Silicon Carbide Nanotubes: Promises Beyond Carbon Nanotubes
(Physics, 2008-09-17)
First-principles calculations for the electronic and geometric structures of three different types of armchair and zigzag silicon carbide nanotubes from (3, 3) to (11, 11) and (3, 0) to (11, 0) have been performed using ...
Moment Calculations For Low Energy Ions In Jupiter's Magnetotail From Nasa's New Horizons Mission
(Physics, 2009-09-16)
Jupiter's magnetosphere and magnetotail is the largest cohesive structure in our solar system which extends to the orbit of Saturn. One of NASA's objectives is to understand how universal bodies interact with its surroundings. ...
Can Silicon Carbide Nanotubes Be Effective Storage Medium For Hydrogen Storage?
(Physics, 2009-09-16)
A systematic study of molecular hydrogen adsorption on three different atomic configurations of armchair SICNTs has been performed. In the first stage of our study, first principles calculations using both density functional ...
Study Of Jet And Missing Transverse Energy Performance In Dijet Events With ATLAS Data
(Physics, 2012-04-11)
The Large Hadron Collider(LHC) is the world's largest particle collider at CERN, Geneva, operating at a center of mass energy of 7 TeV . The Toroidal LHC Apparatus (ATLAS)is one of two general purpose detectors at the LHC. ...
First Principles Study Of Properties Of The Oxidized Cu(100) And Cu(110)
(Physics, 2013-07-22)
Copper based catalysts are of importance to a number of industrial processes including the synthesis of methanol, the reduction and decomposition of nitrogen oxides, and treatment of waste water. In copper catalysis surface ...
Optical And Structural Properties Of Zinc Based Nanoparticles Depend On Temperature And Molar Concentration
(Physics, 2009-09-16)
Zinc based nanoparticles have great potential for use in radiation detection as well as uses in solid state lighting. In this thesis, we report the synthesis of ZnO: Eu3+ with the use of solid state diffusion at temperatures ...
Conditions For Wave Propagation Along Solar Magnetic Flux Tubes
(Physics, 2007-08-23)
There is an intimate relation between all aspects of the solar activity and the presence of solar magnetic fields. Observations showed that the magnetic field at the photospheric level consists of magnetic flux tubes, which ...
AlfvÉnic Accelerated Electrons And Short Burst Auroral Kilometric Radiations Observed By The Fast Satellite
(Physics, 2007-09-17)
This investigation is motivated by previous study of short burst radiations (S-bursts) reported by Ergun et al. [2006], who suggested two generation mechanisms of S-bursts: one is the electron cyclotron maser instability ...
A First-principles Study On The Enhancement Of Beryllium Doping In Gallium Nitride
(Physics, 2007-08-23)
The excellent physical and electrical properties of Gallium Nitride (GaN) have made it a good candidate in light-emitting diodes and UV detecting semiconductor materials. However, GaN's p-type doping has long been a ...
Germanium Based Nanotubes: Fact Or Fiction?
(Physics, 2008-09-17)
Unlike carbon nanotubes, nanostructures of Ge, a group IV semiconductor, have not been fully explored. In particular, there is limited data available on Germanium-based nanotubes. The aim of this thesis is to explore the ...
