Disorder effect in graphene and topological insulator
(2012-07)
Scope and Method of Study:
Study of secondary neutrons from uniform scanning proton beams by means of experiment and simulation
(2013-07)
Proton radiotherapy is becoming popular as an effective modality to treat cancer. However the advantages of the proton radiotherapy could be offset due to the effect of secondary neutrons. Secondary neutrons are an undesired ...
Cavity-enhanced evanescent-wave chemical sensing using microresonators
(2006-12)
Scope and Method of Study: The purpose of this research was to examine fused silica microresonators into which light was evanescently coupled into whispering-gallery modes (WGMs) using a tapered optical fiber. The high ...
Dynamics of kicked laser cooled rubidium atoms
(2006-07)
Scope and Method of Study: The purpose of this research was to use laser cooling techniques to cool a sample of rubidium 87 atoms and pulse the cold atoms with an off-resonant standing wave of light. Among the objectives ...
New ideas in Higgs physics
(2010-05)
The Higgs mechanism, which is responsible for electroweak symmetry breaking and unitarization of massive W plus or minus and Z scattering, is a fundamental ingredient of the Standard Model (SM). However, there is as yet ...
Structural dynamics of photoactive yellow protein
(2013-07)
Photoactive yellow protein (PYP) is a blue light photoreceptor protein. PYP is a structural prototype of the PAS domain superfamily of regulating and signaling proteins. Upon absorption of a blue light photon, PYP exhibits ...
Space radiation dosimetry: An optically stimulated luminescence radiation detector for low-earth orbit
(2004-12)
Scope and Method of Study: The purpose of this study was to investigate Al2O3:C as a potential optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) radiation detector for Low-Earth Orbit. The OSL response of Al2O3:C was characterized ...
Charge and spin transport in complex systems associated with spintronics
(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 ...
