Using Lyapunov Exponents to Explain the Dynamics of Complex Systems
(Department of Physics. University of Gothenburg, 2024)Complex systems often display chaotic dynamics, characterised by being exponentially sensitive to changes in initial conditions. Such systems are in general difficult to analyse, due to the large number of nonlinearly ... -
The mechanical Paul trap in the upper secondary physics laboratory
(2023)In physics, toy models are often used in popular science contexts. Further, toy models have also been used to communicate some important principles of abstract phenomena qualitatively. One such example can be found in ... -
Prospects for performing tests of quantum electrodynamics with high-intensity lasers
(2023)Charged particles emit radiation in the presence of strong electromagnetic fields. Emission implies a recoil on the charge, altering its dynamics and is referred to as radiation reaction (RR). Current experiments are on ... -
Visualizations of particle-field interactions
(2022)Visualizations within physics education are critical for learning physics and can be realized in a classroom with experiments, demonstrations, digital tools, mathematical analysis, or other representations, all with ... -
The versatility of optical levitation
(University of Gothenburg / Göteborgs universitet, 2022)The breadth of applications of optical tweezers in life sciences is so large, that it merited Arthur Ashkin a Nobel prize in 2018. Although optical levitation in air was invented first, it has not managed to be so widely ... -
Smart microswimmers in complex flows
(2022)Zooplankton are playing a pivotal role in balancing the life on Earth. By grazing on phytoplankton and then serving as food source to larger aquatic animals, they pave the way of redistributing the Sun’s energy and ... -

Clustering and caustics in one-dimensional models of turbulent aerosols
(Göteborgs universitet, 2018)Heavy particles suspended in turbulent fluid flows, so-called turbulent aerosols, are common in Nature and in technological applications. A prominent example is rain droplets in turbulent clouds. Due to their inertia, ... -
Far-infrared conformer-specific signatures of small aromatic molecules of biological importance
(2016)Our understanding of many biological processes requires knowledge about biomolecular structure and weak intra- and intermolecular interactions (e.g. hydrogen bonding). Both molecular structure and weak interactions can ... -
Lärares formande av en yrkesidentitet relaterad till hållbar utveckling
(2011)Swedish schools are required to educate for sustainable development (ESD). The challenges for the teachers are demanding as the content is controversial and complex. This study focuses on exploring the different ways ...
