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. ...
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 ...
Probing Flavor Changing Higgs Interactions at LHC and Future Hadron Colliders
(2020-08)
In this dissertation, we discuss the prospect of discovering flavor changing neutral Higgs (FCNH) interactions with quarks and leptons at current and future hadron colliders. Particularly, we have looked for $t \to c h^0$ ...
WEAK SCALE SUPERSYMMETRY FROM THE MULTIVERSE
(2020)
The CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has not found any experimental evidence yet for Supersymmetric (SUSY) particles. This has pushed the limits on the masses of SUSY particles in the multi-TeV region high enough to question ...
Searches For Heavy Resonances In The $R \rightarrow WW \rightarrow \ell\nu\ell\nu$ Decay Channel Using $pp$ Collisions At $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV With The ATLAS Detector At The LHC
(2020-08)
This thesis presents a search for a heavy Higgs-like resonance decaying in the $R \rightarrow WW^{*} \rightarrow \ell\nu\ell\nu$ channel using the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The search uses proton-proton ...
Quantum Effects in Nodal-line Semimetals
(2020)
Topological materials such as Dirac and Weyl semimetals have relativistic quasiparticles at a discrete number of points in the Brillouin zone. Those materials are semimetalas in the bulk but host metallic surface states ...
THERMOPHOTOVOLTAIC DEVICES AND INFRARED PHOTODETECTORS BASED ON INTERBAND CASCADE STRUCTURES
(2020-05-08)
Mid-infrared (IR) optoelectronic devices form the basis for many practical applications such as thermophotovoltaic (TPV) energy conversion, gas sensing, thermal imaging, medical diagnostics, free-space communications, ...
