The study of quantum matter has become a great part of modern physics research. Quantum criticality appears in the vicinity of a quantum critical point where there is an interplay between quantum and thermal fluctuations. In the quantum critical region, ’e ...
Turbulence in the edge plasma of a tokamak is a key actor in the determination of the confinement properties. The divertor configuration seems to be beneficial for confinement, suggesting an effect on turbulence of the particular magnetic geometry introduc ...
This thesis contains two major topics, the restriction of tunneling to only a few channels in the scanning tunneling microscope (STM) and the interaction of local magnetic impurities with superconductivity. At a temperature of 15mK, the quantum back-action ...
In fundamental interactions research, dipolar magnets are particularly interesting to study since they provide a large spectrum of quantum phenomena [1-2]. Magnetic dipolar interaction are omnipresent in magnetic systems. However, in most of materials, var ...
Hall effect based Teslameters/Gaussmeters measure DC and AC magnetic flux densities in the range from a few mu T to about 30 T. For accurate measurement a 3-axis Hall probe is applied with small magnetic field sensitive volume (MFSV) of 100 mu m x 10 mu m ...
Cavitating tip-leakage vortices appear in several hydrodynamic flows such as marine propellers or Kaplan turbines. Cavitating computations are a challenging topic since several keys issues are an ongoing work such as the definition of a universal mass sour ...
In small-sized tokamaks, finite Larmor radius effects could lead to a significant discrepancy between gyrokinetic local flux-tube results and global ones. This has been highlighted by previous turbulent transport studies as in McMillan et al (2010 Phys. Re ...
Combining inelastic neutron scattering and numerical simulations, we study the quasi-one-dimensional Ising anisotropic quantum antiferromagnet BaCo2V2O8 in a longitudinal magnetic field. This material shows a quantum phase transition from a Neel ordered ph ...
We investigated the influence of oxygen overstoichiometry on apical oxygen disorder and magnetic correlations in Nd2NiO4+delta (delta similar to 0.11) in the temperature range of 2-300 K by means of synchrotron x-ray powder diffraction, neutron single-crys ...
The BDTMe molecule-based material is the first example of a thiazyl radical to exhibit metamagnetic behavior. Contrary to the common idea that metamagnetism occurs in low-dimensional systems, it is found that BDTMe magnetic topology consists of a complex 3 ...
