Magnetic And Nonmagnetic Nanoparticles From A Group Of Uniform Materials Based On Organic Salts, Aaron Tesfai, Bilal El-Zahab, Algernon T. Kelley, Min Li, Jayne C. Garno, Gary A. Baker, Isiah M. Warner

Faculty Publications

The size and uniformity of magnetic nanoparticles developed from a group of uniform materials based on organic salts (GUMBOS) were controlled using an in situ ion exchange, water-in-oil (w/o) microemulsion preparation. Most of these nanoGUMBOS are in fact ionic liquids (i.e., melting points less than 100 °C), while others have melting points above the conventional 100 °C demarcation. Simple variations in the reagent concentrations following a w/o approach allowed us to smoothly and predictably vary nanoparticle dimensions across a significant size regime with excellent uniformity. Average sizesofGUMBOS particles ranging from 14 to 198 nm were achieved by manipulation of the …

Impact Of High-Order Surface Plasmon Modes Of Metal Nanoparticles On Enhancement Of Optical Emission, Greg Sun, Jacob B. Khurgin, C. C. Yang

Physics Faculty Publications

We consider the impact of high-order surface plasmon modes supported by the metal nanoparticles on the efficiency enhancement of optical emission. Using the example of Au nanosphere embedded in the GaN dielectric, we show that for an emitter with certain original radiative efficiency, placing the emitter too close to the metal sphere does not always produce additional enhancement. Thus our model provides analytical treatment of the luminescence quenching and can be used to optimize both nanoparticle size and its separation from the emitter to yield maximum enhancement.

Two-Photon Fluorescence Ternary Optical Data Storage, Kevin Belfield

UCF Patents

The data storage capacity is limited by the optical resolution resolution of a sysytem. In CD/DVD systems, an increase in the aerial data density has been primarily achieved by decreasing the bit dimesions. However, the size of the optical spot (bit) is restricted by limitations imposed by the diffraction of light.

Volume Bragg Lasers Based On High Efficiency Diffractive Elements In Photo-Thermo-Refractive Glass, Leonid Glebov, Vladim Smirnov, Georgiy Venus

UCF Patents

A volume Bragg laser including a resonator comprising photo-thermo-refractive (PTR) volume diffractive elements that can be used in a laser emitting window of transparency of PTR glass to provide control of the lasers spectral and angular parameters, and methods, devices, apparatus and systems related thereto. The high efficiency volume Bragg gratings recorded in photo-thermo-refractive (PTR) glass preferably has an absolute diffraction efficiency exceeding approximately 95% in transmitting and reflecting modes is used for selection of a transverse and longitudinal mode for thermal, optical and mechanical stabilization of the volume Bragg lasers and coherent coupling of different lasers. Robustness, compactness, thermal …

Differential Eeg, Sheng Feng Yen, Daniel Schoonover, Justin C. Sanchez, Jose C. Principe, John G. Harris

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

We propose to improve the spatial resolution of electroencephalography (EEG) using a differential recording methodology. Conventional EEG (CEEG) systems independently amplify and digitize the signal from each electrode. The Differential EEG (DEEG) approach amplifies the minute difference signal between neighboring electrodes which greatly eases the burden on the subsequent amplification and data conversion stages. A custom DEEG system was designed and fabricated in a 0.6 um CMOS process. The fabricated chip was built into a small prototype DEEG recording system used to measure alpha waves from the occipital lobe of a human subject. We show that the differential approach suffers …

Targeting Transfer In A Stellar Pbl Course For Pre-Service Teachers, Cindy E. Hmelo-Silver, Sharon J. Derry, Alan Bitterman, Natalie Hatrak

Interdisciplinary Journal of Problem-Based Learning

Helping students in the professions apply conceptual ideas to the problems of practice is a key goal of problem-based learning (PBL). Because PBL is organized around small, collaborative groups, scaling up PBL to large, heterogeneous classes poses significant challenges for implementation. This study presents a hybrid model that mixes online and face-to-face PBL. The STELLAR system was developed to support online and hybrid PBL courses for pre-service teachers. It allows PBL to be implemented in larger classes because its scaffolding capabilities allow a small number of facilitators to distribute their attention among multiple small groups. In a quasi-experimental study, we …

Storytelling As An Instructional Method: Definitions And Research Questions, Dee H. Andrews, Thomas D. Hull, Jennifer A. Donahue

Interdisciplinary Journal of Problem-Based Learning

The goal of this paper is to discuss the theoretical and empirical foundations of the use of storytelling in instruction. The definition of a “story” is given and four instructional methods are identified related to storytelling: case-based, narrative-based, scenario-based and problem-based instruction. The article puts forth descriptions of the four instructional methods above, describes several research issues, some foundational work and theories, and proposes a research agenda.
