Atomic "bomb testing": The Elitzur-Vaidman experiment violates the Leggett-Garg inequality (2018)
Book Chapter
Robens, C., Alt, W., Emary, C., Meschede, D., & Alberti, A. (2018). Atomic "bomb testing": The Elitzur-Vaidman experiment violates the Leggett-Garg inequality. In Exploring the World with the Laser: Dedicated to Theodor Hänsch on his 75th Birthday (141-157). Exploring the World with the Laser: Springer International Publishing. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-64346-5_10

Elitzur and Vaidman have proposed a measurement scheme that, based on the quantum superposition principle, allows one to detect the presence of an object—in a dramatic scenario, a bomb—without interacting with it. It was pointed out by Ghirardi that... Read More about Atomic "bomb testing": The Elitzur-Vaidman experiment violates the Leggett-Garg inequality.

Galactic chemical evolution (2017)
Book Chapter
Mollá, M., Cavichia, O., Costa, R. D. D. D., Gibson, B. K., & Díaz, Á. I. (in press). Galactic chemical evolution. In Highlights of Spanish astrophysics IX. Barcelona: Sociedad Española de Astronomía

We analyze the evolution of oxygen abundance radial gradients resulting from our chemical evolution models calculated with different prescriptions for the star formation rate (SFR) and for the gas infall rate, in order to assess their respective role... Read More about Galactic chemical evolution.

Nanoparticles-based flash-like nonvolatile memories: Cluster beam synthesis of metallic nanoparticles and challenges for the overlying control oxide layer (2017)
Book Chapter
Verrelli, E., & Tsoukalas, D. (2017). Nanoparticles-based flash-like nonvolatile memories: Cluster beam synthesis of metallic nanoparticles and challenges for the overlying control oxide layer. In P. Dimitrakis (Ed.), Charge-Trapping Non-Volatile Memories (157-210). Cham: Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-48705-2_5

Nanoparticles (NPs) are of great scientific interest as they are effectively a bridge between bulk materials and atomic or molecular structures. In this work the focus is to present results concerning the use of NPs deposited using a novel room tempe...

Geometrical structures of chemically decomposed thick and thin disk populations (2016)
Book Chapter
Kawata, D., Brook, C., Rahimi, A., & Gibson, B. (2017). Geometrical structures of chemically decomposed thick and thin disk populations.

We summarize the thick and thin disk formation commonly seen in cosmological N-body simulations. As suggested in Brook et al. (2004), a hierarchical clustering scenario causes multiple minor gas-rich mergers, and leads to the formation of a kinematic...

Feedback control in quantum transport (2016)
Book Chapter
Emary, C. (2016). Feedback control in quantum transport. In Understanding Complex Systems; Control of Self-Organizing Nonlinear Systems (275-287). Control of Self-Organizing Nonlinear Systems: Springer International Publishing. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-28028-8_14

Quantum transport is the study of the motion of electrons through nano-scale structures small enough that quantum effects are important. In this contribution I review recent theoretical proposals to use the techniques of quantum feedback control to m... Read More about Feedback control in quantum transport.

Galactic archaeology and minimum spanning trees (2015)
Book Chapter
MacFarlane, B. A., Gibson, B. K., & Flynn, C. M. L. (2015). Galactic archaeology and minimum spanning trees. In I. Skillen, M. Balcells, & S. Trager (Eds.), Multi-Object Spectroscopy in the Next Decade: Big Questions, Large Surveys, and Wide Fields (79-83). Astronomical Society of the Pacific

Chemical tagging of stellar debris from disrupted open clusters and associations underpins the science cases for next-generation multi-object spectroscopic surveys. As part of the Galactic Archaeology project TraCD (Tracking Cluster Debris), a prelim... Read More about Galactic archaeology and minimum spanning trees.

The evolution of the radial gradient of oxygen abundance in spiral galaxies (1900)
Book Chapter
Gibson, B., Ascasibar, Y., Cavichia, O., Costa, R. D. D. D., Díaz, Á., Maciel, W. J., & Mollá, M. (in press). The evolution of the radial gradient of oxygen abundance in spiral galaxies.

The aim of this work is to present our new series of chemical evolution models computed for spiral and low mass galaxies of different total masses and star formation efficiencies. We analyze the results of models, in particular the evolution of the r... Read More about The evolution of the radial gradient of oxygen abundance in spiral galaxies.
