Spin and Charge transport in Dirac Materials

Alexander Ronald Hoyer

The digitalization of our world is proceeding with every new technical product placed on the market. By making them smarter, e.g. linking them together and equipping them with sensors, a vast mass of data is collected. Processing and storing this informati ...

The role of disorder in the electronic and transport properties of monolayer and bilayer graphene

Fernando Gargiulo

This thesis is devoted to the computational study of the electronic and transport properties of monolayer and bilayer graphene in the presence of disorder arising from both topological and point defects. Among the former, we study grain boundaries in monol ...

State of the Art in Surface Reconstruction from Point Clouds

Andrea Tagliasacchi

The area of surface reconstruction has seen substantial progress in the past two decades. The traditional problem addressed by surface reconstruction is to recover the digital representation of a physical shape that has been scanned, where the scanned data ...

Input-output theory of the unconventional photon blockade

Vincenzo Savona, Hugo Pierre Alexandre Flayac

We study the unconventional photon blockade, recently proposed for a coupled-cavity system, in the presence of input and output quantum fields. Mixing of the input or output channels still allows strong photon antibunching of the output field, but for opti ...

Finite-Size Supercell Correction for Charged Defects at Surfaces and Interfaces

Alfredo Pasquarello, Hannu-Pekka Komsa

A finite-size supercell correction scheme is introduced for the formation energy of charged defects at surfaces and interfaces. The scheme combines classical electrostatics with the dielectric profile and the electrostatic potential extracted from the elec ...

Two-axis solar tracking accomplished through small lateral translations

High-concentration solar-power optics require precise two-axis tracking. The planar micro-optic solar concentrator uses a lenslet array over a planar waveguide with small reflective facets at the focal point of each lenslet to couple incident light into th ...

Toxicity study of nanostructures

Lenke Horváth

The great achievement of nanotechnology is the controlled synthesis of a large variety of nanometer-size materials like needle-formed nanotubes, nanowires and two-dimensional graphene flakes. Due to their unique physico-chemical properties, these nanostruc ...

Applications of the Transfinite Map for Parametrized Domain Decomposition

Christoph Jäggli

A big challenge in the last few years is to perform simulations of cardiovascular systems. Since it would be too computational expensive and complicated to simulate an entire blood circuit, an idea is to use a Domain Decomposition (DD) technique and to spl ...

Drawing with Nanostencils on Flexible Substrates

Jürgen Brugger, Andreea Veronica Savu, Oliver Peric

Nanostencils are used in dynamic mode to pattern on top of flexible substrates. As the stencil is moving during the material evaporation, the obtained structures are the convolution between the stencil trajectory and the apertures’ geometry. Variable-thick ...

Defect levels of carbon-related defects at the SiC/SiO2 interface from hybrid functionals

Alfredo Pasquarello, Peter Broqvist, Audrius Alkauskas, Fabien Devynck

We investigate carbon single-atom and pair defects at the SiC/SiO2 interface as candidate defects for the density of defect states in the SiC band gap. In order to accurately describe the electronic defect levels with respect to the SiC band edges, we use ...
