Extending electronic devices beyond the limitations of current micro-electronics manufacturing will require detailed knowledge of how to make contacts to semiconductor surfaces. In this work, we investigated several methods by which such connections to silicon surfaces could be achieved. Scanning...

The mass susceptibility and associated Curie temperatures were determined for a series of ternary manganese and zinc ferrite nanoparticles (Mn–Zn ferrite NPs) with ratios of Mn:Zn ranging from 0.67-2.33. Variations in the Mn:Zn ratio of these Mn–Zn ferrite nanoparticles largely unaffected the...

Torsional oscillators are well known for their extensive applications ranging from measuring gravity to detecting angular momentum of light. When these torsional resonators scale down, through advanced nanofabrication techniques, the applications extend to measuring quantum effects such as the...

The Devonian Grosmont formation is a huge heavy oil carbonate reservoir located in northeastern Alberta that has an estimated 64.5 x 〖10〗^9 m^3 initial oil in place. This thesis will focus on issues related to the in situ state of stress and the natural fracture statistics within the Grosmont...

This thesis examines 2D Particle-in-Cell (PIC) simulations of a beat-wave interacting with a Near-Critical Density (NCD) plasma to generate an electron beam suitable for radiotherapy. The beat-wave is generated from the co-propagation of an 800nm laser, the primary laser, and a 400nm laser, the...

Seismic events can be characterized by its origin time, location and moment tensor. Fast estimations of these source parameters are important in areas of geophysics like earthquake seismology, and the monitoring of seismic activity produced by volcanoes, mining operations and hydraulic injections...

The PICO-60 experiment offers world leading sensitivity to the spin-dependent WIMP search, looking for the direct measurement of dark matter nuclear recoils with protons. The primary background in moderately super-heated C3F8 bubble chambers are neutrons, which can produce a signal...
