The authors review the physics of ultrafast dynamics in semiconductors and their
heterostructures, including both the observed experimental phenomena and the theoretical …

The application of femtosecond spectroscopy to the study of ultrafast dynamics in
semiconductor materials and nanostructures is reviewed with particular emphasis on the …

The field of ultrafast spectroscopy of semiconductors and their nanostruc tures continues to
be an active field of research. Exciting new developments have taken place since the first …

Electronic and photonic materials discussed in this handbook are the key elements of
continued scientific and technological advances in the 21st century. The electronic and …

Superlattices and Other Heterostructures deals with optical properties of superlattices and
quantum-well structures with emphasis on phenomena governed by crystal symmetries …

We have used femtosecond optical spectroscopy to study the dynamics of excitons strongly
confined in microcrystallites of the narrow-band-gap semiconductor PbS. The transient …

The study of semiconductor heterostructures started more than forty years ago. In the 1980s
this area of research moved to the forefront of semiconduc tor physics, largely due to …

We report on the first observation of coherent terahertz radiation, tunable from 1.4 to 2.6 THz,
emerging from GaAs/Al 0.3 Ga 0.7 As single quantum wells after the coherent optical …

Coherent propagation of quadrupole polaritons in Cu 2 O is demonstrated by time-resolved
spectroscopy. This manifests itself in a strong distortion of the temporal shape of a …

We demonstrate that transient four-wave mixing with time-resolved detection of the coherent
nonlinear signal allows unambiguous experimental distinction between quantum beats and …
