This doctoral thesis presents the design, simulation, and calibration of two instruments developed to study energetic charged particles in low-Earth orbit. The near-Earth energetic charged particle populations include ...

Quantum theory is a particularly important instance of an operational theory.By looking at quantum theory from the perspective of more abstract operational framework one is able to study its properties in a wider context. ...

Solar energetic particles (SEPs) are an important component of space weather. They pose a serious radiation hazard to electronic equipment and biological organisms in space. They are produced in explosive events such as ...

High temperature YBa2Cu3Oz_6+xsuperconducting films are deposited on top of differently fashioned buffered metals to enhance the critical current density and its isotropy for coated conductor applications. The ...

The Sun is the source of several different kinds of high-energy particles that are most prominently released in sudden large eruptions, known as solar energetic particle events. These particles, which escape the Sun and ...

Radiation therapy (RT) utilizes the harmfulness of ionizing radiation for good, with the goal of destroying cancer cells without damaging too much healthy tissue. Dosimetry is always needed to achieve this goal. Dosimetry ...

This dissertation investigates the phenomenon of resistive switching (RS) in lowbandwidth mixed-valence perovskite manganite oxides. In particular, the compounds Pr0.6Ca0.4MnO3 and Gd1−xCaxMnO3 with x between 0 and 1 are ...

Computational materials physics is a field where we try to understand the phenomena related to materials all around us. However we can only model a small sections portion of these materials in our computations, quantum ...

This dissertation studies the implications of vortex dynamics in high-temperature superconducting thin films. The combined use of both experimental and computational methods enabled one to draw otherwise unobtainable ...
