Energy Level Alignment and Electron Transport Through Metal/Organic ContactsFrom Interfaces to Molecular Electronics

In recent years, ever more electronic devices have started to exploit the advantages of organic semiconductors. The work reported in this thesis focuses on analyzing theoretically the energy level alignment of different metal/organic interfaces, necessary to tailor devices with good performance. Traditional methods based on density functional theory (DFT), are not appropriate for analyzing them because they underestimate the organic energy gap and fail to correctly describe the van der Waals forces. Since the size of these systems prohibits the use of more accurate methods, corrections to those DFT drawbacks are desirable. In this work a combination of a standard DFT cal-culation with the inclusion of the charging energy (U) of the molecule, calculated from first princip-les, is presented. Regarding the dispersion forces, incorrect long range interaction is substituted by a van der Waals potential.

Features 7 A new calculational approach to describing metal/organic interfaces 7 A valuable step towards a better understanding of molecular elect-ronics 7 Nominated as an outstanding contribu-tion by the Autonomous University of Madrid

Nonlinear Optics in the Filamentation RegimeThis thesis provides deep insights into currently controversial questions in laser filamentation, a highly complex phenomenon involving nonlinear optical effects and plasma physics. First, based on the concrete picture of a femtosecond laser beam which self-pinches its radial intensity distributi-on, the thesis delivers a novel explanation for the remarkable and previously unexplained pheno-menon of pulse self-compression in filaments. Moreover, the work addresses the impact of a non-adiabatic change of both nonlinearity and dispersion on such an intense femtosecond pulse transiting from a gaseous dielectric material to a solid one. Finally, and probably most importantly, the author presents a simple and highly practical theoretical approach for quantitatively estimating the influence of higher-order nonlinear optical effects in optics.

High Energy AstrophysicsAn Introduction

High-energy astrophysics has unveiled a Universe very different from that only known from optical observations. It has revealed many types of objects in which typical variability timescales are as short as years, months, days, and hours (in quasars, X-ray binaries, etc), and even down to milli-seconds in gamma ray bursts. The sources of energy that are encountered are only very seldom nuclear fusion, and most of the time gravitation, a paradox when one thinks that gravitation is, by many or-ders of magnitude, the weakest of the fundamental interactions.

Magnetism and Superconductivity in Iron-based Superconductors as Probed by Nuclear Magnetic ResonanceNuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) has been a fundamental player in the studies of supercon-ducting materials for many decades. This local probe technique allows for the study of the static electronic properties as well as of the low energy excitations of the electrons in the normal and the superconducting state. On that account it has also been widely applied to Fe-based superconductors from the very beginning of their discovery in February 2008. This dissertation comprises some of these very first NMR results, reflecting the unconventional nature of superconductivity and its strong link to magnetism in the investigated compounds LaO1–xFxFeAs and LiFeAs.

Dirac Spectra in Dense QCDGaining a theoretical understanding of the properties of ultra-relativistic dense matter has been one of the most important and challenging goals in quantum chromodynamics (QCD). In this thesis, the author analyzes dense quark matter in QCD with gauge group SU(2) using low-energy effective theoretical techniques and elucidates a novel connection between statistical properties of the Dirac operator spectrum at high baryon chemical potential and a special class of random matrix theories. This work can be viewed as an extension of a similar correspondence between QCD and matrix models which was previously known only for infinitesimal chemical potentials. In future numerical simulations of dense matter the analytical results reported here are expected to serve as a useful tool to extract physical observa-bles such as the BCS gap from numerical data on the Dirac spectrum.

Features 7 Summarizes in a coherent manner the full content of the author's research on applications of random matrix theory to QCD, which was originally published in separate papers 7 Con-tains a reader-friendly, detailed introduction to the physics of dense quark matter, with abundant references to the original literature 7 Nominated for an outstanding thesis of the Department of Physics by The University of Tokyo in 2011

Dissipative Solitons in Reaction Diffusion SystemsMechanisms, Dynamics, Interaction

Why writing a book about a specialized task of the large topic of complex systems? And who will read it? The answer is simple: The fascination for a didactically valuable point of view, the elegance of a closed concept and the lack of a comprehensive disquisition. The fascinating part is that field equa-tions can have localized solutions exhibiting the typical characteristics of particles. Regarding the field equations this book focuses on, the field phe-nomenon of localized solutions can be described in the context of a particle formalism, which leads to a set of ordinary differential equations covering the time evolution of the position and the velocity of each particle.

Features 7 Most comprehensive book on localized solu-tions in reaction systems 7 Covers all the related theoretical aspects in a closed concept 7 Provi-des a reference to researchers and a text to gradua-te students 7 Integrates the concepts of classical and elementary particle interaction

Miniature Joule-Thomson CryocoolingPrinciples and Practice

This book is the first in English being entirely de-dicated to Miniature Joule-Thomson Cryocooling. The category of Joule-Thomson (JT) cryocoolers takes us back to the roots of cryogenics, in 1895, with figures like Linde and Hampson. The „cold finger“ of these cryocoolers is compact, lacks moving parts, and sustains a large heat flux ext-raction at a steady temperature. Potentially, they cool down unbeatably fast. For example, cooling to below 100 K (minus 173 Celsius) might be accomplished within only a few seconds by lique-fying argon. A level of about 120 K can be reached almost instantly with krypton.

Features 7 The book offers a broad and comprehensive treatise of the subject with over 1000 references included 7 This book is a modern, updated work dedicated to miniature Joule-Thomson cryocoo-ling by a unique and accomplished combination of writers 7 The book includes a discussion and analysis of many significant patents in the field of cryogenics

Contents Cryocoolers - the Common Principle.- The Joule-Thomson Effect, its Inversion, and other Expansions.- The Linde-Hampson Cryocooling Process.- Thermodynamic Characterization of Coolants.- Principal Modes of Operation.- Const-ruction and Configuration.- The Transient Behavi-or.- Mixed Coolant Cryocooling.- Special Topics.

A Search for Ultra-High Energy Neutrinos and Cosmic-Rays with ANITA-2The winner of UCL‘s annual HEP thesis prize, this work describes an analysis of the data from the second flight of the Antarctica Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA). ANITA is a balloon-borne experiment that searches for radio signals origina-ting from ultra-high energy neutrinos and cosmic rays interacting with the Antarctic ice or air. The search for ultrahigh energy neutrinos of astro-physical origin is one of the outstanding experi-mental challenges of the 21st century. The ANITA experiment was designed to be the most sensitive instrument to ultra-high energy neutrinos that originate from the interactions of cosmic rays with the cosmic microwave background. The metho-dology and results of the neutrino and cosmic ray searches are presented in the thesis.

Features 7 Nominated as an outstanding contribution by University College London 7 Gives detailed insights into the challenging search for ultra-high energy neutrinos of astrophysical origin 7 Excel-lent introduction to the methodology and experi-mental subtleties, as well as statistical data analysis

Contents Particle Physics and the Neutrino.- Ultra-High Energy Astro-Particle Physics.- The Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna.- Event Simulation.- ANITA-2 Data Analysis.- Cosmic-Ray Search.- Neutrino Search.

Theory of Bilayer Graphene SpectroscopyThis thesis presents the theory of three key elements of optical spectroscopy of the electronic excitations in bilayer graphene: angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), visible range Raman spectroscopy, and far-infrared (FIR) magneto-spectroscopy. Bilayer graphene (BLG) is an atomic two-dimensional crystal consisting of two honeycomb monolayers of carbon, arranged according to Bernal stacking. The unperturbed BLG has a unique band structure, which features chiral states of electrons with a characteristic Berry phase of 2$\pi$, and it has versatile pro-perties which can be controlled by an externally applied transverse electric field and strain. It is shown in this work how ARPES of BLG can be used to obtain direct information about the chi-rality of electron states in the crystal. The author goes on to describe the influence of the interlayer asymmetry, which opens a gap in BLG, on ARPES and on FIR spectra in a strong magnetic field.

Features 7 Nominated as an outstanding contribution by the University of Lancaster 7 Investigates a novel material at the focus of much research interest 7 Valuable theoretical results show what different spectroscopic techniques can reveal about graphene

Z Boson Transverse Momentum Distribution, and ZZ and WZ ProductionMeasurements Using 7.3 – 8.6 fb–1 of pp Collisions at √s = 1.96 TeV

This work develops novel data analysis techniques enabling aspects of the Standard Model of particle physics to be tested with unprecedented precision using data from the DZero experiment at the high energy “Tevatron” proton-antiproton collider at Fermilab, Chicago. Vesterinen‘s measurements of the transverse momentum of Z bosons using the novel variable φ* have exposed deficiencies in the current state-of-the-art theoretical predictions for vector boson production at hadron colliders. These techniques are now being used in the experiments at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and have stimulated considerable interest in the theoretical particle physics community.

Features 7 Nominated as an outstanding contribution by the University of Manchester 7 Presents signifi-cant achievements with implications for ongoing particle physics experiments 7 Includes the most accurate ever measurements of vector boson pair production cross-sections

Contents Experimental Apparatus.- Experimental Tech-niques.- Electron and Photon Energy Calibrati-on.- Novel Variables for Studying the Drell-Yan Transverse Momentum.- Measurement of the Drell-Yan φ*η Distribution.- Measurement of the ZZ and WZ Production Cross Sections.
