Investigation of model micro-scale reconnecting plasma modes
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)We numerically and analytically investigate the linear complex mode frequencies of model micro-reconnecting plasma modes which have transverse wavelengths of the order of the electron skin depth c/lwpe. This model mode, ... -
Investigation of non-normal incidence charged-particle response of CR39 nuclear track detectors, with applications in nuclear diagnostics for inertial confinement fusion
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)CR39 is a plastic nuclear track detector used at inertial confinement fusion (ICF) facilities to characterize the energy spectra of fusion products. This thesis presents data collected at MIT's Linear Electrostatic Ion ... -

Investigation of superconducting and non-superconducting phases of Na₀Ì£₃CoO₂·1.3H₂0
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)The discovery of unconventional superconductivity in hydrated Na₀Ì£₃CoO₂·1.3H₂0 has lead to active research work on the material over the last year due to its similarities and possible insight into the high-T[sub]c copper ... -
An investigation of the dynamics of phase transitions in Lennard-Jones fluids
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)This thesis reports the development, validation and application of a method to simulate external heat addition in molecular dynamics simulations of Lennard-Jones fluids. This simulation capability is very important for ... -
An investigation of the mechanics of an actin spring
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)To produce motion, cells rely on the conversion of potential energy into mechanical work. One such example is the dramatic process involving the acrosome reaction of Limulus sperm, whereby a 60-im long bundle of actin ... -

Investigation of the tunneling emitter bipolar transistor as spin-injector into silicon
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)In this thesis is discussed the tunneling emitter bipolar transistor as a possible spin-injector into silicon. The transistor has a metallic emitter which as a spin-injector will be a ferromagnet. Spin-polarized electrons ... -
Investigation of thermal filamentation instability over Gakona, Alaska
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)The thermal filamentation instability has been invoked to explain the formation of parallel plate waveguides in mid-latitude ionospheric plasmas during Arecibo, Puerto Rico heating experiments in 1997. The geometry of the ... -

Investigations of close-in exoplanets : starspot transits, and ultra-short period planets
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)Over the past 20 years, approximately 1700 planets outside of the solar system have been found. Known as exoplanets, they represent a great opportunity to answer some of the deepest questions about the origin and evolution ... -
Investigations of the cascade of Langmuir wave turbulence over HAARP Observatory in Gakona, Alaska
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)This thesis investigates the cascade lines from Langmuir wave turbulence as a result of Parametric Decay Instability (PDI) in the ionosphere. This effect is studied using a high-frequency (HF) heater located at the NSF/DoD ... -
