    • Non-equilibrium quantum dynamics : interplay of disorder, interactions and confinement 

      Schulz, Maximilian (University of St Andrews, 2019-06-24) - Thesis
      The study of collective behaviour in many-body systems often explores fundamentally new ideas absent from the mere constituents of such a system. A paradigmatic model for these studies is the spin-1/2 XXZ chain and its ...

    • Optical techniques for the investigation of a mechanical role for FRMD6/Willin in the Hippo signalling pathway 

      Goff, Frances (University of St Andrews, 2019-06-24) - Thesis
      The mammalian hippo signalling pathway controls cell proliferation and apoptosis via transcriptional co-activators YAP and TAZ, and as such is a key regulator of organ and tissue growth. Multiple cellular components ...

    • Optoelectronic applications of lead halide perovskites 

      Harwell, Jonathon R. (University of St Andrews, 2018-12-06) - Thesis
      Hybrid perovskites are a new class of semiconductor which have proven to be an ideal material for making thin film solar cells. They have the advantages of flexibility, low cost, and easy processing, whilst achieving ...

    • Information transfer in open quantum systems 

      Levi, Elliott Kendrick (University of St Andrews, 2017-06-21) - Thesis
      This thesis covers open quantum systems and information transfer in the face of dissipation and disorder through numerical simulation. In Chapter 3 we present work on an open quantum system comprising a two-level system, ...

    • Heat capacity measurements of Sr₂RuO₄ under uniaxial stress 

      Li, You-Sheng (University of St Andrews, 2018-12-06) - Thesis
      The most-discussed pairing symmetry in Sr₂RuO₄ is chiral p-wave, 𝑝ₓ ± 𝑖𝑝[sub]𝑦, whose degeneracy is protected by the lattice symmetry. When the lattice symmetry is lowered by the application of a symmetry-breaking ...
