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. ...
