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 ...
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, ...
Cosmology of the PQMSSM
(2011)
This work presents the main implications of simultaneously considering the Peccei-Quinn solution
SCANNING TUNNELING MICROSCOPY STUDIES OF GROWTH MEDIUM & TEMPERATURE DEPENDENT STRUCTURAL PHASES OF ALKANETHIOL SELF-ASSEMBLED MONOLAYERS, REACTIVE SELF-ASSEMBLED MONOLAYERS, & FLAT GOLD NANOPARTICLE/INDIUM TIN OXIDE SUBSTRATES AND A SCANNING SURFAC
(2010)
Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of alkanethiolates on Au(111) represent promising platforms to study the molecular surfaces and interfaces for applications ranging from molecular electronics, nanophotonics to biology. ...
Electromagnetically Induced transparency with Laguerre-Gaussian laser modes in ultracold rubidium
(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 ...
