(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Photoluminescent energy transfer in conjugated polymer-dye blend films was studied by means of steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy in order to identify efficient energy acceptors with red-shifted emissions relative to ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)This thesis explores the spectroscopic properties of phonon-polaritons, which are admixtures of coupled electromagnetic and mechanical vibrations in polar crystals. An in-depth theoretical treatment supplemented with ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)A monoanionic, tetradentate [beta]-diketiminate (BDI) ligand with pendant quinoline arms, BDIQQH was coordinated to Pt(II) to yield the square-planar complex [Pt(BDIQQ)]CI. This complex was characterized by NMR spectroscopy, ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)The incorporation of semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) into sol-gel derived matrices presents both novel applications as well as a robust platform in which to investigate the nonlinear optical properties of NCs. This thesis ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) have tunable opto-electronic properties and can be chemically synthesized and manipulated with ease, making them a promising novel material for many diverse applications. An understanding ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)This thesis contains the foundational work behind the field of polaritonics. Corresponding to a frequency range from roughly 100 gigahertz up to 10 terahertz, polaritonics bridges the gap between electronics and photonics. ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (DNP) is utilized to enhance NMR signal intensities in systems including metals, ceramics, polymers and biological solids. The enhancement results from polarization transfers from unpaired ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Ion channels are essential mediators in nervous signaling pathways. Because hyperactivation of ion channels can lead to pathological disorders such as congenital myasthenic syndromes and neurodegeneration, channel inhibitors ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)This thesis details the development of new synthetic methods for making polymers with complex molecular structures. Calix[4]arenes and triptycenes are the two major molecular building blocks for constructing the functional ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)The incorporation of molecular structures such as shape persistent molecular frameworks, strong hydrogen bond donor groups or perfluoro-alkyl groups can result in considerable gains in the performance of some established ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Conjugated polymers have shown remarkable sensitivity for the detection of a variety of analytes, ranging from explosives to biological molecules such as DNA. This thesis presents three new applications of poly(phenylene ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)Polyisoprenyl-dependent glycan assembly pathways form the basis for the biosynthesis of many complex glycoconjugates. This thesis addresses key aspects of undecaprenyl-phosphate related processes; undecaprenol is the linear ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)In preparation for performing a triple resonance experiment to study the Rydberg states of calcium monofluoride (CaF), a double resonance spectrum of formaldehyde will be recorded. A dye laser will populate a level in ...
