Graduate Masters Theses

This revised thesis has been submitted in 2021 due to findings of academic misconduct in the original thesis. The misconduct included improper citation and plagiarism of Dr. Khadir’s PhD thesis [1], particularly in the introduction, the state of the art and images 1.1-1.6, 2.4, 3.2, 3.4.

The localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) is known as a phenomenon that allow to enhance the efficiency of Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLED). This work researches the dependence of OLED performance with and without metallic nanoparticle incorporated in the organic layers. Diodes with periodic (PMN) and random (RMN) metallic nanoparticles along with both types …

Hopping Conductivity Of Electron Glass, Mingzhu Cui

Graduate Masters Theses

Hopping conductance between the sites in disordered systems is mapped to a random resistor network named Miller-Abrahams network. The conductance between two sites is in an exponential form depending on two parameters, the space separation and energy separation between sites. Our effort is focused on the visualization of the random resistor network. We find all the realizations for one electron hop and plot out the according random resistor networks. By comparing the random resistor network structures, we find that Coulomb interaction plays an important role in calculating the hopping conductance between sites. Furthermore, we rank the realizations by total energy …
