We discuss recent high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission (ARPES) and time-resolved ARPES experiments on selected surfaces which illustrate the formation of broken-symmetry ground states of very different nature: i) a Mott insulator in the layered dic ...
In a molecular semiconductor, a charged molecule experiences a lattice relaxation which reorganizes it into a cation or an anion-radical. This species is not, in general, a polaron. By using calculations of the geometry and the electronic structure both ab ...
This work is dedicated to the study of models of quantum chaos. It is clear that one cannot define chaos in quantum mechanics the same way it is defined in classical dynamics. The classical definition of chaos relies upon the ideas of sensitive dependence ...
We discuss the problem of full counting statistics for periodic pumping. The probability generating function is usually defined on a circle of the "physical" values of the counting parameter, with its periodicity corresponding to charge quantization. The e ...
The first part of this thesis is devoted to classical magnetic systems. A method for an exhaustive search of states that do not break any spatial symmetry on a given lattice is presented. New Néel states on the kagome lattice are described. Their static st ...
In this thesis we describe a path integral formalism to evaluate approximations to the probability density function for the location and orientation of one end of a continuum polymer chain at thermodynamic equilibrium with a heat bath. We concentrate on th ...
We used classical molecular mechanics (MM) simulations and quantum mechanical (QM) structural relaxations to examine the active site of myosin when bound to ATP. Two conformations of myosin have been determined by x-ray crystallography. In one, there is no ...
