  1. 16. Effects of disorder in metallic systems from First-Principles calculations

    Författare :Christian Asker; Igor Abrikosov; Jörg Neugebauer; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Iron; Nickel; Magnesium; Manganese; Molybdenum; Zirconium; Elastic Constants; High pressure; Earth s core; Density-functional theory; Ab-initio; First-Principles; Core-level shifts; Molecular Dynamics; Phonons; Dynamical Instability; Condensed matter physics; Kondenserade materiens fysik; Computational physics; Beräkningsfysik;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis, quantum-mechanical calculations within density-functional theory on metallic systems are presented. The overarching goal has been to investigate effects of disorder. In particular, one of the properties investigated is the bindingenergy shifts for core electrons in binary alloys using different theoretical methods. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Investigations of Strong Light-Matter Interactions in Nanophotonic Systems

    Författare :Michael Stührenberg; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; photoluminescence; strong coupling; localized surface plasmon resonance; bipyramids;

    Sammanfattning : Noble metal nanoparticles can support localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPR), thus behaving as open optical resonators. Outstanding optical properties as well as a subwavelength mode volume make plasmonic nanoparticles a promising platform for enhanced light-matter interactions. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Dark matter electron interactions in detector materials

    Författare :Einar Urdshals; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; effective theory; Dark matter; direct detection;

    Sammanfattning : Dark Matter (DM) makes up 85% of the matter content of the universe, and its gravitational effects are seen on scales ranging from that of cosmology to that of galactic astrophysics. The nature of DM is, however, unknown. LÄS MER

  5. 19. A Matter of Disorder : Monte Carlo Simulations of Phase Transitions in Strongly Disordered Systems

    Författare :Marios Nikolaou; Mats Wallin; Asle Sudbø; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; phase transitions; disorder; Monte Carlo simulations; superconductivity; Statistical physics; Statistisk fysik;

    Sammanfattning : Phase transitions and their critical scaling properties, especially in systems with disorder, are important both for our theoretical understanding of our environment, but also for their practical use in applications and materials in our everyday life. This thesis presents results from finite size scaling analysis of critical phenomena in systems with disorder, using high-precision Monte Carlo simulations and state of the art numerical methods.

  7. 20. Supersymmetric Dark Matter : aspects of sfermion coannihilations

    Författare :Mia Schelke; Joakim Edsjö; Nicolao Fornengo; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Supersymmetry; Dark Matter; Physics; Fysik;

    Sammanfattning : There is very strong evidence that ordinary matter in the Universe is outweighed by almost ten times as much so-called dark matter. Dark matter does neither emit nor absorb light and we do not know what it is. LÄS MER
