  • 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...

  • Investigation of Energy Barrier Heights within Metal-insulator-metal Devices via Internal Photoemission Spectroscopy

    Creator:
    Jenkins, Melanie A.
    Abstract:
    Metal-insulator-metal (MIM) and dual-insulator MIM (MIIM) devices are used in rectennas, hot-electron transistors, single electron transistors, resistive random access memory (RRAM), and capacitors. The performance of these devices relies heavily on the energy barrier height at each metal-insulator interface. Thus, determination of the in-situ electron energy barrier at each interface...

  • 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...

  • New luminescent materials and high-performance solution-processed oxide thin films

    Creator:
    Jiang, Kai
    Abstract:
    Crystals of an incongruent-melting compound, Ba₃MgSi₂O₈, were grown by the flux method and its structure was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction methods. Ba₃MgSi₂O₈ crystallizes in trigonal space group P-3[bar]m1 with a = 5.6123(3) Å, c = 7.2667(9) Å and Z = 1. Eu²⁺ ions prefer one crystallographic Ba site...

  • Acoustically Assisted Magnetic Recording

    Creator:
    Li, Weiyang
    Abstract:
    In the past few decades, magnetic recording has been used as a dominant solution for massive data storage due to its large capacity, excellent reliability and low cost. Nowadays, exponentially increasing user-generated information is creating a huge demand as well as great challenges for high density data storage solutions. For...
