Classical Density Functional for the Weeks-Chandler-Andersen Soft-Sphere Repulsive Potential using Soft Fundamental Measure Theory

Creator:

Finster, Kirstie L.

Abstract:

We present a classical density functional to model the soft, repulsive potential of a Weeks-Chandler-Andersen (WCA) fluid using Soft Fundamental Measure Theory (SFMT) with temperature-dependent parameters inspired by the Barker-Henderson method. Our functional uses soft spheres to model the soft-sphere WCA potential, and gives results that are in good agreement...

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...

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...
