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 state ...

This dissertation is addressed to summarize my experimental/phenomenological research activities conducted at the laboratories of Physics Department, University of Salerno. The experimental work consisted in the fabrication ...

When the applied magnetic field is higher than the lower critical field but below the upper critical field, a type-II superconductor allows magnetic flux to penetrate it in the form of vortices, a tiny normal area surrounded ...

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 ...

In questa tesi abbiamo studiato il trasporto di spin polarizzato e la torsione dello spin usando l’apporoccio della matrice di scattering secondo la teoria di Buttiker, nel caso di barriere magnetiche finite sotto l'effetto ...

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 ...

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 ...
