"Plasmon-unterstützte Verstärkung der Empfindlichkeit von Biosensoren"

The ability to quickly and reliably detect minute concentrations of a toxin or specific molecule in a liquid sample is of great importance in medicine, pollution control and industry.
"Ultimative Grenzen der außergewöhnlichen Transmissionsverstärkung"
Image: Prof. Dr. Ulf PeschelBachelor's/Master's Thesis "Ultimate limits of extraordinary transmission amplification"
Extraordinary optical transmission (EOT) amplification refers to the ability of nanometer-sized hole patterns in metallic substrates to transmit light at wavelengths significantly larger than the holes. At true nanometer scales, effects beyond classical electrodynamics become important, in particular, the finite shape of the wave function of electrons in the metal.
"Raue Oberflächen und Zufallsverteilungen von Partikeln in photonischen Bauelementen"
Image: Prof. Dr. Ulf PeschelBachelor/Master Thesis "Rough Surfaces and Random Particle Distribution in Photonic Devices"
The fabrication of random nanoparticle distributions is often cheaper and faster than regular surface patterning techniques and can be achieved by both physical and chemical methods. In terms of theoretical modeling, these present a particular challenge.
"Lichtausbreitung auf zweidimensionalen Gittern"
Image: Prof. Dr. Ulf PeschelBachelor/Master Thesis "Light Propagation on Two-Dimensional Gratings"
Within the scope of the thesis, simulations and calculations on linear and nonlinear light propagation on two-dimensional gratings are to be carried out. The work is to serve as a theoretical foundation for an experimental implementation in the form of an optical fiber setup. Accordingly, experimental investigation of the predicted phenomena would also be possible at a later stage.
"Polaritonische Effekte in der Exciton-Photon Basis"
Image: Prof. Dr. Ulf PeschelMaster thesis "Polaritonic effects in the exciton-photon basis"
The project aims at both progress in the fundamental understanding of light-matter interaction and future interpretation of corresponding experiments. The concrete objective is the implementation of the purely local exciton-exciton interaction in an existing simulation software. If successful, the work will be pursued as part of a PhD thesis.
"ZnO nanowire lasers"
Image: Prof. Dr. Ulf PeschelMaster thesis "ZnO nanowire lasers"
The master project offered in the solid state theory group serves as theoretical support for the experiments on nanowires performed in the groups of Prof. Spielmann and Prof. Ronning. The student will become familiar with time-dependent density functional theory and perform ab initio calculations of the excitations and dynamics of electrons in ZnO nanowires.
"Quanten-Vielkörpertheorie"
Image: Prof. Dr. Ulf PeschelBachelor / Master Thesis "Quantum Many-Body Theory"
Do you enjoy solving complex problems in quantum mechanics? Do you want to get familiar with Green's functions, operators in second quantization as well as Feynman diagrams and at the same time get close to applications and experiments?
Then come and talk to us! We offer you a bachelor or master project in the field of quantum many-body theory in solid state physics.
