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 ... -
