Chiral Transition Metal Complexes under Resonance: Mechanism of a New Form of Chiral Raman Spectroscopy
DownloadFall 2023
My PhD thesis primarily focuses on exploring chiroptical events and signatures of chiral transition metal complexes when they are under (near) resonance conditions. To achieve this goal, multiple chiroptical spectroscopic techniques were utilized, aided by theoretical calculations. These...

Spring 2014
Several series of quaternary chalcogenides were synthesized by high temperature reactions and their crystal structures were determined by X-ray diffraction methods. Differences in electronic structure were examined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray absorption near-edge...

Exploration of Microscopic Structure and Dynamics in Halide Perovskite and Perovskite−Inspired Materials with Solid-State NMR Spectroscopy
DownloadSpring 2022
The work presented in this thesis describes the synthesis, structure, and optical properties of three different classes of halide-based perovskite materials, namely, metal halide perovskites of ABX3 type, halide double perovskites of A2B'B"X6 type, and “vacancy-ordered perovskites” of A2BX6 type...

High Resolution Spectroscopy of Chirality Recognition and Solvation of Prototype Chiral Molecular Systems
DownloadFall 2014
The chirality recognition, chirality induction, chirality amplification, chirality synchronization and solvation of prototypic chiral molecular systems were studied using chirped pulse and cavity based Fourier transform microwave spectroscopy with the aid of high level ab initio calculations. The...

Interstellar Germanium Dust Molecules: a Computational Study on Their Structure, Spectroscopy, and Detectability; or, One Small Step Down the Periodic Table, One Giant Leap in Interstellar Chemistry
DownloadFall 2024
Alongside observational and experimental work, theoretical and computational research is just as vital to understanding the chemical composition of space. Although more molecules continue to be discovered in space, the molecular structures in which many of the elements in the periodic table exist...

Fall 2012
Thuricin CD, a two-component bacteriocin produced by Bacillus thuringiensis DPC 6431, exhibits potent activity against the hospital superbug Clostridium difficile ribotype O27. The two peptides (Trn-α and Trn-β) that constitute thuricin CD operate synergistically to kill sensitive bacteria at...

The Behaviour and Interactions of the Silica/Water Interface Studied through Nonlinear Optics
DownloadFall 2020
The chemistry of silica in contact with water is rich and diverse. These two substances are among the most ubiquitous on the surface of the Earth. Yet, despite many investigations into the interactions between silica and water, there is still more to discover. In aqueous solution, the silica...
