Understanding and predicting the evolution of the tropical cyclone (TC) inner-core continues to be a major research focus in tropical meteorology. Eyewall slope and its relationship to intensity and intensity change is one example that...
This dissertation is organized in two parts. The first part summarizes work in a newly developed synthetic route to perovskite-like MOFs, offering control over particle size and morphology. The second part of the dissertation cover...
As the only high temperature superconductor with round wire (RW) geometry, Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x (Bi-2212) superconducting wire has the advantages of being multi-filamentary, macroscopically isotropic and twistable. With overpressure (OP)...
The focus of this dissertation is to study the magnetic properties of several novel transition metal complexes, with particular emphasis on using SQUID magnetometry alongside electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and spectral simulations...
A robust and computationally efficient Monte-Carlo based technique is developed to analyze the magnetic aftereffect and noise passage phenomena in magnetic hysteretic systems by using phenomenological models of hysteresis. The technique...
Understanding and predicting the inner-core structure and intensity change of tropical cyclones (TCs) remains one of the biggest challenges in tropical meteorology. This study addresses this challenge by investigating the formation, ...
The focus of this dissertation is the study of the magnetic properties of several novel lanthanide and actinide metal complexes, of particular concentration is the use of SQUID magnetochemistry coupled with electron paramagnetic...
Spin-polarized unrestricted density functional theory is used to calculate the molecular properties of magnetic semiconductor quantum dots doped with 3d-metal atoms. We calculate total energies of the low spin antiferromagnetically...
To date, Object Data Analysis is the most inclusive type of data analysis, as far as the object spaces are concerned. It extends multivariate data analysis, landmark based shape analysis, and in the infinite dimensional case, it extends...
This dissertation details the synthesis and characterization of a new multiferroic family, (NH4)xK(1-x)CuCl3, where (0 <= x <= 1.00). The incentive for investigation of this family arose from the need for a set of unique multiferroic...
In many countries legislators switch parties between elections. This raises normative concerns related to issues of representation and accountability. To date, the literature explains party switching almost exclusively in terms of the...
This dissertation presents studies using high-resolution solid state NMR spectroscopy and a relatively new imaging technique (Stray-Field Imaging, STRAFI) on energy related materials. NMR spectroscopy studies were carried out on three...
This dissertation is focused on the study of a series of paramagnetic materials from molecular to nanoscale with increasing number of transition metal ions. We have successfully used techniques like SQUID magnetometry, high frequency...
Trapping of a photoinduced metastable paramagnetic state of a molecular material is one of the most fascinating phenomena of molecular bistability, due to its potential uses in memory devices, sensors, or radiation detectors. This thesis...
The pressure behavior of the actinides, like the rest of the chemistry of the actinides, is not well studied or understood. Chapter 1 gives a brief description of the prior work that has gone into studying the pressure behavior of the...
This dissertation is focused on NMR studies of phase transitions in perovskite-like Metal-Organic Framework Multiferroics. The materials studied are [(CH₃)₂NH₂]Mg(HCOO)₃ and [(CH₃)₂NH₂]Mn(HCOO)₃. Dimethylammonium magnesium formate, [(CH₃...
Spin crossover (SCO) is a physical phenomenon where certain transition metal ions exhibit a change in their electronic configuration and magnetic state under the influence of external stimuli such as temperature, pressure, or light. SCO...
Mn-silicalite-2 was synthesized at high pH using the molecular cluster, Mn12O12(O2CCH3)16 as a Mn Source. No precipitation of manganese hydroxide was observed with this cluster even with the use of tetrabutylammonium hydroxide as a...
