Influence of N Incorporation on the Electronic Properties of Dilute Nitride (IN)GaAsN Alloys.
(2010)
(In)GaAsN alloys with a few percent N have shown significant promise for a wide range of applications. However, N incorporation degrades the optical and electronic properties of GaAsN, which has not been sufficiently ...
Bose-Einstein Condensate Experiments in Optical Lattices.
(2010)
A Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) is a macroscopic ensemble of atoms that collectively behaves as a single quantum-mechanical object. In this thesis I describe an apparatus built to create and study a BEC, as well as initial ...
Preface: phys. stat. sol. (c) 7/10
(WILEY-VCH Verlag, 2010-10)
The 36th International Symposium on Compound Semiconductors (ISCS 2009) was held from August 30 to September 2, 2009, in Santa Barbara, California. As in previous symposia, ISCS united researchers investigating III–V and ...
Functional clustering in hippocampal cultures: relating network structure and dynamics
(2010-10)
In this work we investigate the relationship between gross anatomic structural network properties, neuronal dynamics and the resultant functional structure in dissociated rat hippocampal cultures. Specifically, we studied ...
Measurement of ttbar Helicity Fractions and Spin Correlation in ppbar Collisions at sqrt{s} = 1.96 TeV.
(2010)
In the production of top-antitop quark pairs during proton-antiproton collisions, the spins of the top and antitop are correlated. This correlation is quantifed by the spin correlation coefficient kappa or the fraction of ...
Observations of Shear Flows in High-Energy-Density Plasmas.
(2010)
The research discussed in this thesis represents work toward the demonstration of experimental designs for creating a Kelvin-Helmholtz (KH) unstable shear layer in a high-energy-density (HED) plasma. Such plasmas are ...
Polarimetric Image Reconstruction Algorithms.
(2010)
In the field of imaging polarimetry Stokes parameters are sought and must be inferred from noisy and blurred intensity measurements. Using a penalized-likelihood estimation framework we investigate reconstruction quality ...
Gravitational Wave Studies: Detector Calibration and an All-Sky Search for Spinning Neutron Stars in Binary Systems.
(2010)
The Laser Interferometer Gravitational wave Observatory (LIGO) Project has constructed three, kilometer-scale gravitational wave detectors in the United States. These detectors have achieved unprecedented levels of ...
Searches for Dark Matter.
(2010)
We examine indirect detection for neutralino dark matter. After a brief review of
cosmic ray propagation, we discuss signals for positrons, antiprotons, synchrotron
radiation and gamma rays from wino annihilation in the ...
Disruption of Model Membranes by PAMAM Dendrimers and Quantitative Nanoscale Analysis of Type I Collagen.
(2010)
erionic DPPC in the gel phase. Generation 5 and 7 Poly(amidoamine) dendrimers preferentially disrupt the fluid layer. For the first time, dendrimer can be observed collecting on top of the lipid preceding removal. The ...
