An ambitwistor string field theory approach to supergravity (2018)
Thesis
Riccombeni, D. A. An ambitwistor string field theory approach to supergravity. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4398544

In this thesis a covariant closed superstring field theory, equivalent to classical ten-dimensional Type II supergravity, is presented. The defining conformal field theory is the ambitwistor string worldsheet theory of Mason and Skinner [1]. This t... Read More about An ambitwistor string field theory approach to supergravity.

We investigated the atomic fill site probability distributions across supercell structures of RT12-x Ti (R = Nd and Sm; T = Fe and Co). We use a combined molecular dynamics and Boltzmann distribution approach to extrapolate the probability distributi...

Competition of lattice and spin excitations in the temperature dependence of spin-wave properties (2018)
Journal Article

The interplay of magnons and phonons can induce strong temperature variations in the magnetic exchange interactions, leading to changes in the magnetothermal response. This is a central mechanism in many magnetic phenomena, and in the new field of Sp...

In this study, we examine the effect of a flexible description of the clathrate hydrate framework on the translation-rotation (TR) eigenstates of guest molecules such as molecular hydrogen. Traditionally, the water cage structure is assumed to be rig...
