Detailed study of local and regional seismicity recorded by the underground UNDERSEIS array at Gran Sasso (Central Italy)
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2011-05-13)In this work I analyzed seismic data recorded by two arrays installed in the area of Mt. Gran Sasso (Central Italy), one located at 1.4 km depth (UNDERSEIS), and the other at surface (Fontari). The aim is to compare the ... -
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 ... -
Trasporto quantistico di spin in eterostrutture magnetiche
