The atomic surface structure of compound semiconductors plays a large role in the growth of semiconductor films and the final microstructure of the film. During growth of InxGa1−xAs films, a mixed-termination surface consisting of a (4x3) reconstruction with common binary InAs or GaAs reconstructions, such as the α2(2x4), has been observed. We have used Density Functional Theory (DFT) to determ...

Synchronizing Chaotic Systems Summer 2006

An appropriate definition of Chaos Theory (and one of many) is “the qualitative study of unstable, aperiodic behavior in deterministic, non-linear, dynamical systems” [1]. Chaos implies that a system exhibits sensitive dependence on initial conditions. For the purposes of this research project, we are interested in two types of dynamical systems which can be chaotic. The first is a map, of the ...
