    Experimental and numerical study of the symbolic dynamics of modulated semiconductor lasers with optical feedback 

    Torrentino, Taciano (Date of defense: 2015-07-10)

    The goal of this thesis is to investigate the influence of current modulation in the dynamics of the low-frequency fluctuations (LFF) regime induced by optical feedback in semiconductor lasers. In this regime the laser ...

    Ab initio molecular dynamics study of thiolate-protected gold clusters and their interaction with biomolecules 

    Rojas-Cervellera, Víctor (Date of defense: 2015-07-17)

    Thiolate monolayer-protected gold clusters (AuMPCs) are being used in various biological and biomedical applications due to their unique physical and chemical properties. The fact that gold-sulphur bonds are very stable ...

    Relaxation dynamics in disordered systems 

    Romanini, Michela (Date of defense: 2015-07-22)

    The nature of the glass transition and of the glassy state is a fundamental and still unsolved problem of condensed matter physics. Many liquids can be supercooled below their melting point without crystallizing, that is, ...

    Improvement of corrosion and mechanical properties of amorphous steels by microalloying and nanocrystallization 

    Madinehei, Milad (Date of defense: 2015-09-14)

    Los aceros amorfos que contienen cantidades óptimas de cromo son muy atractivos para aplicaciones prácticas debido a su comportamiento frente a la corrosion. Estas aleaciones tienen extraordinarias propiedades de resistencia ...

    Dynamics of metallic glasses explored by mechanical relaxation 

    Liu, Chaoren (Date of defense: 2015-10-07)

    Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) is often used to explore the relaxation dynamics of metallic glasses (MGs). Secondary relaxations in metallic glasses appear as an excess wing, as a shoulder of the primary relaxation peak ...

    Convección natural en cavidades tridimensionales 

    Sánchez Casals, Odalys (Date of defense: 2015-11-10)

    The modelling of convective transport processes involving heat and mass transfer in an incompressible Newtonian fluid in cylindrical domains is a relevant research subject both for theoretical research and for industry. ...
