Exploring the versatility of lead sulfide quantum dots in low-temperature, solution-processed solar cells
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
Solution processability and optoelectronic tunability makes lead sulfide quantum dots (PbS QDs) promising candidates for low-temperature, solution-processed thin film solar cells. Central to this thesis is the crucial role ...
Advances in oxygen-17 NMR for biological structure determination
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
The determination of the structures of biological systems, such as, fibril-forming peptides and proteins, membrane proteins, and viruses, by solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy has materialized as an ...
Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance investigations of the influenza M2 protein : structure and dynamics characterization of channel gating and conduction
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (ssNMR) spectroscopy is a powerful technique that can be used to probe the structure and dynamics of biomolecules that are intractable to study by other structural biology methods. ...
Application of RMT-RNN improved decomposition onto defected system
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
This thesis is about the study and application of a stochastic optimization algorithm - Random Matrix Theory coupled with Neural Networks (RMT-RNN) to large static systems with relatively large disorder in mesoscopic ...
Membrane and membrane protein dynamics studied with time-resolved infrared spectroscopy
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
Proteins are the machinery of the cell, performing functions essential for life. Proteins do not operate in isolation, however. Their function is intimately coupled to their environment; changes in this environment modulate ...
