A path integral Monte Carlo investigation of the role of defects in ordered 4He systems has been conducted. We find that interstitial defects in two- and three-dimensional solid 4He can lead to a small but non-zero superfluid fraction, ...
This dissertation is a theoretical and computational examination of structural, electronic and magnetic properties of complex transition metal oxide structures. Our work is motivated by experimental observations that transition metal...
In this study three projects are described that investigate the transport properties of the ferromagnetic semiconductor, EuS, as well as devices based on the half metal, CrO2. These materials are expected to be highly spin-polarized...
Electrostatic interactions play an important role in many aspects of the structural and functional properties of biomolecules because of their long-range behavior. The nonlinear Poisson-Boltzmann equation (NLPBE) theory has long been...
Liquid crystal phases exhibit physical characteristics that lie between those of liquid and crystal phases. The many liquid crystal sub-phases are defined based on the degree of positional and orientational ordering the molecules have...
Wavelength tunability or bandgap tuning of mixed halide perovskite, CsPb(IxBry)3 (y=1-x), can be achieved by changing the composition of iodide and bromide ions but under continuous illumination the photoluminescence (PL) peak position...
A relatively new and promising field in tissue engineering technology is the microgel scaffold. These scaffolds have been used recently to provide physiologically relevant research, and to culture cells in environments amicable to their...
We have studied the effect of diffusion on the dynamics of desorption on a lattice-gas model The chemical potential during the adsorption phase was varied in order to vary the initial size distribution for the desorption phase. The...
Phthalocyanine and its numerous derivatives have long been a focus of vast research efforts in various areas of chemistry, physics, and engineering. A large part of this research paralleled the studies of porphyrins, which are well known...
The Poisson-Boltzmann equation, PBE, the linearized PBE, LPBE, and generalized Born, GB, model are implicit solvent methods that accelerate biophysical calculations by eliminating the need to integrate across the solvent's degrees of...
A study has been carried out on F-actin self-assembly to address various questions regarding the mechanisms for assembly and the properties of the assembled system. We are interested in two Factin self-assembly mechanisms, counter-ion...
