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 bi ...

We develop a classical density functional for water which combines the White Bear fundamental-measure theory (FMT) functional for the hard sphere fluid with attractive interactions based on the statistical associating fl ...
One of the newer and rapidly developing approaches in quantum computing is based
on "quantum walks," which are quantum processes on discrete space that evolve in either
discrete or continuous time and are characterized ...

Several studies in recent years have demonstrated that upper-division students struggle with partial derivatives
and the complicated chain rules ubiquitous in thermodynamics. We asked several experts (primarily faculty ...

We describe an upper-division experiment in thermal physics where students measure the tension
of a rubber band as a function of temperature and length, and use a Maxwell relation to find the
change in internal energy ...

We investigate the value of the correlation function of an inhomogeneous hard-sphere fluid at contact. This
quantity plays a critical role in statistical associating fluid theory, which is the basis of a number of recen ...
