Superconducting materials are used in several applications among which the large-scale ones take advantage of the high energy transport capabilities of superconductors due to the low losses in electrical conduction. From ...

ZnO is an intrinsic n-type, wide band-gap (3.4 eV at 0 K), semiconductor which has been attracted the interest of the scientific community for several decades. More recently, ZnO has caught a renewed interest due to the ...

Human exposure to natural Naturally Occurring Ionizing Radiation (NOIR), as that one related to Radon and its progeny, has been established as harmful by the worldwide scientific community and acknowledged by many international ...

The main goal of this dissertation is the study of the effects induced by quantum confinement in transition-metal oxides quantum wells (QWs). The field of possible applications of oxide-based heterostructures (oxide-based ...

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) are techniques that have seen a remarkable success and a fast growth over the past decades. Thanks to its non-invasivity and non-descrutivity, the MRI ...

In this work, several experiments and analyses performed by means of noise spectroscopy, on a broad typology of materials and compounds, are presented. Structural, DC electrical transport and noise properties are exposed ...
