A study of carbon and iron charged point defects in gallium nitride: electronic structure implications for high-power photoconductive solid state switch applications
(2021)There is growing demand for high-performance electronics in high volt- age, high current, and high frequency efficiency requirements that current materials (e.g., Si) are not fulfilling. Within the last few years, the ... -
Comparative Investigation of LIBS Spectra and Crater Morphology During Laser Ablation of Eutectic BiSn Alloys
(2022)Laser-based methods such as pulsed laser deposition (PLD) that are used for fabricating structural and functional materials are ripe for dramatic improvement. However, because laser–material interactions are dependent on ... -
Enabling Electronic Structure Calculations of High Z Element Containing Materials Using Dirac Relativistic DFT Methods
(2020)Novel properties may be induced in a host material by doping it with high Z elements to alter its underlying electronic states. Presently, no method exists that can accurately capture both large system sizes and the intricate ... -
Ferroelectric System Dynamics and the Properties of Ferroelectric / Two-Dimensional Electron Gas Heterostructures: a Ginzburg–Landau Study
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2017)Understanding the electronic response of materials to applied electric fields is an outstanding goal in solid-state theory. One aspect of this goal is to accurately predict the electric polarization of certain materials ... -
Sequential Sampling Designs for Estimating Software Reliability
(2020)For any non-trivial system, it is impossible to reach the exact reliability of software due to the complexity, cost, and time required to complete the testing. Instead, a sample of test cases can be used to estimate the ...
