We have conducted visible pump-THz probe experiments on single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) on quartz substrates. Our results suggest an upper limit to the carrier-lifetime, which is on the order 1.5ps, limited only by the THz pulse duration. These experiments were repeated for ion-implanted, 3-4nm Si nanoclusters in quartz for which the carrier lifetime was also assessed at 1.5ps. THz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) of SWCNTs revealed that the THz pulse peak transmission changed under optical illumination.

Characteristics of nanoscale composites by THz spectroscopy Altan, Hakan; Federici, John F; Lan, Aidong; Grebel, Haim (2004-02-27) We have conducted visible pump-THz probe experiments on single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) deposited on quartz substrates. Our results suggest that the photoexcited nanotubes exhibit localized transport due to Lorentz-type photo-induced localized states. These experiments were repeated for ion-implanted, 3-4nm Si nanoclusters in quartz for which a similar behavior was observed.
Optical and electronic characteristics of single walled carbon nanotubes and silicon nanoclusters by tetrahertz spectroscopy Altan, Hakan; Federici, JF; Lan, AD; Grebel, H (2004-12-01) We have conducted visible pump-THz (THz-terahertz) probe measurements on single wall carbon nanotubes deposited on quartz substrates. Our results suggest that the photoexcited nanotubes exhibit localized transport due to Lorentz-type photoinduced localized states from 0.2 to 0.7 THz. Upon modeling the THz transmission through the photoexcited layer with an effective dielectric constant given by Maxwell-Garnett theory we found that the data are best fit by a broad Lorentz state at 0.5 THz. These experiments ...
Production of High-Performance CdZnTe Crystals Grown by THM for Radiation Detection Applications Ünal, Mustafa; Balbaşı, Özden Başar; Karaman, Mehmet Can; Genç, Ayşe Merve; Parlak, Mehmet; Turan, Raşit (2022-01-01) © 2022, The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society.CdZnTe crystals are the perfect candidate to be used in room temperature x-ray and gamma-ray detection systems. Production of detector-grade crystals, on the other hand, is challenging due to the unique properties of the CdZnTe. CdZnTe crystals are soft-brittle materials and have high ionicity of bonds that makes the growth process challenging. Among several growth techniques, the travelling heater method (THM) is a preferred growth method to obtain high-qual...
Electronic properties of open-ended single wall carbon nanotubes Turker, L; Erkoç, Şakir (2002-01-31) We have investigated the electrostatic, charge and orbital properties of open-ended single-wall carbon nanotubes in zigzag geometry. The calculations were performed by using the AM1-RHF semiempirical molecular orbital method. It has been found that the tubes with smaller radius behave like a metallic solid whereas the tubes with larger radius behave like a metallic hollow cylinder.
Efficient and accurate electromagnetic analysis of three-dimensional nano-optical structures Yazar, Şirin; Sür, Cem Gürkan; Solak, Birol; Eroğlu, Ömer; Altınoklu, Aşkın; Güler, Sadri; Gür, Uğur Meriç; Karaosmanoğlu, Barışcan; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2017-07-08) We present computational analysis of optical nanostructures, including but not limited to frequency-selective surfaces, metamaterials, nanoantennas, nanowires, and photonic crystals. A rigorous implementation based on surface integral equations and the multilevel fast multipole algorithm is developed for the analysis of such three-dimensional complex structures, without resorting to infinity, self-similarity, periodicity or homogeneity assumptions. The developed simulation environment provides accurate anal...
