Continuous symmetry breaking in a two-dimensional Rydberg array

Andreas Martin Läuchli Herzig

Spontaneous symmetry breaking underlies much of our classification of phases of matter and their associated transitions(1-3). The nature of the underlying symmetry being broken determines many of the qualitative properties of the phase; this is illustrated ...

Bridging Native and Intrinsic Structures of Microhydrated Biomolecules by Cold Ion Spectroscopy

Andrei Zviagin

Solving native structures of such large molecules, like biomolecules, is often challenging, particularly due to the potentially infinite number of non-covalent interactions with water. In this thesis, we report the use of cold ion gas-phase action spectros ...
