A-Species
Hausmann, Erin (2023-05-12)We introduce a generalized notion of combinatorial species called $A$-species, where $A$ is a Hopf algebra. The role played by the symmetric group, $S_n$, in the classical theory of species is now replaced with the wreath ... -
ACTIVE GALACTIC NUCLEI IN THE ULTRAVIOLET SPECTRUM
Cooper, Erin (2016-05-13)Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN) produce rich, luminescent spectra across the electro- magnetic spectrum. This work focuses on topics in the ultraviolet region, where lie the broad absorption line outflows innate to Broad ... -
Applications of Diatomic Molecules
Coker, James (2015-05-08)I present a study and application of diatomic molecules to various uses in the laboratory. It begins with an experiment to trap ultracold nitric oxide, then proceeds to multiple experiments where tellurium is utilized to ... -
Cascade Reactions to Access Bioactive Scaffolds
Schlitzer, Steven (2020-07-16)In the recent decade there has been a shift in drug development to favor planar, aromatic small molecules with easy synthetic access, despite centuries of research in bioactive natural products, which are often highly ... -
DETECTION OF "TRILOBITE" AND "BUTTERFLY" RYDBERG MOLECULES IN CESIUM WITH KILODEBYE DIPOLE MOMENTS
Booth, Donald (2015-04-06)The detection and characterization of two classes of ultralong-range Rydberg molecules known as "trilobite" and "butterfly" molecules is presented. These molecules are a subset of a class of Rydberg molecules which ... -
Electromagnetically Induced transparency with Laguerre-Gaussian laser modes in ultracold rubidium
Akin, Thomas (2015-05)We demonstrate electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) using lasers in the Laguerre- Gaussian mode. The probe transmission is studied in an ultracold gas for the D2 line in both 85Rb and 87Rb. We consider the Lambda ... -
Feshbach Optimized Photoassociation of Rubidium Dimers
Krzyzewski, Sean (2015-05)We report the observation of three different Feshbach optimized photoassociation resonances. The observations are in agreement with theoretical predictions and prior experimental results except for the width of the ... -
Intervalley Scattering in III-V Heterostructures and its Application to Valley Photovoltaic Hot Carrier Solar Cells
Dorman, Kyle (2022-12-16)The efficiency limit of 33% for a single gap solar cell is not fundamental. Mitigation of thermalization losses which occur when high energy ‘hot’ carriers are only extracted at the same energy as low energy carriers is a ... -
MULTIPLE-STAGE INTERBAND CASCADE PHOTOVOLTAIC DEVICES USING 6.1 Å SEMICONDUCTOR MATERIALS
Hinkey, Robert (2013-12-13)Interband cascade photovoltaic (IC PV) structures are an attractive alternative to the conventional long-absorber diode structures currently used for mid-infrared photovoltaic devices. The unique feature of IC PV devices ... -
Non-LTI Antenna Design and Modeling Techniques
Bass, Stephen (2022-05-13)Nearly all contemporary antenna systems are Linear Time-Invariant (LTI) devices, and allow for assumptions of frequency independence and reciprocity, but are governed by strict bounds on their performance. Recently, nonlinear ... -
Quantum dots for Photovoltaic Applications
Cheng, Yang (2017-11)During the past century, impacts of climate change on both natural and human systems have been observed worldwide. Numerous scientific investigations suggest a strong correlation between the global warming and greenhouse ... -
Quantum Plasmonic Sensing Using Squeezed Light
Dowran, Mohammadjavad (2021-08-05)Quantum sensing is an emerging field of quantum optics that seeks to take advantage of quantum correlations available in quantum states of light to enable sensitivities beyond the fundamental classical limits. The sensitivity ... -
SEARCH FOR SUPERSYMMETRY IN FINAL STATES WITH TWO SAME SIGN LEPTONS OR THREE LEPTONS AND JETS WITH THE ATLAS DETECTOR AT THE LHC
Rifki, Othmane (2017-07-07)The Standard Model of particle physics is the culmination of decades of experimental and theoretical advancements to successfully describe the elementary particles and their interactions at low energies, up to 100 GeV. ... -
Two-boundary centralizer algebras for q(n)
Zhu, Jieru (2018-08)We define the degenerate two boundary affine Hecke-Clifford algebra $\mathcal{H}_d$, and show it admits a well-defined $\mathfrak{q}(n)$-linear action on the tensor space $M\otimes N\otimes V^{\otimes d}$, where $V$ is the ...
