Bajaj, Saurabh (2012-02-14)Metallic fuels have an important role to play in "fast breeder" Gen-IV type nuclear reactors, and U-Pu-Zr is one of the prototypical systems. Because of the variability in fuel chemistry during burn-up, it is important to ...
-
Kang, Yongmin (2014-11-10)Solid-state thermoelectrics that convert thermal energy into electricity have the potential to increase the efficiencies of existing process and systems (e.g., automobiles). The large-scale deployment of thermoelectrics ...
-
Meka, Shiv Akarsh (2012-07-16)In this work, patterns in the behavior of different classes and types of thermoelectric materials are observed, and an alchemy that could help engineer a highly efficient thermoelectric is proposed. A method based on ...
-
Calvo, Sergio Rafael (2009-05-15)Density functional theory (DFT) is used to study the reactivity of Pt and Pt-M (M: Pd, Co, Ni, V, and Rh) alloy catalysts towards the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) as a function of the alloy overall composition and surface ...
-
James, Ollie (2012-02-14)Non-statistical recrossing in ketene cycloadditions with alkenes, heavy-atom tunneling and the mechanism of the decarboxylation of Mandelylthiamin is investigated in this dissertation. A combination of experimental kinetic ...
-
Kewcharoenwong, Panitan (2011-08-08)Strategic network design has significant impacts on the operational performance of transportation and telecommunications industries. The corresponding networks are typically characterized by a multicommodity ow structure ...
-
Zhang, Tianyi (2017-02-17)Major objectives of this dissertation pay attention to synthesis, probe the feasibility of a new type of inorganic atropisomerism of diplatinum ethynediyl and butadiynediyl complexes, and explore the feasibility of Diels-Alder ...
-
Padubidri Janardhanachar, Guruprasad (2010-07-14)The goal of this research work is to further the understanding of crystal plasticity, particularly at reduced structural and material length scales. Fundamental understanding of plasticity is central to various challenges ...
-
Kim, Dasaroyong (2010-10-12)Polymers are intrinsically poor thermal conductors, which are ideal for thermoelectrics, but low electrical conductivity and thermopower have excluded them as feasible candidates as thermoelectric materials in the past. ...
-
Samuel, Adam Richard (2022-11-07)The Solid-State Incandescent LED is an emergent optoelectronic device made on a Silicon wafer using IC-compatible materials and processes. Incandescence takes place by the Joule heating of numerous nano-scale, high resistivity ...
-
Mokkapati, Srinivas Praveen (2009-05-15)Attachment of particles to one another due to action of certain inter-particle forces is called as particle agglomeration. It has applications ranging from efficient capture of ultra-fine particles generated in coal-burning ...
-
Kadribasic, Fedja (2020-04-23)Many astrophysical observations indicate that nonbaryonic dark matter makes up around 85% of the total mass content of the Universe. The SuperCDMS experiment represents one of many concerted efforts around the world to ...
-
Ozdemir, Nevin (2012-07-16)The utilization of ferromagnetic shape memory alloys (FSMAs) in small scale devices has attracted considerable attention within the last decade. However, the lack of sufficient studies on their reversible shape change ...
-
Hemmatiyan, Shayan (2016-12-02)In this thesis, I propose a practical way to stabilize half passivated graphene (graphone). I show that the dipole moments induced by a hexagonal-boron nitride (h-BN) substrate on graphene stabilize the hydrogen atoms on ...
-
Anekal, Samartha Guha (Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)Understanding dynamics of colloidal dispersions is important for several applications ranging from coatings such as paints to growing colloidal crystals for photonic bandgap materials. The research outlined in this ...
-
Yu, Meng (2009-05-15)Urea aqueous solution is ubiquitously used to denature protein. Regardless of its extensive use, the mechanism is still unclear and remains an active field of study. There have been two proposed mechanisms, the direct and ...
