Static And Dynamical Properties Of Multiferroics, Sayed Omid Sayedaghaee Dec 2020

Static And Dynamical Properties Of Multiferroics, Sayed Omid Sayedaghaee

Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Since the silicon industrial revolution in the 1950s, a lot of effort was dedicated to the research and development activities focused on material and solid-state sciences. As a result, several cutting-edge technologies are emerging including the applications of functional materials in the design and enhancement of novel devices such as sensors, highly capable data storage media, actuators, transducers, and several other types of electronic tools. In the last two decades, a class of functional materials known as multiferroics has captured significant attention because of providing a huge potential for new designs due to possessing multiple ferroic order parameters at the …


An Update On The Computational Theory Of Hamiltonian Period Functions, Bradley Joseph Klee Dec 2020

An Update On The Computational Theory Of Hamiltonian Period Functions, Bradley Joseph Klee

Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Lately, state-of-the-art calculation in both physics and mathematics has expanded to include the field of symbolic computing. The technical content of this dissertation centers on a few Creative Telescoping algorithms of our own design (Mathematica implementations are given as a supplement). These algorithms automate analysis of integral period functions at a level of difficulty and detail far beyond what is possible using only pencil and paper (unless, perhaps, you happen to have savant-level mental acuity). We can then optimize analysis in classical physics by using the algorithms to calculate Hamiltonian period functions as solutions to ordinary differential equations. The simple …
