Phase transitions in two-dimensional itinerant electron systems
(University of St Andrews, 2020-12-01) - ThesisThe aim of this thesis it to contribute to three open problems in the theory of itinerant electron systems in two spatial dimensions. Firstly, the mechanism for charge density wave formation in the transition metal ... -
Photonic crystal cavity based optical induced transparency
(University of St Andrews, 2020-12-01) - ThesisNowadays, information technology has been deeply integrated in our daily life. However, within its rapid development, it faces a serious bottleneck due to the prohibitive power consumption and limited transmission bandwidth ... -
Interplay of spin-orbit coupling and crystal symmetries in the electronic structures of NbGeSb and Ca₃Ru₂O₇
(University of St Andrews, 2020-07-27) - ThesisThis thesis presents the study of electronic structure of two materials with strong spin-orbit coupling using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) experiments and density-functional theory (DFT) band calculations. ... -
Cool star magnetic field topologies : connecting simulations and observations for solar-like stars
(University of St Andrews, 2020-07-27) - ThesisGood knowledge about cool star magnetic activity, topology and cycles is crucial to find a second solar system and to better understand ours. The Zeeman-Doppler-Imaging (ZDI) surveys, which unveil the stellar magnetic ... -
Strong matter-light coupling with organic molecules and inorganic semiconductors
(University of St Andrews, 2019-12-03) - ThesisThis dissertation studies the effects of strong matter-light coupling on properties of organic molecules and inorganic semiconductors. The interplay of complex intramolecular dynamics and strong coupling of a photon to ...
