| Title | Non-perturbative Renormalization Group Approach to Some Out-of-Equilibrium Systems : Diffusive Epidemic Process and Fully Developed Turbulence |
| Author(s) | Tarpin, Malo |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2020. |
| Description | XV, 207 p. 21 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This thesis presents the application of non-perturbative, or functional, renormalization group to study the physics of critical stationary states in systems out-of-equilibrium. Two different systems are thereby studied. The first system is the diffusive epidemic process, a stochastic process which models the propagation of an epidemic within a population. This model exhibits a phase transition peculiar to out-of-equilibrium, between a stationary state where the epidemic is extinct and one where it survives. The present study helps to clarify subtle issues about the underlying symmetries of this process and the possible universality classes of its phase transition. The second system is fully developed homogeneous isotropic and incompressible turbulence. The stationary state of this driven-dissipative system shows an energy cascade whose phenomenology is complex, with partial scale-invariance, intertwined with what is called intermittency. In this work, analytical expressions for the space-time dependence of multi-point correlation functions of the turbulent state in 2- and 3-D are derived. This result is noteworthy in that it does not rely on phenomenological input except from the Navier-Stokes equation and that it becomes exact in the physically relevant limit of large wave-numbers. The obtained correlation functions show how scale invariance is broken in a subtle way, related to intermittency corrections |

| Title | Kinetics of Evaporation |
| Author(s) | Gerasimov, Denis N;Yurin, Eugeny I |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2018. |
| Description | XVII, 321 p. 87 illus., 1 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This monograph discusses the essential principles of the evaporation process by looking at it at the molecular and atomic level. In the first part methods of statistical physics, physical kinetics and numerical modeling are outlined including the Maxwell???s distribution function, the Boltzmann kinetic equation, the Vlasov approach, and the CUDA technique. The distribution functions of evaporating particles are then defined. Experimental results on the evaporation coefficient and the temperature jump on the evaporation surface are critically reviewed and compared to the theory and numerical results presented in previous chapters. The book ends with a chapter devoted to evaporation in different processes, such as boiling and cavitation. This monograph addresses graduate students and researchers working on phase transitions and related fields |

| Title | Classical Statistical Mechanics with Nested Sampling |
| Author(s) | Baldock, Robert John Nicholas |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2017. |
| Description | XII, 144 p. 30 illus., 25 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This thesis develops a nested sampling algorithm into a black box tool for directly calculating the partition function, and thus the complete phase diagram of a material, from the interatomic potential energy function. It represents a significant step forward in our ability to accurately describe the finite temperature properties of materials. In principle, the macroscopic phases of matter are related to the microscopic interactions of atoms by statistical mechanics and the partition function. In practice, direct calculation of the partition function has proved infeasible for realistic models of atomic interactions, even with modern atomistic simulation methods. The thesis also shows how the output of nested sampling calculations can be processed to calculate the complete PVT (pressure???volume???temperature) equation of state for a material, and applies the nested sampling algorithm to calculate the pressure???temperature phase diagrams of aluminium and a model binary alloy |

| Title | Boundary Physics and Bulk-Boundary Correspondence in Topological Phases of Matter |
| Author(s) | Alase, Abhijeet |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2019. |
| Description | XVII, 200 p. 23 illus., 19 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This thesis extends our understanding of systems of independent electrons by developing a generalization of Bloch???s Theorem which is applicable whenever translational symmetry is broken solely due to arbitrary boundary conditions. The thesis begins with a historical overview of topological condensed matter physics, placing the work in context, before introducing the generalized form of Bloch's Theorem. A cornerstone of electronic band structure and transport theory in crystalline matter, Bloch's Theorem is generalized via a reformulation of the diagonalization problem in terms of corner-modified block-Toeplitz matrices and, physically, by allowing the crystal momentum to take complex values. This formulation provides exact expressions for all the energy eigenvalues and eigenstates of the single-particle Hamiltonian. By precisely capturing the interplay between bulk and boundary properties, this affords an exact analysis of several prototypical models relevant to symmetry-protected topological phases of matter, including a characterization of zero-energy localized boundary excitations in both topological insulators and superconductors. Notably, in combination with suitable matrix factorization techniques, the generalized Bloch Hamiltonian is also shown to provide a natural starting point for a unified derivation of bulk-boundary correspondence for all symmetry classes in one dimension |

| Title | Polymer-Mediated Phase Stability of Colloids |
| Author(s) | Gonz??lez Garc??a, ??lvaro |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2019. |
| Description | XXII, 151 p. 67 illus., 2 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Colloid???polymer mixtures are subject of intensive research due to their wide range of applicability, for instance in coatings and food-stuffs. This thesis constitutes a fundamental investigation towards a better control over the stability of such suspensions. Through the chapters, different key parameters governing the stability of colloid???polymer mixtures are explored. How the colloid (pigment) shape and the effective polymer-colloid affinity modulate the stability of the suspension are examples of these key parameters. Despise the mostly theoretical results presented, the thesis is written in a format accessible to a broad scientific audience. Some of the equations of state presented might of direct use to experimentalists. Furthermore, new theoretical insights about colloid???polymer mixtures are put forward. These include four-phase coexistences in effective two-component, quantification of depletant partitioning at high colloidal concentrations, multiple re-entrant phase behaviour of the colloidal fluid???solid coexistence, and a condition where polymers are neither depleted nor adsorbed from/to the colloidal surface |

| Title | On the Nature of Charge Density Waves, Superconductivity and Their Interplay in 1T-TiSe??? |
| Author(s) | Chen, Chuan |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2019. |
| Description | XVI, 105 p. 35 illus., 31 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This thesis presents analytical theoretical studies on the interplay between charge density waves (CDW) and superconductivity (SC) in the actively studied transition-metal dichalcogenide 1T-TiSe2. It begins by reapproaching a years-long debate over the nature of the phase transition to the commensurate CDW (CCDW) state and the role played by the intrinsic tendency towards excitonic condensation in this system. A Ginzburg-Landau phenomenological theory was subsequently developed to understand the experimentally observed transition from commensurate to incommensurate CDW (ICDW) order with doping or pressure, and the emergence of a superconducting dome that coexists with ICDW. Finally, to characterize microscopically the effects of the interplay between CDW and SC, the spectrum of CDW fluctuations beyond mean-field was studied in detail. In the aggregate, the work reported here provides an encompassing understanding of what are possibly key microscopic underpinnings of the CDW and SC physics in TiSe2. |

| Title | Magnetic Field Effects in Low-Dimensional Quantum Magnets |
| Author(s) | Iaizzi, Adam |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2018. |
| Description | XIX, 156 p. 34 illus., 31 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This thesis is a tour-de-force combination of analytic and computational results clarifying and resolving important questions about the nature of quantum phase transitions in one- and two-dimensional magnetic systems. The author presents a comprehensive study of a low-dimensional spin-half quantum antiferromagnet (the J-Q model) in the presence of a magnetic field in both one and two dimensions, demonstrating the causes of metamagnetism in such systems and providing direct evidence of fractionalized excitations near the deconfined quantum critical point. In addition to describing significant new research results, this thesis also provides the non-expert with a clear understanding of the nature and importance of computational physics and its role in condensed matter physics as well as the nature of phase transitions, both classical and quantum. It also contains an elegant and detailed but accessible summary of the methods used in the thesis???exact diagonalization, Monte Carlo, quantum Monte Carlo and the stochastic series expansion???that will serve as a valuable pedagogical introduction to students beginning in this field |

| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2020. |
| Description | XIX, 218 p. 105 illus., 75 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Effects of many-body interactions and superconducting correlations have become central questions in the quantum transport community. While most previous works investigating current fluctuations in nanodevices have been restricted to the stationary regime, Seoane's thesis extends these studies to the time domain. It provides relevant information about the time onset of electronic correlations mediated by interactions and superconductivity. This knowledge is essential for the development of fast electronic devices, as well as novel applications requiring fast manipulations, such as quantum information processing. In addition, the thesis establishes contact with issues of broad current interest such as non-equilibrium quantum phase transitions |

| Title | Ab initio Theory of Magnetic Ordering : Electronic Origin of Pair- and Multi-Spin Interactions |
| Author(s) | Mendive Tapia, Eduardo |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2020. |
| Description | XVIII, 131 p. 35 illus., 34 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Many technological applications exploit a variety of magnetic structures, or magnetic phases, to produce and optimise solid-state functionality. However, most research advances are restricted to a reduced number of phases owing to computational and resource constraints. This thesis presents an ab-initio theory to efficiently describe complex magnetic phases and their temperature-dependent properties. The central assumption is that magnetic phases evolve slowly compared with the underlying electronic structure from which they emerge. By describing how the electronic structure adapts to the type and extent of magnetic order, a theory able to describe multi-spin correlations and their effect on the magnetism at finite temperature is obtained. It is shown that multi-spin correlations are behind the temperature and magnetic field dependence of the diverse magnetism in the heavy rare earth elements. Magnetically frustrated Mn-based materials and the effect of strain are also investigated. These studies demonstrate that the performance of solid-state refrigeration can be enhanced by multi-spin effects |
