni$_2$MnG$_2$ alloy.

Electrons and phonons in chalcogenide-based materials play are important factors in the performance of an optical data storage media and thermoelectric devices. However, the fundamental kinetics of carriers in chalcogenide materials remains controversial, and active debate continues over the mechanism responsible for carrier relaxation. In this study, we investigated ultrafast carrier dynamics in an multilayered $\{Sb(3{\AA})/Te(9{\AA})\}n$ thin film during the transition from the amorphous to the crystalline phase using optical pump terahertz probe spectroscopy (OPTP), which permits the relationship between structural phase transition and optical property transitions to be examined. Using THz-TDS, we demonstrated that optical conductance and carrier concentration change as a function of annealing temperature with a contact-free optical technique. Moreover, we observed that the topological surface state (TSS) affects the degree of enhancement of carrier lifetime, which is closely related to the degree of spin-orbit coupling (SOC). The combination of an optical technique and a proposed carrier relaxation mechanism provides a powerful tool for monitoring TSS and SOC. Consequently, the response of the amorphous phase is dominated by an electron-phonon coupling effect, while that of the crystalline structure is controlled by a Dirac surface state and SOC effects. These results are important for understanding the fundamental physics of phase change materials and for optimizing and designing materials with better performance in optoelectronic devices.
