Analysis of measurements and improvements upon the Active Tissue Equivalent Dosimeter
Hayes, Bryan Michael (2020-07)The Oklahoma State University Radiation Physics Lab is nearing completion in the development of a tissue equivalent proportional counter (TEPC), the Active Tissue Equivalent Dosimeter (ATED), to monitor cosmic radiation ... -
Assessing the potential of ZnO surfaces for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis using Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics
DeSilva, Charith R. (2020-12)We investigate the performance of non-polar ZnO surfaces as a catalyst in Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) through Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics. Economic and environmental concerns regarding the future of fuel production ... -
Computational investigation of the effect of spin-crossing on the dissociation of chloro- and dichlorobenzene on the silicon (100) surface and the mechanical and electronic properties of cobalt doped zinc oxide
Butson, Eric Donald (2017-07)The adsorption and dissociation of chlorobenzene and dichlorobenzene on the Si(100) surface was modeled using hydrogen terminated silicon clusters within the density functional theory framework. Using single dimer to much ... -
Gold-silicide eutectic dynamics of mesotextured materials and their optical properties
Dice, Nathan Philip (2022-05)Meso scaled pyramidal and inverse pyramidal structures, hereon referred to as Mesopyramids and Inverse Mesopyramids, are observed on Si[100] post annealing of a tri-layer of gold and silicon thin films. The structures are ... -
Interfacial effects on the chiral domain walls in ultrathin PT/CO/ALOₓ heterostructures for the futuristic spintronics devices
Sankhi, Babu Ram (2023-05)Heavy metal /ferromagnet/metal oxide heterostructures are important due to their immense prospects for establishing spin textures such as chiral domain walls which are the basic ingredient of low power and capacious ... -
Investigation into biodegradability of ionic liquids employing active site models
Banerjee, Atiya (2020-07)Ionic liquids have the potential for driving industrial processes in a sustainable fashion due to their environmentally benign characteristics like inherent low vapor pressure and flammability. Their extremely low vapor ... -
Investigation into the development of a quantitatively based summation conception of the definite integral
Simmons, Courtney R. (2021-07)Research has shown the majority of students who have completed a university calculus course reason about the definite integral primarily in terms of prototypical imagery or in purely algorithmic and non-quantitative ways. ... -
Modeling the ionizing radiation environment in Earth's atmosphere
Inman, Paul Edward (2021-05)The constant bombardment of the Earth by cosmic radiation leads to an atmospheric radiation environment comprised of many species of energetic secondary particle. Aside from carrying out full Monte Carlo simulations from ... -
Molecular dynamics study of protein mortalin and its mutants with anti-cancer agents flex hets
Bhandari, Dipendra (2021-07)Mortalin is a protein that belongs to a family of heat shock proteins (Hsp70) and has been found to be overexpressed in cancer cell lines. Mortalin has been found to interact with tumor suppressor protein p53, thus inhibiting ...
