(Wiley Periodicals, Inc.Springer, 2015-05)
Spatio-temporal Spectra and Spectral Transfers in Fluid Dynamics.
(2015)
Motivated in part by interest in low-frequency variability in complicated flows such as the ocean or atmosphere but also by a general interest in the spatio-temporal structure of turbulent flows, we investigate two-dimensional ...
Energy Transport in Organic Photovoltaics.
(2015)
Organic photovoltaics (OPV) have the potential to be a flexible and low-cost form of carbon-neutral energy production. However, many of the underlying physical mechanisms that dictate the behavior of OPVs remain frustratingly ...
Towards Molecular Control and Rational Design of Molecules with Enhanced Entangled Two-Photon Absorption.
(2015)
We utilize entangled photons to carry out nonlinear optical spectroscopy in organic molecules with an extremely small number of photons. While much research has been devoted to utilizing quantum mechanics and quantum ...
Nonlinear Optical Methods for Noninvasive Analytics.
(2015)
To date, many of the current tools and technologies used to explore biophysical processes and phenomena are limited in part by their inability to probe without external perturbation. Factors such as size restrictions, ...
Topological Phases of Matter: Classification, Realization and Application.
(2015)
The recent discovery of topological insulators has led to a tremendous interest in the exploration of topological phases of matter which do not fit into Landau's symmetry breaking paradigm. Numerous exotic topological ...
Chasing Charge Transfer in Organic Systems.
(2015)
Charge transfer processes are important in biology, chemistry, and physics. Redox reactions, photosynthesis, the Krebs cycle, and most solar energy harvesting systems depend on intermolecular charge transfer. Improved ...
Atom Trapping and Spectroscopy in Cavity-Generated Optical Potentials.
(2015)
In this thesis I study atom trapping in GHz-deep optical lattices, generated by an in-vacuum near-concentric optical cavity at 1064~nm, to perform experiments on cold Rydberg atoms. In contemporary atomic physics, cold ...
