A comparison of some methods of estimating radium
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1914)
types of alpha ray electroscopes extensively used for the determination of small quantities of radium by the emanation method. The known quantities of the radium emanation required in these experiments were obtained, (1) from uraninite (Pitchblende...
Molecular dynamics simulations of shock-induced pore collapse in single crystal [beta]-HMX
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
" against continuum model that can capture the circular pore collapse phenomena. Head-to-head comparisons were done between MD predictions and a systematic hierarchy of five different continuum models, each incorporating increasing physical fidelity...
Anion and solvent influences on the self-assembly of copper(I) coordination solids
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
The investigation of solvent and anion influences on the self-assembly of copper(I) coordination solids are presented. As these extended solids vary in structural design as reactions conditions are varied, both those ...
Computational studies of three chemical systems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
The subject of this dissertation is the use of electronic structure calculations to examine and supplement the experimental observations of three different chemical systems. Both ab initio and DFT methods have been employed. ...
High valent uranium dioxo and imido complexes : synthesis and structure
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Early actinide elements have attracted considerable attention in recent years due to the need for rigorous advancements in spent nuclear fuel recycling and remediation technologies, and for their emerging versatility in ...
An evaluation of the need for critically refined purification procedures in fluorescent carbon dot syntheses : the ramifications of the ubiquitous presence of reaction by-products on quenchometric and light harvesting applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Fluorescent carbon dots constitute a novel and intriguing class of nanocarbons that display unique optical properties and can be purportedly generated from virtually any carbon-containing source. For example, the thermal ...
