Probing and realising long range topological superconductivity
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2021-09-08)
Master thesis
Open Access
Covenantee: Universitat de Barcelona / Universitat Autònoma de BarcelonaIn recent years, there has been a lot of work, that has focused on studying Ising spin chains with tunable long-range interactions. Such chains can now, for instance, be experimentally realized using ultracold atoms or in ... -
Twisted electrons as an imaging tool for probing chiral molecules in strong field ionization
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2021-09-08)
Master thesis
Open Access
Covenantee: Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona / Universitat de BarcelonaOrbital angular momentum (OAM) carried by vortex beams has seen an explosion of interest across fields and this is particularly true in attosecond physics. Given that twisted electrons have been shown to be sensitive to ... -

(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2021-08-30)
Master thesis
Restricted access - author's decision
Covenantee: Institut de Ciències Fotòniques (ICFO) / Universitat de Barcelona / Universitat Autònoma de BarcelonaSurface polaritons are key elements in multiple applications within the field of nanopho- tonics because of their ability to concentrate electromagnetic energy down to length scales comparable to the wavelength λ0 of ... -
Automatic pattern detection on images for multiple-sensor calibration
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2021-09-10)
Master thesis
Restricted access - author's decision
Covenantee: Institut de Ciències Fotòniques (ICFO) / Universitat de Barcelona / Universitat Autònoma de BarcelonaSensor calibration can be done by identifying known points of interest of a calibration pattern into the intensity images captured with the sensor. If the same exact points are identified using multiple sensors, then ... -

Optical super-resolution techniques for 3D profilometry
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2021-09-01)
Master thesis
Open Access
Covenantee: Institut de Ciències Fotòniques (ICFO) / Universitat de Barcelona / Universitat Autònoma de BarcelonaThe resolution of conventional 3D optical profilometers is limited by diffraction, characterized by the numerical aperture (NA) of the objective and the wavelength of the light source used for imaging. To resolve structures ... -
