Multiwavelength Observations of Solar Magnetic Phenomena and Particle Acceleration
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Physics. Discipline of Physics, 2022)The solar magnetic field is instrumental in controlling the dynamics and topology of all coronal phenomena. The magnetic flux we observe varies by a factor of ~8 over a twenty-two year cycle causing a modulation in the ... -
Examining How Planets Interact With The Stellar Wind Using 3D Numerical Models
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Physics. Discipline of Physics, 2022)The majority of planets do not exist in empty space, but are embedded in the stellar wind, which consists of mostly ionised Hydrogen ejected from the host star. Understanding stellar wind-planet interactions is of huge ... -
Disorder and synchronization in nonequilibrium Bose-Einstein condensates
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Physics. Discipline of Physics, 2022)In this thesis, we investigate the impact of spatial disorder on driven-dissipative Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs). Bose-Einstein condensation is a collective phenomenon where many particles spontaneously occupy a single ... -
Manipulation of Vanadium Oxide Characteristics for Applications: Resistive switching & Reflectance Anisotropy Spectroscopy
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Physics. Discipline of Physics, 2022)This thesis deals with the study of vanadium dioxide, vanadium pentoxide and the mixed 4+ and 5+ valence vanadium oxide phases, or Wadsley phases. Thin films (VO2) and single crystals (V2O5) are examined. Vanadium dioxide ... -
Optimisation of Electrolytically-gated Thin Film Transistors made from Printed Nanosheet Networks
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Physics. Discipline of Physics, 2022)Networks of two-dimensional nanosheets show great potential in a wide variety of different applications, with particular focus on the area of printed electronics. One of the main issues facing such nanosheet network ...
