Measuring atomic properties with an atom interferometer
Two experiments are presented which measure atomic properties using an atom interferometer. The interferometer splits the sodium de Broglie wave into two paths, one of which travels through an interaction region. The paths are recombined, and the interference pattern exhibits a phase shift …

First-principles studies of perovskite thin films and heterostructures
… however, the effects of film growth, atomic adsorption, and strain can have fundamental effects on the properties of the oxides in question. In this dissertation, we use density functional theory to calculate the properties of SrTiO₃ and BaTiO₃, and discover the effects of the …

Theoretical Modelling and Characterisation of Concerted Tip and Surface Effects in NC-AFM
… that image molecules and surfaces with atomic precision. One such technique that has answered this call is Non-Contact Atomic Force Microscopy (NC-AFM), which has a very successful history of directly probing many atomic properties on a wide variety of systems. Interpretation of …

Using Deep Learning to Understand and Design Heterogeneous Materials
… substantial potential for tailoring materials properties and behaviors. However, the compositional and structural heterogeneity in materials complicates the calculation of their properties and extensively expands their design space. As a result, it poses challenges to conventional computational …

Quantum-size effects in the electronic structure of novel self-organized systems with reduced dimensionality
The Thesis is focused on the properties of self-organized nanostructures. Atomic and electronic properties of different systems have been investigated using methods of electron diffraction, scanning tunneling microscopy and photoelectron spectroscopy. Implementation of the STM technique (including …
