Quantum Coherence And Interference In Metallic Photonic Crystals And Hybrid Systems, Ali Hatef
Quantum Coherence And Interference In Metallic Photonic Crystals And Hybrid Systems, Ali Hatef
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
In the first part of the thesis, we study the absorption coefficient of quantum dots doped in metallic photonic crystals under different circumferences. We study numerically the temporal evolution of the absorption coefficient profile where a probe field is applied to monitor the absorption process in two cases, when quantum dots are embedded lightly and densely. We also studied the effect of a changing plasma frequency on the absorption profile of quantum dots two possible field configurations. We show that the changes in plasma energy can take the system from the absorption region to the transparent and gain region.

Electronic And Magnetic Excitations In Graphene And Magnetic Nano-Ribbons, Maher Zakaria Ahmed Selim
Electronic And Magnetic Excitations In Graphene And Magnetic Nano-Ribbons, Maher Zakaria Ahmed Selim
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
The discovery of graphene - a 2D material with superior physical properties - in 2004 was important for the intensive global research to find alternatives to three-dimensional (3D) semiconductor materials in industry. At the same time there have been exciting advances for 2D magnetic materials on the nanometer scale. The superior properties of graphene are mainly attributed to its crystal structure and its relatively short-range interactions. These properties show that natural and artificial 2D materials are promising for new applications.
In this thesis we have carried out a comprehensive investigation of the effects of the 2D lattice structures, the roles …
Hyperthermal H2 Induced C–H Bond Cleavage: A Novel Approach To Cross-Linking Of Organic Molecules, Tomas Trebicky
Hyperthermal H2 Induced C–H Bond Cleavage: A Novel Approach To Cross-Linking Of Organic Molecules, Tomas Trebicky
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
The development of simple and effective methods of incorporating molecular moieties with desirable properties into new functional materials is one of the ultimate goals of material scientists. The work presented in this thesis demonstrates an easy way to accomplish this using a beam of gaseous H2, which we call hyperthermal hydrogen induced cross-linking (HHIC). We prove theoretically and experimentally that when the kinetic energy of H2 is raised to ~20 eV, it becomes a light-mass projectile which is energetic enough to knock hydrogen atoms off of organic molecules, but not other heavier atoms. By developing a reactor …
Microrheology And Microstructure Of Poly(Vinyl Alcohol)-Based Physical Gels, Nan Yang
Microrheology And Microstructure Of Poly(Vinyl Alcohol)-Based Physical Gels, Nan Yang
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
We study the microrheology and microstructure of physically cross-linked poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) gels using atomic force microscopy, dynamic light scattering and particle tracking. We compare the microscopic rheological properties with the bulk properties measured using conventional shear rheometry, and correlate the rheological properties to the structure of the materials.
We develop a new technique for investigating the viscoelastic properties of soft materials using the atomic force microscope. The electronic feedback of an atomic force microscope is modified by adding a small oscillatory voltage to the deflection signal, and the amplitude and phase of the motion of the sample stage is …

Structure And Strength: Anisotropic Polyvinyl Alcohol Hydrogels And Spider Mite Silk Fibres, Stephen Hudson
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is a hydrophilic, biocompatible polymer which can be made into physically cross-linked hydrogels by freezing and thawing PVA solution. These hydrogels can be made with anisotropic mechanical properties closely matching those of porcine aorta, making them a promising material for producing artificial heart valves and heart valve stents.
Small- and ultra small-angle neutron scattering has been used to study the structure of isotropic and anisotropic PVA hydrogels at length-scales of 2 nm to 10 μm. By supplementing the neutron data with data from atomic force microscopy, a large range of length-scales have been probed, within which structural …
