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 …
Calculating Elastic Properties Of Confined Simple Fluids, Christopher D. Dobrzanski
Calculating Elastic Properties Of Confined Simple Fluids, Christopher D. Dobrzanski
Dissertations
Confinement in nanoporous materials is known to affect many properties of the fluids confined within their pores. The elastic properties are no exception. This dissertation begins with an overview of the relevant literature on ways of obtaining elastic properties of confined fluids. It outlines some fundamental gaps in our understanding. The chapters following address some of these gaps in understanding elastic properties of the confined fluid, in particular, how the shape of the confining pore matters, how supercriticality effects the properties, how an equation of state designed for confined fluids can be used to calculate elastic properties, and if an …
