  4. 7. Classical and Quantum Descriptions of Proteins, Lipids and Membranes

    Author : Richard Tjörnhammar; Olle Edholm; Sagar Pandit; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Quantum corrections; Coordination structure; Polarisation; Phase transitions; Kelvin differential equation; Line tension; Elastic membrane models; Molecular particle models; Zinc binding; Cholesterol and Phospholipids; Biological Physics; Biologisk fysik;

    Abstract : In this thesis the properties of proteins and membranes are studied by molecular dynamics simulations. The subject is decomposed into parts addressing free energy calculations in proteins, mechanical inclusion models for lipid bilayers, phase transitions and structural correlations in lipid bilayers and atomistic lipid bilayer models.

    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; quantum materials; neutron; muon; X-ray; symmetry; phase transitions; Material and Nano Physics; Material- och nanofysik;

    Abstract : This thesis ranges within the vast framework of experimental condensed matter physics. Several different systems, and physical phenomena, are presented here from a structuralist standpoint. READ MORE

  6. 9. Phase transitions and phase frustration in multicomponent superconductors

    Author : Daniel Weston; Egor Babaev; Mats Wallin; Ilya Eremin; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Fysik; Physics;

    Abstract : Multicomponent superconductors described by several complex matter fields have properties radically different from those of their single-component counterparts. Examples include partially ordered phases and spontaneous breaking of time-reversal symmetry due to frustration between Josephson-coupled components. READ MORE

  7. 10. Triptych of quantum matter in one dimension : Playful constructions in theoretical and computational physics
