Title Crystal Structure,Electronic and Optical Properties of Epitaxial Alkaline Earth Niobate Thin Films Author(s) Wan, Dongyang Publication Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2017. Description XVI, 120 p. 73 illus., 41 illus. in color : online resource Abstract Note This impressive thesis offers a comprehensive scientific study of the alkaline earth niobates and describes their nonlinear optical properties for the first time. It explores the crystal structure, electrical properties, optical absorption properties, hot carrier dynamics, nonlinear optical property and strain-induced metal to insulator transition of alkaline earth niobates using advanced experimental techniques. These alkaline earth niobates can have a strong plasmon resonance in the visible range due to their large carrier density, and this unique property gives rise to the emergent phenomenon of photocatalysis and nonlinear optical properties. This series of intrinsic plasmonic materials based on niobates, can be used as a photocatalyst to split water under sunlight, a novel saturable absorber in the high-power ultrashort pulsed laser system, and as a sensor in microelectromechanical systems ISBN,Price 9783319659121 Keyword(s) 1.
