  • Human exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons : global cancer risk and metabolism

    Creator:
    Motorykin, Oleksii
    Abstract:
    In recent decades, there has been increased attention on human exposure to, and subsequently toxicity of, Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs). PAHs are widespread organic pollutants and some have been shown to be toxic, carcinogenic and mutagenic. This research was focused on understanding the link between global PAH emissions and lung...

  • Design and computer aided optimization of a fully integrated CMOS RF distributed amplifier

    Creator:
    Ballweber, Brian M.
    Abstract:
    Advancements in the sophistication and complexity of modern electronic systems are creating a need for highly integrated systems with ever higher operational frequencies. The economical demands of these systems dictate that they be implemented using low cost fabrication technologies, such as digital CMOS. One of the major challenges facing circuit...

  • Monte Carlo Radiation Transfer Simulations of Gamma Ray Burst Prompt Emission

    Creator:
    Parsotan, Tyler M.
    Abstract:
    Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) are the most energetic explosions in the Universe, producing up to $\sim10^{53}$ ergs of energy in the first few seconds of their emission -- the so-called prompt phase that is dominated by high energy X-ray and $\gamma$-ray photons. The very large luminosities released in these events...

  • A computer-simulated Stern-Gerlach laboratory

    Creator:
    Jia, Lichun
    Abstract:
    This project aims at building a Java application and a Java applet that would simulate a Stern-Gerlach laboratory in Quantum Mechanics. The project provides a tool for allowing the student to quickly design and run on the computer screen a number of experiments involving spin systems. This application could be...

  • Fabrication and low-temperature measurement of quantum devices

    Creator:
    Nichols, Dublin M.
    Abstract:
    Since the advent of graphene, research on 2D materials has exploded. Countless experiments have uncovered novel properties that emerge when different layered crystals are cleaved down to only a few atomic layers in thickness. The most popular of these non-graphene 2D materials is MoS2, a semiconductor which has been of...

  • Gravitational Waves and the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) and “Lab on a Chip”

    Creator:
    Gifford, Jessica
    Abstract:
    Improvements on the charge control measurements of the torsion pendulum, electron gun, and autocollimator system were conducted at the University of Washington in preparation for the fabrication of the final prototype of the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) gravitational wave detector for NASA. One main cause of transient forces on...

  • A comparison of substrate noise coupling in lightly and heavily doped CMOS processes for 2.4 GHz LNA's

    Creator:
    Hazenboom, Duncan S.
    Abstract:
    Three types of low noise amplifiers operating at 2.4GHz were designed. They are the commonly used single-ended and differential amplifiers as well as a new quasi-differential amplifier. The substrate noise injected into these amplifiers is examined for both heavily and lightly doped CMOS substrates. For the single-ended amplifier the noise...

  • Local Accessibility of Objective, Classical Reality

    Creator:
    Kincaid, Joshua J.
    Abstract:
    The fact that measuring a quantum system reduces it to apparently classical behavior, eliminating the interference patterns that are a hallmark of quantumness, cries out for an explanation. That explanation has been provided by the recognition of decoherence,whereby the interference is destroyed by the very interaction that acquires information.We begin...

  • Photophysics of organic semiconductors at the nanoscale

    Creator:
    Grollman, Rebecca R.
    Abstract:
    Organic semiconductors are used in a wide variety of applications including transistors,solar cells, and light emitting diodes. These materials are solution-processable,low cost, and tunable. Many successful organic optoelectronic materials utilizeblends of several types of molecules (such as donors and acceptors) in order topromote charge generation. As blends are an inherently...

  • Carbon nanotube devices engineered by atomic force microscopy

    Creator:
    Prisbrey, Landon
    Abstract:
    This dissertation explores the engineering of carbon nanotube electronic devices using atomic force microscopy (AFM) based techniques. A possible application for such devices is an electronic interface with individual biological molecules. This single molecule biosensing application is explored both experimentally and with computational modeling. Scanning probe microscopy techniques, such as...
