Experiential retailing: Extraordinary store environments and purchase behavior
<p>The purpose of this study was to determine how store atmospherics affect purchase behavior in experiential stores. It extended the Donovan et al. study, “Store Atmosphere and Purchasing Behavior” (1994), by determining the levels of pleasure and arousal in an experiential store and the affects …

Extraordinary Temperature Amplification in Ion-Stimulated Surface Diffusion
Molecular Dynamic simulation of low-energy noble gas atoms impacting semiconductor surfaces revealed a new, unexpectedly strong tradeoff between the energy threshold for point defect formation and substrate temperature. Experimental measurements of Ge and In surface diffusion on Si(111) by optical …

Probing extraordinary nanoscale energy transfer using bimaterial microcantilevers
… (AFM), this thesis has studied several extraordinary energy transfer phenomena at the nanoscale including near-field radiation beyond Planck's law, high thermal conductivity polymers and the optical absorption of micro/nanostructures. First, surface phonon polaritons, which is one type …

Encounters with Trees: A Study of Extraordinary Experiences in Nature
There has been much focus in recent years on plant intelligence and the possibility of communication between trees, but very little on the possibility of communication between humans and trees. This dissertation centres on people’s encounters with trees— moments of connection during which a humans …

Extraordinary Women in Texas: A Phenomenological Study of Mexican American Female Superintendents
Women remain underrepresented in the superintendency with even less Mexican American female representation. At the time of this study, there were 1, 144 superintendents in Texas, 911 were male, and 233 were female. Of the current 233 female superintendents only 14 were Mexican American. Research on …

Extraordinary light-induced local field, angular momentum and force near metallic nanoparticles
The intense local field induced near metallic nanostructures provides strong enhancements for surface enhanced spectroscopies, a major focus of plasmonics research over the past decade. Here we show several different nanoantennas for SEIRA detection, which exhibit an order of magnitude greater …

Polarization Conversion Mediated Surface Plasmon Polaritons in Extraordinary Optical Transmission through a Nanohole Arrays
Since Ebbesen's seminal work in 1998 observing extraordinary optical transmission (EOT) through nanohole arrays, much research has focused on the role of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) in EOT. While the energy and momentum conditions have become clear, no consensus has been reached on the role …
