The proposed research is a study and application of Stochastic analysis- Random Matrix Theory(RMT) to fast calculate the transport properties of large static systems with relatively large disorder in mesoscopic size. As a ...

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) possess a unique set of electrical and mechanical properties and have been used in a variety of applications. In this thesis, we explore strategies to functionalize CNTs as well as applications which ...

Fullerenes and other nanocarbon materials such as carbon nanotubes possess interesting chemical and physical properties. In this thesis, we explore various functionalization methods for nanocarbon materials and their ...

Introduction: Complete understanding of the mechanisms of biological processes, indispensable for the rational design and testing of therapeutic strategies, can be greatly facilitated by easy and rapid access to macromolecular ...

Advances in our understanding of cellular function and signal transduction have resulted in ever increasing number of therapeutical targets and, consequently, underscored a demand for simple and universally applicable ...

The reaction matrix of multichannel quantum defect theory, K, gives a complete picture of the electronic structure and the electron - nuclear dynamics for a molecule. The reaction matrix can be used to examine both bound ...

In this thesis, we present experimental methods and results of tabletop generation of high power single-cycle and frequency-tunable multiple-cycle terahertz (THz) pulses pumped with near-infrared ultrashort optical pulses ...

The radicals nitric oxide and superoxide are produced endogenously by activated macrophages and neutrophils and combine in a diffusion-limited reaction to form peroxynitrite, a powerful oxidizing and nitrating agent capable ...

Poly(phenylene-ethynylene) (PPE), a fully conjugated polymer system, exhibits high solution state quantum yields, narrow emission profiles, and wide band gaps allowing for blue emission, making them ideal candidates for ...
