ns2-md0 Post-Transition Metal Oxides for Solar Energy Applications
(2020-08-10)
Meeting the growing global energy demand while mitigating the deterioration of the global climate requires the rapid introduction of clean, renewable, and sustainable fuels. Solar energy output at daytime provides more ...
INVESTIGATION OF NANOSTRUCTURES FOR HIGHLY SENSITIVE SURFACE PLASMON RESONANCE SENSORS
(2020-08-11)
An extensive study of Surface Plasmon Polaritons (SPPs) and their applications has been undertaken in this work. Highly sensitive surface plasmon resonance sensors, made of noble metals, as well as multilayer nanostructures, ...
STUDYING THE OXYGEN EFFECT IN PROTON THERAPY VIA GPU-BASED MICROSCOPIC MONTE CARLO SIMULATION
(2020-08-10)
Dissolved oxygen molecules are known to play an important role in radiotherapy. For example, tumor cells can be more radio-resistance under hypoxia than normoxia. There has been multiple hypothesis proposed to explain these ...
Toward Background-Free Methods to Search For Majorana Neutrinos in Xenon Gas
(2020-08-11)
Since the observation of double beta decay 33 years ago the search for neu- trinoless double beta decay has been underway. This is due to the fact that a robust observation of neutrinoless double beta decay is currently ...
Multiscale ionospheric electrodynamics and their impacts on the ionosphere-thermosphere system
(2020-08-11)
In this dissertation, multiscale ionospheric electrodynamics at different latitudinal regions and their impacts on the ionosphere and thermosphere (I-T) system have been studied in three aspects. Firstly, impacts of the ...
Observation and analysis of unexplored low-energy electron emission processes revealed using a low-energy positron beam
(2020-08-17)
This dissertation presents measurements of the kinetic energy distributions of low-energy, positron-induced electrons emitted from single-layer of graphene (SLG), highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG), Si, Cu and TiO2 ...
Searching for a Pair-Produced Supersymmetric Top Partner Using Recursive Jigsaw Variables and Boosted Decision Trees with 139 fb⁻¹ of Data From the ATLAS Detector
(2020-07-21)
The Standard Model of Particle Physics is the most comprehensive theory describing how fundamental particles and three of the four fundamental forces are related. However, the Standard Model is known to be an incomplete ...
Investigation of Clinoptilolite Zeolite as a Candidate System for Study by Positron Annihilation
(2021-04-14)
This thesis reports on the characterization of a clinoptilolite zeolite (〖Na〗_3 [〖Al〗_3 〖Si〗_15 O_36 ]12H_2 O) using Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX/EDS) for chemical analysis, low energy Secondary Electron (SE) ...
Experimental Studies Of Fundamental Aspects Of Auger Emission Process In Cu(100) And Ag(100)
(Physics, 2014-09-17)
Auger spectra at the low energies are accompanied by large contributions unrelated to the Auger transition. The Auger unrelated contributions can obscure the Auger peak and affect the quantitative analysis of the materials ...
A structural prediction of copper sulfide and study of its electronic properties and vacancy forming trend using density functional theory
The focus of this research is on the material challenges in photovoltaic. Copper Sulfide (Cu2 S) has been regarded as a potential solar absorber materials in photovoltaic industry. Despite its simple composition, it is a ...
