• Computational studies of methane adsorption in nanoporous carbon 

    Ortiz, Lindsey (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
    In this thesis we have completed computational studies using Grand Canonical Monte Carlo on the adsorption of methane into a graphitic nanoporous adsorbent with slit-shaped pores. Simulations were done at a temperature of ...
  • High pressure spectroscopic studies of organic device materials 

    Paudel, Keshab Raj, 1973- (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
    A comparison of photoluminescence spectra of as-is and thermally cycled di-octyl substituted polyfluorene (PF8) under pressure has been used to disentangle inter- and intra-chain interactions. Raman study of this system ...
  • Low dielectric constant-based organic field-effect transistors and metal-insulator-semiconductor capacitors 

    Ukah, Ndubuisi Benjamin (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
    This thesis describes a study of PFB and pentacene-based organic field-effect transistors (OFET) and metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) capacitors with low dielectric constant poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), poly(4-vinyl ...
  • Physics-based predictions of RNA loop stability and structures 

    Liu, Liang (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
    [ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] RNA (ribonucleic acid) molecules play a variety of crucial roles in cellular functions at the level of transcription, translation and gene regulation. ...
