In this dissertation we study the dynamic Franz-Keldysh effect (DFKE) in GaAs. We observe the salient features of DFKE viz., below bandgap absorption and oscillations above the band gap, in our experiments. We also report ...

The 6.1-Angstrom (A) family of III-V semiconductors---InAs, GaSb, and AlSb and their alloys and heterostructures---has unique properties that may find application in next generation multi-functional semiconductor devices. ...

The intersection of silicon technology with the rapidly growing field of nanoplasmonics, provides a fertile ground for development of synergistic technologies. The optical and electrical properties of silicon are well ...

This thesis describes a Magneto-Optical Kerr Effect (MOKE) and Magnetic Circular Dichroism (MCD) study of ferromagnetism in III-V magnetic semiconductor heterostructures. This work was initiated due to the much recent ...
