Fall 2011
Models of interacting quantum spins have contributed significantly to our understanding of magnetism. The Heisenberg model on square lattice, which exhibits semiclassical N´eel order, is one of the canonical models. However, with frustration introduced by competing interactions, the system...

Liquid to Liquid-Liquid Transitions: Impact on the Apparent Viscosity of Model Hydrocarbon + "Solvent" Mixtures
DownloadSpring 2017
Injection of carbon dioxide or low molar mass hydrocarbons to improve the productivity of oil wells has become a common practice. Such injectants are not fully miscible in reservoir fluids and oils leading to liquid-liquid phase behaviour in reservoirs, in production systems and surface...

In this thesis we investigate how corrections originating from particle-hole interactions may be introduced into the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) theory of superconductivity using functional integral methods. The attractive Fermionic contact interaction is simultaneously decoupled in the...
