Mathias Michael Schubert (born 19 October 1966) is a German physicist, [1] J. A. Woollam Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, [2] and member of the Nebraska Center for Materials and Nanoscience. [3] He is a specialist in spectroscopic ellipsometry and has contributed to the development of blue and white LED, fast processors and efficient biological and chemical sensors. [4] [5] [6] He is also visiting professor at Linkoping University and Associate Editor of the journal Applied Physics Letters . [7] [8]

Early life and education

Schubert was born in Jena, Bezirk Gera, East Germany. He graduated high school in 1986 with vocational education as tool and die maker from the Keramische Werke in Hermsdorf. After military service he studied physics at the University of Leipzig until 1994. [9] He received a fellowship from the German Merit Foundation in 1995 for his doctoral research. In 1997 after earning his PhD he moved to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, where he worked on infrared ellipsometry developments for characterization of semiconductors. After return to the University of Leipzig he obtained his habilitation in 2003 in experimental physics.

Research and career

In 2000, Schubert was appointed Assistant Professor (Habilitant, C1) at University of Leipzig, where he founded the Ellipsometry group. [10] In 2005 Schubert was founding member of the German Association of Ellipsometry (Paul Drude e.V.). [11] In 2005 Schubert was appointed associate professor at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, where he founded the Complex Materials Optics Network. [12] In 2012 he became Full professor. [1] Schubert's research focuses on broad spectral range optical characterization of organic and inorganic materials. He invented and developed spectroscopic generalized ellipsometry broadly for characterization of arbitrarily anisotropic materials. [13] His research team invented the optical Hall effect for noncontact measurement of the charge carrier mass in semiconductor materials and thin film heterojunctions. [14] [15] The generalized ellipsometry concept permits analysis of optical properties of materials with all crystal classes, particularly with low symmetry such as orthorhombic, [16] monoclininc, [17] and triclinic. [18] Schubert developed a general concept for modeling the optical properties of low-symmetry materials, the eigendielectric polarization model. [19] In 2022, he demonstrated measurement of the magnetic susceptibility tensor in electron paramagnetic resonance using terahertz ellipsometry [20] and was part of a team describing a new form of coupled phonon photon states in low-symmetry materials. [21] [22] [23] [24] [25] [26]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Polariton</span> Quasiparticles arising from EM wave coupling

In physics, polaritons are quasiparticles resulting from strong coupling of electromagnetic waves with an electric or magnetic dipole-carrying excitation. They are an expression of the common quantum phenomenon known as level repulsion, also known as the avoided crossing principle. Polaritons describe the crossing of the dispersion of light with any interacting resonance. To this extent polaritons can also be thought of as the new normal modes of a given material or structure arising from the strong coupling of the bare modes, which are the photon and the dipolar oscillation. The polariton is a bosonic quasiparticle, and should not be confused with the polaron, which is an electron plus an attached phonon cloud.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Ellipsometry</span> Optical technique for characterizing thin films

Ellipsometry is an optical technique for investigating the dielectric properties of thin films. Ellipsometry measures the change of polarization upon reflection or transmission and compares it to a model.

Polaritonics is an intermediate regime between photonics and sub-microwave electronics. In this regime, signals are carried by an admixture of electromagnetic and lattice vibrational waves known as phonon-polaritons, rather than currents or photons. Since phonon-polaritons propagate with frequencies in the range of hundreds of gigahertz to several terahertz, polaritonics bridges the gap between electronics and photonics. A compelling motivation for polaritonics is the demand for high speed signal processing and linear and nonlinear terahertz spectroscopy. Polaritonics has distinct advantages over electronics, photonics, and traditional terahertz spectroscopy in that it offers the potential for a fully integrated platform that supports terahertz wave generation, guidance, manipulation, and readout in a single patterned material.
