Manganites have been studied intensively due to their extraordinary properties: colossal magnetoresistance and ferroelectricity. The inhomogeneities present in certain regions of the phase diagram are believed to be ...
In this thesis I present simulation-based studies of systems of self-
propelled particles in heterogeneous media. I consider the interaction
of particles with planar walls, single spherical obstacles or arrays of
randomly ...
The formation of terrestrial planets is still poorly understood. Studying the interior of Mars by analysing seismic waves can help to answer questions about that process. In the absence of plate tectonics, Mars has retained ...
The solar activity has been observed to vary at various time scales, of which the 11-year solar cycle is the most prominent one. Since the Sun provides the main external energy to the Earth, knowledge of solar variability ...
The present cumulative thesis covers the development and applications of a novel type of ultrafast transmission electron microscope (UTEM) employing high-coherence electron pulses from a nanoscale photocathode.
Specifically, ...
