The band structure and carrier dynamics of GaAs, GaAs/GaP and InP semiconductor nanowires is explored using a variety of optical spectroscopy techniques including two newly developed techniques called Photomodulated and Transient Rayleigh scattering spectroscopy. The stress and …

Graphene, a single atomic layer of graphite, has many exciting electronic and mechanical properties. On a fundamental level, the quasi-relativistic behaviour of the charge carriers in graphene arises from the honeycomb-like atomic structure. Deforming the lattice changes the len…
