Mode patterns in quadrupole resonator with anisotropic core

Creator:: Thongrattanasiri, Sukosin
Abstract:: This thesis deals with applications of uniaxial anisotropic crystals for microcavity resonators with partially chaotic underlying ray dynamics. We develop an implementation of the scattering matrix formalism, and relate the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the scattering matrix to the field distribution of inside the system. Using the developed technique, we...

Exchange interaction studies in magnetic semiconductors by neutron scattering

Creator:: Wiren, Zachary Quincy
Abstract:: Theories predict that making a dilute magnetic semiconductor strongly p -type would allow it to remain ferromagnetic at room temperature. This is of intrest as a ferromagnetic semiconductor would allow for a great many applications in the field of spintronics. Neutron scattering experiments were undertaken to better understand the antiferromagnetic...

BaCuChF (Ch = S, Se, Te) p-type transparent conductors

Creator:: Zakutayev, Andriy
Abstract:: BaCuChF (Ch = S, Se, Te) materials are chalcogen-based transparent conductors with wide optical band gaps (2.9 – 3.5 eV) and a high concentration of free holes (10¹⁸ – 10²⁰ cm⁻³) caused by the presence of copper vacancies. Chalcogen vacancies compensate copper vacancies in these materials, setting the Fermi level...

Computational nanooptics in hyperbolic metamaterials and plasmonic structures

Creator:: Thongrattanasiri, Sukosin
Abstract:: This dissertation concerns several problems in the fields of light interaction with nanostructured media, metamaterials, and plasmonics. We present a technique capable of extending operational bandwidth of hyperbolic metamaterials based on interleaved highly-doped InGaAs and undoped AlInAs multilayer stacks. The experimental results confirm theoretical predictions, exhibiting broadband negative refraction response...

Label free biosensing with carbon nanotube transistors

Creator:: Leyden, Matthew R.
Abstract:: As electronics reach nanometer size scales, new avenues of integrating biology and electronics become available. For example, nanoscale field-effect transistors have been integrated with single neurons to detect neural activity. Researchers have also used nanoscale materials to build electronic ears and noses. Another exciting development is the use of nanoscale...

Terahertz imaging and spectroscopy of carbon-based and semiconductor nanostructures

Creator:: Tomaino, Joseph L.
Abstract:: This thesis will cover work that I have completed relating to the field of terahertz (THz) science. My work has consisted of generating tunable, narrowband THz pulses in a table-top optical setup and using both narrow- and broadband THz pulses to study various material systems. Broadband THz pulses were used...

An Ising-like model to predict dielectric properties of the relaxor ferroelectric solid solution BaTiO3 - Bi(Zn1/2Ti1/2)O3, An Ising-like model to predict dielectric properties of the relaxor ferroelectric solid solution BaTiO₃ − Bi(Zn₁/₂Ti₁/₂)O₃

Creator:: Jackson, Dennis L.
Abstract:: We developed a model to investigate the dielectric properties of the BaTiO₃ − Bi(Zn₁/₂Ti₁/₂)O₃ (BT-BZT) solid solution, which is a relaxor ferroelectric and exhibits long range disorder. The model uses ab initio methods to determine all polarization states for every atomic configuration of 2 x 2 x 2 supercells of...

Generating and using terahertz radiation to explore carrier dynamics of semiconductor and metal nanostructures

Creator:: Jameson, Andrew D.
Abstract:: In this thesis, I present studies in the field of terahertz (THz) spectroscopy. These studies are divided into three areas: Development of a narrowband THz source, the study of carrier transport in metal thin films, and the exploration of coherent dynamics of quasi-particles in semiconductor nanostructures with both broadband and...

Optical trapping and acoustical probing of ultrasound contrast agent microbubbles confined in capillaries

Creator:: Almaqwashi, Ali
Abstract:: In an effort to develop an optical-acoustical understanding of ultrasound contrast agent microbubble dynamics in a micro-environment that resembles blood vessels, this thesis presents experimental work on optical trapping and acoustical probing of ultrasound contrast agent microbubbles confined in regenerated cellulose capillaries. First, we showed by acoustical means that the...

The optical properties of multi-scale plasmonic structures and their applications in optical characterization and imaging

Creator:: Kuhta, Nicholas Anthony
Abstract:: The optical response of metallic structures is dominated by the dynamics of their free electron plasma. Plasmonics, the area of optics specializing in the electromagnetic behavior of heterogeneous structures with metallic inclusions, is undergoing rapid development, fueled in part by recent progress in experimental fabrication techniques and novel theoretical approaches....
