Attractors at Weak Gravity
(Elsevier, 1998)We study the attractor mechanism in low energy effective D=4, N=2 Yang-Mills theory weakly coupled to gravity, obtained from the effective action of type IIB string theory compactified on a Calabi-Yau manifold. Using special ... -
Bimetallic Redox Synergy in Oxidative Palladium Catalysis
(American Chemical Society, 2012)Polynuclear transition metal complexes, which are embedded in the active sites of many metalloenzymes, are responsible for effecting a diverse array of oxidation reactions in nature. The range of chemical transformations ... -
Effect of Pressure on Arsenic Diffusion in Germanium: Evidence Against Simple Vacancy Mechanism
(Trans Tech Publications, 1997)We have measured the effect of pressure on As diffusion in Ge. Diffusion anneals on ion-implanted samples were carried out in a high temperature diamond anvil cell using fluid argon as a clean, hydrostatic pressure medium. ... -
Femtosecond-laser hyperdoping and texturing of silicon for photovoltaic applications
(2014-06-06)This dissertation explores strategies for improving photolvoltaic efficiency and reducing cost using femtosecond-laser processing methods including surface texturing and hyperdoping. Our investigations focus on two aspects: ...
