Electronic and Optical Properties of Defects in Amorphous Oxide and Transition Metal Dichalcogenide Semiconductors

Creator:: Vogt, Kyle
Abstract:: The optical and electronic properties of amorphous oxide thin films depend crucially on chemical composition, and deposition process variations which give rise to sub-gap defect states. Consequently, there is a need for a reliable, high-throughput method to extract sub-gap defect densities of states in amorphous oxide thin films. We present...

Applications of Holographic Optical Tweezers: Multiplexed Fluorescence Spectroscopy and the Micromechanics of Type-I Collagen

Creator:: Cibula, Matthew A.
Abstract:: The development and some applications of holographic optical tweezers (HOT) are presented. Our HOT system uses a spatial light modulator (SLM) to control the location and properties of the optical trap. We have developed a method for optimizing the diffraction efficiency of a SLM that can be applied in situ...

Investigation of bipolar resistive switching in zinc-tin-oxide for resistive random access memory

Creator:: Murali, Santosh
Abstract:: Resistive random access memory (RRAM) is a non-volatile memory technology based on resistive switching in a dielectric or semiconductor sandwiched between two different metals. Also known as memristors, these devices are potential candidates for a next-generation replacement for flash memory. In this thesis, bipolar resistive switching is reported for the...

Study of creeping, inertial and turbulent flow regimes in porous media using particle image velocimetry

Creator:: Patil, Vishal A.
Abstract:: Porous media flows are encountered in many natural and man-made systems such as gas adsorption, filtration, heat exchangers, combustion, catalytic reactors and groundwater hydrology. This study experimentally investigates these flows as function of pore Reynolds number, Re[subscript pore]. The pore Reynolds number is based on the porous bed hydraulic diameter,...

Terahertz Imaging and Nonlinear Spectroscopy of Semiconductors using Plasmonic Devices

Creator:: Thompson, Zachary James
Abstract:: In this dissertation, a series of studies in the field of terahertz (THz) science are presented, specifically using nonlinear THz spectroscopy. We exploit huge field enhancement and subwavelength confinement in plasmonic structures. There are three distinct projects which will be discussed: nonlinear THz spectroscopy using plasmonic induced transparency (PIT), THz-triggered...

Much Ado About Weak Measurement

Creator:: Bauml, Benjamin Noë
Abstract:: I had to write again. My research lay in science, and it was a science of three parts. The first part made a careful, introductory chapter, begged for by things that were lacking. It summarizes the von Neumann measurement model, derived from the Stern-Gerlach experiment, and it explains how weak...

An Ising-like model to predict dielectric properties of the relaxor ferroelectric solid solution BaTiO3 - Bi(Zn1/2Ti1/2)O3, An Ising-like model to predict dielectric properties of the relaxor ferroelectric solid solution BaTiO₃ − Bi(Zn₁/₂Ti₁/₂)O₃

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...

Monte Carlo studies of classical Heisenberg spins on face-centered-cubic lattices : effects of strain, interlayer coupling, and dilution of lattice

Creator:: Park, Seongweon
Abstract:: This thesis presents the results from Monte Carlo calculations on classical vector spins in face-centered-cubic (FCC) lattices. The goal of the study was to understand the effect of interlayer coupling, dilution of magnetic atoms in the lattice, and symmetry-changing strain. Experimental work by T. M. Giebultowicz et al. and J....

Method development for characterizing the hydrophobicity of engineered nanoparticles

Creator:: Lee, Fang Yu
Abstract:: Characterizing the hydrophobicity of nanoparticles can help us understand their fate and transport in the environment, as well as how nanoparticles may interact with biological systems. However, contact angle and partition coefficient have limitations in measuring the hydrophobicity of nanoparticles, thus promising methods to measuring the hydrophobicity of nanoparticles are...
