Disorder, Geometric Frustration and the Dipolar Interaction in Rare-Earth Magnets
(University of Waterloo, 2010-08-30)This thesis will present research that studies the role of disorder, geometric frustration and the long range dipolar interaction on the collective behaviour of several insulating, rare earth magnets. Experiments were ... -
RF-QPC Charge Detector and S-T₊ Qubit in a Lateral Double Quantum Dot Device
(University of Waterloo, 2017-01-18)A measurement system is developed for studying a lateral double quantum dot (DQD) device formed in the two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) of a GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure. Copper powder and RC filters are constructed to ... -
Specific Heat of the Dilute, Dipolar-Coupled, Ising Magnet LiHo<sub><em>x</em></sub>Y<sub>1-<em>x</em></sub>F<sub>4</sub>
(University of Waterloo, 2006)The system LiHo<sub><em>x</em></sub>Y<sub>1-<em>x</em></sub>F<sub>4</sub> is a nearly perfect example of a dilute, dipolar-coupled Ising magnet and, as such, it is an ideal testing ground for many theories in statistical ...
