    • Atmospheres of rocky exoplanets 

      Herbort, Oliver (2022-06-13) - Thesis
      The increasing number of known rocky exoplanets motivates investigations of the diversity of atmospheric and surface composition of these planets. We investigate the link between the composition of the surface, near-crust ...

    • Mineral snowflakes on exoplanets and brown dwarfs 

      Samra, Dominic Bartholomew Singh (2023-06-12) - Thesis
      The diversity of exoplanets and brown dwarfs provides ideal atmospheric laboratories to investigate novel physico-chemical regimes. Furthermore, the atmospheres of exoplanets act as the history books of planetary system. ...

    • Beyond Markovian dissipation at the nanoscale : towards finding quantum design rules for bio-organic nanodevices 

      Lacroix, Thibaut (University of St Andrews, 2023-11-29) - Thesis
      A better understanding of dissipation is crucial for understanding real-world quantum systems. Indeed, all quantum systems experience interactions with an (often) uncontrollable outside environment that can lead to a decay ...

    • STM imaging of strongly correlated materials with spin-orbit coupling 

      Chakraborti, Dibyashree (University of St Andrews, 2022-06-13) - Thesis
      Most of the properties of electrons in conducting materials that we encounter in our everyday lives can be explained very neatly by considering them to be independent entities residing in the crystal lattice potential, as ...

    • Imaging emergent correlated phases in the strontium ruthenates 

      De Almeida Marques, Carolina (University of St Andrews, 2022-06-13) - Thesis
      In strongly correlated electron materials, charge, spin and orbital degrees of freedom exhibit an intimate relationship, leading to new emergent phases that seemingly break the symmetries of the underlying crystal and are ...
