A complete fs-laser-ablation route to miniaturized single-crystal PMN-PT piezoelectric actuators

Menotti Markovic, Lucia Oberndorfer, Tobias M. Krieger +15

This article presents a novel fabrication route for miniaturized piezoelectric actuators that relies exclusively on processes based on femtosecond (fs) laser ablation. Previous wor…

Single-Particle-Picture Breakdown in laterally weakly confining GaAs Quantum Dots

Daniel Huber, Barbara Ursula Lehner, Diana Csontosová +5

We present a detailed investigation of different excitonic states weakly confined in single GaAs/AlGaAs quantum dots obtained by the Al droplet-etching method. For our analysis we…
