MOLECULAR BEAM EPITAXY OF ANTIMONY QUANTUM WELLS FOR PROBING TOPOLOGICAL SURFACE STATES
(2017)
A topoelectronic transition was predicted for an Sb quantum well (QW) as a function of QW thickness. Bulk Sb is a semimetal with a negative bandgap, with neither the conduction band minimum nor the valence band maximum at ...
Search for vector-like quarks and dark matter in mono-top events in proton-proton collisions with the ATLAS detector
(2019-05-10)
This dissertation describes a search for events with one top-quark and large
missing transverse momentum in the final state. Data collected during
2015 and 2016 by the ATLAS experiment from 13 TeV proton-proton collisions ...
Quantum Reactive Scattering: Collision Induced Dissociation
(2010)
A new method of generating basis functions for reactive and collision-induced dissociation
Time-Dependent Quantum Reactive Scattering in Hyperspherical Coordinates
(2013)
We present a time-dependent hyperspherical, wave packet method for calculating three atom state-to-state S-matrix elements.
Co-Spatial UV-Optical HST/STIS Spectra of Seven Galactic Planetary Nebulae: Nebular and Stellar Properties
(2017)
This project had two main goals: (1) to investigate to what extent planetary nebulae (PNe) are chemically homogeneous; and (2) to provide physical constraints on the central star properties of each PN. The first goal was ...
OBSERVATION OF SINGLE TOP QUARK WITH ASSOCIATED Z BOSON PRODUCTION AT THE LARGE HADRON COLLIDER USING THE ATLAS DETECTOR
(2019)
The Standard Model of particle physics is the most well tested theory in modern physics.
It provides the most fundamental description of the natural world using only a handful of particles and their interactions.
At ...
Supersymmetry and the Prisoner of Naturalness
(2017-07-27)
In this work, I will address three concerns of supersymmetry. The first is the notion of naturalness and how much fine-tuning exists in a model. Historical measures, ∆ HS and ∆ BG , have led to an over estimate of the ...
TYPE-II QUANTUM WELL HOT CARRIER SOLAR CELLS
(2018-12-14)
Hot carrier solar cells are a third generation photovoltaic technology, which aims to increase power conversion efficiency of solar cells beyond the fundamental Shockley-Queisser limit (33%). A major source of loss in ...
TRANSPORT AND SPECTROSCOPIC STUDIES OF LIQUID AND POLYMER ELECTROLYTES
(2012)
Liquid and polymer electrolytes are interesting and important materials to study as they are used in Li rechargeable batteries and other electrochemical devices. It is essential to investigate the fundamental properties ...
Time dependent radiative transfer: Application on core collapse SNe and cosmic recombination
(2010)
I have conducted my PhD dissertation research at the department of Physics and As-
