The sea elevation at a fixed point is modelled as a quadratic form of a vector valued Gaussian process with arbitrary mean. With this model, saddlepoint methods are used to approximate the mean upcrossing intensity with which the sea level crosses upwards at a certain height. This estimated intensity is further used to determine the probability distribution of wave crests. The use of saddlepoint t
In this paper, wave propagation of electromagnetic pulses in media that are periodic in one spatial direction is analyzed by a time domain technique. The special case of wave propagation in an inhomogeneous planar waveguide with perfectly conducting walls is also discussed. The wave equation is reduced to a set of one dimensional first order hyperbolic equations by an expansion in a complete set o
Cool flame has an important impact on the performance and emission of advanced low-temperature combustion (LTC) internal combustion engines (ICEs) in which the liquid fuel is injected earlier at a lower ambient temperature (Tam) than that in the conventional diesel combustion engines. However, the cool flame characteristics of spray combustion under ICEs conditions are not fully understood, e.g.,
This thesis aims to characterize and counteract the wave steepening effect in a horn loaded loudspeaker. The report consists of two main parts. The first part, the characterization of the horn speaker system, focuses on investigating and understanding the signal distortions introduced by the speaker system. In particular, non-linear distortion is examined to determine any parameter dependence of t

We use crystal-phase tuning during epitaxial growth of InAs nanowires to create quantum dots with very strong confinement. A set of gate electrodes are used to reproducibly split the quantum dots into even smaller pairs for which we can control the populations down to the last electron. The double quantum dots, which are parallel-coupled to source and drain, show clear and stable odd-even level pa
This thesis investigates electronic transport in several types of novel heterostructure nanowires. The first part of the thesis focuses on band-to-band mechanisms in heterostructure nanowires for low-power electronics. First, tunnel field-effect transistors (TFETs) based on InP/GaAs heterostructure nanowires with n-i-p doping profile are explored. To further enhance the interband tunneling current
The ability to manipulate spin states with light forms the basis of spin-based photonics. The development of semiconductors with tunable spin properties will enable devices that use spin for information storage, circular polarized light emission, etc. With the recent reports of a chirality-induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect in electrons, the question arises whether structural chirality provide
The dynamics of a classical, heavy system coupled to a quantum mechanical light system is studied in a simple time-dependent random matrix model, where the degree of complexity can be changed by a “chaoticity parameter.” It is shown that the energy of the quantum mechanical system diffuses as it interacts with the classical system, providing it is chaotic, while a ballistic behavior appears in the
Measurements of quarkonia isolation in jets at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have been shown to disagree with fixed-order non-relativistic quantum chromodynamics (NRQCD) calculations, even at higher orders. Calculations using the fragmenting jet function formalism are able to better describe data but cannot provide full event-level predictions. In this work we provide an alternative model via NR
In this thesis, theoretical studies of the transport properties of three nanoscale systems: one-dimensional (1D) quantum wires (QWRs), zero-dimensional (0D), laterally confined, double-barrier resonant tunnelling structures (DBRTSs) and three-terminal ballistic junctions (TBJs), have been performed. In the first part of the thesis, an overview of the realization and properties of such systems is g
