Comparison of Graphene Oxide and Reduced Graphene Oxide for DNA Adsorption and Sensing
(American Chemical Society, 2016-10-18)Fluorescently labeled DNA adsorbed on graphene oxide (GO) is a well-established sensing platform for detecting a diverse range of analytes. GO is a loosely defined material and its oxygen content may vary depending on the ... -
Determining Analytical Potential Energy Functions of Diatomic Molecules by Direct Fitting
(University of Waterloo, 2001)The fully quantum mechanical 'direct-potential-fit' (DPF) method has become increasingly widely used in the reduction of diatomic spectra. The central problem of this method is the representation of the potential energy ... -
Direct Fitting of Analytical Potential Functions to Diatomic Molecular Spectroscopic Data
(University of Waterloo, 2000)The standard practice of spectroscopic data reduction is generally to fit data to level energy expansions in terms of the vibrational and rotational quantum numbers. However, the utility of such expressions is limited ... -
Fourier Transform Spectroscopy of Selected Transient Species
(University of Waterloo, 2003)The procedures and results of experimental and/or theoretical studies of four transient molecules, GeO, WO, BeH, and MgH are reported in the thesis. Two of them, GeO and WO, are diatomic molecules composed of relatively ... -
Liposome/Graphene Oxide Interaction Studied by Isothermal Titration Calorimetry
(American Chemical Society, 2015-03-15)The interaction between graphene oxide (GO) and lipid bilayers is important for fundamental surface science and many applications. In this work, isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), cryo-TEM, and fluorescence spectroscopy ... -
Observation of Resonant Electric Dipole-Dipole Interactions Between Cold Rydberg Atoms Using Microwave Spectroscopy
(University of Waterloo, 2006)This thesis reports the first observation of the resonant electric dipole-dipole interaction between cold Rydberg atoms using microwave spectroscopy, the observation of the magnetic field suppression of resonant interactions, ... -
Thermodynamics and Kinetics of Adaptive Binding in the Malachite Green RNA Aptamer
(American Chemical Society, 2013-09-24)Adaptive binding, the ability of molecules to fold themselves around the structure of a ligand and thereby incorporating it into their three-dimensional fold, is a key feature of most RNA aptamers. The malachite green ...
