An Analysis of the Stellar Mass Properties of Distant Galaxy Clusters From the Massive and Distant Clusters of WISE Survey (MaDCoWS)
(2022)
The epoch at redshift z ∼ 1 and above is an important one for the study of the evolution of galaxy clusters, as this is the epoch where star formation in clus- ter cores in quenched. Most wide-area cluster surveys at this ...
Dust-Obscured Galaxy Protocluster and Cluster Survey (DOGPACS): Identifying Large-Scale Structures 9−10 Billion Light-Years Away
(2022)
Primordial density fluctuations have grown over time due to gravitational
instability to form galaxies and, eventually, large-scale structures, such as clusters
of galaxies. Galaxy clusters are the most massive collapsed ...
Far-UV to Mid-IR Spectral Energy Distributions of Nearby Merging Galaxies
(2022)
Simulations of gas-rich, major galaxy mergers predict elevated amounts of star formation (SF) and nuclear black hole growth (active galactic nuclei, or AGN). This model is supported by observations that find enhanced SF ...
Ferroelectric System Dynamics and the Properties of Ferroelectric / Two-Dimensional Electron Gas Heterostructures: a Ginzburg–Landau Study
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2017)
Understanding the electronic response of materials to applied electric fields is an
outstanding goal in solid-state theory. One aspect of this goal is to accurately predict the
electric polarization of certain materials ...
Photoemission Spectroscopy Studies of New Topological Insulator Materials
(2015-08-04)
As the size of a solid shrinks, the ratio of surface area to bulk volume grows and
surface effects become more important. In a world where technologies advance with the
shrinking size of electronic devices, one phase of ...
Constraining the Major Merging History of Massive Galaxies: A Comprehensive Analysis of Close Pairs and Tidal Features Using Empirical and Simulated Data
(2021)
Major galaxy merging is a fundamental aspect of the hierarchical structure-growth scenario of the universe, and it is theoretical expected to contribute to several key aspects of galaxy evolution. As such, empirically ...
The Bulk and Interfacial Electronic and Chemical Structure of Amorphous Hydrogenated Boron Carbide
(2013)
The chemical and electronic structure, as related to the surface, interface and bulk of amorphous hydrogenated boron carbide (a-BxC:Hy), is of interest in neutron detection and microelectronics. This dissertation investigates ...
