  1. 6. Starbursts at Cosmic Dawn : Formation of Globular Clusters, Ultra-Faint Dwarfs, and Population III star clusters at z > 6

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för astronomi

    Author : Olof Nebrin; [2022]
    Keywords : Cosmology; Galaxy Formation; Globular Clusters; First Stars; Dark Matter; Cosmic Dawn; Reionization; Ultra-Faint Dwarfs;

    Abstract : In the standard model of cosmology (ΛCDM) the first stars, star clusters, and galaxies are expected to have formed in short bursts of star formation in low-mass dark matter halos at high redshifts (). Up to this point, attempts to predict the properties and abundances of these luminous objects have made use of numerically expensive cosmological simulations. READ MORE

  2. 7. First Principles Studies Of 2D Magnets

    University essay from

    Author : Yahya Fayazi; Linus Jacobsson; Folke Gustafsson; [2022]
    Keywords : 2D material; ab initio; magnet; Quantum Espresso; Density Functional Theory; DFT; CrCl3; CrBr3; CrI3; 2D material; 2 dimensionella material; två dimensionella material;

    Abstract : The aim of this project is to examine the electric and magneticproperties of three monolayer chromium trihalides when doped withdifferent transitions metals, that is CrXY_6, where X=(Mn,Fe,Co,Ni,V)and Y=(Cl,Br,I). The calculations were made using the software programQuantum Espresso that used density functional theory to solveSchrödinger’s equation. READ MORE

  3. 8. Modelling Magnetism of hcp Iron under Earth’s Inner Core Conditions : Based on first-principle DFT calculations and Machine Learning

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Teoretisk Fysik

    Author : Linda Le; [2022]
    Keywords : Machine learning; Earth’s Inner Core; hcp Iron; Electronic structure magnetism; Density functional Theory; Local magnetic moments; Ab initio molecular dynamics; ASD-AIMD-MLLSF simulation;

    Abstract : The structure of Earth’s core remains largely a mystery. The solid inner core is believed to exist in extreme pressure and temperature conditions comparable to 300 GPa and 6000 K and consists mainly of iron, Fe. READ MORE

  4. 9. First principles DFT study of polyethylene insulation containing chemical impurities - implementing counterpoise correction

    University essay from KTH/Tillämpad fysik

    Author : Max Pierre; [2022]
    Keywords : Applied physics; HVDC cable; Polymer physics; Polyethylene; Density functional theory; Molecular dynamics; CP2K; GROMAC; Electron traps; Band gaps; Density of states; Tillämpad fysik; HVDC kabel; Polymerfysik; Polyeten; Täthetsfunktionalteori; Molekulärdynamik; CP2K; GROMACS; Elektronfällor; Bandgap; Tillståndstäthet;

    Abstract : Density functional theory (DFT) calculations of polyethylene (PE) HVDC cable insulation have been performed for systems containing four different chemical impurities: acetophenone, cumene, $\alpha$-methyl styrene and $\alpha$-cumyl alcohol. Systems were generated by molecular dynamics (MD) equilibration at four different temperatures relevant for cable insulation applications: 277 K, 293 K, 343 K and 363 K. READ MORE

  5. 10. Accelerating bulk material property prediction using machine learning potentials for molecular dynamics : predicting physical properties of bulk Aluminium and Silicon

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Teoretisk Fysik

    Author : Nicholas Sepp Löfgren; [2021]
    Keywords : machine learning; moment tensor potential; kernel ridge regression; molecular dynamics; density functional theory; materials science; data-driven materials design; maskininlärning; molekylärdynamik; täthetsfunktionalteori; materialvetenskap; datadriven materialdesign;

    Abstract : In this project machine learning (ML) interatomic potentials are trained and used in molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to predict the physical properties of total energy, mean squared displacement (MSD) and specific heat capacity for systems of bulk Aluminium and Silicon. The interatomic potentials investigated are potentials trained using the ML models kernel ridge regression (KRR) and moment tensor potentials (MTPs). READ MORE
