    • Investigations of non-covalent bonding: synthesis-aided calculations 
      Engerer, Laura Kathryn (2017-02-15)
      Department: Chemistry
      This work describes three separate projects, for which Density Functional Theory (DFT) computations provide a unifying theme. The DFT approach gives a theoretically sound way to model the chemical and physical properties ...
    • Phosphor thermometry using rare-earth doped materials 
      Hansel, Rachael Ann (2010-08-17)
      Department: Interdisciplinary Materials Science
      The goal of this work was to determine the luminescent lifetime of these phosphor materials as a function of temperature. Cerium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet and europium-doped pyrochlores were synthesized using combustion ...
