The exploration and understanding of new states of matter resulting from reduced dimensionality and electron correlations has been at the forefront of condensed matter physics research for decades. The goal of this dissertation is to...
This dissertation presents the results from three major experiments to investigate angular momentum induced structural or shape changes in A~160 and A~110 atomic nuclei. The basic question we are trying to answer is "How do the...
Advances in technology require the advancement of understanding and creating new materials. Quantum materials - materials exhibiting quantum behavior- are a hot topic in condensed matter physics. Perhaps the most well known new materials...
A new angular correlation analysis technique for assigning spins to alpha-unbound states of nuclei that feed alpha-unbound states of other nuclei is described. A kinematically complete experiment was performed to study the reaction ¹²C...
The alpha-cluster structure of two oxygen isotopes, 17O and 18O, was studied using two experimental techniques. The first technique measured resonance elastic scattering of alpha particles and the second used the direct alpha-transfer...
Nuclei in the light rare-earth, for values of N ≥ 90, are textbook examples of the evolution of nuclear structure with respect to excitation energy and angular momentum in deformed nuclei. In the high-spin region (J ≥ 10ħ), effects such...
