Progress towards a quantum dot photovoltaic : nanocrystal deposition on structured titanium dioxide nanotubes
(Vanderbilt University. Dept. of Physics & Astronomy, 2008-04)
While this project did not successfully produce a working photovoltaic device, significant progress has been made in the individual components of the system. This thesis describes two of those components: fabrication of ...
Data Logistics and the CMS Analysis Model
(Vanderbilt University. Dept. of Physics and Astronomy, 2009-04-20)
The Compact Muon Solenoid Experiment (CMS) at the Large Hadron
Collider (LHC) at CERN has brilliant prospects for uncovering new
information about the physical structure of our universe. Soon
physicists around the world ...
High-energy attosecond-width electron diffraction simulations
(Vanderbilt University. Department of Physics and Astronomy, 2013-04-22)
Electron microscopy has been the recent subject of molecular imaging
due to the strength of the electrons' interaction with the target
molecule making for a detailed pattern at a small scale.[1] To achieve
the best 4D ...
Ps2- in a magnetic field : structure and stability in the M=0 state.
(Vanderbilt University. Dept. of Physics and Astronomy, 2016-05-02)
The energy of the Ps2- (three electrons and two positrons or vice versa) system and all possible fragmentations are calculated in a magnetic field in their M=0 states using the stochastic variational method with a deformed ...
First observation of the direct detection of positive D-meson into anti-K-long + 3 pions and negative D-meson into K-long + 3 pions with the Fermilab FOCUS experiment
(Vanderbilt University. Department of Physics and Astronomy, 2014-04)
In this thesis the decays of positive D-mesons into neutral anti-K-mesons and
three charged pions and of negative D-mesons into neutral K-mesons and three
charged pions are reconstructed in both long and short neutral ...
Thermal fabrication of gold nanocages
(Vanderbilt University. Department of Physics and Astronomy, 2011-04-11)
The purpose of this research project was to test and characterize a new method
for gold nanoparticle production. The main idea was based on the preliminary
observations made in earlier work, which had suggested that small ...
