Heating plasmas to a relevant fusion temperature is one of the key aspects of magnetically confined fusion plasmas. Radio frequency (RF) heating with electromagnetic waves in the ion cyclotron range of ...
Cu-based alloys are widely applied in corrosive environments. The improvement of the alloys' corrosion resistance will significantly reduce energy consumption and overexploitation of resources. To ...
The combined use of thermal-hydraulics system with sub-channel codes (TH-TH coupling) in transient analysis provides an integrated tool with the capability of modelling in detail both the core ...
(English) The mechanical properties of structural materials, which are naturally polycrystalline, is defined by a number of physical processes that take place at different time and space scales. On ...
Disordered systems are abundant in everyday life and so their study is of importance from a scientific and a technological point of view. The most common non-crystalline solid phases are structural ...
In this thesis, a detailed analysis of the experientially observed energetic particle-driven Alfvénic instabilities in tokamak and stellarator plasmas using three dimensional numerical tools based on ...
The properties of mixtures of Bose-Einstein condensates at T=0 have been investigated using quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) methods and Density Functional Theory (DFT) with the aim of understanding physics ...
The main goal of this thesis is the computation of ground state properties of quantum many-body systems under Spin Orbit coupling (SOC) interactions out of the ultradilute regime. We present two approaches ...
Ferroelectric materials are endowed with fascinating functional properties from the technological point of view. Consequently, they have promoted the design of ferroelectric-based devices with applications ...
Magnetic fusion is a long term, worldwide research activity. Plans are increasingly ambitious, cooperation is progressing, and goals seem to be closer every year. ITER reactor is being built, and several ...
