Quantization of Charge Transport in Gapped Ground States KU Leuven
In this thesis we investigate the topological structure of the set of gapped ground states of charge conserving systems. The connected components of this set are called gapped phases. The approach taken is to find topological invariants of gapped ground states taking values in a discrete set, and changing continuously under continuous deformations of the ground state. As such, the topological invariants are constant within the same ...

Statistical mechanics of inhomogeneous complex fluids and particle transport models KU Leuven
Statistical mechanics is applied to three systems; Colloid-polymer mixture near a hard wall, irreversible aggregation models, and transport phenomena in engines.
Density Functional theory is used to describe a demixed colloid-polymer mixture at three-phase coexistence. The excess surface free energy for imposed wetting layers are computed and the line tension and the shape of the transition zone are computed via an interface ...
