The Pristine survey - XX. GTC follow-up observations of extremely metal-poor stars identified from Pristine and LAMOST

Pascale Jablonka

A B S T R A C T Ultra-metal-poor stars ( [Fe / H] < -4 . 0) are very rare, and finding them is a challenging task. Both narrow-band photometry and low-resolution spectroscopy have been useful tools for identifying candidates, and in this work, we combine b ...

An In Situ FTIR Study of DBD Plasma Parameters for Accelerated Germination of Arabidopsis thaliana Seeds

Ivo Furno, Alan Howling, Alexandra Waskow, Lorenzo Ibba

Current agricultural practices are not sustainable; however, the non-thermal plasma treatment of seeds may be an eco-friendly alternative to alter macroscopic plant growth parameters. Despite numerous successful results of plasma-seed treatments reported i ...

Searching for multiple populations in the integrated light of the young and extremely massive clusters in the merger remnant NGC 7252

Carmela Lardo

Recent work has shown that the properties of multiple populations (MPs) within massive stellar clusters (i.e. in the extent of their abundance variations as well as the fraction of stars that show the anomalous chemistry) depend on the mass as well as the ...

Quantification of Synthetic Polyesters from Biodegradable Mulch Films in Soils

Stephanie Christa Remke

Soil biodegradable mulch films composed of the polyester polybutylene adipate-co-terephthalate (PBAT) are being increasingly used in agriculture. Analytical methods to quantify PBAT in field soils are needed to assess its soil occurrence and fate. Here, we ...

Koopmans Meets Bethe-Salpeter: Excitonic Optical Spectra without GW

Nicola Marzari, Nicola Colonna, Paolo Umari

The Bethe Salpeter equation (BSE) can be applied to compute from first-principles optical spectra that include the effects of screened electron hole interactions. As input, BSE calculations require single-particle states, quasiparticle energy levels, and t ...

Eigenmode Analysis in Plasmonics: Application to Second Harmonic Generation and Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy

Gabriel David Bernasconi

Eigenmodes are central to the study of resonant phenomena in all areas of physics. However, their use in nano-optics seems to have been hindered and delayed for various reasons. First, due to their small size, the response of nanostructures to a far-field ...

Spin Diffusion in Dynamic Nuclear Polarization Nuclear Magnetic Resonance

Arthur César Pinon

Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (DNP) is currently one of the most efficient ways of enhancing sensitivity in solid-state Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) experiments. The DNP protocol consists in doping a sample with a small amount of paramagnetic species, t ...

Counting the cycles of light using a self-referenced optical microresonator

Tobias Kippenberg, Martin Hubert Peter Pfeiffer, Victor Brasch, Tobias Herr, John David Jost, Caroline Marie Anne Lecaplain

Phase coherently linking optical-to-radio frequencies with femtosecond mode-locked laser frequency combs has enabled counting the cycles of light and is the basis of optical clocks, absolute frequency synthesis, tests of fundamental physics, and improved s ...

Spin processes and charge dynamics in organic light emitting diodes

Francesco Comandè

In this thesis work we explore spin dependent processes and charge dynamics in α-NPD/Alq₃ based LEDs. Studies on polymer light emitting diodes based on PFO, which are fabricated by us, are also reported. Our objective is to shed light on the fundamental me ...

Dynamic control of light transmission through multimode fibers

Ioannis Papadopoulos

In the present thesis we demonstrate how under the appropriate dynamic control of light propagation, multimode fibers can be transformed into deterministic optical elements that along with their ultrathin size, large number of degrees of freedom and high N ...

Local spectroscopy of the Kondo lattice YbAl3: Seeing beyond the surface with scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy

Klaus Kern

We report on an atomic-scale study of the Kondo lattice compound YbAl3 using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy (STS). An analysis of the surface orientation and structure is performed based on STM images containing more than one crystal ...

Long lived states in high field NMR spectroscopy for the study of very slow dynamic processes in solution state

Riddhiman Sarkar

In solution-state NMR spectroscopy, dynamic processes can be probed provided the nuclear relaxation rate constant does not exceed the rate constant of the process. Phenomena occurring on a time scale longer than the spin-lattice relaxation time constant, T ...
