(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)Despite the study of shock wave compression of condensed matter for over 100 years, scant progress has been made in understanding the microscopic details. This thesis explores microscopic phenomena in shock compression of ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)In this thesis, we study the effects of interparticle interactions on the optical spectrum of cold gases. We first consider homogenous gas in the weak excitation regime and find that the optical spectrum of a system of ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Both high index-contrast (HIC) photonic crystals and HIC microphotonic circuits are presented in this thesis. Studies of macro-scale 2D photonic crystal meta-materials are first described. Through comparison of experimental ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)The spectroscopic technique Impulsive Stimulated Scattering (ISS) was refined and used to study the complex structural relaxation dynamics of glass forming liquids, allowing both empirical modeling and testing of the ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)This thesis describes experiments with superfluid spin mixtures of ultracold fermionic 6Li atoms. The properties of the strongly interacting gas are studied in the crossover regime between Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Particles have tremendous potential as astronomical messengers, and conversely, studying the universe as a whole also teaches us about particle physics. This thesis encompasses both of these research directions. Many models ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Deep inelastic scattering unambiguously measures hadron observables characterizing the quark-gluon structure of hadrons. The only way to calculate these observables from first principles is lattice QCD. Experiments measure ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)The DIII-D phase contrast imaging (PCI) diagnostic has been upgraded and used to measure turbulence in the outer plasma region (0.7 < r/a < 1). These upgrades extended its operational range to high frequencies (10 kHz - ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Different experiments on strongly correlated materials have shown phenomena which are not consistent with our conventional understandings. We still do not have a general framework to explain these properties. Developing ...
