Acoustic phonon dynamics in nanometric multilayers
This thesis presents an experimental and theoretical study of the acoustic phonon dynamics at the nanometric scale, by picosecond acoustic techniques and Raman... -
Hole spin dynamic study in InAs/GaAs quantums dots : optical pumping, relaxat...
The spin of a carrier confined in a semiconductor quantum dot (QD) is an observable highly protected from the environment. It's a promising candidate to be a new... -
Protein conformational changes studied by time-resolved circular dichroïsm
Proteins are the most important macromolecules in the living world. They are in a way the working bees of all the living organisms. They perform many functions such as... -
Ultra-fast Magneto-optics in Au/Co/Au
This manuscript deals with the topic of time-resolved magneto-optical properties of Au/Co/Au. The temporal resolution is sub-picosecond and the layer of cobalt is... -
Setting up of a heterodyne pump-probe bench : application for the imaging wit...
Acoustic waves in the Gigahertz or Terahertz frequency range allow the mechanical characterization of submicronic structures. The generation and the detection of these... -
Study of the dynamics of the excited states in single-walled carbon nanotubes
In this thesis, we have studied the excitonic bound states formation in an ensemble of chirality (6,5) carbon nanotubes in solution. Under intense laser excitation, a...
