We experimentally demonstrate that two coupled metal nanostructures (MNSs), a silver nanowire and bipyramid, can produce similar to 30 times enhanced second harmonic generation compared to the particles alone. We develop a simple theoretical model, presenting the path interference effects in the nonlinear response of coupled MNSs. We show that the reason for such an enhancement can be the occurrence of a Fano resonance due to the coupling of the converter MNS to the long-lived mode of the attached MNS.

Engineering nonlinear response of nanomaterials using Fano resonances Turkpence, Deniz; Akguc, Gursoy B.; Bek, Alpan; Taşgın, Mehmet Emre (IOP Publishing, 2014-10-01) We show that nonlinear optical processes of nanoparticles can be controlled by the presence of interactions with a molecule or a quantum dot. By choosing the appropriate level spacing for the quantum emitter, one can either suppress or enhance the nonlinear frequency conversion. We reveal the underlying mechanism for this effect, which is already observed in recent experiments: (i) suppression occurs simply because transparency induced by Fano resonance does not allow an excitation at the converted frequenc...
Improving the absorption of solar cells using antenna-inspired cavities Karaosmanoğlu, Barışcan; Tuygar, Emre; Topçuoğlu, Ulaş; Ergül, Özgür Salih (Wiley, 2019-08-01) We present new types of nanocavities to improve the absorption of solar cells for energy harvesting in wide frequency ranges of the optical spectrum. Using a full‐wave approach, as opposed to the commonly used ray‐based modeling of the light, antenna‐inspired cavities with horn shapes are proposed and introduced. The effectiveness of the designed cavities is demonstrated in comparison to the conventional textures involving inverted pyramids and nanocones. Highly accurate numerical results show that solar‐ce...
Electronic properties of a large quantum dot at a finite temperature Gulveren, B; Atav, U; Tomak, Mehmet (Elsevier BV, 2005-09-01) The physical properties of a two-dimensional parabolic quantum dot composed of large number of interacting electrons are numerically determined by the Thomas Fermi (TF) method at a finite temperature. Analytical solutions are given for zero temperature for comparative purposes. The exact solution of the TF equation is obtained for the non-interacting system at finite temperatures. The effect of the number of particles and temperature on the properties are investigated both for interacting and non-interactin...
A theoretical study of chemical doping and width effect on zigzag graphene nanoribbons Pekoz, Rengin; Erkoç, Şakir (Elsevier BV, 2009-12-01) The energetics and the electronic properties of nitrogen- and boron-doped graphene nanoribbons with zigzag edges have been investigated using density functional theory calculations. For the optimized geometry configurations, vibrational frequency analysis and wavefunction stability tests have been carried out. Different doping site optimizations for a model nanoribbon have been performed and formation energy values of these sites revealed that zigzag edgesite for both of the dopants were the most favorable ...
Study on the long wavelength SiGe/Si heterojunction internal photoemission infrared photodetectors Aslan, B; Turan, Raşit; Liu, HC (Elsevier BV, 2005-10-01) The theory of internal photoemission in semiconductor heterojunctions has been investigated and the existing model has been extended by incorporating the effect of different effective masses in the active region and the substrate, nonspherical-nonparabolic bands, and the energy loss per collision. Photoresponse measurements on Si1-xGex/Si heterojunction internal photoemission (HIP) infrared photodetectors (IP) have shown that they are fit well by the theory. Qualitative model describing the mechanisms of ph...
