Ph.D. students represent one of the leading forces in the research activities that are conducted in our department. A successful Ph.D. program should, however, not uniquely be focused on guiding the candidates to produce -outstanding, as is often the case-scientific results, but also on helping them to establish an independent network of collaborations both inside …

Circular polycatenanes, supramolecular objects composed of molecular rings interlocked to form a large ring, were the object of the second seminar of the series “A quantum of matter”. These objects have been shown to mimic the properties of double-stranded DNA rings: in particular, these supramolecular structures can exchange twist, a local property, with writhe, a …

LM thesis proposal Supervisor: Giacomo Baldi In the last years, phase-change non-volatile memory devices have risen important attention for technological applications [1]. They are made by phase-change materials (PCMs), a class of functional materials that are reversibly and rapidly switched between amorphous and crystalline states by electrical pulses in a short timescale of a few …

LM thesis proposal Supervisors: Marco Zanatta & Giacomo Baldi At the macroscopic scale, an amorphous solid can be considered as an isotropic continuum and sound wave propagation is well described by the usual elasticity theory. However, the thermal properties at low temperatures (below 1 K) are heavily affected by the presence of two-level states whose …
