The study of stellar winds (SW) in the context of X-ray bursts (XRB) performed in this thesis has two main motivating issues. The first is whether or not the heavy elements produced from nucleosynthesis ...
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 ...
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 ...
Castrillón Camacho, Arjuna (Date of defense: 2021-05-12)
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 ...
Ortiz de Urbina Viade, Jordi (Date of defense: 2021-09-30)
The aim of this thesis is to study, by means of molecular dynamics simulations, the behaviour of two molecular models at different temperatures, approaching the glass transition. One of them mimics ...
