Exploring TaS2 and YBa2Cu3O7-δ : Exotic Materials of Physics
(2019-09-01)Methods of measurement of TaS2 (Tantrum Disulfide) and YBa2Cu3O7-δ (Yttrium Barium Copper Oxide) samples to reveal their physical properties and introduce the physical models producing their characteristics were explored ... -
Exploring Three Dimensional Interior Melting of a System of Hard Sphere Through Computer Simulations
(2014)Currently, there aren't any theories that explain the process and mechanisms involved in three-dimensional melting. Experiments have shown that melting is usually initiated at surfaces or crystal defects. However, recently, ... -
Fabrication of a Ge(Li) Detector
(1969) -
A Feasibility Study of an Application of the Fabry-Perot Interferometer to High Ultraviolet Wavelengths
(1983)The objective of this project was to study the feasibility of using a Fabry-Perot interferometer at ultraviolet wavelengths. The Fabry-Perot has been used very effectively for many years at visible and infrared wavelengths ... -
Finding Correlations in Helium-3 and Electron Release During Impulsive Solar Energetic Particle Events
(2018)There are two major kinds of events that occur on the Sun, solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs). Both are caused by build ups of magnetic energy in the Sun's atmosphere, but while solar flares are a release of ... -
Finite Element Analysis and Its Application in the Design of a Water Heater Tank Stand
(2013)A key focus in designing mechanical instruments is to create structurally sound materials that hold up under all the circumstances they will likely endure. For the safety of the individuals who use these instruments it is ... -
Fluid Flow in Straight and Curved Pipes
(1976)This paper is involved with the motion of fluids through constraining devices . Fluids differ with solids in that they are substances , usually gases or liquids , that alter their shape in response to forces and tend to ... -
A Fluidic Oscillator: Providing Irregular Impulses to Rock a Preterm Infant's Water Bed
(1978)Our objective was to develop a compact, safe and inexpensive device to oscillate the infant's water bed. Such stimulation has already been shown to benefit premature infants' growth and development. -
Flux Flow Resistance in High Transition Temperature Superconductors
(1991)This paper begins with a general introduction to flux flow resistance. Since it is more important to understand the phenomenology than the theory, a detailed explanation of the theory of superconductivity and how it ... -
Flux Flow Resistance in YBa2Cu3O7 Superconductors
(1993)This paper begins with a general overview and purpose of the project. An historical account of superconductivity is presented, followed by a simplistic explanation of the basic characteristics of superconductors. ... -
Galactic Intruders - A Vector Multiplication Module
(1981)Vector multiplication is an essential tool in the study of Physics. This paper describes a program designed to teach and test the students ability in this area. The paper also serves to give a brief background to the ... -
Growth and Characterization of Fe-Se-Te Superconducting Materials
(2019-12-01)Iron-based superconductors are a family of high temperature superconductors which are not explained by the standard BCS theory. We have synthesized Fe-Se-Te single crystals via AlCl3 and KCl flux under a temperature gradient. ... -
A Guide to Green Building
(2008) -
Harnessing Ocean Wave Energy: The Crest Wing Wave Energy Converter
(2008)This report presents the results of an experimental study of the wave energy converting abilities of the Crest Wing wave energy converter (WEC). The Crest Wing is a WEC that uses its movement in matching the shape of an ... -
A High Pressure System for the Investigation of the Structure of Liquids Using Positron Annihilation
(Kalamazoo College., 1963-01-01) -
High-Pressure Millimeter-Wave Spectroscopy and Radiometry
(1993)In 1990, Congress amended the Clean Air Act to phase in the requirement for all industries to continuously monitor airborne effluents for a range of environmentally unsound chemical species. This requirement sets the ... -
History and Design of the Small Point One Sailboat
(2009)When I was eight years old, my godmother brought me for the first time to Small Point, ME, a small community on the water where she had summered for over 40 years. That first summer, I learned how to sail in a very small ... -
Hydrogen and Fuel Cells: A Look at the Future of Transportation
(2002)Fuel cell research has reached an all-time high, and stories of the progress fuel cell technology is making are cropping up in more and more articles in a variety of media. This paper seeks to synthesize much of this ... -
In Situ Micro-Raman Spectroscopy of Rubrene Single Crystals
(2019)Raman Spectroscopy is the measure of different energy levels of a substance that allows you to see structural information of your substance. Raman Spectroscopy was performed on the organic semiconductor Rubrene ... -
In vivo Optical Measurement of Bone Strength Using Raman Spectroscopy
(2019)Although there are a variety of clinical techniques to measure bone mineralization and structure, bone mineral density alone is not fully indicative of bone strength. Raman spectroscopy is a technique that provides chemical ...
