Study of hot carrier dynamics and relaxation in metal halide perovskites
(2023-05)
Metal halide perovskites are a promising class of solution-based semiconductors
with significant potential for optoelectronic devices, including hot carrier solar cells
that are proposed to achieve higher efficiency than ...
CASIMIR EFFECT: QUANTUM FLUCTUATIONS AND THERMAL FLUCTUATIONS
(2020-05-08)
Any phenomenon caused by the nontrivial vacuum state of quantum fields in the presence of boundaries, nontrivial topology, varying background potentials, spacetime curvature, ect, could be referred to as a Casimir effect. ...
Modeling Stellar Surface Features with High-Precision Photometry
(2023)
Starspots are a major source of stellar contamination in transmission spectroscopy of exoplanet atmospheres, and the correction for exoplanet analyses depends on the temperature of the starspots and the covering fraction. ...
Understanding Type Ia Supernova Diversity with PHOENIX
(2022)
Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) are important astrophysical objects. They produce
roughly half of the iron group elements found in the universe, the energy they
release drives the evolution of galaxies, and their high ...
Quantum Plasmonic Sensing Using Squeezed Light
(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 ...
Light Matter Interaction in A Rydberg Blockaded Ensemble
(2022-06-29)
This thesis presents a study of the interactions between two Rydberg atoms and Rydberg atomic ensemble with a monochromatic light field. The first part of the thesis covers the interaction between two Rydberg atoms. The ...
High-precision measurements of alkanethiol self-assembled monolayer structure with scanning tunneling microscopy
(2020)
This thesis describes a measurement methodology and set of tools for measuring scanning tunneling microscope images of crystals at picometer length scales. We use the crystal structure present in high-quality scanning ...
Searching for new physics through gravitational waves
(2021-12-01)
I would first like to express my sincere appreciation and gratitude to my dissertation advisor, Professor Kuver Sinha, whose advice and expertise has led me on a successful path to completing my studies. Thank you for being ...
Disentangling the Formation Pathways of Protostars
(2023-05)
Star formation occurs within dense cores within molecular clouds, often associated with filamentary structures. However, there exist isolated instances of star formation, far from nearby forming stars. As a core collapses, ...
Dwarf galaxies in N-body+SPH simulations
(2023-12)
I present a study of various dwarf galaxies from N-body+SPH simulations in Lambda Cold Dark Matter cosmology. While the science results of this thesis pertain to dwarf galaxies of varying classifications and environments, ...
