A case study of how upper-division physics students use visualization while solving electrostatics problems

Creator:: Browne, Kerry P.
Abstract:: Presented here is a case study of the problem-solving behaviors of upper-division undergraduate physics majors. This study explores the role of visual representations in students' problem solving and provides a foundation for investigating how students' use of visualization changes in the upper-division physics major. Three independent studies were conducted on...

Students' Understanding of Complex Numbers in Middle-Division Physics

Creator:: Smith, Emily M.
Abstract:: Mathematical sophistication increases rapidly as students transition from lower- to upper-division physics courses. Complex algebra is one of the mathematical tools that is not introduced or used in lower-division physics courses but is pervasive throughout upper-division courses. In this dissertation, I study middle-division physics students' developing fluency with complex number...

Exploring Student and Expert Understanding of Thermodynamic Potentials, Legendre Transformations, and Independent Variables in Thermodynamics

Creator:: Vignal, Michael
Abstract:: Thermodynamic potentials are energies that can describe a thermodynamic system in terms of different mathematically independent variables. Some of these potentials describe particular thermodynamic systems or processes in particularly convenient ways. In this dissertation, I discuss the different ways that students and experts reason about quantities in thermodynamics within the...

A moving boundary model of calcium alginate gel formation and the estimation of diffusion and mass transfer coefficients

Creator:: Inoue, Shawna K.
Abstract:: Calcium alginate gels are widely used in the biotechnology, food, and pharmaceutical industries for cell immobilization, food additives, and controlling the release of therapeutic agents. Different gelation conditions can lead to different gel structures which affects the diffusion of solutes in gels, thus mathematical models were developed to describe diffusion...

The Consistent Histories Approach to the Stern-Gerlach Experiment

Creator:: Wilson, Ian
Abstract:: Standard quantum mechanics makes foundational assumptions to describe the measurement process. Upon interaction with a “classical measurement apparatus”, a quantum system is subjected to postulated “state collapse” dynamics. We show that framing measurement around state collapse and ill-defined classical observers leads to interpretational issues, and artificially limits the scope of...

Sensemaking Throughout the Physics Curriculum: Understanding Expert and Student Ideas About Sensemaking in a Physics Context

Creator:: Lenz, MacKenzie
Abstract:: Physics sensemaking is a growing topic of study within the physics education community. Many lenses have been used to study sensemaking but few have considered how time and instruction can impact student sensemaking practices and ideas. In this dissertation, I present four studies that address four major questions: What sensemaking...

An extension of the quantum theory of scattering to the non-asymptotic regime using Bohmian trajectories

Creator:: Stenson, Jared R.
Abstract:: Quantum mechanics provides a conventional theory of scattering that is limited in at least two ways: it focuses exclusively on the asymptotic regime and, in a more general sense characteristic of all quantum descriptions, provides no concrete account of individual particle evolution in spacetime. This is particularly true during the...
