    A Cluster Approach Applied to the One-Dimensional Anderson-Hubbard Model

    Year: 2019, 2019
    Member of: Trent University Graduate Thesis Collection
    Name(s): Creator (cre): Allum, Donovan James McMurrich, Thesis advisor (ths): Wortis, Rachel, Degree committee member (dgc): Atkinson, Bill A, Degree committee member (dgc): de Hann, Hendrick, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
    Abstract: <p>S. Johri and R. Bhatt developed a real-space renormalization group approach aimed at extracting the localized single-particle eigenstates of the Anderson model from a large system by identifying clusters of resonant site potentials. E. Campbell generalized this real-space renormalization group approach using standard perturbation theory. Both approaches were intended to approximate the… more

    Real-space renormalization group approach to the Anderson model

    Year: 2017, 2017
    Member of: Trent University Graduate Thesis Collection
    Name(s): Creator (cre): Campbell, Eamonn Alexander, Thesis advisor (ths): Wortis, Rachel, Degree committee member (dgc): Tamblyn, Isaac, Degree committee member (dgc): Atkinson, Bill A, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
    Abstract: <p>Many of the most interesting electronic behaviours currently being studied are associated with strong correlations. In addition, many of these materials are disordered either intrinsically or due to doping. Solving interacting systems exactly is extremely computationally expensive, and approximate techniques developed for strongly correlated systems are not easily adapted to include… more

    Investigation of Using Phase Change Materials for Thermal Energy Storage in Adiabatic Compressed Air Energy Storage

    Year: 2015, 2015
    Member of: Trent University Graduate Thesis Collection
    Name(s): Creator (cre): Tessier, Michael, Thesis advisor (ths): NARINE, SURESH S, Degree committee member (dgc): Atkinson, Bill A, Degree committee member (dgc): Kaye, Matthew H, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
    Abstract: <p>There is an increasing global need for grid scale electrical energy storage to handle the implementation of intermittent renewable energy sources. Adiabatic compressed air energy storage is an emerging technology with similar performance to pumped hydro except it has the issue of heat loss during the compression stage. Previously, it has been considered to use sensible heat storage… more
