1. Numerical Estimation of Critical Exponents in the 3D XY Model
University essay from KTH/FysikAbstract : The experimentally obtained value of the critical exponent ν is presently in significant disagreement with current theoretical predictions for the λ-universality class. We suggest two novel approaches of determining the exponents ν and η by utilizing the effects of finite size scaling. READ MORE

2. Time-resolved x-ray diffraction study of longitudinal optical phonons in zincblende semiconductors
University essay from Lunds universitet/Atomfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionenAbstract : Anharmonic decay of longitudinal optical (LO) phonons in zincblende semiconductors is not at present well characterized due to the polar and many-body nature of the problem. Femtosecond THz radiation offers a novel route to this study, as the interaction of this radiation is directly with the phonon lattice and these THz excited phonons do not have enough energy to excite electrons over the band gap.

3. Information Flow and Local Observables in Many Body Localized Systems
University essay from KTH/FysikAbstract : Disordered quantum many-body systems exhibiting the many-body localization (MBL) phenomenon evade the fate of thermalization due to the existence of an extensively large set of quasi-local integrals of motion (l-bits). Due to the size of the Hilbert space of many-body systems, it is hard to compute the time evolution of many-body systems generally, which hinders our understanding of the MBL phenomenon. READ MORE

4. Effects of power-law correlated disorder on a 3D XY model
University essay from KTH/FysikAbstract : This thesis investigates the effects of power-law correlated disorder on a three-dimensional XY model and the Weinrib-Halperin disorder relevance criterion’s pre-dictive ability. Ising models are used as a map to realise disorder couplings. READ MORE

5. Higher Forms and Dimensional Hierarchy in Topological Condensed Matter
University essay from KTH/FysikAbstract : This report discusses higher differential forms with applications in the study of topological phenomena. The integer quantum Hall effect is first discussed, demonstrating a connection between models on a lattice and quantum field theories bridged by a topological invariant, namely the Chern number.
