Modeling Anomalous Electron Transport in a Fluid Hall Thruster Code
(2023)
Hall thrusters are the most widely-used type of in-space electric propulsion device. However, aspects of the physics of their operation remain poorly-understood. Notably, the problem of enhanced cross-field electron transport ...
Mechanobiology of Jamming: From Collective Migration to Mechanically Tunable Hydrogels
(2023)
Cellular unjamming refers to the coordinated fluid-like motion of cells and has significant implications in various biological processes such as development, wound healing, and tumor progression. One of the contexts in ...
Binary Mixtures in Linear Convection Arrays
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc.(Springer Netherlands, 2023-01-03)
We numerically investigated the dynamics of a mixture of finite-size active and passive disks in a linear array of two-dimensional convection rolls. The interplay of advection and steric interactions produces a number of ...
Theory of Lightwave-Driven Quantum Electronics in Solids
(2023)
Lightwave electronics is based on the idea of using the instantaneous field of strong optical waves to drive and sculpt electronic states on ultrafast time scales. By utilizing the oscillation cycle of light, electronic ...
Improving Barotropic Tide Modeling in MPAS-Ocean and Estimating Changes in Future Tides
(2023)
Modeling the ocean is critical for understanding both present and future risks posed by climate change on coastal communities. Ocean tides in these regions will continue to change over the following decades, yet tides are ...
Ultrafast Dynamic Probing of Matter Under Extreme Conditions Using High-Repetition-Rate Laser Wakefield Accelerators
(2023)
This dissertation demonstrates the potential of laser wakefield acceleration (LWFA)-generated relativistic electron beams and X-rays as advanced diagnostics in the realm of high-energy-density physics (HEDP) interactions. ...
Device Physics and Applications of Ternary Organic Photovoltaics
(2023)
Organic photovoltaics (OPVs) are emerging as an attractive candidate for solar energy harvesting due to their advantages in environmental compatibility, low-cost, flexibility and transparency. The past few decades have ...
Estimating the Aging Rate for the Cosmic Ray Veto Detector of the Mu2e Experiment at Fermilab
(2023)
The Mu2e experiment at Fermilab will search for the neutrinoless conversion of a muon to an electron in the presence of an atomic nucleus. An observation of Mu2e conversion is a clear sign of new physics. In order to achieve ...
Constraints and Relations in Driven and Active Diffusions
(2023)
In near-equilibrium thermodynamic systems, the fluctuation-dissipation theorem characterizes the responses of arbitrary observables due to small perturbations in terms of experimentally measurable equilibrium correlation ...
