Dissipation, mixing and two level system in quantum field theory
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2012-04-30)In this dissertation we discuss several aspects of a two level system (qubit) in the context of quantum mechanics and quantum field theory. The presence of geometrical phases in the evolution of a qubit state is shown. We ... -
Electric transport properties of S/F hybrids: weak and inhomogenous ferromagnet
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2012-03-30)Superconductivity (S) and ferromagnetism (F) are competing phases whose coexistence is unlikely to occur. Exceptions require a non−uniform profile both for the pairing and the magnetization, as in the case of the FFLO ... -
Exact solutions in general relativity and alternative theories of gravity: mathematical and physical properties
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2011-06-06)In this thesis, we discuss several subjects connected with the framework of GR, in order to characterize astrophysical compact objects. The main purpose is to provide simple models describing gravitational fields generated ... -
Flavor mixing in quantum field theory and quantum information
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2011-05-10)After reviewing the formalism for describing flavor mixing, both in Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Field Theory, some consequences along three different directions are studied. First, it is proposed that flavor mixing can ... -
Graphene and carbon nanotubes in transistors, diodes and field emission devices
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2017-03-22)Since their discovery, graphene and carbon nanotubes have been playing an important role in nanoscience and nanotechnology thanks to their extraordinary physical and chemical properties. With silicon-based electronics ... -
The ground deformations: tools, methods and application to some Italian volcanic regions
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2012-06-13)The objective of this thesis is the study of slow deformation of the soil as a result of intrusion of magma inside the magmatic chambers of some volcanoes located in Southern Italy. In particular, the Mt. Vesuvius and ... -
Improvements in the acoustical modelling of traffic noise prediction: theoretical and experimental results
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2011-04-21)Traffic acoustical noise is one of the most important component of the urban environmental pollution in densely populated areas all over the world. A very recent ACI-Censis study [1] on Italian urban areas shows that car ... -
Influence of grains on the electromagnetic ac response of superconducting materials
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2016-04-20)Type II superconducting materials are technologically interesting since they are characterized by the existence of a superconducting phase even after the penetration of the magnetic field inside them. In fact, while type ... -
Interface effects in superconducting heterostructures
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2016-04-14)This work debates a theoretical investigation of the interfacial effects about heterostructures with normal metals and superconductors. At the beginning we will introduce the basic physical phenomena our calculations deal ... -
Interplay of spin-orbital correlations and structural distortions in Ru- and Cr- based perovskite systems
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2012-07-02)The transition metal oxides are emerging as the natural playground where the intriguing effects induced by electron correlations can be addressed. Since the s electron of the transition metals are transferred to the ... -
Investigation of the groundwater-river interaction, using Radon-222 as a natural tracer, in a karst Mediterranean environment like in the case study of the Bussento river basin
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2010-04-27)The naturally-occurring radionuclides have proven to be powerful tools for assessing the time dependency of GSI processes. The radionuclide 222Rn (referred to as radon) has the advantage of being a radioactive noble gas, ... -
