(University of Oregon, 2020-02-27)The International Panel on Climate Change has made it clear that drastic action is required in order to prevent warming of global average temperatures from reaching 1.5-2.0 °C above the pre-industrial average. If this is ...

(University of Oregon, 2011-12)Low-dimensional electronic systems, systems that are restricted to single energy levels in at least one of the three spatial dimensions, have attracted considerable interest in the field of thermoelectric materials. At ...

(University of Oregon, 2009-12)State of the art semiconductor materials engineering provides the possibility to fabricate devices on the lower end of the mesoscopic scale and confine only a handful of electrons to a region of space. When the thermal ...

(University of Oregon, 2010-12)Quantum dots are systems in which all three spatial sizes are comparable to the Fermi wavelength. The strong confinement leads to a discrete energy spectrum. A goal of thermoelectric research is to find a system with a ...

(University of Oregon, 2022-10-04)Quantum entanglement is arguably the one feature that decisively distinguishes quantum from classical physics, and thus plays a crucial role both in understanding the fundamental nature of reality, and in providing advantages ...

(University of Oregon, 2016-10-27)The standard model (SM) of particle physics is a well studied theory, but there are hints that the SM is not the final story. What the full picture is, no one knows, but this thesis looks into three methods useful for ...

(University of Oregon, 2008-06)Brownian ratchets generate transport at the micron scale with the help of thermal motion. The Brownian ratchet studied here is the flashing ratchet which transports particles by switching on and off a spatially asymmetric, ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2016-02-23)In a semiconductor, negative charge is carried by conduction-band electrons and positive charge is carried by valence-band holes. While charge transport properties can be understood by considering the motion of these ...

(University of Oregon, 2016-11-21)We present a theoretical analysis of surface-plasmon-mediated mode-coupling in a planar thin film metal/insulator stack. The spatial overlap of a surface plasmon polariton (SPP) and a waveguide mode results in a Fano ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2023-03-24)This dissertation presents two searches for signals of dark matter in an integrated luminosity of 139 ifb of proton-proton collision data collected at a center of mass energy of $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2011-06)Electron spins form a two-level quantum system in which the remarkable properties of quantum mechanics can be probed and utilized for many applications. By learning to manipulate these spins, it may be possible to construct ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2022-02-18)Force networks are an essential element to understanding the behaviors of jammed packings. As such, the Force Network Ensemble was formulated to describe the space of all possible force networks for a packing. In this work ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2013-10-10)We look at the problem of verifying optical entanglement for two types of states relevant to quantum information processing. One type occurs in Hong-Ou-Mandel interference and is relevant to quantum computing. The other ...
