Through-space interactions in thermally activated delayed fluorescent emitters : novel materials and organic light emitting diodes
(University of St Andrews, 2020-06-22) - ThesisThermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) has emerged as one of the most promising and efficient approaches realizing highly efficient organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). This attractive approach utilizes organic ... -
Diode-pumped Tm³⁺-doped sesquioxide lasers for ultrashort pulse applications in the 2μm region
(University of St Andrews, 2020-06-22) - ThesisThis thesis presents the development of Tm³⁺-doped sesquioxide laser sources in the 2–2.1 μm spectral region. The primary focus of this development has been aimed towards high power diode-pumped mode-locked laser sources ... -
Tensor network simulations of open quantum systems
(University of St Andrews, 2020-06-22) - ThesisThe nonequilibrium effects of dissipation and drive play a key role in an immense variety of nanoscale and mesoscale quantum systems. To understand the behaviour of open quantum systems, we need accurate methods that capture ... -
Majorana mediated non-local charge dynamics in topological superconductors
(University of St Andrews, 2019-12-03) - ThesisTopology has enjoyed great success as a paradigm for the classification and understanding of condensed matter outside the framework of spontaneously broken symmetry. This success is all the more remarkable considering ... -
New frontiers in strain-tuning : apparatus development, and tuning of the nemacity of FeSe across a wide strain range
(University of St Andrews, 2019-06-24) - ThesisOver the last decade, an ‘iron age’ of superconductivity has challenged the paradigm of unconventional pairing established by copper-oxide-based materials. Fascinatingly, in these iron-based compounds superconductivity ...
