Distinguishing standard from modified gravity in the local group and beyond
(University of St Andrews, 2018-06-27) - ThesisThe works in this portfolio test the hypothesis that it is not possible to extrapolate the Newtonian inverse square law of gravity from Solar System to galaxy scales. In particular, I look into various tests of Modified ... -
Modelling non-Markovian quantum systems using tensor networks
(University of St Andrews, 2020-07) - ThesisAccurately modelling the behaviour of quantum systems interacting with the environment is vital to the development of quantum technology. Open quantum systems are well understood when the influence of their environment ... -
What makes a star turn violent? : exploring high-mass star formation and stellar magnetic helicity
(University of St Andrews, 2020-12-01) - ThesisHigh-mass stars play an important role in both the dynamical and chemical evolution of the galaxy, hence how they form has long been a topic of interest. In this thesis I explore accretion as a possible means of forming ... -
Optoelectronic measurements of organic and hybrid solar cells
(University of St Andrews, 2021-06-28) - ThesisOrganic and hybrid perovskite solar cells offer a cost-effective and efficient alternative to traditional silicon solar technologies. Also, the tunability of these photoactive materials allows for devices to be crafted for ... -
New thermally activated delayed fluorescence emitters and room-temperature organic long-persistent luminescence
(University of St Andrews, 2021-06-28) - ThesisOrganic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) have attracted a lot of attentions because of their high performance in display applications. Organic emitters are still being developed to improve efficiency, colour gamut and ...
