  • Quantum Dot Structures in the Ingaas System Investigated by TEM Techniques
    Cryst. Res. Technol. 35 2000 6–7 759–768 P. WERNER, K. SCHEERSCHMIDT , N. D. ZAKHAROV, R. HILLEBRAND, M. GRUNDMANN*, R. SCHNEIDER** Max-Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics, Halle / Saale, Germany *Technical University of Berlin, Berlin, Germany **Humboldt University of Berlin, Germany Quantum Dot Structures in the InGaAs System Investigated by TEM Techniques Dedicated to Prof. Dr. J. Heydenreich on the occasion of his 70th birthday Quantum dot structures have gained increasing interest in materials science due to their special electrical and optical behavior. A combination of electron-optical techniques is applied to correlate such properties with the morphology and structure of quantum dots in the InGaAs system. TEM techniques, e.g. imaging by conventional diffraction contrast, by high-resolution TEM and by energy filtering (EFTEM) are focused on the determination of parameters, like shape and size of islands, their chemical composition and the complex lattice strain fields. An image contrast analysis in terms of shape and strain demands the application of image simulation techniques based on the dynamical theory and on structure models refined by molecular dynamics or molecular static energy minimization. Keywords: : quantum dots, InGaAs, Transmission Electron Microscopy, crystal structure (Received May 4, 2000; Accepted July 1, 2000) 1. Introduction The investigation of semiconducting nanostructures is especially focused on the properties of so-called quantum dots (QD), which are embedded in a different semiconducting bulk or in other materials. The possibility of arranging such particles or ”dots” into complex arrays implies many opportunities for scientific investigations and technological applications. Over the last 10 years, various ways have been applied successfully to create semiconductor particles of several 10 nm in size, evidencing special properties to be different from the bulk behavior (for an overview see, e.g., MRS Bulletin).

We present results of numerical modeling and July paleo temperatures based on identified land snail assemblages from loess sequences. Those two approaches are, moreover, compared with more widely used proxy data for loess sections, such as environmental magnetism, grain size, and geochemical indices. The results show that the July malacopaleothermometer provides relatively high July temperatures comparable to present day conditions, indicating consistently higher summer air temperatures than reconstructions based on numerical modeling experiments for the LGM in the Southeastern Carpathian Basin. Numerical modeling experiments related to six different models used in this study show 6.2 °C to 2.5 °C colder July air temperatures than recently measured equivalent temperatures.

  • Thuringia.Com
    www.thats-thuringia.com That’s Thuringia. Ladies and Gentlemen, Thuringia is the region where successful collaboration between entrepreneurs and researchers goes back centuries. Looking to the future has been a long-standing tradition here. Just take Carl Zeiss, Ernst Abbe, and Otto Schott, who joined forces in Jena to lay the foundations for the modern optics industry and for a productive partnership between business and science. It’s a success story that the entrepreneurs and scientists in our Free State are continuing to write to this very day. And in the process, our producers and services providers can draw upon a multifaceted research environment which currently comprises no less than nine universities and universities of applied sciences, a total of 14 institutions run by the Fraunhofer, Leibniz, Max-Planck, and Helmholtz scientific societies, as well as eight research institutions with close ties to the economy. It’s the variety and the optimal mix of locational advantages that makes Thuringia so attractive for investors from all over the world. The central location of our Land at the heart of Germany will soon become even more of an advantage thanks to the new ICE high-speed train junction in Erfurt, which will significantly reduce travelling time to Berlin, Munich, and Frankfurt am Main. International companies seeking to locate to Thuringia can choose from our many top-notch industrial sites, which are situated along major highways and also include large-scale locations for those investors in need of more space. By now, Thuringia has surpassed Baden-Württem- berg as the Federal Land within Germany with the highest number of industrial operations per 100,000 inhabitants.

It is a follow-up to the rst TANGR workshop, TANGR2012, which was held at the Argonne National Laboratory, Argonne, USA, in June 2012. It is organized in response to recent technical advances and new applications of Atom Trap Trace Analysis (ATTA), an analytical method for measuring the isotopes 81Kr, 85Kr, and 39Ar. The primary aim of the workshop is to discuss the technical progress of ATTA and thereby enable innovative and timely applications of the noble gas radionuclides to important scientic problems in earth and environmental sciences, e.g. in the elds of groundwater hydrology, glaciology, oceanography, and paleoclimatology.
