Broad Histogram Algorithm Comparison for the Square Well Fluid

Creator:

Simpson, Tanner T.

Abstract:

Thermodynamic properties of systems are often investigated computationally. Traditionally, thermal physics simulations are limited by their very small energy ranges and slow convergence. Broad histogram algorithms are a class of Monte Carlo algorithms that can explore an entire energy (and temperature) range in one thermal physics simulation: potentially saving months...

Generation of narrowband THz pulses and THz studies of ultrafast phenomena in semiconductor quantum wells

Creator:

Danielson, Jeremy R.

Abstract:

This work comprises two main parts: creating and shaping narrowband, pulsed THz radiation in a table-top optical setup; and applying THz pulses to semiconductor nanostructures to study electron dynamics. I developed a scheme to shape the THz output of a fanned-out periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) crystal. The pulses are...
