Organic Semiconductors : Incorporating Xylindein into (Opto)Electronic Devices

Creator:

Rath, Jeremy J.

Abstract:

This research investigates the electronic properties of a fungi-derived pigment, xylindein as a novel sustainable material for organic electronics. Xylindein molecules were characterized in solution and in film. Absorption spectra and (photo)luminescence spectra were taken at various excitation wavelengths. Xylindein’s molecular properties were computed with the Gaussian 09 software suite....

High Field Terahertz Spectroscopy of Optically Excited Gallium Arsenide

Creator:

Compeau, James

Abstract:

High field time-domain terahertz spectroscopy (TDS) is used to determine the time dependent transmission and the time-delay and optical-power dependent conductivity of a wafer of gallium arsenide (GaAs). Gallium arsenide is a direct band-gap semiconductor and has potential as a computer processor component. Analysis of the transmission of terahertz (THz)...

Quantifying the Effects of Acoustic Coupling on Advanced LIGO

Creator:

Banowetz, Katherine

Abstract:

The Laser Gravitational Wave Observatory, or LIGO, is built to observe gravitational waves as they propagate through space. Advanced LIGO is extremely sensitive to movements of the test mass as small as 10⁻²¹ m/√Hz , which allows many signals other than gravitational waves to be detected by the system. Pressure...
