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 ...
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 ...
WEAK ANTI-LOCALIZATION STUDIES OF SPIN-ORBIT COUPLING IN N- AND P-TYPE InSb HETEROSTRUCTURES
(2012)
The effects of spin-orbit interactions (SOIs) on transport properties of InSb/AlInSb heterostructures have been studied experimentally. At low temperatures, the quantum interference gives rise to a quantum correction to ...
NANO INTEGRATED LITHIUM POLYMER ELECTROLYTES BASED ON ANODIC ALUMINUM OXIDE (AAO) TEMPLATES
(2012)
Since their discovery in the 1970s, polymer electrolytes have been actively studied because they have properties important for many device applications. However, even after 40 years, the detailed mechanisms of conductivity ...
Progress Towards Producing and Trapping Cold Nitric Oxide
(2012)
I present the experimental results of a new source of cold molecular production using activated carbon and the design of the necessary apparatus. This new source may eliminate the need for laser ablation loading in buffer ...
Casimir energies of cavities: The geometry question
(2012)
The question of how the Casimir effect relates to a system's geometry is of fundamental interest. In this thesis, we present new results for interior Casimir self-energies of various integrable geometries and show interesting ...
