Abstract
Investigation of nanostructured and with quantum dots materials is an important and urgent problem of solid state physics. The project objectives consist in: 1) optimization of the thermoelectric efficiency in organic nanostructured crystals with increased electrical conductivity; 2) investigation of dynamics of quantum dot semiconductor lasers under the influence of different types of optical feedbacks; 3) elaboration of recommendations for realization of optimal parameters in practice. Thermoelectric converters have evident advantages with respect to the classical ones, but in present the efficiency of these devices is low and the cost is high. New materials are needed that would have greater possible thermoelectric efficiency. Our previous investigations have permitted us to prepare and to win in a strong competition two scientific international projects: STCU 5344 (2012-2014) and FP7 (2013-2015) together with several foreign scientific teams. Now the necessity has appeared to investigate the thermoelectric efficiency in a most more strongly manner and to optimize her values in the nanostructured organic crystals of p and n type. A more complete physical model for these crystals will be developed. Investigation of lasers with quantum dots will provide a platform for efforts to design devices with properties and performance that are attractive for practical applications in the chaos based communication systems. In particular, the phenomena of chaos and synchronization in quantum dot lasers will be investigated, and the device properties will be compared with those of quantum well and bulk lasers. The most modern methods of theoretical investigation, of modeling and of optimization on computer will be applied. The optimal values of the crystal parameters will be obtained in order to achieve the optimal value of the thermoelectric efficiency. It will be also investigated the influence of optical feedback as its level varies from weak to strong. New photonic integrated circuits will be developed for the realization of chaotic setups of transmitters and receivers. Different types of transmitter/receiver configurations will be investigated in order to enhance the security of transmission of information. The recommendations will be elaborated for implementation of these parameters in practice. The results will serve to prepare three doctor dissertations and one of master and to present for competition new international projects.
