Transient electric birefringence for the characterization of cellulose nanocrystals and tobacco mosaic virus

Creator:: Taylor, Melissa J.
Abstract:: The development of a transient electric birefringence (TEB) apparatus for macroparticle characterization is herein discussed. The experimental difficulties encountered were related largely to poor data resolution. Misalignment and strain birefringence in optical components further complicated results. Improved data digitization methods were developed, and precise mathematical models were derived in order...

A comparison of auditory and visual graphs for use in physics and mathematics

Creator:: Sahyun, Steven Carl
Abstract:: The ability to interpret graphical information is a prime concern in physics as graphs are widely used to give quick summaries of data sets, for pattern recognition, and for analysis of information. While visual graphs have been developed so that their content can be readily and concisely discerned, there is...

Precursor Chemistry and Film Structure and Properties via Solution Deposition

Creator:: Huang, Yu
Abstract:: Chemistry of preparing dense film from solution deposition is explored with several cases in this thesis. Surface dense structure, conversion at melting point, and ion exchange in aqueous solution are the main topics covered here for the thin films of aluminum oxide phosphate and tin dioxide. Thin film density, optical...

Structure-property Relationships of Transition Metal Oxides Containing Precious Metals

Creator:: Hapuraja Pathirannehelage, Vidhara H. P.
Abstract:: This dissertation presents a study of structure-property relationships within 3d/4d metal oxides containing precious metals through detailed structure refinements using high-resolution neutron and X-ray diffraction data along with exploration of the resultant properties. Oxides of 4d or 5d transition metals tend to show new topological phases due to significant spin-orbit...

Direct patterning of solution deposited metal oxides

Creator:: Stowers, Jason K.
Abstract:: Patterning of metal oxides typically involves a multi step process, involving depositing a resist, patterning that resist with some form of lithography, etching the oxide through the resist, and finally removing. This process can be simplified if the resist is removed and replaced with a metal oxide that can be...

Preparation and characterization of polymer-SiO₂ hybrids

Creator:: Ferguson, Morgan L.
Abstract:: In a search for designed materials that mimic those found in biological systems, combining polymers with inorganic materials in sol-gel chemistry processes has gained momentum in the research world since the 1990's. This work methodically investigated the properties of several related polymer-SiO₂ hybrids prepared by a simple methodology that could...

Examination of low-lying rovibrational states of D₃[subscript h] oblate top molecules using high resolution FTIR and coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopies

Creator:: Kirkpatrick, Robynne
Abstract:: Interesting rovibrational characteristics of two D_(3h) oblate symmetric top molecules were studied. Hamiltonian models for the fine rovibrational level structure of [1.1.1]propellane (propellane) were obtained for many low-lying modes. Ground state parameters (GSP) that are not exclusively K^(2n) dependent were obtained. Initially, the GSP were used in conjunction with density...

Modeling Arctic melt ponds using a resolved ice model with GCM forcing

Creator:: Collins, Lee E.
Abstract:: The albedo of Arctic sea ice depends greatly on the formation of melt ponds. These ponds form in depressions on the ice as surface snow melts during the summer months, and their location is determined mainly by the initial snow topography. Using a high resolution sea ice model forced with...
