Gallium-selenide films grown by heteroepitaxy on silicon substrates exhibit two primary growth structures: layered GaSe and defected zinc-blende Ga2Se3. The latter is seen when growing on the (100) surface of silicon, and an emergent structure of nanowires is observed. My project for the ten week summer program at the University of Washington physics department was to investigate the nanowire s...

ii ABSTRACT A new way to model astrophysical disks based on nearest neighbor perturbations (NNPs) is presented. Key aspects of the NNP model are: chopping up space into a hexagonal grid, imposing differential rotation (as opposed to letting it arise naturally), treating the boundaries as reservoirs, and making the system independent of scale. A Fortran program was written to test the model. The...
