Developing a Method to Study Ground State Properties of Hydrogen Clusters
(University of Waterloo, 2014-05-05)This thesis presents the benchmarking and development of a method to study ground state properties of hydrogen clusters using molecular dynamics. Benchmark studies are performed on our Path Integral Molecular Dynamics code ... -
Precision Low Temperature Calorimetry and Susceptibility of Magnetic Pyrochlores
(University of Waterloo, 2018-09-19)Spin-ice models feature the same statistical disorder as water ice, which is identified as the source of zero-point entropy. Gapped topological excitations with properties of monopoles are associated with the violation of ... -
A Thermal Expansion Coefficient Study of Several Magnetic Spin Materials via Capacitive Dilatometry
(University of Waterloo, 2013-06-21)The work presented in this thesis detail the measurement of the thermal expansion coefficient of three magnetic spin materials. Thermal expansion coefficient values were measured by capacitive dilatometry in several key ...
