Colloidal Self-Assembly: Particle Synthesis, Functionalisation and Applications
(2019-04-27)Colloids, broadly defined as particles small enough to not sediment under gravitational force while dispersed in a continuous medium, are of great scientific and industrial importance. They are present in foods, cosmetics, ... -
Photon-mediated entanglement of electron spins in a dynamic solid-state environment
(2017-07-21)Self-assembled quantum dots can act as an interface between single spins and photons. They combine the flexibility and scalability of semiconductor systems with near-perfect two level systems, emitting highly coherent ... -
Functional nanoelectronic devices: single-electron transport, memristivity, and thermoelectricity in nanoscale flms using self-assembly and graphene
(2019-04-27)This dissertation reports on several experimental projects studying electronic transport in thin-flm electronic devices. Self-assembly methods and graphene were used to realise devices contacting films of self-assembled ... -
Decompositions of Free Energies in Molecular Simulation
This thesis describes advances in methods to measure free energy changes in simulations of molecular systems. In each case the free energy is decomposed into local environments which reveal insights about the complex systems ...
