    Quasi-static and dynamic deformation behaviour of Zr-based bulk metallic glass
    (Milton Park : Taylor & Francis, 2013) Nekouie, V.; Kühn, U.; Roy, A.; Silberschmidt, V.
    Nano- and micro-indentation studies were carried out to characterise a plasticity mechanism through the evolution of localised shear bands that drive material's deformation at sub-micron length scale. Initial deformation of Zr-based bulk metallic glass (BMG) was investigated with nanoindentation tests using a spherical indenter. The indentation cycle reflects an elastic deformation with the yielding load of approx. 3 mN. For designed cycling indentation, hardening and softening phenomena were observed in nano- and micro-indentations, respectively. High-precision dynamic mechanical relaxation measurements were performed using a Dynamic Mechanical Analyzer (DMA), on decreasing frequency from 160 Hz to 0.1 Hz. A mechanical response of the BMG surface to a concentrated impact load was also studied. The obtained results indicated that the studied Zr-based BMG behaved as an elastic-perfectly plastic material at macroscale with discrete plasticity events at smaller length scales.

    Towards a life-time-limited 8-octave-infrared photoconductive germanium detector
    (Bristol : IOP Publ., 2015) Pavlov, S.G.; Deßmann, N.; Pohl, A.; Abrosimov, N.V.; Mittendorff, M.; Winnerl, S.; Zhukavin, R.K; Tsyplenkov, V.V.; Shengurov, D.V.; Shastin, V.N.; Hübers, H.-W.
    Ultrafast, ultra-broad-band photoconductive detector based on heavily doped and highly compensated germanium has been demonstrated. Such a material demonstrates optical sensitivity in the more than 8 octaves, in the infrared, from about 2 mm to about 8 μm. The spectral sensitivity peaks up between 2 THz and 2.5 THz and is slowly reduced towards lower and higher frequencies. The life times of free electrons/holes measured by a pump-probe technique approach a few tenths of picoseconds and remain almost independent on the optical input intensity and on the temperature of a detector in the operation range. During operation, a detector is cooled down to liquid helium temperature but has been approved to detect, with a reduced sensitivity, up to liquid nitrogen temperature. The response time is shorter than 200 ps that is significantly faster than previously reported times.

    Terahertz emission from lithium doped silicon under continuous wave interband optical excitation
    (Bristol : IOP Publ., 2015) Andrianov, A.V.; Zakhar'in, A.O.; Zhukavin, R.K.; Shastin, V.N.; Abrosimov, N.V.
    We report on experimental observation and study of terahertz emission from lithium doped silicon crystals under continuous wave band-to-band optical excitation. It is shown that radiative transitions of electrons from 2P excited states of lithium donor to the 1S(A1) donor ground state prevail in the emission spectrum. The terahertz emission occurs due to capture of nonequilibrium electrons to charged donors, which in turn are generated in the crystal as a result of impurity assisted electron-hole recombination. Besides the intracentre radiative transitions the terahertz emission spectrum exhibits also features at about 12.7 and 15.27 meV, which could be related to intraexciton transitions and transitions from the continuum to the free exciton ground state.
