  • Submerged jet impingement boiling thermal management

    Creator:
    Cardenas, Ruander
    Abstract:
    Technologies such as avionics and power electronics are driving the demand for thermal management schemes towards high heat fluxes and low surface temperatures. Typically, these applications require the dissipation of heat fluxes in the rage of 100-1000 W/cm² while maintaining surface temperatures lower than about 85 °C. Phase-change heat transfer...

  • 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...

  • Amorphous TiO₂ : A Thin Film Synthesis Route to Stabilization of Metastable TiO₂ Brookite

    Creator:
    Haggerty, James E. S.
    Abstract:
    Structure-specific synthesis processes are of key importance to the growth of polymorphic functional compounds such as TiO₂, where material properties strongly depend on structure as well as chemistry. The robust growth of the brookite polymorph of TiO₂, a promising photocatalyst, has been difficult in both powder and thin-film forms due...

  • Nonlinear Terahertz Spectroscopy and imaging of Carbon Nanomaterials

    Creator:
    Lee, Byounghwak
    Abstract:
    This dissertation presents nonlinear terahertz (THz) properties of carbon nanomaterials investigated by time-resolved high-field THz spectroscopy. In order to determine THz characteristics of nanomaterials, we performed THz power spectrum measurement, THz raster imaging, THz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) and time-resolved pump-probe experiment on two different types of single layer graphene and...

  • 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...

  • Student views on science and the scientific process : studying changes made in a redesigned non-major introductory science course

    Creator:
    Price, Matthew F.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study was to understand how instruction in an introductory nonmajor astronomy course at Oregon State University affects how non-science majors view science and the scientific process. The study used research-based methods to design a reform-based lecture/lab course and implement it for students. Two top-level questions were...

  • Determining localized anode condition to maintain effective corrosion protection

    Creator:
    Nguyen, Vinh
    Abstract:
    The main objective of the research is to develop a prototype device that can determine the condition of the thermally sprayed zinc anode in cathodic protection systems. The device needs to meet the following requirements: applicability in the field, non-destructiveness or minimal destructiveness of the zinc anode, ease of use...

  • Simultaneous beta/gamma digital spectroscopy

    Creator:
    Farsoni, Abdollah T.
    Abstract:
    A state-of-the-art radiation detection system for simultaneous spectroscopy of beta-particles and gamma-rays has been developed. The system utilizes a triplelayer phoswich detector and a customized Digital Pulse Processor (DPP) built in our laboratory. The DPP board was designed to digitally capture the analog signal pulses and, following several digital preprocessing...

  • Optical, electronic, and thermodynamic properties of layered mixed anion compounds

    Creator:
    Vielma, Jason Michael
    Abstract:
    Mixed anion compounds that form ZrCuSiAs-type crystal structures exhibit remarkable properties such as superconductivity at low temperatures, hole conduction with optical transparency in the visible region, and exciton absorption at room temperature. In this thesis, properties of a selected group of materials out of the very large set of mixed...
