Baryon Asymmetry of the Universe and Neutrino Physics
Bachri, Abdel Ghafour (Oklahoma State University, 2007-07-01)In this thesis I have presented the findings of my research pursued during my Ph.~D. study. The purpose of this thesis was to study different theoretical ideas in high energy physics model building addressed primarily ... -
Calculating band structures for organic semiconductors
DeSilva, Charith (2018-04-20)Band structures are very important in understanding the electronic structure of materials; as a result, a good methodology for finding the band structure for electronic materials is extremely important. Organic materials ... -
Charge and spin transport in complex systems associated with spintronics
Xiong, Ye (2005-12)Scope and Method of Study: The purpose of this study was to explore charge and spin transport in several complex systems associated with spintronics. A distinct conductivity exponent observed at the percolation transition ... -
Computational studies of molybdenum oxide clusters and environmental corrosion of iron and zinc
Soufiani, Ahmad Razzaghi (2014-07)This dissertation describes two creative activities. The first is a computational study of molybdenum oxide clusters and the other is an experimental study of the corrosion of metals. The first effort covers three topics. ... -
Development and demonstration of 2D dosimetry using optically stimulated luminescence from new Al2O3 films for radiotherapy applications
Ahmed, Md Foiez (2016-05)Scope and Method of Study: The goal of this work was to develop and demonstrate a 2D dosimetry system based on the optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) from new Al2O3 films for radiotherapy applications. A 2D laser-scanning ... -
First Principle Computational Studies on Hydrogen Bond Switch in Biological Proton Transfer
Dai, Shuo (Oklahoma State University, 2013-07-01)Proton transfer is fundamental to biological process. However, the factor that controls biological proton transfer in proteins is not clear yet. In our lab, we have developed a proton transfer model based on Photoactive ... -
