1591. Electrical Resistivity of Molten Ni at High Pressures and Comparison with Preliminary Results on Liquid Fe

Reynold Silber (Western University)

CLOSED - Oral (Student, In Competition) / Orale (Étudiant(e), inscrit à la compétition)

Characterization of transport properties of liquid Ni and Fe at high pressures has important geophysical implications for heat flow and dynamo action in terrestrial planetary interiors. Ni is a close electronic analogue of Fe and it is also integral to the Earth’s core. We report the measurements of electrical resistivity of solid and liquid Ni, and the preliminary results for Fe at pressures...

Metal doping of ZnO nanocrystals has great potential to increase the performance of advanced semiconductor devices such as gas sensors. The oxygen gas sensitivity of pure ZnO can be improved by Manganese (Mn) addition. In our report arrays of Mn-doped ZnO nanorods were synthesized by a hydrothermal...

1701. Single Photon Source from Quantum Dots Modulated by Surface Acoustic Waves

Condensed Matter and Materials Physics / Physique de la matière condensée et matériaux (DCMMP-DPMCM)

CLOSED - Oral (Student, In Competition) / Orale (Étudiant(e), inscrit à la compétition)

There is currently a great deal of interest in single photon sources specially for use in quantum information processing. Single photons, once produced, can be reliably manipulated and can travel long distances unaffected. Single quantum emitters such as quantum dots are one of the most promising methods for generating single photons on demand. In this work, we study InAsP quantum dots...

1615. Electrohydrodynamics-driven droplet dynamics in an oil-in-oil emulsion

Ms Somayeh Khajehpour Tadavani (Memorial University )

Condensed Matter and Materials Physics / Physique de la matière condensée et matériaux (DCMMP-DPMCM)

CLOSED - Oral (Student, In Competition) / Orale (Étudiant(e), inscrit à la compétition)

We study the process of drop break up as well as the non-equilibrium analog of collective behaviours such as crystal melting using tunable electrohydrodynamic interactions in an oil-in-oil emulsion of silicone oil drops in the “leaky dielectric, castor oil. The experiments were carried out in capacitors made of ITO where the lateral extent is much smaller than the vertical dimension.
