Quantum Electrodynamical time-dependent density functional theory
(2017-09-21)
The last two decades have witnessed increasing experimental interest in the study and control of many-electron systems strongly interacting with quantum electromagnetic fields. This includes notable experiments in the areas ...
Fabrication and characterization of magnetic thin films and multilayers
(2017-01-26)
Los objetivos principales de esta tesis han sido por un lado la fabricación de películas y multicapas magnéticas de alta calidad y con alta reproducibilidad a la nanoescala y, por otro lado, la comprensión y modelización ...
Modelling of polymer-carbon nanotube heterojunctions for photovoltaic applications
(2017-01-31)
Semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (s-SWNT) are promising materialsfor efficient organic photovoltaics (OPVs). Unfortunately, the implementation of s-SWNTs has so far not lead to the expected increase in power ...
Dynamics of diatomic molecules on metal surfaces: O2/Ag(110) and CO/Ru(0001)
(2017-01-25)
This thesis concerns with theoretical modelling from first principles of dynamics of two gas-surface systems (oxygen on silver and carbon monoxide on ruthenium) that are relevant to the heterogeneous catalysis. An accurate ...
Mechanochemical evolution of the giant muscle protein tititn as inferred from resurrecter proteins
(2017-07-07)
The sarcomere-based structure of muscles is conserved among vertebrates; however, vertebrate muscle physiology is extremely diverse. A molecular explanation for this muscle diversity and its evolution has not been proposed. ...
Fabrication and near-field characterization of mid-infrared transmission lines
(2017-07-11)
During this thesis, we fabricated infrared (IR) antennas and transmission lines (TLs), and characterizedthem by transmission-mode scattering-type scanning near-field optical microscopy (transmission-mode s-SNOM). By means ...
Nanomechanics of pathogenic attachment: uropathogenic escherichia coli and human immunodeficiency virus.
(2017-12-15)
En esta tesis doctoral el objetivo ha sido estudiar la nanomecánica de proteínas de superficie celular involucradas en la adhesión de patógenos a células humanas. Concretamente se han estudiado lasproteínas que utiliza ...
Advances in Single-Chain Nanoparticles for Catalysis Applications
(MDPI, 2017-10-21)
Enzymes are the most efficient catalysts known for working in an aqueous environment near room temperature. The folding of individual polymer chains to functional single-chain nanoparticles (SCNPs) offers many opportunities ...
Electronic and spintronic devices using two-dimensional materials
(2017-05-30)
Ever since in 2004 atomically-thin two-dimensional van der Waals materials became available to the scientific community, at the reach of manual microexfoliation techniques, their implementation in novel device structures ...
Morphology and dynamics of ice crystals and the effect of proteins
(2017-07-17)
La tesis "Morfología y dinámica de los cristales de hielo y su efecto en las proteínas" se basa en una amplia gama de temas que abarcan el fundamento de la estructura del hielo (tanto su superficie como su morfología), la ...
