Spring 2015
The conventional, single band Hubbard model captures the dynamics that arise in strongly correlated electron systems in the competition between electron transport and local Coulomb interactions. However, some of the important physics of real lattices is overlooked by its simplicity. The dynamic...

Calculation of Bulk Material Electronic Band Structure Using Matrix Mechanics: A Pedagogical Approach
DownloadFall 2016
We present a method, intended primarily for pedagogical purposes, to extend the one-dimensional Kronig-Penney model (the standard starting point for solid-state physics) to the case of arbitrary potential shapes and to higher dimensions using matrix mechanics. We generate, either analytically or...

Fall 2010
Electro-transmittance of molecular junctions was characterized electrically and studied optically at 410nm and 532nm. Between 1kHz and 100kHz there was no qualitative difference between the control samples and the molecular junction samples, however there were difficulties with reproducibility of...

Fall 2009
In this thesis, we have analyzed one-dimensional fermion-spin interactions in the dilute limit. The two cases we analyze represent different paradigms. For the first part, we look at the existence of “spins” for all sites as an effective model to describe the rearrangement of core electrons...

Spring 2010
The procedure for milling micrometre scale cantilevers of lutetium iron garnet using a focused ion beam microscope was developed. The infrastructure to study these cantilevers using rotational hysteresis loops and ferromagnetic resonance experiments was set up. The cantilevers were shown to...

Spring 2015
Optomechanics, the sensing of mechanical movement using optical modes, has seen great advancement in recent years and has been used for its high displacement sensitivity to couple to a variety of mechanical devices. Torsional devices have historically been used for measuring de Haas-van Alphen...

Nanofabrication Methods Towards a Photonically-Based Torque Magnetometer for Measurement of Individual Single-Crystalline Yttrium-Iron-Garnet Microstructures
DownloadSpring 2012
This thesis describes preparation and nanofabrication of single crystalline yttrium-iron-garnet (YIG) for the purposes of ultra-clean torque magnetometry, as well as the design, fabrication, and testing of photonic crystal-based nanoelectromechanical systems for sensing applications. A focused...

Fall 2013
Phase retrieval in the transmission electron microscope offers the unique potential to collect quantitative data regarding the electric and magnetic properties of materials at the nanoscale. Substantial progress in the field of quantitative phase imaging was made by improvements to the technique...

Study of Exchange Bias and Interfacial Coupling Effects in a Micromagnetic Thin Film Bilayer
DownloadFall 2022
Exchange bias and interfacial coupling effects in thin-film bilayers of magnetic materials were investigated during the period July, 2018, to Sep, 2021. Thin films of permalloy and cobalt oxide were deposited, in the form of micrometer size bilayer disks, on doubly-clamped nanomechanical...

The Criteria For The Number Of Bound States with l = 0 for A Non-relativistic Single-Particle Potential
DownloadFall 2014
We have studied some criteria for bound state energies in the non-relativistic regime by using the 3D Schrodinger equation. In relations with these criteria, we examined: The number of bound states, the critical conditions, eigenvalues, and infinite versus finite number of eigenvalues, and the...
