Magnetic Thermal Hysteresis In Dy, Gd And Gd/Dy/Gd Nanolayers And Experimental Determination Of Thermodynamic Properties Of Thin Film Systems.
(Physics, 2013-03-20)
Magnetic thermal hysteresis (MTH) is observed when the temperature dependent magnetic properties of a material are reliant on the starting point of the measurement. MTH was observed in thin film Dy samples at low values ...
DESIGNING REACTIVE OXYGEN SPECIES PRODUCING MATERIALS FOR CANCER AND WASTEWATER TREATMENTS
(2021-08-13)
This dissertation is focused on using nanotechnology to improve conventional photodynamic therapy (PDT) and advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) for cancer and wastewater treatments, respectively. Even though PDT has a great ...
Searches for Supersymmetric Particles with the ATLAS Detector using Boosted Decay Tree Topologies
(2016-08-05)
The existence of a scalar Higgs particle poses a challenge to the Standard Model through an unnatural hierarchy problem with quadratic divergence. A supersymmetric framework, proposing heavy partners to every Standard Model ...
NONLINEAR MODE COUPLING COEFFICIENTS IN EXTRASOLAR HOT JUPITER SYSTEMS WITH NON-SOLAR TYPE HOST STARS
(2021-12-23)
Short period planets tidally excite internal gravity modes within their host star. These excited modes, known collectively as the dynamical tide, dissipate orbital energy and cause the planet’s orbit to decay. In hot Jupiter ...
INVESTIGATION OF OPTICAL AND ELECTRICAL PROPERTIES OF NOBLE METAL AND SUPERCONDUCTING THIN FILMS AND DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF METAMATERIAL SOLAR ABSORBERS
(2023-05-12)
**Please note that the full text is embargoed until 05/12/2024** ABSTRACT: An extensive study of light-matter interactions leading to the generation of photon drag voltage under surface plasmon resonance conditions in noble ...
Exploring Numerical Simulations of Localized Geomagnetic Disturbances
(2023-05-08)
One of the prominent effects of space weather is the formation of rapid geomagnetic field variations on Earth’s surface driven by the magnetosphere-ionosphere system. These Geomagnetic Disturbances (GMDs) cause Geomagnetically ...
ANALYSIS OF WAVEFORM DISTORTIONS PRODUCED BY INTERFEROMETER RESPONSE FUNCTIONS FOR FUTURE SEARCHES OF GRAVITATIONAL-WAVE SIGNALS FROM CORE-COLLAPSE SUPERNOVAE
(2021-05-28)
Multi-messenger astronomy recently added a fundamentally new component to its wide array of observational tools: a gravitational-wave detector. A number of binary black holes mergers have already been detected by ...
Electroluminescent Signals and CosmogenicBackgrounds in High Pressure Xenon Gas TimeProjection Detectors
(2022-01-10)
The NEXT collaboration is developing a sequence of high pressure xenon gas time projection chambers with the aim of creating a ton-scale, very low background neutrinoless double beta decay search. Finding evidence of ...
Electronic and Magnetic Properties of Metal Doped Silicon-Carbide Fullerene-type Nanostructures
(2021-12-20)
Silicon carbide (SiC) is a technologically significant material. A recent report on the abundance of C60 fullerenes in interstellar space, along with the presence of SiC precursors, sparked interest in potentially similar ...
Search For Supersymmetry In Dijet And Multijet Channels And Soft QCD Measurements Using The ATLAS Detector At The Large Hadron Collider
(Physics, 2011-03-03)
The ATLAS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has collected a substantial amount of data to understand the Standard Model of particle physics at higher than previous center of mass energy available and to ...
