Predicting RNA secondary structures using physics-based modeling and evolutionary inferences
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecules are critical to gene expression and regulation at the level of transcription, splicing, translation, and catalysis of biochemical reactions. In order to understand RNA function, we need to ...
An investigation of the single-molecule biophysics of membrane systems with atomic force microscopy
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Cell membranes define the boundary of the fundamental unit of all organisms. They maintain the biochemical gradients of the cell and are carefully regulated by various membrane proteins and factors. Understanding of these ...
Exploring polymer dielectrics for donor-acceptor and small molecule based transistors and voltage inverters
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
Organic semiconductor devices have gained much attention over the past several decades. Solution processability of polymer materials lends itself towards the realization of flexible, wearable electronic devices, owing to ...
Photoemission spectroscopy and first-principles studies of two-dimensional Dirac and Weyl materials
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Two-dimensional (2D) materials have attracted tremendous research interest since the breakthrough of graphene. As the nature of the low dimension, 2D materials are thin, flexible, and easy for fabrication. More interestingly, ...
Elucidation of quantum magnetic dynamics in semi-classical honeycomb lattice
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
[EMBARGOED UNTIL 12/1/2024] The artificial spin ice systems are essentially arrays of single domain nanomagnets with specifically designed patterns, e.g. squares, honeycombs, etc. As a natural extension of the classical ...
