  • Design of an Optical Medium for the Simulation of Neutron Transport in Reactor Component Materials

    Creator:
    Konyndyk, David M.
    Abstract:
    The scattering of optical rays by small spherical particles bears a strong resemblance to the diffusion of fission neutrons in solid materials. This work explores the feasibility of exploiting similarities between these two systems for the purposes of reactor component analysis, education, and outreach. After a brief overview of reactor-environment...

  • 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)...
