Magnetic Force Microscopy (MFM) Characterization of Superparamagnetic Nanoparticles (SPIONs)
(University of Waterloo, 2012-09-28)Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs), due to their controllable sizes, relatively long in vivo half-life and limited agglomeration are ideal for biomedical applications such as magnetic labeling, hyperthermia ... -
Magnetic Levitation of Polymeric Photo-thermal Microgrippers
(University of Waterloo, 2008-09-26)Precise manipulation of micro objects became great interest in engineering and science with the advancements in microengineering and microfabrication. In this thesis, a magnetically levitated microgripper is presented for ... -
Magnetic Ordering of Dipolar Spin Ice in Moderate [111] Field
(University of Waterloo, 2016-09-08)This thesis explores the low temperature physics of the macroscopically degenerate system of dipolar spin ice in moderate fields applied along the [111] cubic axis. While most applications of field generically lift the ... -
Magnetic Polyion Complex Micelles as Therapy and Diagnostic Agents
(University of Waterloo, 2015-09-30)This Ph.D. dissertation describes the synthesis of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) designed to serve as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents and for heat generation in cellular radiofrequency ... -
Magnetic Pulse Welding of Mg Sheet
(University of Waterloo, 2011-08-31)Because of its low density and high strength, magnesium (Mg) and its alloys are being sought after in the automotive industry for structural applications. Although many road-going cars today contain cast Mg parts, in the ... -
Magnetic Transduction for RF Micromechanical Filters
(University of Waterloo, 2012-02-27)The use of electrostatic transduction has enabled high-Q miniaturized mechanical resonators made of non-piezoelectric material that vibrate at high and ultra high frequencies. However, this transduction technique suffers ... -
Magnetization of Graphene with Circularly Polarized Light
(University of Waterloo, 2022-04-26)In this thesis, the effect of circularly polarized light on a graphene sheet is explored. The fundamental question that we try to answer in this work is whether circularly polarized light is able to induce a DC magnetization ... -
Magnetotransport experiments in GaAs 2D holes and RF-QPC readout in a lateral quantum dot device
(University of Waterloo, 2024-02-16)This thesis presents a set of experiments conducted on GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures fabricated into Hall bars and a lateral quantum dot device. The Hall bar experiments seek to further the understanding of the complexity ... -
Magnetotransport in Transition Metal Dichalcogenide Semimetals
(University of Waterloo, 2021-06-02)In this thesis, we study the large magnetoresistance in MoTe2, and non-linear anomalous Hall effect in MoTe2 and WTe2. Thin flakes cleaved from layered single crystals exhibit high mobility, and semimetals show nearly ... -
The Magnitude and Time Course Effects of an Acute Bout of Moderate Intensity Resistance Training on Cognitive Function
(University of Waterloo, 2016-05-19)Resistance training (RT) is a common form of physical activity that forms a core part of physical activity recommendations. RT has well-documented benefits to metabolic and musculoskeletal health. Emerging research also ... -
Mainland Chinese International University Students’ Travel Motivations, Travel Information Sources, and General Travel Patterns within Canada: A Case Study at the University of Waterloo
(University of Waterloo, 2014-08-26)Many international students conduct tourism activities in the host country during their overseas living experience, which is significant for the country’s tourism industry and overall economy. Chinese international students ... -
Maintaining Quality of Service for Adaptive Mobile Map Clients
(University of Waterloo, 2001)Mobile devices must deal with limited and dynamically varying resources, in particular, the network quality of service (QoS). In addition, wireless devices have other constraints such as limited memory, battery power, ... -
Majority in the Three-Way Comparison Model
(University of Waterloo, 2019-08-28)In this thesis, we study comparison based problems in a new comparison model called three-way, where a comparison can result in { >, =, < }. We consider a set of n balls with fixed ordered coloring. Particularly, we are ... -
