  • In silico screening of nanoporous materials for gas sensing and separation

    Creator:
    Gantzler, Nickolas
    Abstract:
    The utility of high-throughput, computational screening has become an invaluable asset to the field of materials science. In the hierarchy of computational methods, the most accurate methods are often the most computationally expensive. However, as both the efficiency and fidelity of numerical techniques advance, high-quality screening of large materials datasets...

  • Analysis of Radio Signals for New Pulsar Detection

    Creator:
    Downing, Jaden
    Abstract:
    The North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves (NANOGrav) times periodic signals from pulsars as a method of detecting gravitational waves. NANOGrav detects waves emitted in the nanohertz frequency range, a range lower than those previously explored by other organizations. This allows for the study of rarely observed sources such...

  • Bioelectronic Systems for Neurosensing Enabled by Graphene

    Creator:
    Fengel, Carly V.
    Abstract:
    Taking long-term electrical measurements of a large number of neurons simultaneously is required for many modern neuroscience experiments. However, such experiments are currently limited by the shortcomings of traditional neurosensing technology. For example, there is a significant mechanical mismatch between rigid silicon probes and soft biological tissues. This mismatch can...

  • Photostability of organic semiconductors : from bulk to nanoscales

    Creator:
    Quist, Nicole Arianne
    Abstract:
    Organic semiconductors have attracted considerable attention due to their applications in low-cost, solution-processable (opto)electronic devices. An important class of high-performance organic semiconductors is pentacene derivatives, which exhibit high charger carrier mobilities in field-effect transistors and ultrafast singlet fission in photovoltaic devices. These derivatives have served as benchmark materials for systematic...

  • Monte Carlo Radiation Transfer Simulations of Gamma Ray Burst Prompt Emission

    Creator:
    Parsotan, Tyler M.
    Abstract:
    Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) are the most energetic explosions in the Universe, producing up to $\sim10^{53}$ ergs of energy in the first few seconds of their emission -- the so-called prompt phase that is dominated by high energy X-ray and $\gamma$-ray photons. The very large luminosities released in these events...

  • Isolating Non-Blackbody Radiation Spectra from Low-Bandgap LEDs near Zero Bias

    Creator:
    Teo, YiPeng
    Abstract:
    The study of carrier transport in light-emitting diode (LED) has been researched extensively in the past. However, most studies were implementing voltages above the turn-on voltage of the LED. Research on LEDs well below the turn-on voltage threshold is comparatively scarce for good reasons. When the supply voltage is below...

  • Exciton and Polariton Nature in Organic Crystals

    Creator:
    Van Schenck, Jonathan D. B.
    Abstract:
    Understanding the impact of inter-molecular orientation on the optical proper-ties of organic semiconductors is important for designing next-generation organic (opto)electronic and photonic devices. However, fundamental aspects of how various features of molecular packing in crystalline systems determine the nature and dynamics of excitons have been a subject of debate. Toward...

  • Coordinatization Activated: How Students Understand and Apply Coordinate-Independent Integral Equations to Physics Situations

    Creator:
    Mulder, Gregory S.
    Abstract:
    Physics problems that require integration, such as finding the center of mass of an object or finding the electric field from a continuous distribution of charge, are one type of problem that is difficult for introductory physics students to solve. These problems require students to define a coordinate system in...

  • Electronic and Optical Properties of Defects in Amorphous Oxide and Transition Metal Dichalcogenide Semiconductors

    Creator:
    Vogt, Kyle
    Abstract:
    The optical and electronic properties of amorphous oxide thin films depend crucially on chemical composition, and deposition process variations which give rise to sub-gap defect states. Consequently, there is a need for a reliable, high-throughput method to extract sub-gap defect densities of states in amorphous oxide thin films. We present...

  • Exploring Student and Expert Understanding of Thermodynamic Potentials, Legendre Transformations, and Independent Variables in Thermodynamics

    Creator:
    Vignal, Michael
    Abstract:
    Thermodynamic potentials are energies that can describe a thermodynamic system in terms of different mathematically independent variables. Some of these potentials describe particular thermodynamic systems or processes in particularly convenient ways. In this dissertation, I discuss the different ways that students and experts reason about quantities in thermodynamics within the...
