Production And Characterization Of Electrospan Polymer Nano-Fibers, Anna Sise
Production And Characterization Of Electrospan Polymer Nano-Fibers, Anna Sise
Honors Theses
Electrospinning is a process of generating polymer fibers by accelerating a polymer solution through an electric field. The polymer solution is released at a designated rate through a syringe; once the droplet enters the high voltage region, it whips throughout the chamber, landing upon a grounded collector. This procedure results in fibers with a range of diameter from several nanometers to a few micrometers. These fibers can be used in a variety of applications, including drug delivery, filter media, material substrates, optical media, tissue scaffolds, and wound dressing. For my senior thesis, I established the most successful method of creating …
Effect Of Compactified Dimensions On The Ground State Energy Of The Hydrogen Atom, Floyd Maseda
Effect Of Compactified Dimensions On The Ground State Energy Of The Hydrogen Atom, Floyd Maseda
Honors Theses
The three-dimensional Hydrogen atom has been explored extensively, and a wavefunction and energy expression can be found in closed form. Little work, however, has been done with higher-dimensional atoms. This discussion focuses on the effects of adding first one then two compactified dimensions to a Hydrogen atom. The metric of the 4-D Hydrogen atom is taken to be R3 × S1 while the 5-D metric is taken to be R3 × S2. We first determine the form of the Laplacian operator in each space and use it to find the respective atomic potentials. The variational method is used to determine …

Electronic Detection Of Ultra Cold Neutral Plasma, Nirakar Poudel
Electronic Detection Of Ultra Cold Neutral Plasma, Nirakar Poudel
Honors Theses
The project was started with an objective to investigate the effect of radio fre- quency absorption in Ultra Cold Neutral Plasmas (UNPs). The plasma oscillation is density dependent and can be excited by using external radio frequency field. A homodyne circuit is used to detect direct absorption of the radio frequency waves. The radio frequency waves are applied to conducting meshes which lie on either side of the plasma. The meshes are effectively a capacitor, which together with inherent circuit resistance constitute a high pass filter. A small part of the gain and phase shift of the filter depend on …
