  1. 1. Exploring the effects of pressure on the magnetic properties of quasi-low dimensional quantum magnets via thermodynamic measurements

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Synkrotronljusfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Emelie Zhu; [2024]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Four model solid state compounds were used to experimentally investigate the effects of pressure on the interactions in one- and two-dimensional Heisenberg magnetic models. BaCuSi2O6, BaCu2V2O8, SrCuO2 and CuGeO3 were successfully synthesized via solid-state reactions and characterized via x-ray diffraction. READ MORE

  3. 2. A cross-correlation analysis of a warm super-Neptune using transit spectroscopy

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomi

    Author : Elias Önerud; [2023]
    Keywords : Cross-correlation; cross-correlation spectroscopy; cross-correlation analysis; super-Neptune; astronomy; astrophysics; WASP-107; WASP-107 b; CRIRES ; SysRem; exoplanet; transmission spectrum; transit;

    Abstract : A study was made in order to deduce whether certain chemical species, namely water (H2O) and carbon monoxide (CO), are present in the atmosphere of the exoplanet WASP-107 b, which lies about 200 light-years away from Earth in the constellation Virgo. The project was carried out at Uppsala University at the Department of Physics and Astronomy. READ MORE

  4. 3. The chemical evolution of the Milky Way: pushing APOGEE to higher precision and accuracy

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Astrofysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Erik Fridén; [2023]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : In the recent decade, a rapid increase in all-sky spectroscopic surveys has occurred, and with it, the wealth of observational data and information on our Galaxy. Consequently, numerous detections of new structures, such as new open clusters, accreted and in-situ components, are discovered. READ MORE

  5. 4. Estimating stellar limb darkening using exoplanet transits

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Astrofysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Sora Ishida; [2023]
    Keywords : Limb-darkening; CHEOPS; Transit; Exoplanet; PYCHEOPS; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The brightness of the stars is not uniform over the surface as it varies depending on the wavelength and the atmosphere that the light propagates. Limb darkening is an optical effect caused by a decrease in brightness of the star towards the edge. READ MORE

  6. 5. Application of ring statistics to characterise graphitisation of carbon fiber heat shields under atmospheric re-entry conditions

    University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner, marina system, flyg- och rymdteknik, rörelsemekanik

    Author : Hamish Keay; [2023]
    Keywords : Aerospace; Heat shields; Re-entry; Graphitisation; Carbon fiber; Carbon phenolic; Ring statistics; Graph theory; Molecular Dynamics; återinträde; grafitisering; kolfiber; kolfenol; ringstatistik; grafteori; molekylär dynamik;

    Abstract : Carbon fibers submitted to high temperatures (>2000 °C) experience a permanent increasein their thermal conductivity. This change has been attributed to a change in the molecularstructure due to graphitisation. READ MORE
