| 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 |

| Title | Quench Dynamics in Interacting and Superconducting Nanojunctions |
| Author(s) | Souto, Rub??n Seoane |
| 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 |

| Title | Geometric Control of Fracture and Topological Metamaterials |
| Author(s) | Mitchell, Noah |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2020. |
| Description | XIX, 121 p. 49 illus., 48 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This thesis reports a rare combination of experiment and theory on the role of geometry in materials science. It is built on two significant findings: that curvature can be used to guide crack paths in a predictive way, and that protected topological order can exist in amorphous materials. In each, the underlying geometry controls the elastic behavior of quasi-2D materials, enabling the control of crack propagation in elastic sheets and the control of unidirectional waves traveling at the boundary of metamaterials. The thesis examines the consequences of this geometric control in a range of materials spanning many orders of magnitude in length scale, from amorphous macroscopic networks and elastic continua to nanoscale lattices |

| Title | Jamming and Glass Transitions : In Mean-Field Theories and Beyond |
| Author(s) | Altieri, Ada |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2019. |
| Description | XXI, 220 p. 39 illus., 28 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The work described in this book originates from a major effort to develop a fundamental theory of the glass and the jamming transitions. The first chapters guide the reader through the phenomenology of supercooled liquids and structural glasses and provide the tools to analyze the most frequently used models able to predict the complex behavior of such systems. A fundamental outcome is a detailed theoretical derivation of an effective thermodynamic potential, along with the study of anomalous vibrational properties of sphere systems. The interested reader can find in these pages a clear and deep analysis of mean-field models as well as the description of advanced beyond-mean-field perturbative expansions. To investigate important second-order phase transitions in lattice models, the last part of the book proposes an innovative theoretical approach, based on a multi-layer construction. The different methods developed in this thesis shed new light on important connections among constraint satisfaction problems, jamming and critical phenomena in complex systems, and lay part of the groundwork for a complete theory of amorphous solids |

| Title | Equilibrium and Nonequilibrium Aspects of Phase Transitions in Quantum Physics |
| Author(s) | Puebla, Ricardo |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2018. |
| Description | XIX, 203 p. 44 illus., 12 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | In this book, the equilibrium and nonequilibrium properties of continuous phase transitions are studied in various systems, with a special emphasis on understanding how well-established universal traits at equilibrium may be extended into the dynamic realm, going beyond the paradigmatic Kibble???Zurek mechanism of defect formation. This book reports on the existence of a quantum phase transition in a system comprising just a single spin and a bosonic mode (the quantum Rabi model). Though critical phenomena are inherent to many-body physics, the author demonstrates that this small and ostensibly simple system allows us to explore the rich phenomenology of phase transitions, both in- and out-of-equilibrium. Moreover, the universal traits of this quantum phase transition may be realized in a single trapped-ion experiment, thus avoiding the need to scale up the number of constituents. In this system, the phase transition takes place in a suitable limit of system parameters rather than in the conventional thermodynamic limit ??? a novel notion that the author and his collaborators have dubbed the finite-component system phase transition. As such, the results gathered in this book will open promising new avenues in our understanding and exploration of quantum critical phenomena |

| Title | Statistical Theory of Heat |
| Author(s) | Scheck, Florian |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2016. |
| Description | IX, 233 p. 46 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Scheck???s textbook starts with a concise introduction to classical thermodynamics, including geometrical aspects. Then a short introduction to probabilities and statistics lays the basis for the statistical interpretation of thermodynamics. Phase transitions, discrete models and the stability of matter are explained in great detail. Thermodynamics has a special role in theoretical physics. Due to the general approach of thermodynamics the field has a bridging function between several areas like the theory of condensed matter, elementary particle physics, astrophysics and cosmology. The classical thermodynamics describes predominantly averaged properties of matter, reaching from few particle systems and state of matter to stellar objects. Statistical Thermodynamics covers the same fields, but explores them in greater depth and unifies classical statistical mechanics with quantum theory of multiple particle systems. The content is presented as two tracks: the fast track for master students, providing the essentials, and the intensive track for all wanting to get in depth knowledge of the field. Clearly labelled material and sections guide students through the preferred level of treatment. Numerous problems and worked examples will provide successful access to Statistical Physics and Thermodynamics |
