Predicting the Percentage: Relating the Refractive Index to Effective Medium Theory in Combination Dielectric Films

Creator:

Farmer, Skylar

Abstract:

Transparent conductive oxides (TCO) are at the forefront of technology with their uses in touch screen phones and televisions, solar cells and more. Titanium dioxide and tin dioxide are two TCOs that have been studied in depth on their own, so to further explore these TCOs, this project focuses on...

Characterizing Optical Signatures of TiO₂ Amorphous Precursors

Creator:

Berry, Patrick

Abstract:

TiO₂ typically crystallizes into three polymorphs: brookite, rutile, and anatase. The phase selection problem in TiO₂ is the lack of understanding what conditions cause amorphous TiO₂ to crystallize into one of its three polymorphs during an annealing process. It has been recently shown that phase selection in TiO₂ is highly...

Beating Modes in Protostellar Disks

Creator:

Varga, Attila V.

Abstract:

Computational simulations of disks are becoming an important tool to predict the the evolution of protostars and disks to better understand the formation of planets. Past research has shown that the evolution of disks and their protostar can be altered through the interaction between gravity and hydrodynamic instabilities. We perform...

Project BoxSand : Impact of Online Course Material and Mastering Physics Interactions on Exam Performance in a Flipped Classroom Environment

Creator:

Bigelow, Jake J.

Abstract:

A flipped classroom provides students with course content in the form of videos, readings, and/or simulations that they complete during the time traditionally used for homework assignments while in-class time is devoted to hands-on group learning activities. Project BoxSand is gathering quantitative data on how students in a flipped classroom,...
