Probing Heat Transport and Energy Conversion at the Atomic and Single Molecule Scale
(2018)
The study of heat transport and energy conversion constitutes an important subject in modern physics and engineering research. The widely-applied Fourier’s and Planck’s laws have proven to be very useful to describe heat ...
Hsp70 chaperone Proteins and their Interactions with Various Drugs as Studied by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance.
(2011)
Chaperone proteins and their cochaperones are perhaps one of the most intriguing systems for investigation. Ubiquitous in nature, they can be found in every organism and that perhaps is the reason that their sequence shows ...
A Building Block Approach Towards Novel Nonlinear Optical Materials.
(2007)
The purpose of the present research is to develop and apply a building block approach towards the design of novel nonlinear optical materials, capable of exhibiting enhanced Two-Photon Absorption (TPA) behavior. These ...
Pore Characterization of Ultralow-k Dielectric Thin Films Using Positronium Annihilation Spectroscopy.
(2008)
In this thesis, a series of nanoporous ultralow dielectric constant (ULK) thin films fabricated using spin-coating and sacrificial pore generators (degradable porogens embedded in a host matrix) were studied as a function ...
Nonlinear Optical Enhancement from Aggregate and Ensemble Effects in Organic Systems.
(2011)
Organic optoelectronics provide several advantages over traditional Si based systems. These advantages are typically cost, ease of manufacturing, and environmental impact. One area of particular interest in the field of ...
