PREDICTING STABLE CRYSTAL STRUCTURES AND THEIR ELECTRONIC PROPERTIES OF Si-RICH SILICON CARBIDE BY FIRST PRINCIPLE CALCULATION
(2017-06-08)
Silicon carbide has become an attractive semiconductor material with its high stability. It has been used in variety of fundamental aspects and applications such as photovoltaic solar cells due to its unique properties, ...
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 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 ...
Habitability of Stellar Binary Systems
(2017-09-18)
A comprehensive approach is provided to the study of habitable zones (HZs) for both S-type and P-type cases of stellar binary systems for both circular and elliptical orbits of the binary components, based on habitability ...
Searches For The Exclusive Higgs and the Charged Higgs Bosons with the ATLAS Detector at the LHC
(2016-12-06)
In this thesis, searches for the exclusive Standard Model (SM) and charged
hMSSM Higgs bosons are performed. While observations of the SM Higgs boson
in 2012 by ATLAS and CMS collaborations were ground-breaking, several ...
Experimental Studies Of Fundamental Aspects Of Auger Emission Process In Cu(100) And Ag(100)
(Physics, 2014-09-17)
Auger spectra at the low energies are accompanied by large contributions unrelated to the Auger transition. The Auger unrelated contributions can obscure the Auger peak and affect the quantitative analysis of the materials ...
Search For The Standard Model Higgs Boson In eτ Final States
(Physics, 2013-07-22)
Presented in this dissertation is a search for the standard model (SM) Higgs boson using the DØ detector at Fermilab in Batavia, IL. The SM is a fantastically accurate theory describing the fundamental interactions and ...
The Variations Of Geomagnetic Energy And Solar Irradiance And Their Impacts On Earth's Upper Atmosphere
(Physics, 2014-03-10)
The primary energy sources of Earth's upper atmosphere are the solar irradiance and geomagnetic energy including Joule heating and particle precipitation. Various data and models are utilized to investigate the variations ...
Nanoscintillators For Radiation Detection
(Physics, 2013-07-22)
In the search for faster, more effective methods for detection of and protection against radiological weapons, advances in materials for radiation detection are a critical component of any successful strategy. This work ...
Atomic Adsorptions On Actinide Surfaces: Pathways To Nuclear Energy
(Physics, 2013-03-20)
The generalized gradient approximation (GGA) to density functional theory (DFT) and hybrid density functional theory have been used to compute the layer-by-layer properties of γ-uranium (γ-U) in the (100) symmetry. Guided ...
