Determining the effective predictors of performance in a second semester algebra-based physics course
(2008-12)
Scope and Method of Study: This study investigated the significant predictors of exam performance in a second semester algebra-based Physics course. The predictors included course components, ability variables, and behavioral ...
Assessing the effectiveness of the HBL pedagogy
(2005-12)
Scope and Method of Study: An exploratory set of studies was conducted to compare the effectiveness of the HBL and PBI pedagogies. During two different semesters (fall 2003 and spring 2004), 83 Oklahoma State University ...
Theoretical studies of excited state electron transfer between iron-porphyrin and trinitrotoluene
(2006-12)
Scope and Method of Study: The purpose of this study was to find and better understand the degradation of trinitrotoluene (TNT) by way of the photocatalyst iron-tetraphenyl-porphyrin-sulfonate (FeTPPS) by looking at a ...
Characterization and modeling of relative luminescence efficiency of optically stimulated luminescence detectors exposed to heavy charged particles
(2007-10)
Scope and Method of Study: This work investigates the optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) response of carbon-doped aluminum oxide Al2O3:C detectors exposed to heavy charged particles (HCPs) with energies relevant to ...
Quantum interference and decoherence effects in novel systems
(2009-12)
In this thesis we studied quantum interference and decoherence effects in systems like atoms, ions, quantum dots and photonic waveguides. These systems are presently widely studied in different areas of quantum optics and ...
2D TEM-mode THz quasioptics
(2005-05)
Scope of Study: The purpose of this study was to develop a two-dimensional wave guiding structure incorporating quasioptical mirrors, lenses, diffractive elements, sources and detectors for ultrafast pulses of THz radiation. ...
Quantum imaging and sensing with entangled photons
(2008-07)
This dissertation contains new theoretical work on how to utilize the entangled photons produced in a parametric down conversion to improve resolution and sensitivity in quantum interferometry, magnetometry and lithography. ...
