Collective charge- and spin-density excitations in semiconductor quantum wells
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)Quasi-two-dimensional (2D) systems, such as an electron gas confined in a quantum well, are important model systems for many-body theories, and we are interested in studying collective excitations in such systems using a ... -
Magnetic interactions in the spin-orbit coupled electron gas
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)The exchange interaction between two localized magnetic moments embedded in a host material is fundamental to the description of the magnetic behavior of solids and chiral order in magnetic structures. This interaction was ... -
Small-scale structures in planetary nebulae
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)Two planetary nebulae (PNe) were studied in order to investigate small scale molecular structures in planetary nebulae, the survival of which affects the structure and composition of the interstellar medium (ISM) from which ... -
Watching biological nanomotors at work : insights from single-molecule studies
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)Recent decades have seen several complimentary biophysics tools emerge to study single protein macromolecules. Most of these techniques use glass as a specimen support. The atomic force microscope, a vital tool in biophysics ...
