  • Terahertz Induced Non-linear Electron Dynamics in Nanoantenna Coated Semiconductors at the Sub-picosecond Timescale

    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....

  • Comprehensive depletion-mode modeling of oxide thin-film transistors

    Creator:
    Zhou, Fan
    Abstract:
    The primary focus of this thesis is modifying the comprehensive depletion-mode model and extending its applicability to p-channel thin-film transistor (TFT) behavior and subthreshold (subpinchoff) operation. The comprehensive depletion-mode model accurately describes depletion-mode TFT behavior and establishes a set of equations, different from those obtained from square-law theory, which can...

  • Broadband modeling of on-chip transformers for silicon RFICs

    Creator:
    Rapolu, Kavitha
    Abstract:
    Magnetically coupled passive transformers are increasingly integrated on-chip for various analog and radio frequency (RF) applications including direct current (DC) isolation, impedance transformation/matching, and conversion between single-ended and differential signals. A primary motivation for the on-chip integration of transformers is the overall size reduction and reduced cost. However, the performance...

  • Gene Expression, Structure Elucidation, and Bioactivity of Aspergillus Natural Products

    Creator:
    Neuhaus, George F.
    Abstract:
    The study of natural products (NPs) and their application has shaped humanity. Starting with the idea of using plants as medicine, it has now grown into the science of purifying and identifying organic molecules from nature to study their inherent biological activities. Understanding the molecular structures of NPs is the...

  • Computational nanooptics in hyperbolic metamaterials and plasmonic structures

    Creator:
    Thongrattanasiri, Sukosin
    Abstract:
    This dissertation concerns several problems in the fields of light interaction with nanostructured media, metamaterials, and plasmonics. We present a technique capable of extending operational bandwidth of hyperbolic metamaterials based on interleaved highly-doped InGaAs and undoped AlInAs multilayer stacks. The experimental results confirm theoretical predictions, exhibiting broadband negative refraction response...

  • High-Field Terahertz Spectroscopy of Nanoscale Materials

    Creator:
    Mousavian, Ali
    Abstract:
    This dissertation covers my work relating to the application of strong terahertz (THz) radiation to study the nonlinear properties of nano-scale material. It presents experimental and numerical studies on the optical and electronic properties of various material system including single-layer graphene, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), nanoantenna-patterned gallium arsenide (GaAs) and...

  • Thermal conductivity measurements of amorphous metal thin films via the 3ω method

    Creator:
    Zhan, Kai
    Abstract:
    Amorphous multicomponent metals have promising applications in novel electronic devices because of their atomically smooth surface morphology and lack of grain boundaries. It is important to understand the thermal transport properties of amorphous metals and an accurate measurement of their thermal conductivity will be essential for further improvement of device...

  • The optical properties of multi-scale plasmonic structures and their applications in optical characterization and imaging

    Creator:
    Kuhta, Nicholas Anthony
    Abstract:
    The optical response of metallic structures is dominated by the dynamics of their free electron plasma. Plasmonics, the area of optics specializing in the electromagnetic behavior of heterogeneous structures with metallic inclusions, is undergoing rapid development, fueled in part by recent progress in experimental fabrication techniques and novel theoretical approaches....

  • Properties of Large Superfluid Helium Droplets

    Creator:
    Alghamdi, Maha
    Abstract:
    In this dissertation, I describe the experimental investigation of large superfluid helium droplets. The goal and direction of this thesis is to facilitate the use of these droplets as part of our project ss-EDI. The overall scheme of ss-EDI is to dope proteins inside helium droplets and collect a diffraction...

  • Generating and using terahertz radiation to explore carrier dynamics of semiconductor and metal nanostructures

    Creator:
    Jameson, Andrew D.
    Abstract:
    In this thesis, I present studies in the field of terahertz (THz) spectroscopy. These studies are divided into three areas: Development of a narrowband THz source, the study of carrier transport in metal thin films, and the exploration of coherent dynamics of quasi-particles in semiconductor nanostructures with both broadband and...
