Multiple reflections of solar radiation and photoelectron emission in satellite interaction with space environment
DownloadFall 2016
This master’s thesis presents a numerical study of the interaction between plasma and spacecraft. The main contribution of my research consists of im- proving the parameterization of solar illumination and the resulting photoelectron emission from satellite surfaces. The simulations are done with...

Multiscale Investigation of the Earth's Internal Structure and Processes Using Seismic Arrays
DownloadFall 2022
The fast expansion of seismic arrays has improved our ability to understand the Earth's internal structure and dynamics at various spatial scales. This thesis applies both conventional and novel approaches to dense array recordings to address major questions in (1) earthquake location and source...

MUTE: A Program for High-Precision Calculations of Underground and Underwater Muon Intensities
DownloadSpring 2024
High-energy atmospheric muons originating from cosmic ray interactions in Earth's atmosphere have played a vital role in the field of astroparticle physics for nearly a century. Because the properties of the muons reflect the primary cosmic rays that produce them, they serve as a unique probe for...

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 2020
Advancements in scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) have enabled atomic-scale lithographic patterning of logic gates, memory, and wires, by selectively passivating hydrogen (H) atoms on a H-terminated silicon (Si) surface. However, atomically fabricated systems encounter challenges of developing...

Nanolithography on H:Si(100)-(2 x 1) using combined Scanning Tunneling Microscopy and Field Ion Microscopy techniques
DownloadFall 2011
This thesis reports on the combined techniques of ultra-high vacuum scanning tunneling microscopy (UHV-STM) and field ion microscopy (FIM). The apex structure of STM scanning tips correlates with their ability to yield highly-resolved images and to perform accurate hydrogen desorption on...

Fall 2018
Nanomechanical torque magnetometry is emerging as a highly-sensitive method for gauging magneto-statics and magnetic dynamics in mesoscopic and nano-scale magnetic materials. Advances in torque magnetometry are presented here, which were unattainable using previ- ous techniques. Silicon nitride...
