Neutron diffraction studies on ABO₃ (A=La, Sr, B=Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Mn, Ti) perovskite used in solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) and double perovskite Ba₂YRu[0.85-subscript]Cu[0.15-subscript]O₆ superconductor
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
ABO₃(A=La, Sr, B=Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Mn, Ti) perovskites are of great interest due to their mixed electronic and oxygen ion conductivity. They are candidates for the electrodes of SOFCs. This study investigates the effects of ...
Synergy of wide-field infrared survey explorer (WISE) and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey in Stripe 82
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
In this dissertation, I aim to study the evolution of galaxies over the last 6 Gyr by measuring the growth of the global stellar mass density (GSMD) since z = 0.8. My work combines the datasets from two very large surveys, ...
Spectropolarimetric constraints on interstellar grain models
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] It is now well recognized that the interstellar medium acts as an efficient polarizer of electromagnetic radiation, resulting in the partial plane polarization of starlight...
Applications of model systems to explore exchange-correlation effects in density-functional theory
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
Density-functional theory (DFT), in its various forms, has become a near ubiquitous form of theoretical research used to benchmark and prototype solutions to many finite and extended state system. This is largely because ...
