1. 11. Superfluid Phase Transitions in Disordered Systems

   Författare :Hannes Meier; Mats Wallin Wallin; Peter Olsson; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis presents results from large scale Monte Carlo simulations of systems subject to a superfluid phase transition in the presence of disorder. The simulations are performed by state-of-the-art, collective Monte Carlo algorithms treating phase degrees of freedom in effective models with amplitude fluctuations integrated out. LÄS MER

4. 13. Designing and Tuning the Properties of Materials by Quantum Mechanical Calculations

   Författare :Jailton Souza de Almeida; Rajeev Ahuja; Patrizia Monachesi; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Physics; Density Functional Theory; Electronic Structure; Phase Transitions; High Pressure; Optical Properties; Dielectric Functions; Semiconductors; Metals; Fysik;

   Sammanfattning : In many materials, changes in chemical composition, pressure or temperature can induce metal to insulator transitions. It is recently observed in yttrium hydride, for example, changes from a shiny mirror (YH2) to a transparent window (YH3), which has important technological application in optical devices. LÄS MER

5. 14. Topological Phase Transitions in Magnetic Nanostructures of Dirac Materials

   Författare :Nezhat Pournaghavi; Carlo M. Canali; Michael Flatté; Linnéuniversitetet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Topological insulators; Magnetic materials; Quantum anomalous Hall effect; Topological magneto electric effect; Dirac semimetals; Weyl semimetals; Condensed Matter Physics; Kondenserade materians fysik;

   Sammanfattning : Over the past two decades, the discovery of topological Dirac materials, such as topological insulators and semimetals, has defined a new paradigm in condensed matter physics and established new platforms for realizing spin electronic devices and quantum computing. The novel quantum properties of these materials, which are mainly due to the presence of strong spin-orbit coupling, are invariant under topological transformations, making them more resilient to structural disorder, electromagnetic and thermal fluctuations in comparison to the conventional silicon-based materials.

7. 15. Type-II interband quantum dot photodetectors

   Författare :Oscar Gustafsson; Mattias Hammar; Wenquan Ma; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; photodetector; quantum dot; infrared; MOVPE; thermal imaging; type-II; photoluminescence; III V; InSb; InGaSb; InAs; SRA - ICT; SRA - Informations- och kommunikationsteknik;

   Sammanfattning : Photon detectors based on single-crystalline materials are of great interest for high performance imaging applications due to their low noise and fast response. The major detector materials for sensing in the long-wavelength infrared (LWIR) band (8-14 µm) are currently HgCdTe (MCT) and AlGaAs/GaAs quantum wells (QW) used in intraband-based quantum-well infrared photodetectors (QWIPs).
