Quantum interference effects : electromagnetically induced transparency and focusing
(University of St Andrews, 1997) - ThesisTheoretical and experimental studies of steady state quantum interference effects within an atomic vapour have been carried out. These include the effects of Electromagnetically Induced Transparency (E.I.T.), Electromagnetically ... -
Supersymmetric quantum field theories from induced representations
(University of St Andrews, 1989) - ThesisThis thesis investigates the application of the method of induced representations in supersymmetric quantum field theories. First, the main features of the theory of induced representations of Lie groups, Lie algebras and ... -
Theoretical treatments of phase transitions in systems of polyatomic molecules
(University of St Andrews, 1971) - ThesisAs is well known, the microscopic and macroscopic properties of a system of molecules may he linked by means of the canonical partition function of statistical mechanics. In principle, a knowledge of the intermolecular ... -
Static Fourier transform spectrometers and laser wavelength meters
(University of St Andrews, 1999) - ThesisThis thesis reports the development of novel static Fourier transform spectrometers based upon Wallaston prisms and compact detector arrays. The path difference between orthogonal polarisation states of the input light ... -
Spiral waves in accretion discs
(University of St Andrews, 2000) - ThesisThis thesis discusses observations of the interacting binary IP Pegasi and shows that its accretion disc carries strong, tidally driven spiral arms during outburst. The distribution of line emission across the accretion ...
