Electromagnetic properties of anisotropic plasmonic metamaterials

Creator:: Elser, Justin Lee
Abstract:: In this dissertation we study the electromagnetic properties of plasmonic metamaterials. We develop an analytical description to solve the fundamental problem of free-space scattering in planar plasmonic systems by utilizing anisotropic metamaterials. We show with exact numerical simulations that these manufactured materials do completely eliminate the scattering, and even in...

Subwavelength light confinement and quantum chaos in micro- and nano-structured metamaterials

Creator:: Govyadinov, Alexander A.
Abstract:: This dissertation concerns a broad range of unique phenomena related to the light propagation at nano- and micro-scales. To access the nano-domain, we introduce anisotropy-based waveguides with positive- and negative-index modes. These novel structures allow energy propagation in subwavelength regions and, in contrast to surface waves, have the mode structure...

An extension of the quantum theory of scattering to the non-asymptotic regime using Bohmian trajectories

Creator:: Stenson, Jared R.
Abstract:: Quantum mechanics provides a conventional theory of scattering that is limited in at least two ways: it focuses exclusively on the asymptotic regime and, in a more general sense characteristic of all quantum descriptions, provides no concrete account of individual particle evolution in spacetime. This is particularly true during the...

Unusual quantum effects in scattering wave functions of two-dimensional cage potentials

Creator:: Rowe, Kirk, 1966-
Abstract:: We exhibit long-lived resonances in scattering from two-dimensional soft cage potentials comprised of three and four Gaussian peaks. Specific low-energy resonances with very narrow width are shown to correspond to classical multiple-reflection events. These states have much larger probability densities inside the cage than outside and mimic bound states in...

Benchmarked simulation of antineutrino source terms for light water reactors during normal operation and diversion scenarios

Creator:: Somasundaram, Elanchezhian
Abstract:: Detection of reactor antineutrinos for non-proliferation applications has been researched extensively across the globe and is considered as a potential technology to remotely monitor reactor operations without any intrusions to reactor components. Reactor antineutrino detection experiments have been conducted in the past and have proven successful in detecting the changes...

Detection, classification and ecology of acoustic scattering layers

Creator:: Cade, David Edmund
Abstract:: Acoustic scattering layers of biological origin have been observed for nearly 70 years across the world’s oceans. The organisms that comprise these layers are known to be important features in most oceanic ecosystems, providing a vital trophic link between small phytoplankton grazers and larger species. There are many aspects of...

Exploring the Distinct Solution Behavior of Isostructural Polycoltanates

Creator:: Fullmer, Lauren
Abstract:: Polyoxometalates are a rapidly growing class of discrete metal oxide clusters with a wide range of applications including functional materials. These anionic clusters of the group V and VI transition metals are inexpensive and non-toxic. Within group V polyoxometalates, niobium and tantalum chemistry has been underdeveloped owing to their unique...

Applying uncertainty and sensitivity on thermal hydraulic subchannel analysis for the multi-application small light water reactor

Creator:: Brigantic, Adam
Abstract:: Small modular reactors (SMRs) are a recent advancement in commercial nuclear reactor design with growing interest worldwide. New SMR concepts, such as the Multi-Application Small Light Water Reactor (MASLWR), must undergo a licensing processes established by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) prior to commercial operation. Given the lack of...
