Synthesis and Characterization of Nanocomposite Scintillators for Radiation Detection
(2016-05-11)
Inorganic single crystal and organic (plastic and liquid) scintillators are commonly used for radiation detection. Inorganic single crystals are efficient and have better energy resolution compared to organic scintillators. ...
LOW DIMENSIONAL SEMICONDUCTING NANOSTRUCTURES: STABILITY, TRENDS AND PROMISES
(2016-05-10)
Systematic studies of low dimensional semiconducting nanostructures have been performed. In particular, silicon-germanium (SiGe) armchair type nanotubes, and both zigzag and armchair type nanoribbons were used to represent ...
A DETAILED CHANDRA X-RAY STUDY OF THE GALACTIC CORE-COLLAPSE SUPERNOVA REMNANT G292.0+1.8
(2018-09-10)
In this thesis, we describe our detailed analysis of the core-collapse supernova remnant (CCSNR) G292.0+1.8 (G292 hereafter) using data collected by NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory (Chandra). In the first part of this ...
PROSPECTS FOR OBSERVING DYNAMICALLY FORMED BINARY BLACK HOLES IN THE LOCAL UNIVERSE WITH GRAVITATIONAL WAVES
(2018-06-07)
The dynamical evolution of globular clusters is expected to produce stellar-mass binary black holes with higher total mass than found in the field population of binary black holes. Such systems are identified as gravitational ...
A Deep Chandra Study of Galactic Type Ia Supernova Remnant G299.2-2.9
(2017-12-07)
In this thesis we perform a comprehensive analysis of Galactic Type Ia supernova remnant G299.2-2.9. For this study we analyze our deep 628 ks Chandra observation data of G299.2-2.9. G299.2-2.9 has a complex multiple ...
PLASMA-BASED SYNTHESIS OF NANOSTRUCTURED MATERIALS AND THEIR CHARACTERIZATION
(2017-05-02)
The aim of this thesis is to explore the novel cost-effective synthesis technique to develop nanostructured materials and investigate their structural and magnetic properties. Nanomaterials were synthesized by a plasma ...
A STUDY OF THE GEOSPACE RESPONSE TO DYNAMIC SOLAR WIND USING THE LYON-FEDDER-MOBARRY GLOBAL MHD SIMULATION
(2018-05-14)
As the wind from the Sun advances towards Earth, it interacts with Earth’s magnetic field. This solar wind carries with it a magnetic field, called the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF). Energy and momentum are transferred ...
FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE STUDENT PERFORMANCE IN PHYSICS
(2018-04-12)
This study is composed of several projects in the field of physics education research. First, Investigations into flipped physics classrooms at the senior and graduate level show that students uniformly agree that the ...
THE RESPONSE OF IONOSPHERE AND THERMOSPHERE TO THE HIGH LATITUDE ENERGY DEPOSITION
(2018-12-10)
The ionosphere and thermosphere are the important regions in the Earth upper atmosphere. They represent the ionized and neutral particles, respectively. The main external energy sources in those regions are solar radiation ...
A CHANDRA STUDY OF SUPERNOVA REMNANTS IN THE LARGE AND SMALL MAGELLANIC CLOUDS
(2017-05-04)
In the first part of this thesis we measure the interstellar abundances for the elements O, Ne, Mg, Si, and Fe in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), based on the observational data of sixteen supernova remnants (SNRs) in ...
