Molecular Beam Epitaxy of Narrow Gap Quantum Wells: InSb, InGaAs and Elemental Sb
(2013)
In this work the electronic properties of n-type and p-type quantum wells (QWs) made of narrow gap InSb and InGaAs materials have been studied experimentally. The narrower band gap in these materials leads to smaller ...
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 ...
An investigation of the properties of indium antimonide/aluminum(x) indium(1-x) antimonide quantum wells.
(2002)
This work investigates InSb/AlxIn1- xSb quantum wells through the use of Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy. In addition to briefly examining excitonic transitions in undoped square wells, this work covers a ...
Exotic Diatomic Molecules of Cesium
(2012)
The observation of a new, polar class of homonuclear diatomic molecules, called trilobite molecules, is presented. The molecules have permanent electric dipole moments of &sim20-100 Debye. The observations are in agreement ...
Atom chip setup for cold Rydberg atom experiments
(2012)
The design, construction and characterization of an atom chip apparatus for cold Rydberg atom experiments with 87Rb is presented. The apparatus is designed to investigate interactions between Rydberg atoms and the nearby ...
Optimizing Thermal Conductivity in Functionalized Macromolecules
(2012)
The quest for high thermal conductivity materials has lead to nano-composites incorporating macromolecular materials with excellent thermal conductivity, such as carbon nano-tubes and graphene nano-ribbons, in a matrix ...
Synthetic spectrum methods for three dimensional supernova models.
(2003)
This dissertation describes some problems associated with synthesizing emergent spectra from three-dimensional supernova envelope models. We confront these problems by developing a three-dimensional implementation of a ...
