Prominences : the phantom menace

Waugh, Rosie (2023-11-29) - Thesis

It has been proposed that slingshot prominences may be a mass and angular momentum loss mechanism for rapidly rotating young stars. Stellar evolution models currently rely only on the wind as the angular momentum loss ...
Learning and interpreting the galaxy-halo connection in cosmic simulations

Chittenden, Harry George (2023-11-29) - Thesis

In modern galactic astronomy, cosmological simulations and observational galaxy surveys work hand in hand, offering valuable insights into the historical evolution of galaxies on both cosmological scales and an individual ...
Angle-resolved photoemission studies of uniaxial stress-driven Lifshitz transitions in the bulk and surface electronic structure of Sr₂RuO₄

Abarca Morales, Edgar (2023-11-29) - Thesis

In experimental condensed matter physics, the utilisation of momentum-resolved probes has proven valuable in disentangling the underpinning effects driving the formation of rich collective states in quantum materials. ...
An electrically driven organic semiconductor laser

Gong, Junyi (2023-11-29) - Thesis

This thesis presents the design and demonstration of an electrically driven organic semiconductor laser. The laser utilized an indirect pumping structure where the current injection section was spatially separated from the ...
Determination of conformational changes in the structure of human calmodulin-1 using electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy

Fisher, Stuart Ronan (2023-11-29) - Thesis

Double electron electron resonance spectroscopy is a versatile and powerful tool for probing paramagnetic systems such metalloproteins and proteins with conjugated spin labels. Chapter 1 introduces EPR theory and the ...
