Simple SUSY GUT models based on the gauge group SO(10) require t-b-t Yukawa coupling unification, in addition to gauge coupling and matter unification. The Yukawa coupling unification places a severe constraint on the expected spectrum...
This thesis studied the electronic structure at the Fermi level and the topological character of topological semimetals via torque magnetometry. Torque magnetometry measures the anisotropic magnetization of the sample in a tilted...
Electrophoresis is one of the most powerful tools used to separate biological molecules by size in a supporting medium under the influence of an electric field. Pluronic F127 gel, introduced as a new sieving medium for electrophoresis in...
Angular Distributions, Polarization Observables, Spin Density Matrices and Statistical Tensors in Photoproduction of Two Pseudoscalar Mesons off a Nucleon
In two meson photoproduction off a nucleon, for the case in which two of the three final state hadrons are products of the decay of an intermediate resonance, general expressions for its decay distribution and for polarization...
Nuclear pairing correlations using Quantum Monte Carlo are studied in this dissertation. We start by defining the nuclear pairing problem and discussing several historical methods developed to solve this problem, paying special attention...
We study several aspects of the behavior of strongly correlated electron systems with disorder. First we examine the influence of strong electron-electron interactions on the impurity dominated resistivity. In the weak-coupling limit, ...
Strongly correlated insulators (SCIs) are proposed as a promising material for photovoltaics because the strongly correlated \textit{d} electrons can facilitate the creation of multiple electron-hole pairs per incoming photon through a...
The structure and dynamics of the (001) surface of potassium tantalate (KTaO3), doped with lithium (KTL) and niobium (KTN) have been investigated using high resolution helium atom diffraction and single-phonon creation and annihilation, ...
We investigate various fundamental aspects of the metal insulator transition (MIT) by employing several theoretical approaches. Describing the novel features of interacting electronic systems remains one of the principle challenges to...
We study the unusual transport behavior driven mostly by the correlations between the charge carriers in lattice and continuum systems. The strongly correlated systems are studied in the classical limit where the Coulomb interaction...
The discovery of graphene marked a turning point in research and interest towards 2 -D materials. Among them, Transition Metal Dichalcogenides (TMDs) and Metal Monochalcogenides (MM) have seen an upturn in interest owing to their...
Two Dimensional Materials has been the focus of much research in the past decade. We review 145 stable two dimensional materials in both bulk and monolayer. We compare their final electronic properties and discuss the results....
Strongly correlated materials are a class of materials that cannot be properly described by the Density Functional Theory (DFT), which is a single-particle approximation to the original many-body electronic Hamiltonian. These systems...
This thesis presents the first measurement of the differential production cross section of a heavy flavor (bottom or charm) jet and direct photon at the Fermilab Tevatron. These measurements were performed using data recorded with the D0...
