Evolving Galactic Dynamos and Fits to the Reversing Rotation Measures in Edge-On Galaxies
Rotation measure (RM) synthesis maps of NGC 4631 by Mora-Partiarroyo et al. (2018) show remarkable sign reversals on kpc scales as the distance from the minor axis increases in the northern halo of the galaxy. RM maps for ...
Suppression of the Efficiency Roll-Off Characteristics in Solution-Processed Lanthanide-based Organic Light-Emitting Diodes
Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) have gained a tremendous amount of interest, due to their applications in display and solid-state lighting technologies. This interest mainly arises from the easy and inexpensive ...
Nonlinear Response of Monolayer Graphene to THz Frequency Radiation
Graphene, as a zero-bandgap two-dimensional semiconductor with a linear electron band dispersion near the Dirac points, has potential to exhibit very interesting nonlinear optical properties. In particular, third harmonic ...
Commissioning of an Upgraded Equinox-100 Cobalt-60 Radiation Therapy Unit in the Varian Eclipse Treatment Planning System
The introduction of Cobalt 60 (Co 60) units in the 1950s established megavoltage radiation therapy worldwide. Unfortunately, advances for the Co 60 radiation treatment units were not heavily pursued over the years and Co ...
Phononic Crystal Surface Structures on Gallium Arsenide
A series of computational studies of surface phononic crystals on cubic gallium arsenide are explored to elucidate the behaviour of surface acoustic waves in such systems. The enhanced understanding of surface acoustic ...
Angular Resolution and Directionality in SNO+
Solar neutrinos are an irreducible background for the SNO+ double beta decay experiment. Neutrino interactions in the SNO+ detector produce directional Cherenkov light which, if separated from the dominant scintillation ...
The role of surface fossil magnetic fields in massive star evolution
Models describing the evolution of massive stars have advanced significantly due to understanding and including key physical phenomena in the calculations, such as mass loss and rotation. As stellar magnetometry has ...
Electron Recoils In the PICO Direct Dark Matter Detection Experiment
The PICO-40L bubble chamber for direct dark matter detection is finishing the commissioning phase at SNOLAB. The detector will operate for 1 live year before being replaced by the next-generation detector, PICO-500. The ...
