Synthesis And Characterization Of Quantum Materials, Yunsheng Qiu
Doctoral Dissertations
"In this study, attempts were made to grow quantum materials that have recently undergone a profound change of perspective. These materials are involved in intricate macroscopic properties rooted in the subtle nature of quantum physics. To explore our understanding of quantum materials, this study includes three projects: Magnetic Topological Insulators, Topological Superconductors, and high-temperature superconductors.
A Cr-doped Sb2Te3 is added to the category for the magnetic topological insulators project. Their transport properties are studied, and the origin of ferromagnetism is studied. Anomalous Hall effect is observed in the Hall measurements, and serval factors (cooling rate, dopant deficiency) …

The Science Of Gravitational-Wave Sources And Beyond Compact Binary Coalescences, Yanyan Zheng
Doctoral Dissertations
"This work focuses on the field of gravitational-wave astronomy by extending the scope of detectable sources beyond compact binary coalescences, All the gravitational-wave detections so far come from compact binary coalescences. Focusing on core-collapse supernovae as promising sources for short gravitational-wave transients, this work reports optically targeted searches for gravitational-wave emitted by core-collapse supernovae during the third observing run of the LIGO and Virgo detectors. It also predicts the search sensitivity for the ongoing fourth and forthcoming fifth observing runs. Moreover, the work introduces a novel computational framework for testing the spatial distribution of binary black hole sources, allowing for …
