Operation co-funded by EU cohesion policy (European Social Fund (ESF)) under the programme EU Structural Funds Investments - LT - ERDF/ESF/CF/YEI (2014LT16MAOP001), managing authority: Finansų ministerija. The source names no beneficiary for this operation. Location: Vilnius County (NUTS LT011); Lithuania. Budget: total eligible expenditure EUR 1,770.14; EU co-financing EUR 1,770.14 (co-financing rate 100%), as stated by the source. Runs 2021-07-05 to 2021-08-31.

Summary from Kohesio (English machine translation by the source): Recently, the near-infrared (NIR) spectrum has attracted great attention. The absorption lines of organic molecules in this range make NIR very important in a wide range of areas, such as biomedical, life, climate and environmental sciences, country, public spaces and personal data security. These applications require different systems and matrices that contain components with specific parameters — wavelength and line width, power, dimensions and mass. Specific requirements have shown that for most of these applications, the main components offered on the market — NIR radiation sources and detectors are very inefficient. To address these problems, a new group of A3-B5-Bi family compounds named bismids was created by the principle of material engineering a decade ago. Due to its unique feature — management of the energy gap of reserves by replacing Bi — bismids are among the most promising compounds, especially for applications in the field of close infrared waves. It is very important that bismid compounds are characterised by weak temperature dependence of the reserve band, so sources based on them would work perfectly at room temperature without additional cooling. However, a rather long basic study and attempted application of the bismides showed that technology still poses many challenges. Thus, the proposed project foresees the development of A3-B5-Bi quantum formations — pits and points, systematic technology studies and their adaptation to the development of NIR lights. At work, single and multiple A3-B5-Bi quantum pits will perform the function of diode active media. The aim of the project is to optimise the technology of NIR lights with A3-B5-Bi quantum formations. The summer practice will focus on the 780 nm — 1300 nm spectral segment, and the main applications would be (i) cryptography for data protection and (ii) oxygen, methane and carbon dioxide gas recognition systems for monitoring atmospheric and green home pollution footprints.
