(Vanderbilt University. Dept. of Physics and Astronomy, 2011-04)The study of living specimens is essential to the understanding of organismal behavior. Unfortunately, a major difficulty in the study of live organisms is that many move in and out of the field of view or focal plane ...
-
(Vanderbilt University. Dept. of Physics and Astronomy, 2011-04)Finite element modeling was performed using COMSOL Multiphysics to study the thermal dynamics of gold::vanadium dioxide (VO$_{2}$) nanocomposites. These simulations were done to understand the data from transient ...

Influence of patient size on dose to female breast tissue during routine computed tomography scans (Vanderbilt University. Dept. of Physics & Astronomy, 2008-04-21)Monte Carlo methods are well suited to the evaluation of radiation transport phenomena. The scalable phantoms employed in this project permitted rapid creation of three models of similar geometry, but different body habitus. ...

(Vanderbilt University. Dept. of Physics and Astronomy, 2010-04)Enclosed microfluidic devices provide excellent systems for the study of biological processes such as cell-cell, paracrine, and autocrine signaling systems. By minimizing the fluid volume within the chambers, ...
-
(Vanderbilt University. Dept. of Physics and Astronomy, 2009-04-20)A retarding mesh analyzer was used to measure the electron energy spectrum field emitted from a single tip of a Diamond Field Emitter Array. The emission was dominated by adsorbed gas atoms and molecules on the surface ...
-
(Vanderbilt University. Dept. of Physics and Astronomy, 2009-04-20)Precise control of fluid delivery in analytical devices may be achieved by harnessing electroosmotic flow (EOF) in oxidized poly(dimethylsiloxane) microfluidic channels fabricated via soft lithography. However, the ...
-
(Vanderbilt University. Dept. of Physics and Astronomy, 2010-04-27)Current models of nuclear structure describe nuclear states in terms of collective vibrations and rotations of a ground state. - One such quadrupole vibrational band is the gamma-band formed by vibrations of the short ...
-
(Vanderbilt University. Dept. of Physics and Astronomy, 2011-04)I develop a perturbation theory for resonant frequency shifts caused by thin layer of material added to dielectric systems. This development can be used to effectively model photonic surface-sensing systems, which use ...
-
(Vanderbilt University. Dept. of Physics and Astronomy, 2012-05-04)Density functional theory is utilized in real-time, real-space simulations of LEED measurements and attosecond electron scattering. For LEED measurements, we find that our simulation results agree well with experimental ...
-
(Vanderbilt University. Dept. of Physics & Astronomy, 2008-04-18)Confocal scanning laser microscopy and multiphoton microscopy provide 3D data from biological specimens, but with limited z-axis precision. Multiple microscale mirrors can be used to obtain more accurate 3D data on living ...
-
(Vanderbilt University. Department of Physics and Astronomy, 2013-04-22)Time Dependent Density Functional Theory is used to probe the structure of matter. Coulomb explosion of small hydrocarbons driven by strong laser pulses and electron holography of molecules are studied in a theoretical ...
