Beyond Markovian dissipation at the nanoscale : towards finding quantum design rules for bio-organic nanodevices
(University of St Andrews, 2023-11-29) - ThesisA better understanding of dissipation is crucial for understanding real-world quantum systems. Indeed, all quantum systems experience interactions with an (often) uncontrollable outside environment that can lead to a decay ... -
STM imaging of strongly correlated materials with spin-orbit coupling
(University of St Andrews, 2022-06-13) - ThesisMost of the properties of electrons in conducting materials that we encounter in our everyday lives can be explained very neatly by considering them to be independent entities residing in the crystal lattice potential, as ... -
Imaging emergent correlated phases in the strontium ruthenates
(University of St Andrews, 2022-06-13) - ThesisIn strongly correlated electron materials, charge, spin and orbital degrees of freedom exhibit an intimate relationship, leading to new emergent phases that seemingly break the symmetries of the underlying crystal and are ... -
Investigation of transport regimes in restricted geometries of ultra-pure natural heterostructures
(University of St Andrews, 2022-06-13) - ThesisThis thesis describes investigations into the origins of the unconventional electrical transport of the non-magnetic delafossite metals PtCoO₂ and PdCoO₂ and the magnetic delafossite metal PdCrO₂ using focused ion beam ... -
