Yonry Zhu | Design and Setup of a Pulsed Laser Deposition System

Yonry Zhu | Design and Setup of a Pulsed Laser Deposition System

 By Yonry Zhu (B.S. Engineering Physics, Class of 2017) I worked in Dr. Arthur Smith’s lab during summer 2015 and designed a pulsed laser deposition system for fabricating semiconducting thin films. The system is meant to be a test bed for components that will ultimately be integrated into an existing molecular […]

Jacob Williamson | Burning Out Swiftly: SN 2005da and Its Curious Nature

By Jacob Williamson (B.S. Astrophysics & B.S. Mathematics, Class of 2017) I worked with Dr. Ryan Chornock in Physics & Astronomy during the summer 2015 on classification of supernovae based on light curves and spectral data. Specifically, I focused on one supernova from 2005, SN 2005da, which was classified as a […]

David Overton | An Indirect Way to Study 18F(p,alpha)15) in Novae

By David Overton (B.S. Physics, Class of 2016) My research in Physics & Astronomy with Dr. Carl Brune was on an 19F(p,n) reaction, specifically with regard to a few special discreet states of the resultant 19Ne. When I started, my knowledge of nuclear physics was limited to say the least. I […]
