• #### DNA Driven Assembly at Solid and Liquid Interfaces ﻿

(2017-10-04)
This thesis presents work on the DNA directed assembly of colloids at liquid and solid interfaces under specifically sculpted attractive interactions via depletion forces and/or magnetic fields. The highly specific and ...
• #### Measurements of $B \to \mu^+ \mu^-$ decays using the LHCb experiment ﻿

(2017-10-04)
This dissertation documents a study of very rare $B$-meson decays at the LHCb experiment, using data taken during the first experiment run of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and during the second experiment run until ...
• #### High Strain Rate Properties of Geological Materials ﻿

(2009-07-01)
The dynamic response of various geological materials has been investigated through a series of plate impact experiments. The materials involved were supplied from various mines by De Beers and Rio Tinto and were generically ...
• #### Singlet Exciton Fission in Acene Dimer and Diradicaloid Molecules ﻿

(2017-10-01)
This dissertation describes our study of a photophysical process that leads to ultrafast generation of triplet excitons following photoexcitation, singlet exciton fission, in three different acene dimers and diradicaloids. ...
