Abstract:
In this thesis, I study the nanolithography of gallium arsenide samples by local oxidation with an atomic force microscope (AFM). I examine the current theoretical descriptions of the reaction kinetics and compare the results to experimental data. The main goal is to characterize the AFM oxidation process such that high quality features can be routinely patterned. I also investigate the use of alternative oxidation environments in an attempt to improve the height and aspect ratio of the AFM local oxidation features.

In this thesis we study the thermal and inertia effects on atomic friction. The Friction Force Microscope (FFM) is simulated with the Tomlinson model.

We find if the bulk is weakly damped, there is hysteresis in the velocity versus driving force curve. When the tips are weakly damped, the friction force shows large deviations.<br>In the first half of the thesis, we study the atomic friction between an FFM t

The proper understanding of the equation of state (EoS) of highly asymmetric nuclear matter is essential when studying systems such as neutron stars (NSs). Using zero-range Skyrme interactions and finite-range interactions such as Gogny forces, momentum-dependent interactions (MDI) and simple effective interactions (SEI), we analyze the properties of the EoS and the influence they may have on the calculations for NSs. We start by studying the convergence properties of the Taylor series expansion of EoS in powers of the isospin asymmetry. Next, we analyze the accuracy of the results for β-stab

First, we consider the case where the laser light is scattered into a single mode of an optical ring cavity. We then consider the case where the light is scattered into the continuum of vacuum modes of the electric field. The first problem is an extension of recent theor

It is well established that a perturbative treatment of gravity as a quantum field theory leads to a non-renormalisable setup.

This is explored in the asymptotic safety scenario which was initially proposed by S. Weinberg.

Abstract:
Non-contact atomic force microscopy allows us to directly probe the interactions between atoms and molecules. When operated in UHV and at low temperatures, a host of experiments, uniquely possible with the technique, can be carried out. The AFM allows us to characterise the forces present on a surface, resolve the atomic structure of molecules, measure the force required to move an atom, and even directly measure molecular pair potentials. Generally speaking, it is the interaction between the outermost tip and surface atoms that we measure. Therefore, in each of these experiments, understandin

Abstract:
The common understanding of proton-neutron pairing, whose fingerprints are currently investigated in N = Z nuclei, relies on Cooper pair mechanism and BCS-type models. In the present thesis we present an alternative approach which, contrary to BCS models, conserves exactly the particle number and the isospin. In this approach the ground state of N=Z nuclei is described as a condensate of alpha-like quartets built by two neutrons and two protons coupled to the total isospin T=0 and total spin J=0. The comparison with exact shell model calculations shows that the quartet condensation model (QCM)

Abstract:
The quantal Boltzmann&ndash<br>Langevin equation is used to obtain a dispersion relation for the growth rates of instabilities in infinite nuclear matter. The dispersion relation is solved numerically for three different potentials. The quantal results are compared with the semi-classical solutions. It is seen that with the inclusion of the quantal effects the growth rates of the fastest growing modes in the system are reduced and these modes have the tendency to occur at longer wavelengths for all the potentials considered. Furthermore, the boundaries of the spinodal region is determined by t

Abstract:
This thesis describes experimental work done with two of the smallest diatomic alkali molecules, 6Li2 and 23Na6Li, each formed out of its constituent atoms at ultracold temperatures. The 23Na6Li molecule was formed for the first time at ultracold temperatures, after previous attempts failed due to an incorrect assignment of Feshbach resonances in the 6Li+23Na system. The experiment represents successful molecule formation around the most difficult Feshbach resonance ever used, and opens up the possibility of transferring NaLi to its spin-triplet ground state, which has both magnetic and electr

Abstract:
This dissertation addresses both fundamental aspects of Coulomb correlations in semiconductor quantum wells and more practical aspects of theoretical analysis of semiconductor optoelectronic devices. After introducing the subject, we present and evaluate a state-of-the-art theory of the third order coherent optical response of a semiconductor quantum well based on the Dynamics Controlled Truncation (DCT) scheme. Already in the third order (the so-called chi (3)) regime, semiconductors exhibit a number of many-body Coulomb correlation effects. Their manifestation in various multi-pulse experime

Abstract:
In this work the interactions of carriers, electrons and holes, and photons in a semiconductor microcavity are studied in the perturbative and the nonperturbative regimes. In the perturbative regime, modification of the spontaneous emission rate of carriers by a semiconductor microcavity is investigated with 100-nm-thick bulk GaAs. Reabsorption makes the cavity-mode photoluminescence (PL) decay much faster than the square of the carrier density. Here reabsorption distortion is avoided by collecting PL that escapes the microcavity directly without multiple reflections using a ZnSe prism glued t
