  • Monte Carlo Simulations of Structure and Melting Transition of Small Ag Clusters

    Creator:
    Collins, Lee
    Abstract:
    The behavior of small atomics cluster largely depends on their geometry, due to the high ratio of surface atoms to interior atoms. One interesting aspect to study clusters centers around characterizing the transition behavior between nite and bulk materials, where the ratio of surface atoms to interior atoms is very...

  • Computational nanooptics in hyperbolic metamaterials and plasmonic structures

    Creator:
    Thongrattanasiri, Sukosin
    Abstract:
    This dissertation concerns several problems in the fields of light interaction with nanostructured media, metamaterials, and plasmonics. We present a technique capable of extending operational bandwidth of hyperbolic metamaterials based on interleaved highly-doped InGaAs and undoped AlInAs multilayer stacks. The experimental results confirm theoretical predictions, exhibiting broadband negative refraction response...

  • The construction and computational modeling of a fiber Bragg grating tunable laser diode

    Creator:
    Winz, Michele W.
    Abstract:
    The widespread adoption of wavelength division multiplexing to increase the bandwidth of optical fiber communication systems has provided a major impetus for research on low cost, single-mode, wavelength stable tunable diode lasers for use in optical telecommunications due to the large volume of lasers required. Other applications, such as demodulation...

  • Framework for Computational Modelling of Cellular Diffusion Systems

    Creator:
    Senger, Mitchell John
    Abstract:
    Many biological processes are regulated by the presence and movement of cellular Ca²⁺ ions. The concentration of Ca²⁺ in a cellular environment is regulated by IP₃ sensitive channels that lie on the surface of a cell’s endoplasmic reticulum. Little is known about the macroscopic effects of intracellular Ca²⁺ activity, so...

  • John Archibald Wheeler : a study of mentoring in modern physics

    Creator:
    Christensen, Terry M.
    Abstract:
    This dissertation has two objectives. The first objective is to determine where best to situate the study of mentoring (i.e. the 'making of scientists') on the landscape of the history of science and science studies. This task is accomplished by establishing mentoring studies as a link between the robust body...

  • Connecting computational thinking and mathematics: an examination of linguistic opportunities and challenges

    Creator:
    Glickman, Abbie A.
    Abstract:
    In this paper, I used a linguistic lens of translanguaging and semiotics to examine how K-12 mathematics teacher candidates (TCs) create meaning around computer science (CS) and mathematics concepts in a computational thinking (CT) setting. I defined the term “disciplinary repertoire” as a mirror to the concept of a linguistic...

  • A Computational Framework for Resilience-Informed Design

    Creator:
    Hulse, Daniel E.
    Abstract:
    It is desirable for complex engineered systems to perform missions efficiently and economically, even when these missions' complex, variable, long-term operational profiles make it likely for hazards to arise. It is thus important to design these systems to be resilient so that they will actively prevent and recover from hazards...

  • Computational Modeling of Photon Scattering In Gamma Ray Bursts Using Monte Carlo Techniques

    Creator:
    Nguyen, Bao
    Abstract:
    The current model for gamma ray bursts (GRBs) assumes that internal shocks are responsible for the emission of gamma-rays. Internal shocks occur when the fast expanding shell collides with the slowly expanding shells. The light curve of a GRB depends on the initial state and the expanding speed of the...

  • Heat Loss Characterization of NIST-1's Containment Vessel

    Creator:
    Yoshiura, Ramon K.
    Abstract:
    NuScale Power has designed a small modular reactor using natural circulation cooling dependent systems for both steady-state and transient operations. The NuScale Integral Test System (NIST-1) facility was built to supply test data to NuScale Power to verify and validate computer codes for the NuScale Power Mod- ule (NPM) with...
