(University of Oregon, 2020-12-08)Quantum mechanics cements the intimate relationship between the nature of light and its detection. Historically, quantum theories of photodetection have generally fallen into two categories: the first tries to determine ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2020-09-24)In the quest to probe the nanoscale, new materials have been discovered. One of these materials is graphene, a sheet of carbon a single atom thick. An especially exciting application of graphene is its use in thermal ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2021-09-13)Here I present studies for the manipulation of free electrons using materialholograms and the application of holographically structured electrons in interferometry. The research in this dissertation can be divided into two ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2023-07-06)For well over a century, neuroscientists have been studying the inherent ties between neuronal morphology and functionality. Santiago Ramón y Cajal, in his work that ultimately awarded him a Nobel Prize in 1906, established ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2008-09)We report on a study of the invariant mass spectrum of the hadronic system in à - [arrow right] à - à 0 à à à à à ½ à decays. This study was performed using data obtained with the ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2022-02-18)Fully quantum mechanical models for device models of single photon detectors have recently been developed. Detection of single/few photons in both inanimate devices and biological eyes have the universal structure of ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2009-12)This thesis reports on progress made toward realizing strong cavity quantum electrodynamics coupling in a novel micro-cavity operating close to the hemispherical limit. Micro-cavities are ubiquitous wherever the aim is ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2022-10-04)The search for physics beyond the Standard Model is a daunting task. As parameter spaces for compelling models shrink, there is motivation for more radical concepts. However, there is a need for understanding the structure ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2013-07-11)Magnetic films have gained great attention for decades because of their broad industrial application. Their modern functionality more and more relies on their domain structure. Magnetic films usually form complex domain ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2020-12-08)Retinal degenerative diseases (RDDs), which cause the gradual death of rods and cones in the retina, impact millions of people all over the world, yet there are few clinically viable treatments and no cure. Multi-electrode ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2019-01-11)Electron microscopes offer scientists an invaluable tool in probing matter at a very small scale. Rapid advancements over the past several decades has allowed electron microscopes to routinely image samples at the ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2010-09)Supernovae Ia are viable standard candles for measuring cosmological distances because of their enormous light output and similar intrinsic brightness. However, dispersion in intrinsic brightness casts doubt on the overall ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2020-09-24)Neuroscientists do not fully understand why neurons acquire their morphology and specific dendritic structure. This is important knowledge because the shape of neurons is connected to the health and computational power of ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2020-12-08)As work progresses towards a useful quantum computer using various physical implementations, it seems likely that no single physical system can fully realize all necessary requirements for a large scale, interfaced, stable ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2020-02-27)The microbial communities of animal intestines are composed of dozens to hundreds of species and play important roles in host development, health and disease. Due to the complexity of these communities, the determinants ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2018-04-10)Nearly all individual members of the animal kingdom have gastrointestinal tracts which feature unique cellular compositions, geometries, and temporal dynamics. These guts are distinct enough from one another, even across ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2020-12-08)Microbes have been found to inhabit a myriad of natural and artificial environments on earth, many of which are chemically complex and physically anisotropic – such as wet soils, the oceans, or mammalian guts. In order ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2016-02-23)Every animal harbors a large community of microbes, the microbiota. Of particular importance is the intestinal microbiota, which plays a crucial role in the development and homeostasis of its animal host. Over the last ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2019-04-30)All animals harbor microorganisms that interact with each other and with their hosts. These microorganisms play important roles in health, disease, and defense against pathogens. The microbial communities in the intestine ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2022-10-04)Quantum-enhanced electron imaging promises highly efficient, low-damage transmission electron microscopy, transforming high-resolution imaging of samples affected by beam irradiation. One proposed quantum protocol for ...
