    • Uniaxial stress technique and investigations into correlated electron systems 

      Barber, Mark E. (University of St Andrews, 2017-06-21) - Thesis
      In the repertoire of an experimental condensed matter physicist, the ability to tune continuously through features in the electronic structure and to selectively break point-group symmetries are both valuable techniques. ...

    • Novel scanning techniques for CCD image capture and display 

      Emberson, M.D. (Matthew David) (University of St Andrews, 1995-07) - Thesis
      This work details two investigations into image capture, taken from the fields of x-ray and laser research, and also details two scanning systems: a wire surface generator and a video security device. Firstly a camera ...

    • Novel solid-state millimetre-wave sources 

      Robertson, Malcolm R. (University of St Andrews, 1993-07) - Thesis
      A study of some principal solid-state millimetre-wave sources was carried out, using mainly quasi-optical techniques developed at St. Andrews. A review of the theory of operation of Gunn oscillators was undertaken, and a ...

    • Linear and nonlinear optical pulse characterisation 

      Finch, Andrew (University of St Andrews, 1989-07) - Thesis
      Developmental work on the generation and measurement of ultrashort pulses has been performed. A colliding pulse, passively mode-locked (CPM) ring dye laser has been investigated by spectral analysis and the nonlinear ...

    • Design and evaluation of ultrafast electron-optical streak and framing cameras 

      Liu, Yueping (University of St Andrews, 1993-07) - Thesis
      The assessment of the performance of ultrafast electron-optical cameras operating in single-shot, synchroscan streak modes and framing mode has been accomplished and it has provided a better understanding of the limiting ...
