Title: Dynamic aerosol and dynamic air-water interface curvature effects on a 2-Gbit/s free-space optical link using orbital-angular-momentum multiplexing
Author: Gbur, Greg, Song, Haoqian, Zhang, Runzhou, Hu, Nanzhe
Date Created: 2022
Subjects--Topical: Physics, Optics
Description: When an orbital-angular-momentum (OAM) beam propagates through the dynamic air-water interface, the aerosol above the water and the water surface curvature could induce various degradations (e.g., wavefront distortion, beam wandering, scattering, ...

Title: Evaluation of curved surfaces with x-ray reflectometry
Author: Cole, Jacob
Date Created: 2022
Subjects--Topical: Mechanical engineering, Physics
Description: This dissertation presents a body of work developing novel models and methods for surface evaluation with X-ray reflectometry (XRR). At the time of this work, XRR is a highly used tool for the measurement of flat wafers and laminated semiconductor...

Title: Femtosecond Laser-Induced Breakdown of Monolayer Molybdenum Disulfide
Author: Solomon, Joel
Date Created: 2022
Subjects--Topical: Optics, Materials science, Physics
Description: Two-dimensional materials such as graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have been extensively studied due to their extraordinary electronic and optoelectronic properties. In particular, monolayer semiconductor TMDs such as MoS2, WS2...

Title: Implementing and Characterizing a Quantum Divide and Conquer Variational Quantum Algorithm
Author: Gray, Alexander
Date Created: 2022
Subjects--Topical: Physics, Quantum theory
Description: The current landscape of quantum computing devices consists of Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) devices, which contain around 100 or less qubits and are not fault-tolerant or error correcting. Due to the physical limitations of these device...

Title: Light-assisted drying (LAD) for anhydrous preservation of biologics: processing sample volumes comparable to a therapeutic dose
Author: Furr, Daniel
Date Created: 2022
Subjects--Topical: Physics
Description: Protein-based products have been developed to treat a range of conditions and are used in vaccines and assays. A challenge in the development of these products is maintaining the protein in the folded state during processing and storage. The most ...

Title: Massive parallel sorting of particles using unwound polygonal vortex beams
Author: Gbur, Greg
Date Created: 2022
Subjects--Topical: Physics, Optics
Description: Optical sorting, as one kind of optical tweezers, is used to separate mixed particles in a background environment. This unusual tool has a wide application prospect because the non-contact and non-destructive advantages ideally suit the pressing n...

Title: Photo-induced macro/mesoscopic scale ion displacement in mixed-halide perovskites : ring structures and ionic plasma oscillations
Author: Zhang, Y. (Yong), 1960-, Sun, Xiaoxiao, Ge, Weikun
Date Created: 2022
Subjects--Topical: Ions, Physics
Description: Contrary to the common belief that the light-induced halide ion segregation in a mixed halide alloy occurs within the illuminated area, we find that the Br ions released by light are expelled from the illuminated area, which generates a macro/meso...

Title: Quantifying the Binding Affinities of the PAI-H19Y Mutant of Sleeping Beauty Transposase to DNA
Author: Arango, Maria
Date Created: 2022
Subjects--Topical: Physics
Description: The Sleeping Beauty (SB) transposon system is the leading and only DNA transposon-based gene-delivery vehicle that has been adapted for human gene therapy. The SB system consists of a transposon DNA flanked by inverted terminal repeats (ITRs) and ...
