A Gauge Theoretic Treatment Of Rovibrational Motion In Diatoms, Gregory Colarch
UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones
The Born-Oppenheimer approximation has long been the standard approach to solving the Schrödinger equation for diatomic molecules. In it, nuclear and electronic motions are separated into "slow" and "fast" degrees of freedom and couplings between the two are ignored. The neglect of non-adiabatic couplings leads to an incomplete description of diatomic motion, and in a more refined approach, non-adiabatic couplings are uncoupled by transforming the angular momentum of the molecule and electrons into the body-fixed frame.
In this thesis we examine a "modern" form of the Born-Oppenheimer approximation by exploiting a gauge theoretic approach in a description of molecular motion. …
Influence Of Quantum Dot Structure On The Optical Properties Of Group Iv Materials Fabricated By Ion Implantation, Eric G. Barbagiovanni
Influence Of Quantum Dot Structure On The Optical Properties Of Group Iv Materials Fabricated By Ion Implantation, Eric G. Barbagiovanni
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
In nanostructures (NSs), to acquire a fundamental understanding of the electronic states by studying the optical properties is inherently complicated. A widely used simplification to this problem comes about by developing a model for a small scale representation of types of NSs and applying it to a hierarchy of fabrication methods. However, this methodology fails to account for structural differences incurred by the fabrication method that lead to differences in the optical properties. Proper modelling is realized by first considering the proper range of experimental parameters individually as inputs to a theoretical model and applying the correct parameters to the …
Phase Control In Atomic Coherence, Utsab Khadka
Phase Control In Atomic Coherence, Utsab Khadka
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
In this thesis, atomic coherence is used to enhance nonlinear optical processes in multi-level atoms. The multi-photon transitions are driven resonantly, and at the same time without absorptive losses, by using electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT), thereby allowing the study of χ(3) and χ(5) nonlinearities using weak driving fields. The coherently modified probe beam(s) and the atom-radiated signal fields arising from four- and six- wave- mixing (FWM and SWM) processes are measured in the spectral, temporal and spatial domains.
In a three-level ladder-type atomic system, multiple peaks having spectral asymmetries are observed in the EIT window as well as …
The Effect Of Polarization And Ingan Quantum Well Shape In Multiple Quantum Well Light Emitting Diode Heterostructures, Patrick M. Mcbride
The Effect Of Polarization And Ingan Quantum Well Shape In Multiple Quantum Well Light Emitting Diode Heterostructures, Patrick M. Mcbride
Master's Theses
Previous research in InGaN/GaN light emitting diodes (LEDs) employing semi-classical drift-diffusion models has used reduced polarization constants without much physical explanantion. This paper investigates possible physical explanations for this effective polarization reduction in InGaN LEDs through the use of the simulation software SiLENSe. One major problem of current LED simulations is the assumption of perfectly discrete transitions between the quantum well (QW) and blocking layers when experiments have shown this to not be the case. The In concentration profile within InGaN multiple quantum well (MQW) devices shows much smoother and delayed transitions indicative of indium diffusion and drift during …
Investigation Of Negative Differential Resistance Phenomena In Quantum Well Heterostructures, Nazariy Andrushchak
Investigation Of Negative Differential Resistance Phenomena In Quantum Well Heterostructures, Nazariy Andrushchak
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Increasing interest in entirely new possibilities for quantum mechanical description of carriers transport is becoming more evident with the developing advancements in epitaxial growth technique. Consequently, molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) technique is considered to be the most precise technique that allows the growth of ultra-thin layers of different compositions.
Those structures can be designed to investigate the wave-nature of carriers, which broadens the possibilities in device design and fabrication for a specific area. In this thesis the fundamental study of the real space charge transfer (RST) mechanism that took place in quantum well heterostructures and led to the negative differential …

Parsimony And Quantum Mechanics: An Analysis Of The Copenhagen And Bohmian Interpretations, Jhenna Voorhis
Parsimony And Quantum Mechanics: An Analysis Of The Copenhagen And Bohmian Interpretations, Jhenna Voorhis
Scripps Senior Theses
Parsimony, sometime referred to as simplicity, is an effective criterion of theory choice in the case of Quantum Mechanics. The Copenhagen and Bohmian interpretations are rival theories, with the Bohmian interpretation being more parsimonious. More parsimonious theories have a higher probability of being true than less parsimonious rivals. The Bohmian interpretation should thus be preferred on these grounds.

The First Direct Measurement Of The Weak Charge Of The Proton, John Poague Leckey Iv
Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects
Qweak is an experiment currently running at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility that uses parity-violating elastic electron-proton scattering to measure the weak charge of the proton QPweak . Longitudinally polarized electrons are scattered off a liquid hydrogen target and pass through a toroidal-field magnetic spectrometer. This experiment is a sensitive test for physics beyond the Standard Model, as QPweak is well predicted in the Standard Model. This dissertation describes the first direct measurement of QPweak . The precision that will be generated by the final 4% measurement will allow the probing of certain classes of new physics up to …
