Designed topological states from hybrid spiral magnet-superconductor heterostructures
(University of St Andrews, 2019-06-24) - ThesisIn this thesis a Green’s function based, analytical formalism is developed to describe dense chains of spiral ordered classical magnetic moments embedded in superconducting substrates. I demonstrate that an understanding ... -
Spin- and angle-resolved photoemission study of topological band inversions within a single orbital manifold
(University of St Andrews, 2019-06-24) - ThesisThe isolation of graphene in 2004 and the subsequent characterisation of its many remarkable properties marked the start of an intense and ongoing research effort into other systems hosting so-called Dirac cones within ... -
Non-equilibrium quantum dynamics : interplay of disorder, interactions and confinement
(University of St Andrews, 2019-06-24) - ThesisThe study of collective behaviour in many-body systems often explores fundamentally new ideas absent from the mere constituents of such a system. A paradigmatic model for these studies is the spin-1/2 XXZ chain and its ... -
Optical techniques for the investigation of a mechanical role for FRMD6/Willin in the Hippo signalling pathway
(University of St Andrews, 2019-06-24) - ThesisThe mammalian hippo signalling pathway controls cell proliferation and apoptosis via transcriptional co-activators YAP and TAZ, and as such is a key regulator of organ and tissue growth. Multiple cellular components ... -
Optoelectronic applications of lead halide perovskites
(University of St Andrews, 2018-12-06) - ThesisHybrid perovskites are a new class of semiconductor which have proven to be an ideal material for making thin film solar cells. They have the advantages of flexibility, low cost, and easy processing, whilst achieving ...
