Understanding the structure of biomolecules, which are directly related to physiological processes that take place in the human body, has always generated a large interest in the scientific community. In this thesis we focus our attention on two of these c ...
Tokamaks and stellarators are the most promising reactor concepts using the magnetic confinement to contain the plasma fuel. Reactors capable of sustaining deuterium-tritium (D-T) fusion reactions requires the confinement of a very high temperature plasma ...
A novel strategy for post-synthesis amine borane functionalization of MOFs under gas-solid phase transformation, utilizing gaseous diborane, is reported. The covalently confined amine borane derivative decorated on the framework backbone is stable when pre ...
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy allows one to study and analyze the structure, motions and interactions of a broad variety of molecules. However, this technique has a major inconvenience: its low sensitivity, which therefore often results in ...
Path integral methods provide a rigorous and systematically convergent framework to include the quantum mechanical nature of atomic nuclei in the evaluation of the equilibrium properties of molecules, liquids, or solids at finite temperature. Such nuclear ...
In the EDIPO test facility, superconducting cables with a current carrying capacity up to 100 kA can be tested in a background field of 12.5 T. A NbTi transformer, operated at ???4.5 K, provides the sample current of up to 100 kA. The high-temperature supe ...

Several aspects in the field of molecular self assembly are addressed in this thesis. Thanks to the scanning tunnelling microscope (STM), structural, electronic and magnetic properties on surfaces can be studied down to the size of a single atom. In this t ...
Partial autoionization rates of doubly excited one-dimensional helium in the collinear Zee and eZe configuration are obtained by means of the complex rotation method. The approach presented here relies on a projection of back-rotated resonance wave functio ...
Irradiation is known to lead to degradation of mechanical properties of materials. Structural materials for nuclear applications can be affected by helium produced by transmutations. The objectives of this work were: (a) to investigate the effects of He on ...
We propose an original method for the determination of the physical properties of nanometer sized helium bubbles using spectrum imaging in an energy-filtered transmission electron microscope. Helium bubbles synthesized by high fluence implantation and ther ...
We consider a general approach for the process of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian reduction by symmetries in chiral gauge models. This approach is used to show the complete integrability of several one dimensional texture equations arising in liquid Helium phas ...
