Nanoscale studies of thermal transport: R-matrix theory and thermal transport in strained graphene nanoribbons.
(2011)
The rapid development of nanotechnology has enabled the fabrication of structures much smaller than the mean free path of electrons and phonons. In modern electronics, miniaturization is desired to increase the transistor ...
Measurement of the top quark pair production cross section with a tau lepton in the final state at the center of mass energy of 8 TeV
(2016)
This dissertation presents the measurement of the inclusive cross section of the top quark pair production in the final state of a tau lepton with associated jets. The dataset used in this measurement is collected by the ...
Investigation into molecular beam epitaxial growth and characterization of InGaAs structures and InAs superlattices
(2014-05)
(1) InGaAs quantum wells have been experimentally studied for their potential application in electronic devices. The narrow band gap of InGaAs lead to smaller effective masses for electrons and holes, which results in ...
Various Topics in Type Ia Supernovae
(2019-05-11)
This work takes two approaches to increasing our understanding of type Ia supernovae. The first part uses observations to study their spectral evolution and diversity. The second part uses modeling to investigate a potential ...
Study of the lead monofluoride molecule in preparation of a measurement of the electric dipole moment of the electron
(2010)
The electric dipole moment of the electron (e-EDM) has important consequences in fundamental theories of matter. Since it was first suggested by Purcell and Ramsey in 1950, it has been pursued in large particle accelerators ...
MEASUREMENT OF THE INCLUSIVE ISOLATED PROMPT PHOTON PRODUCTION AT sqrt{s} = 7 TeV WITH THE ATLAS DETECTOR FOR THE 2011 DATASET
(2014-12)
A measurement of the cross section for the inclusive
production of isolated prompt photons in $pp$ collisions at a
center-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s} = 7\TeV$ is presented. The
measurement covers the pseudorapidity ...
Feshbach Optimized Photoassociation of Rubidium Dimers
(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 ...
Higgs Phenomenology in the Standard Model and Beyond at LHC
(2013)
In this dissertation, the discovery potential of neutral Higgs bosons has been discussed respectively in the Standard Model (SM), minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM), and unified supersymmetric models. In the SM, ...
Discovery and Classification of New Circumstellar Disks from the AllWISE Catalog with Disk Detective
(2019)
In its five years since launch, DiskDetective.org has led to many new discoveries in the field of circumstellar disks. In my dissertation, I present two major emphases of the project: statistical characterization of infrared ...
Cosmology of the PQMSSM
(2011)
This work presents the main implications of simultaneously considering the Peccei-Quinn solution
