Theory of Chirality Induced Spin Selectivity
Progress and Challenges
A critical overview of the theory of the chirality-induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect, that is, phenomena in which the chirality of molecular species imparts significant spin selectivity to various electron processes, is provided. Based on discussions in a recently held works

CISS effect
Magnetocurrent-voltage characteristics with Coulomb interactions. II
One of the manifestations of chirality-induced spin selectivity is the appearance of a magnetocurrent. Magnetocurrent is defined as the difference between the charge currents at finite bias in a two terminal device for opposite magnetizations of one of the leads. In experiments o

Chirality-Induced Spin Selectivity (CISS) Effect
Magnetocurrent-Voltage Characteristics with Coulomb Interactions I
One of the manifestations of chirality-induced spin selectivity (CISS) is the appearance of a magnetocurrent. Magnetocurrent is the observation that the charge currents at finite bias in a two terminal device for opposite magnetizations of one of the leads differ. Magnetocurrents

A Magnetoresistance through Inelastic Scattering
One of the manifestations of chirality-induced spin selectivity is the magnetoresistance (MR) in two-terminal transport measurements on molecular junctions. This paper investigates the effect of spin-orbit coupling in the leads on the polarization of the transmission. A helicene

Single-qubit dynamics
Determining the density matrix of a qubit in closed and open quantum systems when considering free evolution and weak measurements
Quantum technology is evolving faster than ever. Currently, all eyes are on the quantum computer, the promising computer that can solve problems which are unsolvable for regular computers. In order to understand this new technology, it is necessary to understand the qubit, the ba

Aerosol dynamics in human lungs
Modelling deposition fractions under different respiratory conditions
Knowledge of particle deposition is important in clinical settings or when discussing environmental effects of aerosols on humans.
Particle deposition in the human respiratory tract is determined by breathing patterns and lung morphology, as well as particle properties and deposi

Simulating Level-set Percolation on the Discrete Gaussian Free Field with Arbitrary Conductances
Using a Conjugate Gradient Sampler
Level-set percolation on the Discrete Gaussian Free Field (DGFF) turned out to be
a hot topic within mathematical physics over the last couple of years. In particular, the DGFF on Z^d , with homogeneously weighted nearest-neighbour interactions, i.e. all conductances equal to 1,

Idealised tidal dynamics in an estuary with a horizontally movable time dependent barrier
A contribution to one of the possible solutions of the sludge problem in the Eems estuary
In this thesis the hydrodynamic behaviour of an idealised relatively short tidal estuary is studied using a cross-sectionally averaged model, i.e. a one dimensional model. The geometry of the estuary is simplified and only the hydrodynamic processes are considered. This model is

Economic Engineering & Statistical Physics
Linking Microeconomics and Macroeconomics using Statistical Physics
Economic engineering models individual agents as inertia elements and can be viewed as a microeconomic theory based on analogs with classical mechanics. In this thesis the economic engineering concept of modeling individual agents is used to model economic systems consisting of m

Bose-Einstein condensate of annihilating paritcles
Modelled as a Zero Range process
In this thesis the behaviour of a Bose Einstein condensate is explored that consists of bosons that annihilate. In order to do this a system where bose einstein condensation occurs is modeled as a Zero Range process which is a special case of a Markov process.
First we made a sin

The breakdown of the law of reflection in bilayer graphene
As long as a wave has a large enough wavelength, it should reflect off of smooth surfaces specularly: that is what the law of reflection states. This phenomenon is widely known, and used in for instance sonars. Electrons that reflect off of boundaries within conductors should abi

An exploration of the Kuramoto model
Mathematical background, links with physics and numerical analysis
This work is a bachelor thesis featuring a collection of explorations of the Kuramoto model in the presence of noise in one and two dimensions. The model was explored analytically and numerically. It contains a study of literature and new analytical derivations. An attempt to lin

The effect of the Breit interaction on chiral induced spin selectivity
A derivation of the Breit equation and the implementation in a simulation of electron transport
Chiral induced spin selectivity (CISS) is an unexplained phenomenon in physics, in which the interaction within chiral molecules brings about a selectivity in the spin of the electrons.
The Breit interaction has been suggested as a possible explanation, but has not yet been resea

Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Non-Photochemical Laser-Induced Nucleation
Electrolyte Clustering by Nanoparticle Heating
Non-photochemical laser-induced nucleation (NPLIN) is a process where a crystalline phase is formed out of solution by exposure to a laser beam. In NPLIN, the nucleation probability is strongly dependent on the beam intensity and weakly dependent on the wavelength. NPLIN offers a

With an application to self-organisation in swarming systems
We consider adaptive network models with discrete and continuous state sets obeying dynamical rules that enable application to swarming systems. The 2-state adaptive network contains a supercritical pitchfork bifurcation in the transition between ordered and disordered stationary
