The effect of resonances in the photon emission rate in radiative heat generation and transfer, and Casimir friction at the relative sliding of two plates of polar dielectrics is studied. Resonances are of a different origin in the frequency range of the normal (NED) and anomalous (AED) Doppler effect. In the NED domain, resonances are associated with resonant photon tunneling between surface phonon/plasmon polaritons. In the AED domain resonances are associated with the instantaneous generation of excitations in both plates. While in the NED domain the resonances are finite, in the ADE domain singular resonances are possible even in the presence of dissipation in the system.

Abstract Light emission and heat generation of Si devices have become important in understanding physical phenomena in device degradation and breakdown mechanisms. This paper correlates the photon emission with the temperature distribution of a short channel nMOSFET. Investigations have been carried out to localize and characterize the hot spots using a spectroscopic photon emission microscope and a scanning thermal microscope. Frontside investigations have been carried out and are compared and discussed with backside investigations. A method has been developed to register the backside thermal image with the backside illuminated image.

For nanowire-based sources of non-classical light, the rate at which photons are generated and the ability to efficiently collect them are determined by the nanowire geometry. Using selective-area vapour-liquid-solid epitaxy, we show how it is possible to control the nanowire geometry and tailor it to optimise device performance. High efficiency single photon generation with negligible multi-photon emission is demonstrated using a quantum dot embedded in a nanowire having a geometry tailored to optimise both collection efficiency and emission rate.

AbstractHere we report how two-dimensional crystal (2DC) overlayers influence the recrystallization of relatively thick metal films and the subsequent synergetic benefits this provides for coupling surface plasmon-polaritons (SPPs) to photon emission in 2D semiconductors. We show that annealing 2DC/Au films on SiO2 results in a reverse epitaxial process where initially nanocrystalline Au films gain texture, crystallographically orient with the 2D crystal overlayer, and form an oriented porous metallic network (OPEN) structure in which the 2DC can suspend above or coat the inside of the metal pores. Both laser excitation and exciton recombination in the 2DC semiconductor launch propagating SPPs in the OPEN film. Energy in-/out- coupling occurs at metal pore sites, alleviating the need for dielectric spacers between the metal and 2DC layer. At low temperatures, single-photon emitters (SPEs) are present across an OPEN-WSe2 film, and we demonstrate remote SPP-mediated excitation of SPEs at a distance of 17 μm.
