  • Optical Tweezer Trapping of Colloidal Polystyrene and Silica Microspheres

    Creator:
    Peters, Kyle C.
    Abstract:
    Optical trapping is a tool used throughout a wide variety of disciplines rang- ing from precisely probing and manipulating sub-micron organisms in biol- ogy to analyzing fundamental charge transfer in colloidal physics. This thesis presents research involving optical tweezer force measurements of polystyrene and silica microspheres. In addition, preliminary work...

  • Effect of Solar System Models on Pulsar Timing Experiments

    Creator:
    Nicolaysen, Cooper
    Abstract:
    Gravitational wave (GW) astronomy is a key ingredient in confirming Einstein’s theory of General Relativity and showing how the universe sends ripples through spacetime, distorting distances between two points. The confirmation of high-frequency GWs observed by The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) in 2015 was a breakthrough in our understanding...
