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 ...
QUANTUM MONTE CARLO STUDY OF BOSONIC LATTICE SYSTEMS IN THE PRESENCE OF DISORDER
(2018-08-30)
Disorder is ubiquitous in condensed matter systems, but a thorough understanding of these systems is hindered by poor control over the nature of disorder and competing interactions. Ultracold gases trapped in optical ...
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 ...
Bolometric Luminosities of Peculiar Type II-P Supernovae
(2018-08-02)
In this work, I analyze the bolometric luminosities of several peculiar Type II-P supernovae which are thought to originate from the same class of blue supergiant progenitor stars as the famous SN 1987A. This analysis is ...
PLANETARY REMNANTS AROUND WHITE DWARF STARS
(2015-05-08)
In this dissertation we present the results of four separate searches for infrared excess emission at white dwarf stars. Using spectra from the IRTF and photometry from PAIRITEL, MMT+SWIRC, Gemini+NIRI, and Spitzer+IRAC ...
Geometric Phase, Zeeman, and Optical Effects in the Excitation of PbF and Kr
(2011)
This dissertation is motivated by two major challenges in modern Physics. One is related to precession measurement and other is related to atmospheric science.
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 ...
ACTIVE GALACTIC NUCLEI IN THE ULTRAVIOLET SPECTRUM
(2016-05-13)
Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN) produce rich, luminescent spectra across the electro- magnetic spectrum. This work focuses on topics in the ultraviolet region, where lie the broad absorption line outflows innate to Broad ...
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 ...
SEARCH FOR ELECTROWEAK PRODUCTION OF SUPERSYMMETRIC STATES IN NON-UNIVERSAL HIGGS MASS MODEL WITH TWO EXTRA PARAMETERS COMPRESSED SCENARIO WITH THE ATLAS DETECTOR
(2018-05-11)
The ATLAS and CMS collaborations announced the discovery of the Higgs boson in July 2012, completing the particle content of the Standard Model.
Although the Standard Model is a great triumph, it is not considered to be ...
