Dr. Zhibo Zhang was just awarded the IRC (International Radiation Commission) Young Scientist Award. This very coveted international award is given out only every four years. It is awarded to young scientists who have made recent noteworthy contributions to radiation studies and are regarded as having great potential to become a leading radiation scientist in the future. Awardees must also be within 10 years of having received the PhD degree at the time of nomination, and under 40 years of age. Dr. Zhang was asked to give a keynote presentation at the meeting.

Abstract: In this work, we examine the thermal diffusivity of Si/SiGe thin-film superlattice (SL) structures and use these results with previous thermal conductivity results to calculate the heat capacity from 374K to 674 K. The thermal properties of semiconductor layered structures can be altered through the use of SL structures. This alteration occurs through two possible mechanisms: increased phonon scattering due to rough interfaces and phonon zone folding due to boundary conditions of the propagating waves. Examining the heat capacity allows for the observation of phonon zone folding effects while limiting effects due to scattering. Structures studied here consist of SiGe SLs grown at different temperatures and with varying SL spacing allowing the examination of period and crystallinity effects on thermal properties. ]]>

Abstract: We measured, within 6% accuracy, the nonlinear refractive index (n2) of 10 meter long multimode silica fiber of 17μm core diameter, using a modified induced grating autocorrelation technique (IGA). This measurement technique, based on time-delayed two beam coupling in a photorefractive crystal has been used to accurately measure n2 in short lengths of single mode fibers. For the first time to our knowledge, IGA is used to measure n2 of multimode fiber with a passively modelocked Nd:YVO4 laser operating with a dual-line near 1342 nm. ]]>

The work was part of her PhD thesis under the mentorship of Dr. Marc Kuchner at NASA Goddard which was successfully defended in June 2015. The simulation (named SMACK, Superparticle-Method Algorithm for Collisions in Kuiper belts) of the debris disk of nearby star Beta Pictoris models the star, its disk, and the second of its planets, Beta Pictoris b and explains many observed features that remained unexplained until now. The simulation follows the collisions among the orbiting debris, as their orbits are disturbed by the spiral waves driven by the planet’s motion, and the production of dust during these collisions. The simulation is able to follow the evolution of warps and eccentric rings, as can be seen in this NASA video (http://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/new-nasa-supercomputer-model-shows-planet-making-waves-in-nearby-debris-disk).

Dr. Nesvold will continue her research as a postdoctorate fellow at the Carnegie institute in Washington, DC. ]]>
