Using Solvated Density Functional Theory to Obtain NMR spectra for Azo Dyes Abstract Calculations based on Solvated NMR were performed on a number of smaller molecules as well as 3 larger dyes. The calculated data is compared to experimental results and from this it is hoped that calculated NMR spectra of azo dyes can be…

Characterisation and Calibration of Optical Tweezers [Mirror1] Optical Tweezer code Abstract Using the optical tweezers, three different methods of calibrating the trap stiffness were performed: power spectrum fit, sinusoidal movement and finally a flow method. Iinitally in order to understand the equipment I have attempted to characterize the components of the optical tweezers. This involved measurements…
