The aim of the OPERA experiment is to provide a “smoking-gun” proof of neutrino oscillations, through the detection of the appearance signal of ντ’s in an initially pure νμ beam. The beam is produced at CERN, 732 Km far ...

This dissertation collects results of my own work about heterostructures with unconventional ferromagnets and superconductors. It both introduces the matter by reviewing part of the existing literature and it includes ...

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 ...

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 oxygen ...

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 Campi ...

Vengono presentate e discusse le fasi di progettazione, realizzazione e valutazione di efficacia di un percorso didattico di insegnamento/apprendimento incentrato sui materiali superconduttori partendo dalle loro proprietà ...

In this thesis I will discuss the theory of two level systems and the theory of the oscillating particles in quantum eld theory. In the rst chapter I will consider the time evolution of a two level system, a qubit, to ...

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 ...

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 ...

Quantum systems can necessarily be viewed as open systems. As in classical physics, any realistic description of a system must take into account the cou- pling to an environment that strongly in uences the system itself. ...
