Mestres Junqué, Pau (Date of defense: 2017-09-07)
Optical trapping and manipulation have emerged as powerful tools to investigate single microscopic objects in a controlled environment. Using the momentum carried by light, forces can be exerted to confine and manipulate ...
Braungardt, Sibylle (Date of defense: 2011-07-12)
Gómez García, Pablo (Date of defense: 2020-04-24)
Recent advancements in single-molecule localization-based microscopy have made it possible to visualize biological structures and dynamic processes within the cell with unprecedented spatial resolution. Determining the ...
Gieseler, Jan (Date of defense: 2014-02-03)
Nanotechnology was named one of the key enabling technologies by the European Commission and its tremendous impact was envisioned early by 20th century physicist R.Feynman in his now oft-quoted talk "Plenty of Room at the ...
Huwer, Jan Henning (Date of defense: 2014-01-29)
One promising approach for future quantum networks is the combination of strings of trapped ions as quantum-information processors with entangled photon pairs produced by spontaneous parametric down conversion (SPDC) to ...
Schwender, Jill (Date of defense: 2018-11-12)
In recent years, carbon nanotube and graphene mechanical resonators have attracted considerable attention because of their unique properties. Their high resonance frequencies, high quality factors and their ultra-low mass ...
Urgell Flores, Carlos (Date of defense: 2021-03-30)
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have attracted the attention of the scientific community since their discovery in the 90s. They are an excellent material for the development of research fields as diverse as nanomechanics or quantum ...
Martínez Sánchez, Ignacio A. (Date of defense: 2014-04-25)
Almost two centuries after the first observations of Robert Brown, the study of systems ruled by noise has become a significant part of modern physics and other so diverse situations, such as the stock market, personal ...
Morell Bennasser, Nicolás (Date of defense: 2018-12-17)
Suspended monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) aremembranes that combine ultralow mass and exceptional optical prop-erties, making them intriguing materials for opto-mechanical applica-tions. However, the low ...
