Experimental Investigation of Two-Electron Processes in Ion-Atom Collisions
(1989)This paper will cover two separate mechanisms currently being investigated in collisional atomic physics. The first mechanism, which is the main focus of this paper, is a double electron process investigated for the ... -
An Experimental Method for Determining Stress-Strain Relations with Strain Gages
(1977)When a large force is applied to a rectangular beam two things may happen after the force is removed: the beam will recover from the bending moment; or, it may not recover from the bending force, and not return to its ... -
Experiments in Fluid Dynamics
(1971)This paper is a report on work done with the flow of water through two types of constraining devices. These constraining devices are pipes which have a circular cross-section and ducts which have a rectangular cross-section. -
Exploration of Single and Double Ionization of Two-electron Model Atoms Exposed to Intense Laser Fields
(1999)This past summer, I computer modeled single and double ionization of two-electron model atoms exposed to strong laser fields. I simulated the formation of double-ionization jets that are formed when the two electrons emerge ... -
Exploring Constant pH Molecular Dynamics of Proteins in Explicit Solvent
(2012)Acidity is an important property in determining protein activity and influences of enzymes during reactions in a biological system. How acidic a system is controls the actions of the proteins in it, which is important ... -
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

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. ... -

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 ... -
