The equations of motion are derived for the dynamical folding of charged molecular strands (such as DNA) modeled as flexible continuous filamentary distributions of interacting rigid charge conformations. The new feature is that these equations are nonloca ...
Ferroelectric perovskites exhibit superior dielectric, piezoelectric and ferroelectric properties. Architecting ferroelectrics in the small scale holds interest in both application and fundamental research. Compared to their 2D counterparts – thin films, f ...
The underlying goal of this Master's thesis is of laying down, in so far as possible, the foundations for later work in Geometric Stochastic Mechanics. The first part is a presentation of symplectic reduction, going through the momentum map and culminating ...
A new spin on C60: Axially chiral, pushpull buta-1,3-diene chromophores conjugated to vicinally methylated fullerenes (see picture) have high barriers of rotation about their chiral axes. These high barriers allowed their optical resolution and the determi ...
We present a combined experimental investigation of magnetic normal modes in an antidot lattice using both Brillouin light scattering and broadband ferromagnetic resonance. It was fabricated on a silicon substrate using optical ultraviolet lithography. The ...

We present a method for determining molecular orientation from second-order nonlinear light scattering experiments. Our modeling shows that there is an optimal angular region, for which the scattering pattern is most sensitive to molecular orientation. We ...
We report an experimental investigation of the magnetic normal modes in large-area Ni80Fe20 antidot arrays fabricated on commercially available silicon substrates using deep ultraviolet lithography at 248 nm exposing wavelength. The effect of the lattice s ...

A detailed structural analysis of the surface supported self-assembly of terphenyl-4,4′′-dicarbonitrile molecules (NC−Ph3−CN) linked by Co adatoms on Ag(111) reveals different surface patterns depending on the constraints applied to the system. Without con ...
A room temperature polariton condensate realized in a microcavity with embedded GaN quantum wells emits linearly polarized light at threshold with the plane of polarization pinned to one of the crystallographic axes. With increasing pumping power, a depinn ...
