Modelling of polymer-carbon nanotube heterojunctions for photovoltaic applications
(2017-01-31)
Semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (s-SWNT) are promising materialsfor efficient organic photovoltaics (OPVs). Unfortunately, the implementation of s-SWNTs has so far not lead to the expected increase in power ...
Fabrication and near-field characterization of mid-infrared transmission lines
(2017-07-11)
During this thesis, we fabricated infrared (IR) antennas and transmission lines (TLs), and characterizedthem by transmission-mode scattering-type scanning near-field optical microscopy (transmission-mode s-SNOM). By means ...
