Phenomenological Aspects of Supersymmetry with Heavier Scalars
(2017)
In this dissertation, we will cover aspects of the phenomenology of supersymmetric models, with an emphasis on models with heavier scalar partners of Standard Model fermions. We first introduce the Standard Model, providing ...
Interactions Between Fluorescent Molecules and Plasmonic Nanoparticles: A Super-Resolution Study
(2017)
Single-molecule super-resolution imaging techniques play an increasingly important role in studying complex fine structures, dynamics and interactions in nanoscale confined spaces. The resolution of this technique can be ...
Two-particle Response Functions in Strongly Correlated Electron Systems
(2017)
In this thesis, we use the dynamical cluster approximation to study strongly correlated electron systems, especially from the angle of two-particle quantities, such as dynamical susceptibilities and vertex functions.
The ...
Supersonic, Single-Mode and Dual-Mode Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability Experiments Driven by a Laser-Produced Shockwave
(2017)
We developed a novel experimental platform that utilizes a laser-produced shockwave to study the evolution of hydrodynamic instabilities in a steady, supersonic (compressible) flow, from precision-machined and well-characterized ...
Optical Measurements of Strong Radio-Frequency Fields Using Rydberg Atoms
(2017)
There has recently been an initiative toward establishing atomic measurement standards for field quantities, including radio-frequency, millimeter-wave, and micro-wave electric fields. Current measurement standards are ...
Dynamics of Passively Coupled Continuous-Wave and Mode-Locked Lasers
(2017)
This thesis focuses on theoretical and numerical investigation of the dynamics of coupled lasers and laser arrays, specifically through the avenue of two different systems of interest: 1) passive coherent beam combining ...
