Optical Galaxy Cluster Detection across a Wide Redshift Range.
(2009)
Galaxy clusters can be used as a sensitive probe for cosmology. A large cluster catalog that extends to high redshift with well measured masses is indispensable for precisely constraining
cosmological parameters. Detecting ...
Remote Entanglement of Trapped Atomic Ions.
(2007)
Since the development of quantum mechanics almost a century ago, there has been considerable controversy over the interpretations and predictions of quantum theory. Owing to the counterintuitive predictions of quantum ...
Tuning the Electronic and Magnetic Phases in CaB , PtSb , and Yb Pt .
(2009)
Enabled by the design and synthesis via flux growth of appropriate high quality single crystals, the origins of novel electronic and magnetic phenomena in systems that contain both itinerant carriers and local magnetic ...
Thermoelectric Property Studies on Lead Chalcogenides, Double-filled Cobalt Tri-Antimonide and Rare Earth-Ruthenium-Germanium.
(2008)
Motivated by the energy applications of thermoelectrics (TE) such as power generation
and refrigeration, my research goal is to develop novel materials with high dimensionless
figure-of-merit ZT. Thermoelectric materials ...
Femtosecond Coherent Control of Quantum Systems in Liquid Phase.
(2008)
Femtochemistry is a mature field which now moves beyond observing molecular motion, towards laser control of chemical reactions. In early molecular control experiments success meant simply increasing the reaction yield. ...
An All-Sky Search for Continuous Gravitational Waves.
(2009)
Gravitational radiation is a direct consequence of general relativity, yet to this day only indirect
confirmation of its existence has been obtained.
LIGO is an experiment that aims to detect gravitational waves by comparing ...
Search for W' --> tb in pp Collisions at
(2009)
We present a search for a narrow resonance in the tbbar mass spectrum using 1.9 fb−1 of ppbar collisions at sqrt(s) = 1.96 TeV recorded with the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron. We select events with a lepton, ...
The Full Two-Body-Problem: Simulation, Analysis, And Application To The Dynamics, Characteristics, And Evolution Of Binary Asteroid Systems.
(2009)
The Full Two-Body-Problem (F2BP) describes the dynamics of two unconstrained rigid bodies in close proximity, having arbitrary spatial distribution of mass, charge, or similar field quantity, and interacting through a ...
Cold Rydberg-Atom Interactions
(2008)
Systems of cold, interacting Rydberg atoms are of interest because they exhibit a wide range of collective quantum phenomena. This thesis describes experimental and theoretical work related to these systems with an emphasis ...
Understanding the Importance of an Energy Crisis.
(2009)
Human development and energy, in general, and electrical energy, specifically, co-exist seamlessly in high HDI countries where reliability and availability is greater than 99%. In numerous low HDI countries, there is 2-50% ...
