Fall 2012
This thesis explores the determination of a few of the fundamental constants of the standard model by employing different methods than those historically used. Modern field theory techniques are applied to the calculation of the α2(Zα)5 corrections to the Lamb shift leading to an increase in the...

High resolution optical tweezers for single molecule studies of hierarchical folding in the pbuE riboswitch aptamer
DownloadSpring 2010
Riboswitches are gene regulatory elements found in messenger RNA that function by changing structure upon the binding of a ligand to an aptamer domain. Single adenine-binding pbuE riboswitch aptamer RNAs were unfolded and refolded co-transcriptionally using optical tweezers for single molecule...

High-power Terahertz Pulse Generation and Nonlinear Terahertz Carrier Dynamics in Semiconductors
DownloadSpring 2015
This thesis describes the generation, characterization, and nonlinear application of intense terahertz (THz) pulses. Nonlinear THz spectroscopy has emerged as a powerful tool to study the ultrafast time evolution of high-field charge carrier dynamics in semiconductors and nano-materials. The...

High-Resolution Imaging of the Mantle Transition Zone beneath Japan from Sparse Receiver Functions
DownloadFall 2012
A new approach to estimate high-resolution receiver functions using a simultaneous iterative time-domain sparse deconvolution is presented. To test its functionality and reliability, several experiments were conducted with synthetic and real seismological data. Furthermore, this technique was...

Fall 2010
This thesis summarizes a study of higher-dimensional distorted objects such as a distorted 5-dimensional Schwarzschild-Tangherlini black hole. It considers a particular type of distortion corresponding to an external, static distribution of matter and fields around this object. The corresponding...
