Observation of the third harmonic sinusoidal voltage response of a small incandescent lightbulb

Creator:

Hutchings, Scott

Abstract:

This thesis looks at the third harmonic voltage response of a small incandescent lightbulb. The third harmonic voltage, or 3 omega (3ω) voltage, arises from applying a 1ω sinusoidal voltage across a resistive material. The 3ω voltage carries with it information about the thermal conductivity of the material. A lock-in-amplifier...

Effects of Van der Waals Interactions on Surface Polarization Reflection

Creator:

Greene, Jon

Abstract:

Intensity beam profiles of a 633 nm laser off a super-polished glass surface were captured using surface polarization reflection. Profile capture can be difficult due to the relative intensities of molecular reflection versus macro reflection. Surface polarization reflection uses parallel polarized light incident at Brewster’s angle to extinguish macro reflection....

Developing Techniques to Measure Single Molecule Conductance

Creator:

Turner, Tyler and Mathews, Timothy

Abstract:

This project developed techniques and methods to measure single molecule conductance. Break gap junctions, used to measure electrical properties of single molecules, were explored. A Hewlett Packard mechanical nano-press was determined to be insufficient for creating a stable gap in which to conduct experiments. To avoid electromigration and bond annihilation...
