2. 1. Probing Magnetism at the Atomic Scale:  Non-Equilibrium Statistical Mechanics Theoretical Treatise

   Author : Juan David Vasquez Jaramillo; Jonas Fransson; Rosa Lopez; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Non-Equilibrium Statistical Mechanics; Magnetism; Quantum Optics; Quantum Coherence; RKKY; Colciencias; Equation of Motion; Jauho-Meir-Wingreen Formalism; Physics with spec. in Atomic; Molecular and Condensed Matter Physics; Fysik med inriktning mot atom- molekyl- och kondenserande materiens fysik; Physics with specialization in Quantum Chemistry; Fysik med inriktning mot kvantkemi; Physics and Astronomy specializing in Theoretical Physics; Fysik och astronomi med inriktning mot teoretisk fysik;

   Abstract : Here, I present a theoretical study, based on non-equilibrium quantum statistical mechanics and on the non-equilibrium extension to the RKKY intveraction,where I investigate the emergence of magnetism at the atomic scale in adsorbed molecular complexes hosting localized spin moments, at the stake of being probed with scanning tunneling microscopy tip, and being driven by a temperature gradient and gated by an electric field. The scanning tunneling microscopy set up is modeled as a molecular junction with a magnetic molecule embedded within it, where the molecule consists in a set of electronic levels resembling the typical s-p orbitals of a metal hydride or an organometal, and a localized spin moment resembling the magnetic unit hosted by the latter and former type of molecules mentioned.

4. 2. Scattering Amplitudes in Supersymmetric Quantum Chromodynamics and Gravity

   Author : Gregor Kälin; Henrik Johansson; Lance J. Dixon; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Scattering Amplitudes; Supersymmetric Gauge Theory; Supergravity; Quantum Chromodynamics; Physics and Astronomy specializing in Theoretical Physics; Fysik och astronomi med inriktning mot teoretisk fysik;

   Abstract : Quantum field theory is a theoretical framework for the description of nature in terms of fundamental particles, fields and their interactions. In the quantum regime, elementary scattering processes are observables in many experiments and studied in theoretical physics. READ MORE

5. 3. Bending, Twisting and Turning : Protein Modeling and Visualization from a Gauge-Invariance Viewpoint

   Author : Martin Lundgren; Antti Niemi; Jørgen Ellegaard Andersen; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; protein folding; discrete frenet frame; solitons; protein visualization; Physics and Astronomy specializing in Theoretical Physics; Fysik och astronomi med inriktning mot teoretisk fysik;

   Abstract : Proteins in nature fold to one dominant native structure. Despite being a heavily studied field, predicting the native structure from the amino acid sequence and modeling the folding process can still be considered unsolved problems. In this thesis I present a new approach to this problem with methods borrowed from theoretical physics. READ MORE

6. 4. Water Splitting Mechanism on 2D Catalytic Materials : DFT based Theoretical Investigations

   Author : John Wärnå; Rajeev Ahuja; Sudip Chakraborty; Anton Grigoriev; Henrik Ottosson; Naurang Saini; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Physics and Astronomy specializing in Theoretical Physics; Fysik och astronomi med inriktning mot teoretisk fysik; Physics with spec. in Atomic; Molecular and Condensed Matter Physics; Fysik med inriktning mot atom- molekyl- och kondenserande materiens fysik;

   Abstract : In this thesis, we have envisaged systematic investigation to predict the water splitting mechanism on ultra-thin two-dimensional (2D) materials using cutting edge computation. Three different families of materials are considered as the case studies - i.MX2 (where M= W and Pt) based transition metal dichalcogenides, ii. READ MORE

7. 5. An Exploration of Q-Systems : From Spin Chains to Low-Dimensional AdS/CFT

   Author : Simon Ekhammar; Dmytro Volin; Konstantin Zarembo; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Quantum Spectral Curve; Integrability; AdS CFT; Physics and Astronomy specializing in Theoretical Physics; Fysik och astronomi med inriktning mot teoretisk fysik;

   Abstract : The discovery of integrability in the planar limit of the AdS5/CFT4 correspondence has led to impressive progress in the study of string theory and four-dimensional N=4 Super-Yang-Mills. In particular, with the formulation of the Quantum Spectral Curve (QSC) the spectral problem is now solved. READ MORE
