This thesis presents the results of a study on the interfaces of insulating oxides with and without the insertion of a magnetic layer.

Majorana fermions in superconductors are the subgap quasiparticle excitations that are their own antiparticles.

Pharmaceutical companies, governments and the general public have become increasingly aware that animal models used in drug testing lack vital aspects to serve as an accurate representation of human biology. As models of the human body should become more physiologically relevant, animal models no longer…

The PID-directed shift in PIN polarity has been broadly accepted as one of the essential mechanisms for the regulation of auxin transport polarity.

In this thesis, classes of strongly interacting quantum field theories, have been studied.

Luchtvaart is een mondiale kwesitie. Toch zijn er maar weinig landen die de veiligheid van passagiers echt kunnen garanderen.

I will give a general introduction to the field of molecular electronics, its history, methods and challenges. I will also introduce the subject of my investigation and provide a brief outlook to the remainder of our thesis.

Multicellular giant algae Chara species have been widely used in physiological studies for decades.

In unconventional high temperature superconductors, supercurrent vortices are known to spoil the Landau levels. In this thesis the emergence of Landau levels is studied in different types of superconductors: Weyl superconductors, and the Fu-Kane heterostructure.

Electrons in a crystal lattice have properties that may differ from those of a free electron in vacuum.

The plant hormone auxin plays a central role in the growth and development of plants. Auxin acts in a concentration dependent manner and polar cell-to-cell transport of this hormone determines its distribution in the tissues of plants. This polar auxin transport is mediated by several families of auxin…

In this thesis we study quantum transport phenomena on the nanometer scale, in two classes of materials: topological insulators with induced superconductivity and graphene superlattices.

Atoms and molecules are the basic units of matter. If we keep dividing a bar of gold or a glass of water into smaller parts, at the end we are left with a single gold atom or a water molecule.

Possible improvements for the assessment of abiotic depletion in LCA.

This thesis covers various applications of topology in condensed matter physics and quantum information.

The Institute of Environmental Sciences has carried out and participates in several projects that deal with the analysis of energy systems.

Scattering of light in the presence of nano-structured materials, i.e. with features in the order of the wavelength of the light or smaller, reveals details of how light interacts with matter at the nanoscale.

Advanced sensing techniques require graphene with high quality and well-controlled surface chemistry.

Plants, are sessile organisms, have developed strategies to adapt to changes in their environment, in part by altering their growth and development.

Op 16 december 2021 verdedigde Lisanne van Houten het proefschrift 'Flexing the Slot Regime'. Het promotieonderzoek is begeleid door prof.dr. P. Mendes de Leon en prof. L. Pierallini (Luiss University Of Rome).

Bicarbonate buffer is largely found in nature due to its ability to regulate pH variations around neutral values. As the pH changes, so does the speciation of the buffer.

Single-molecule spectroscopy has become a powerful method for using organic fluorescent molecules in numerous applications.

De Mykeense beschaving uit de Griekse Oudheid biedt een enorm potentieel aan bruikbare informatie: van innovatieve bouwmethoden tot manieren om als maatschappij om te gaan met crisissituaties. Archeologe Ann Brysbaert en haar team ontleden in het project SETinSTONE-project de Mykeense bouwprocessen…
