In this thesis we have combined the idea of cluster expansion and path integration to develop the quantum version of cluster and virial expansion. We derive a diagrammatic series expansion for different thermodynamic quantities like free...
In transition metal oxides, such as A2B2O7, the B-site cations typically govern many of the fundamentally and technologically interesting properties. The cubic pyrochlore oxides, A2B2O7, have attracted much attention over the past 20...
Semiconductor spintronics is widely regarded as a viable pathway to overcome many of the physical limitations of the present micro-electronics technology. Electrical spin injection into a semiconductor, coherent transport and...
Controlled growth of the aromatic p-phenylene oligomer molecules of p-4P, p-5P, and p-6P adsorbed onto individual KBr(001), KCl(001), NaCl(001), and NaF(001) substrates, has been investigated primarily by x-ray diffraction (XRD) and to a...
Detailed Spectroscopic Study of the High-Spin Structures in ¹⁶⁸,¹⁶⁹,¹⁷⁰,¹⁷¹W and ¹⁹⁶Hg and a Systematic Examination of Nuclear Structure Behavior of Rare-Earth Isotopes in the A≈160−180 Region
High-spin states in the rare-earth nuclei $^{168, 169, 170, 171}$W (Z=74) were produced via fusion evaporation reactions carried out at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) using the Argonne Tandem Linear Accelerator System (ATLAS). An...
Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy is a powerful tool to elucidate the structure and dynamics of membrane proteins and protein-lipid interactions. High magnetic fields increase EPR sensitivity and broaden its practice...
We study the two-dimensional (2D) t−J model (and its extensions) in order to understand the hole dynamics in the 2D CuO2 plane of the cuprate superconductors. Within the linear spin wave approximation (LSW) of the Hamiltonian and the non...
Cryo-electron microscopy (or cryoEM) is a rapidly expanding field with many research groups developing new methods and hardware every day. cryoEM is now on its way to replace X-ray crystallography as the method of choice to study...
Physicist and Nobel laureate Richard Feynman once famously said, It is very easy to answer many fundamental biological questions; you just look at the thing! [8]. Researchers have been trying for years to develop appropriate methods to...
