(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)A 10 liter prototype Dark Matter Time Projection Chamber (DMTPC) is operated on the surface of the earth at 75 Torr using carbon-tetrafluoride (CF4) as a target material to obtain a 24.57 gram-day exposure. A limit is set ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)This thesis presents an ab initio study of biological molecules using first-principles molecular dynamics. Density functional theory and Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics are used in the computational modeling of the water ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)The Levitated Dipole Experiment (LDX) is a joint Columbia University/MIT research collaboration sited at MIT's Plasma Science and Fusion Center. LDX is investigating the physics of a plasma confined in a dipole magnetic ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)For most of its 60 year history, the Casimir effect was an obscure theoretical backwater, but technological advances over the past decade have promoted this curious manifestation of quantum and thermal fluctuations to a ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)We present theoretical and numerical methods for studying Casimir forces and nonlinear frequency conversion in nanophotonic media consisting of arbitrary geometries and materials. The first section of the thesis focuses ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)In this thesis, we investigate the implications of fluctuations in systems away, possibly even far, from equilibrium due to their motion either in or out of thermal equilibrium. This subject encompasses several topics in ...
