Coulomb blockade thermometry-based nanocalorimetry and its application to CeRh₂As₂
(2024-06-10) - ThesisIn quantum materials research, thermodynamic measurements are a key tool for probing the underlying physics of materials. The highest quality samples are often only available as microcrystals of typical mass < 100 μg. Heat ... -
The development and use of elastic resonators to study biomechanics in soft-bodied locomotion
(2024-06-10) - ThesisLocomotion is a vital behaviour, near-ubiquitous across the Animal Kingdom, forming the ethological fundament for many behaviours critical for survival. Universally among terrestrial animals, these behaviours involve the ... -
Hyperspectral confocal imaging of whispering-gallery-mode microlasers for bio- and ecophotonic applications
(2024-06-10) - ThesisMicroscopic lasers are an emerging platform for biophotonic applications. These lasers are free-standing particles with diameters of hundreds of nanometres to a few micrometres. They generate coherent emission characterised ... -
Scanning tunnelling microscopy of magnetic van der Waals materials
(2024-06-10) - ThesisUnderstanding the properties of materials is essential for control of their behaviour for future applications. Devices based on two-dimensional van der Waals materials have wide-ranging technological possibilities, from ... -
Studying the electronic structure of the polar surfaces of delafossites using μ-ARPES
(2024-06-10) - ThesisThis thesis presents the results of my angle-resolved photoemission (ARPES) study of the delafossite oxides PdCoO₂, PtCoO₂ and PdCrO₂ as well as delafossite-like AgCrSe₂. When cleaving the sample, their layered ABX₂ structure ...
