Two-dimensional Spin Ice and the Sixteen-Vertex Model
In this thesis we present a thorough study of the static and dynamic properties of the 2D sixteen-vertex model or, in other words, a simplified version of the dipolar... -
New trends in the physics of spinor exciton-polariton condensates : topologic...
Along this thesis manuscript I shall present some emergent nonlinear phenomena in spinor exciton polariton condensates. After an introductory chapter bringing the... -
Collective dynamics of excitons and exciton-polaritons in nanoscale heterostr...
In my thesis I will discuss some aspects of collective dynamics of excitons and exciton-polaritons in nanoscale heterostructures. In the first Chapter I will make a... -
Spatial solitons and optical vortices in nematic liquid crystals
Liquid crystals have been all along a fertile background for scientific research, from mathematics to material science and optics; their use is not limited to displays...
