Numerical investigation of the superfluid transition in low dimensions and in anisotropic systems
DownloadSpring 2023
The main theme of this thesis is the superfluid transition in reduced dimensions and in anisotropic and inhomogeneous systems. Using state-of-the-art computational methodology, we carry out large-scale, numerically exact computer simulations to study this topic, making use of classical and...

Liquid crystalline domains were observed in fractions of heavy petroleum. Through a combination of polarized light microscopy and Photoacoustic Infrared Spectroscopy, liquid crystals were shown to form on the exterior surface of their parent materials. Analysis of materials using Differential...

We numerically study different forms of nanoscale gaseous domains on a model for rough surfaces. Our calculations based on the constrained lattice density functional theory show that the inter-connectivity of pores surrounded by neighboring nanoposts, which model the surface roughness, leads to...

Sowa, Barbara, Zhang, Xuehua, Kozielski, Karen A., Dunstan, Dave E., Hartley, Patrick G., Maeda, Nobuo
We recently reported the development of a high pressure electrical conductivity probe (HP-ECP) for experimental studies of formation of gas hydrates from electrolytes. The onset of the formation of methane-propane mixed gas hydrate from salt solutions was marked by a temporary upward spike in the...
