11. Bound by long-range interactions: Molecular crystals and benzene on Cu(111)
Sammanfattning : This thesis investigates molecular systems bound by long-range interactions. Westudy molecular crystals held together by van der Waals forces and the physisorption of benzene (Bz) on Cu(111). LÄS MER
12. Active Matter in a Critical State: From passive building blocks to active molecules, engines, and active droplets
Sammanfattning : The motion of microscopic objects is strongly affected by their surrounding environment. In quiescent liquids, motion is reduced to random fluctuations known as Brownian motion. Nevertheless, microorganisms have been able to develop mechanisms to generate active motion. LÄS MER
13. Methane oxidation over palladium oxide. From electronic structure to catalytic conversion
Sammanfattning : Understanding how catalysts work down to the atomic level can provide ways to improve chemical processes on which our contemporary economy is heavily reliant. The oxidation of methane is one such example, which is important from an environmental point of view. LÄS MER
14. Numerical Simulations of Plasmonic Nanostructures
Sammanfattning : This thesis focuses on the study of metallic nanostructures that support plasmons. Special emphasis is devoted to two specific numerical methods that allow us to predict plasmon characteristics: the discrete dipole approximation (DDA) and the Green's tensor (GT) method. LÄS MER
15. Unveiling the nature of dark matter with direct detection experiments
Sammanfattning : The desire of discovery is an anthropic need which characterises and connects the human being over the eras. In particular, observing the sky is an instinctive drive exerted by the curiosity of the mysteries which it retains. LÄS MER
