Fabrication Of Superparamagnetic And Ferromagnetic Nanoparticles
(Physics, 2009-09-16)
Monodisperse magnetic nanoparticles with controlled size and geometry have drawn great attention in the last decade for fundamental scientific studies and for their potential applications in advanced materials and devices ...
The Synthesis And Luminescence Properties Of Lanthanide-based Nanoparticles For Biological Application
(Physics, 2008-09-17)
Lanthanide-doped nanoparticles have great potential as a new kind of luminescent material. In this thesis, we report the synthesis of Cerium-doped LaF3 nanoparticles in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) using chemical reaction at ...
Theoretical Study Of Electronic Properties Of The Cu(001) Surface Under Conditions Of High Coverage Oxidation
(Physics, 2009-09-16)
The study of adsorption of oxygen on transition metal surface is important for the understanding of oxidation, heterogeneous catalysis, and metal corrosion. The structures formed on oxidized transition metal surfaces vary ...
Case Studies Of The Circular Restricted Three Body Problem
(Physics, 2007-08-23)
In this thesis, the onset of instability for a planet which is part of a stellar binary system is investigated by running numerical simulations of the circular restricted three body problem. This study also makes use of a ...
Synthesis And Characterization Of Magnetic Nanoparticles
(Physics, 2007-08-23)
Synthesis of uniform nanoparticles (<100 nm) of hard and soft magnetic materials have attracted much attention in the last two decades because of their unique magnetic properties and potential for many applications such ...
Analysis Of Calorimeter/itc Cosmic Ray Data From The Atlas Detector, And Preparation For Supersymmetry Searches
(Physics, 2009-09-16)
The Large Hadron Collider is the largest most ambitious experiment in high energy physics history. It involves the greatest number of scientists from around the world. The first collisions will start being produced in late ...
On A Class Of ABCS
(Physics, 2007-08-23)
The local density approximation to density functional theory (LDA-DFT) has been used to study the different possible relaxations and reconstructions of In-rich InSb (100) surface. Various electronic and geometric structure ...
Effects Of Temperature Gradients On Transverse Oscillations Of Solar Magnetic Flux Tubes
(Physics, 2007-08-23)
Solar magnetic flux tubes support three fundamental modes: longitudinal, transverse and torsional tube waves. Previous studies showed that the propagation of longitudinal and transverse waves along thin and isothermal ...
A Study Of Ejection Times Of Terrestrial Planets From The Habitable Zones Of The Solar Twins Hd 20782 And Hd 188015
(Physics, 2009-09-16)
We provide a detailed statistical study of the ejection of Earth-mass planets from the habitable zones of the solar twins HD 20782 and HD 188015. These systems possess a giant planet that crosses into the stellar habitable ...
Plasmonic Nanostructures: Fabrication And Optical Characterization
(Physics, 2008-09-17)
Resonant light localization by metal nanostructures has potential for applications in cavity quantum electrodynamics (e.g. single-photon sources, quantum gates etc) and nonlinear optics.
In this thesis we present the ...
