High-Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy Analysis of Nanostructures
(2009)
Nanostructures are of great interest because of the unique size range they occupy between the bulk and the quantum regimes. Characterizing nanostructures requires tools that can access this size regime. Transmission ...
Cosmology with a Dark Refraction Index
(2009)
In this dissertation we review Gordon's optical metric theory, generalize it, and apply it to modern cosmology.
Measurement of the Double Differential Dijet Mass Cross Section in pp(bar) Collisions at sqrt(s) = 1.96 TeV
(2009)
This thesis presents the analysis of the double differential dijet mass cross section, measured at the DØ detector in Batavia, IL, using pp(bar) collisions at a center of mass energy of √s = 1.96 TeV. The dijet mass ...
MEASUREMENT OF TOP QUARK PAIR PRODUCTION CROSS SECTION IN PROTON ANTIPROTON COLLISIONS AT √s = 1.96 TeV IN THE τ + jets FINAL STATE USING 1 fb<sup>-1</sup> OF DATA
(2009)
This dissertation presents a new measurement of p_p &rarr; t_t X
Albedos in the Kuiper Belt
(2009)
I have focused my research on the visual geometric albedos of transneptunian objects (TNOs), how the albedo varies with dynamical class, and whether or not it is correlated to orbital parameters. TNOs are among the ...

SPIN-ORBIT COUPLING EFFECTS IN InSb QUANTUM WELL STRUCTURES
(2009)
Indium antimonide (InSb) is a narrow band gap material which has the smallest electron effective mass (0.014m0) and the largest electron Lande g-facture (-51) of all the III-V semiconductors. Spin-orbit effects of III-V ...

InSb QUANTUM WELL STRUCTURES FOR ELECTRONIC DEVICE APPLICATIONS
(2009)
The electron effective mass is smaller in InSb than in any other III-V semiconductor. Since the electron mobility depends inversely on the effective mass, InSb-based devices are attractive for field effect transistors, ...
