(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1986)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)In this thesis, we explore aspects of fermionic superfluidity through a mean-field approximation. Our framework is extremely general, includes both pairing and Hartree-Fock contributions, and is derived rigorously from a ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)The AdS/CFT correspondence has provided a new tool to investigate strongly correlated systems in condensed matter physics. This thesis presents the computation of retarded fermion Green functions at finite density and zero ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)A prismless Cr4+:YAG laser was used to generate 20 fs pulses at 1450 nm with a bandwidth of 190 nm FWHM. Intracavity group velocity dispersion was compensated with double-chirped mirrors. Pulse spectrum was observable from ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Atomic ion traps are are excellent tools in atomic physics for studying single ions. Accurate measurement of the ion's electronic state in these ion traps is required by both atomic clocks and quantum computation. Quantum ...

-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)A field emitter serves as a cold source of electrons. It has practical applications in various fields such as field emission flat panel displays, multiple electron-beam lithography, ion propulsion/micro-thrusters, radio ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)This thesis aims at better understanding of the tokamak pedestal, which is a defining feature of the so-called "High Confinement Mode" or "H Mode" of tokamak operation. This region is characterized by a drastic plasma ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1994)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)The HETE satellite became operational on the 2nd of February, 2001. In the first 2.5 years of the mission prior to July 1 of 2003, 42 Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) were promptly localized and publicized over the GRB Coordinates ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1955)
-
(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 ...
