Strongly correlated materials manifest some of the most intriguing behaviors found in condensed matter physics. However, their understanding remains a challenge because they cannot be described using standard theoretical approaches, as...
Despite over thirty years of research, the origin of high-temperature superconductivity remains unsolved. In these thirty years, the phase diagram for the rst-discovered high-temperature superconductors, the cuprates, has been found to...
Europium exhibits two stable valence states, Eu2+ and Eu3+, with energies closely matched, wherein the magnetic Eu2+ state is significantly larger than the nonmagnetic Eu3+. EuPd2Si2 (EPS) undergoes a bulk valence state transition from...
This dissertation details the isolation of marine siderophores by Immobilized Metal Affinity Chromatography (IMAC). Siderophores are biologically produced, low molecular weight (400 Da-1000Da), strong iron-binding ligands. These...
The high temperature Ag-Mg-sheathed Bi₂Sr₂Cacu₂O[subscript x] (2212) multi-filamentary superconducting round wire shows very promising electromagnetic properties with an isotropic behavior in field, a very high irreversibility field at 4...
Enhancing the beam energy of particle accelerators like the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), at CERN, can increase our probability of finding new fundamental particles of matter beyond those predicted by the standard model. Such discoveries...
Bi2Sr2CaCu2Ox (Bi-2212) round wire is one of the most promising candidates for high field magnet applications. The round wire geometry is preferred by the magnet designers as it shows isotropic superconducting properties independent of...
Disorder can have a vast variety of consequences for the physics of phase transitions. Some transitions remain unchanged in the presence of disorder while others are completely destroyed. In this dissertation we study the effects of...
Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x (Bi-2212) is a promising candidate for ultra-high field magnets (>25 T) because of its round wire geometry, twisted multifilamentary architecture, and macroscopically isotropic electromagnetic properties. However, in...
