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...

Creator:: Sharf, Tal
Abstract:: Low-dimensional electronic materials offer a platform to observe biological processes with unprecedented spatial and temporal resolution. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are the closest physical analog to an ideal 1D system and can be scaled and integrated into multiplexed electronic circuitry. The molecular structure of a CNT is also biocompatible, making them...

Creator:: Stickel, Andrew
Abstract:: This dissertation is an exploration of the material response to Terahertz (THz) radiation. Specifically we will explore the ultrafast electron dynamics in the nonperturbative regime in semiconductors that have been patterned with nanoantenna arrays using broadband, high intensity, THz radiation. Three main semiconductor materials will be studied in this work....

Creator:: Capps, Jacob W.
Abstract:: Fast neutron detection is important to the detection of illicit nuclear materials and can help prevent those materials from being used or transported without discovery. Previous research has shown that Heavy Oxide Inorganic Scintillator crystals can be used to detect fast neutrons by capitalizing on their high inelastic scattering cross...

Creator:: Wiren, Zachary Quincy
Abstract:: Theories predict that making a dilute magnetic semiconductor strongly p -type would allow it to remain ferromagnetic at room temperature. This is of intrest as a ferromagnetic semiconductor would allow for a great many applications in the field of spintronics. Neutron scattering experiments were undertaken to better understand the antiferromagnetic...

Creator:: DeBorde, Tristan
Abstract:: Carbon Nanotubes are a unique family of nanostructures that have shown remarkable promise for mechanical, electrical, and optical applications. Fundamentally similar to the earlier discovered Buckminsterfullerene (C₆₀), carbon nanotubes are hollow cylinders formed from a single sheet of carbon atoms. The research presented in this dissertation investigates several carbon nanotube...

Creator:: Jackson, Dennis L.
Abstract:: We developed a model to investigate the dielectric properties of the BaTiO₃ − Bi(Zn₁/₂Ti₁/₂)O₃ (BT-BZT) solid solution, which is a relaxor ferroelectric and exhibits long range disorder. The model uses ab initio methods to determine all polarization states for every atomic configuration of 2 x 2 x 2 supercells of...
