Studies of heavy element multi-nucleon transfer reactions using radioactive decay analysis of the 136Xe + 198Pt reaction at a center of target lab energy of 777 MeV (5.7MeV/A)

Creator:: McCaleb, Kyle M.
Abstract:: Recent experiments have advanced the current understanding of multi-nucleon transfer(MNT) reactions. Within nuclear science, most nuclear reaction experiments consist of a stationary target material, that is then bombarded by a moving projectile. Overall nuclear reactions can be used to produce a desired isotope. In the case of this particular study...

Femtosecond Stimulated Raman Studies of Excited State Structural Events

Creator:: Tang, Longteng
Abstract:: Femtosecond stimulated Raman spectroscopy (FSRS) is an ultrafast vibrational technique which allows rapid collection of Raman spectra with simultaneously high temporal and spectral resolution. With the recent development of FSRS methodology, three FSRS techniques (conventional, tunable, and anti-Stokes) have been implemented in our laboratory to dissect the excited state structural...

Excited state molecular structural evolution and chemical reactivity studied by femtosecond stimulated Raman spectroscopy

Creator:: Han, Fangyuan
Abstract:: In this dissertation, my research work on excited state dynamics of small organic molecules in solutions is presented. Using femtosecond stimulated Raman spectroscopy (FSRS) as the main experimental tool, the excited state hydrogen-bonding dynamics (ESHBD) of Coumarin 102, a common laser dye molecule, in ethanol solution is examined with <150...

Tracking Excited State Proton Transfer and Inhibition with Ultrafast Raman and Transient Absorption Spectroscopy

Creator:: Oscar, Breland G.
Abstract:: In this dissertation, excited state proton transfer (ESPT) and its inhibition in solution and protein environments are revealed using both femtosecond transient absorption (fs-TA) spectroscopy and femtosecond stimulated Raman spectroscopy (FSRS). Using a tunable Raman pump to enhance transient vibrational features of the photoacidic chromophore HPTS in methanol and methanol...

Storage Battery Chemistries with Earth Abundant Charge Carriers

Creator:: Hong, Jessica Junghwa
Abstract:: The demand for the development of sustainable energy is an all time high as we burn through limited fossil fuel reserves and as environmental concerns rise every year. Renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power have limitations due to inconsistent power supply that cannot meet the regular needs...

Investigating Low-Frequency Vibrations in Condensed Matter Using Time-Resolved Third-Harmonic Generation Spectroscopy

Creator:: Wang, Liang
Abstract:: In this thesis, I present a new method we developed to study low frequency (< 700 cm⁻¹) vibrational dynamics: Time-resolved third-harmonic generation (TRTHG) spectroscopy. Among a variety of vibrational spectroscopy techniques, TRTHG differentiates itself with robustness, versatility, and simplicity. In TRTHG experiment, that involves only two ultrashort laser pulses, the...

High-Energy Lithium-Sulfur Batteries and Non-Metallic Ion Aqueous Batteries: Integrating Experiment and Theoretical Modeling

Creator:: Shin, Woochul
Abstract:: Humanities have been craving more freedom and conveniences in whatever form. Carriages evolved to cars and ultimately to aircraft so that one can reach any place in the globe within a day. The mobile phone has enabled people to make a phone call without a need to find a phone...

Bridging the Gap Between Equilibrium Properties and Ultrafast Dynamics with Time-Resolved Spectroscopy of Functional Systems

Creator:: Krueger, Taylor D.
Abstract:: Ultrafast spectroscopy has recently gained momentum as a powerful, noninvasive characterization toolset capable of studying a diverse array of samples with applications in chemistry, physics, biology, engineering, and more. Two popular ultrafast spectroscopic techniques include femtosecond transient absorption (fs-TA) and femtosecond stimulated Raman spectroscopy (FSRS). The latter of these techniques...

Revealing Ultrafast Dynamics and Functional Basis of Potential Biomedical Tools from Calcium Sensing to Optogenetics

Creator:: Tachibana, Sean R.
Abstract:: Photoactivated biomedical tools like fluorescent biosensors and optogenetic proteins have increased in popularity due to the precision targeting and activation used for in vivo applications. In nature, the initially discovered parent proteins exhibit properties such as fluorescence quantum yield (FQY), fluorescence color, and photoswitching dynamics that are unfavorable in mammalian...

Tracking Photoinduced Primary Events with Femtosecond Stimulated Raman Spectroscopy and Calculations

Creator:: Wang, Yanli
Abstract:: Femtosecond stimulated Raman spectroscopy (FSRS) is a powerful ultrafast technique which can track photoinduced excited state structural events on femtosecond (fs) to picosecond (ps) timescales. In addition to high temporal and spectral resolutions, FSRS provides a broad spectral window from ca. 100—2000 cm-1 for detection, enabling the direct mapping of...
