(2020-08-27)
Permanent magnets are important materials widely used in advanced technologies including electric vehicles, windmills, memory devices, magnetic levitation transportation, and biomedical apparatus. Rare-earth-based compounds ...
INVESTIGATION OF PROTOPORPHYRIN IX AND COPPER CYSTEAMINE NANOPARTICLES TO IMPROVE CURRENT CANCER TREATMENT METHODS
(2020-07-23)
This research is focused on using nanotechnology to improve current cancer treatment methods, particularly photodynamic therapy and chemotherapy. Photodynamic therapy, being a local treatment method with low systemic ...
FIRST-PRINCIPLES STUDIES ON THE PIEZOELECTRICITY AND FERROELECTRICITY OF KNN RELATED MATERIALS
(2020-08-13)
Nowadays, with the increasing environmental concerns, K1-xNaxNbO3 (KNN)-based materials have gained enormous interest and attention as one of the most promising lead-free piezoelectric materials because of their excellent ...
ns2-md0 Post-Transition Metal Oxides for Solar Energy Applications
(2020-08-10)
Meeting the growing global energy demand while mitigating the deterioration of the global climate requires the rapid introduction of clean, renewable, and sustainable fuels. Solar energy output at daytime provides more ...
INVESTIGATION OF NANOSTRUCTURES FOR HIGHLY SENSITIVE SURFACE PLASMON RESONANCE SENSORS
(2020-08-11)
An extensive study of Surface Plasmon Polaritons (SPPs) and their applications has been undertaken in this work. Highly sensitive surface plasmon resonance sensors, made of noble metals, as well as multilayer nanostructures, ...
Toward Background-Free Methods to Search For Majorana Neutrinos in Xenon Gas
(2020-08-11)
Since the observation of double beta decay 33 years ago the search for neu- trinoless double beta decay has been underway. This is due to the fact that a robust observation of neutrinoless double beta decay is currently ...
Multiscale ionospheric electrodynamics and their impacts on the ionosphere-thermosphere system
(2020-08-11)
In this dissertation, multiscale ionospheric electrodynamics at different latitudinal regions and their impacts on the ionosphere and thermosphere (I-T) system have been studied in three aspects. Firstly, impacts of the ...
Observation and analysis of unexplored low-energy electron emission processes revealed using a low-energy positron beam
(2020-08-17)
This dissertation presents measurements of the kinetic energy distributions of low-energy, positron-induced electrons emitted from single-layer of graphene (SLG), highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG), Si, Cu and TiO2 ...
Searching for a Pair-Produced Supersymmetric Top Partner Using Recursive Jigsaw Variables and Boosted Decision Trees with 139 fb⁻¹ of Data From the ATLAS Detector
(2020-07-21)
The Standard Model of Particle Physics is the most comprehensive theory describing how fundamental particles and three of the four fundamental forces are related. However, the Standard Model is known to be an incomplete ...
