Between the world of classical and quantum mechanics there lies a region where both are used to provide an accurate (quantum) but computationally tractable (classical) description of motion: semiclassical mechanics. The heart of semiclassical theory is the use of the classical path (or,...

Several series of quaternary chalcogenides were synthesized by high temperature reactions and their crystal structures were determined by X-ray diffraction methods. Differences in electronic structure were examined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray absorption near-edge...

This thesis describes the synthesis of Li-containing intermetallics and chalcogenides using high-temperature solid-state reactions and induction heating, with the aim of studying their structures, electronic properties, and optical properties to gain insights into their potential applications in...

Fall 2018
New ternary and quaternary chalcogenides were synthesized by reactions of elements or binary starting materials at high temperatures, with an emphasis on identifying structures that are noncentrosymmetric which may lead to useful properties such as nonlinear optical behaviour, magnetic ordering,...

Ternary and quaternary germanides containing rare-earth and transition metals are of interest because of their structural diversity and the potential for interactions between f- and d-electrons. Within the Ce–Rh–Ge system, three new ternary phases Ce3Rh11Ge5, CeRh5Ge3, and CeRh3Ge2 were prepared...
