    • The behaviour of ions in the presence of the liquid vapour interface in helium 

      Kennedy, Stuart G. (University of St Andrews, 1972) - Thesis
      The thesis is concerned with some of the properties of positive and negative ions in liquid Helium, and in particular with the passage of ions, which are generated inside the liquid, through the free liquid surface into ...

    • On the thermo-electric power and thermal conductivity of semi-conductivity of semi-conductors and metals 

      Neaves, Angus (University of St Andrews, 1955) - Thesis
      The first successful attempt to explain the electrical and thermal properties of metals was made by the Drude-Lorentz theory at the beginning of this century. According to Drude, certain electrons were free to move from ...

    • Some magneto-dynamic properties of type II superconductors 

      Chou, Chan Shin (University of St Andrews, 1978) - Thesis
      The possibility of making a refrigerator by mechanically induced flux flow to transfer heat in a type II superconductor has been examined. Heat generation due to flux flow was sufficient to destroy the cooling effect over ...

    • Destruction of superconductivity by a current 

      Mukherjee, Benoy Kumar (University of St Andrews, 1971) - Thesis
      We have carried out an experimental investigation of the resistance transition in Indium and Thallium wires when superconductivity is destroyed by a current. Our results, as well as those obtained previously by other ...

    • Some properties of the dynamic intermediate state in type 1 superconductors 

      Lerski, Richard A. (University of St Andrews, 1974) - Thesis
      The high resolution magneto-optic method using the Faraday effect in thin films of EuS:EuF₂has been used to observe the dynamic intermediate state induced by the passage of an electric current or a heat current through ...
