1. Motion in Language and Experience : Actual and Non-actual motion in Swedish, French and Thai
Abstract : This thesis deals with motion in language and non-linguistic experience, distinguishing between actual motion (AM) and non-actual motion (NAM). AM is the experience of continuous change in an object’s position, expressed in sentences such as 'The man runs through the forest' and 'The woman is walking'. READ MORE

2. Structure-dynamics relationships in perovskite oxyhydrides and alkali silanides
Abstract : This thesis focuses on investigations of the local structure and dynamics of two classes of hydrogen-containing, energy relevant, materials; perovskite type oxyhydrides BaTiO3-xHx and alkali silanides ASiH3 (A = K and Rb). In the area of oxyhydrides, which are of relevance for the development of electrolytes in fuel cells and batteries, the aim is to elucidate the dynamics and electronic character of the hydrogen species in the materials.

3. Mechanistic aspects of structure and dynamics in perovskite type oxyhydrides and alkali silanides
Abstract : This Thesis concerns experimental studies of the two alkali silanides ASiH3 (A = K and Rb) and the recently discovered perovskite type oxyhydrides BaTiO3-xHx (x = 0.14 and 0.40). READ MORE

4. Atomic transport in optical lattices
Abstract : This thesis includes both experimental and theoretical investigations of fluctuation-induced transport phenomena, presented in a series of nine papers, by studies of the dynamics of cold atoms in dissipative optical lattices. With standard laser cooling techniques about 108 cesium atoms are accumulated, cooled to a few μK, and transferred into a dissipative optical lattice. READ MORE

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