Scanning tunnelling microscopy of magnetic van der Waals materials
(2024-06-10) - ThesisUnderstanding the properties of materials is essential for control of their behaviour for future applications. Devices based on two-dimensional van der Waals materials have wide-ranging technological possibilities, from ... -
Studying the electronic structure of the polar surfaces of delafossites using μ-ARPES
(2024-06-10) - ThesisThis thesis presents the results of my angle-resolved photoemission (ARPES) study of the delafossite oxides PdCoO₂, PtCoO₂ and PdCrO₂ as well as delafossite-like AgCrSe₂. When cleaving the sample, their layered ABX₂ structure ... -
Mean-field and cumulant approaches to modelling organic polariton physics
(2024-06-10) - ThesisIn this thesis we develop methods for many-body open quantum systems and apply them to systems of organic polaritons. The methods employ a mean-field approach to reduce the dimensionality of large-scale problems. Initially ... -

Under pressure : measuring nanometre distance changes in biomolecules
(2024-06-10) - ThesisPulse dipolar electron paramagnetic resonance (PD EPR) spectroscopy is a technique with the ability to measure dipole-dipole interactions between unpaired electrons. Through careful analysis, distances between specifically ...
