Discrete Ordinates Methods for Transport Problems with Curved Spatial Grids.
(2015)
The method of characteristics (MOC) has been favored for many recent whole core transport codes; some current research codes are: the nTRACER code from Seoul National University, the MPACT code from the University of ...
Role of Shape in the Self-Assembly of Anisotropic Colloids.
(2015)
Self-assembly is the process of spontaneous organization of a set of interacting components. We examine how particle shape drives the self-assembly of colloids in three different systems.
When particles interact only via ...
Probing Spin-Independent WIMP-Nucleon Interactions with the PandaX-I Detector.
(2015)
A dark matter relic density remaining from the Big Bang is believed to be permeating our Universe in the form of dark matter particles. It is likely that these relics could be detected in Earth-based experiments, prompting ...
Plasma Discharges in Gas Bubbles in Liquid Water: Breakdown Mechanisms and Resultant Chemistry.
(2015)
The use of atmospheric pressure plasmas in gases and liquids for purification of liquids has been investigated by numerous researchers, and is highly attractive due to their strong potential as a disinfectant and sterilizer. ...
Measurement of W+W- Production in pp Collisions at s = 8 TeV and Probing Anomalous Triple-Gauge-Boson Couplings with the ATLAS Detector.
(2015)
This thesis presents the measurement of the vector boson pair W^+W^- production cross section in proton-proton collisions at the center-of-mass energy sqrt(s) = 8 TeV. The leptonic decay channels of the WW+ll for l=(e,mu) ...
Coherent Combining of Optical Pulses in Spatial, Spectral and Time Domains.
(2015)
Petawatt-level laser pulses have many potential applications in science and industry, but will require three orders of magnitude increase in pulse repetition rate from existing solid-state laser technology. Fiber lasers ...
Angular‐ and polarization‐independent structural colors based on 1D photonic crystals
(CRC PressWiley Periodicals, Inc., 2015-05)
Wide‐angle, polarization‐independent structural reflective colors from both directions based on a one‐dimensional photonic crystal are demonstrated. Our device produces a distinct and saturated color with high angular ...
From Point Defects to Ripples: Ultrafast Laser Induced High Spatial Frequency Laser Induced Periodic Surface Structures.
(2015)
The interaction between multiple intense ultrashort laser pulses and solids universally produces a regular surface corrugation. We have identified a coupled mechanism that operates in a specific range of fluences in ...
Magneto-Rayleigh-Taylor Instability: Theory and Simulation in Planar and Cylindrical Pulsed Power Targets.
(2015)
Cylindrical liner implosions in the Magnetized Liner Inertial Fusion (MagLIF) concept are susceptible to the magneto-Rayleigh-Taylor instability (MRT). The danger of MRT enters in two phases, (1) during the main implosion, ...
Top-Down Etched Site-Controlled InGaN/GaN Quantum Dots.
(2015)
Quantum technologies such as quantum communication and computation may one day revolutionize the landscape of communication and computing industry, which so far has been largely based on the classical manipulation of the ...
