Manipulating anisotropic transport and superconductivity by focused ion beam microstructuring
(University of St Andrews, 2019-06-24) - ThesisThis thesis presents the results of electrical transport experiments performed on two microstructured quantum materials, namely on the ultra-pure metal PdCoO₂ and on the heavy fermion superconductor CeIrIn₅. Throughout ... -
The role of large scale flows in molecular cloud formation in spiral galaxies
(University of St Andrews, 2019-06-24) - ThesisStar formation begins on the large scales of a galaxy and takes place on the smallest scales. As the interstellar gas flows into a spiral arm, it forms a shock where the change in density, coupled to self-gravity and thermal ... -

Designed topological states from hybrid spiral magnet-superconductor heterostructures
(University of St Andrews, 2019-06-24) - ThesisIn this thesis a Green’s function based, analytical formalism is developed to describe dense chains of spiral ordered classical magnetic moments embedded in superconducting substrates. I demonstrate that an understanding ... -
Spin- and angle-resolved photoemission study of topological band inversions within a single orbital manifold
(University of St Andrews, 2019-06-24) - ThesisThe isolation of graphene in 2004 and the subsequent characterisation of its many remarkable properties marked the start of an intense and ongoing research effort into other systems hosting so-called Dirac cones within ...
