The main objective of the thesis is to study static and/or dynamic properties of a set of quantum fluids by means of quantum Monte Carlo techniques, mainly using the path integral formalism to obtain ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Two-dimensional materials have a lot of applications in the electronic and photonic device design field, especially when they need to be flexible and transparent. In particular, high frequency 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 ...
Metallic glasses are amorphous solids produced by rapid cooling, with disordered atomic structure and lacking long-range order. This structural disorder makes them to show mechanical properties different ...
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 ...
