Modern nanotechnology allows one to scale down various important devices (sensors,
chips, fibers, etc.) and thus opens up new horizons for their applications. The efficiency of …

The coherent optical response of semiconductors has been the subject of substantial
research over the last couple of decades. The interest has been motivated by unique …

The updated and enlarged new edition of this book provides an introduction to and an
overview of semiconductor optics from the IR through the visible to the UV. It includes …

The Fano effect is ubiquitous in the spectroscopy of, for instance, atoms,, bulk solids, and
semiconductor heterostructures,,. It arises when quantum interference takes place between …

We report the complex dielectric function of the quasi-one-dimensional chalcogenide Ta 2
NiSe 5, which undergoes a structural phase transition presumably associated with exciton …

Fano resonances in plasmonic nanostructures, characterized by their asymmetric resonance
spectral profile, are currently attracting much interest due to their potential applications in …

We develop a quantum theory of the field-tunable nonlinear Fano effect in the hybrid metal-
semiconductor nanostructures, in which the plasmon (semicontinuous collective intraband …

Size-dependent asymmetric low-frequency Raman line shapes have been observed from
silicon (Si) nanostructures (NSs) due to a quantum confinement effect. The acoustic …

Low-dimensional semiconductors have become a vital part of today's semiconductor
physics, and excitons in these systems are ideal objects that bring textbook quantum …

Quantum size effects on interferons (electron–phonon bound states), confined in fractal
silicon (Si) nanostructures (NSs), have been studied by using Raman spectromicroscopy. A …
