In recent years, mechanical resonators based on graphene have attracted considerable interest as nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS). Graphene NEMSs allow for exceptional properties such as high ...
Gebbia, Jonathan Fernando (Date of defense: 2021-10-06)
One of the most complex and unsolved problems in physics is the glass transition problem, in which the resulting state, the glass, exhibits unique and anomalous properties. During the transition, a ...

The study of light-matter interaction at the nanoscale is a very promising field of research, providing the possibility to manipulate the interaction with single quantum systems like single atoms, ...
Calvo Minguillón, Ausias March (Date of defense: 2021-07-09)
The underlying topic of this thesis is the study of the application of the Force Matching (FM) algorithm to parameterize ion-water Force Fields using ab-initio simulations as reference. In order to do ...

Planetary nebulae play a very important role in the chemical evolution of galaxies since they are responsible for returning nuclear-processed material to the interstellar medium. Observations of planetary ...
Julià Farré, Sergi (Date of defense: 2022-06-28)
The last decades have witnessed impressive technical advances in all the fields of quantum science, including solid-state systems or atomic, molecular, and optical physics, allowing one to control ...
Henao Aristizábal, Andrés (Date of defense: 2016-09-23)
Many materials of scientific interest show a disordered phase, with their molecules presenting positional disorder, orientational disorder or both. Processes of interest to life also occur in these kind ...
Suárez Rojas, Noslen (Date of defense: 2018-01-23)
In this thesis, we develop a general theory to describe the dynamics of electrons that are ionized when an atom or molecule is exposed to a strong low frequency laser field. Our approach extends and ...
Hernández Santana, Senaida (Date of defense: 2019-04-12)
Quantum Mechanics was established as the theory of the microscopic world, which allowed to understand processes in atoms and molecules. Its emergence led to a new scientific paradigm that quickly spread ...
