Microscopic Theory of Relaxation of Magnetization in Single-molecule Magnets KU Leuven
The work will comprise the investigation of physical mechanisms
governing the magnetic relaxation in polynuclear nanomagnets with strong
magnetic anisotropy on the metal sites and the development of efficient tools
for their quantitative description. The approach will based on the theory of
quantum relaxation combined with a realistic treatment of the electronicstructure of nanomagnets. The questions tobe addressed in the ...
Chemisorption reaction mechanisms for ruthenium atomic layer deposition (ALD): an atomistic insight. KU Leuven
In this thesis, we have explored and applied different computational techniques, i.e. density functional theory (DFT), multiconfigurational perturbation, coupled cluster, and density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) methods in order to solve different chemical problems of transition metal (TM) complexes.
In gas phase, we have established a general procedure using high-quality ab initio methods to efficiently study binding energies of ...

Xeno-nucleic acid polymerases by directed evolution. KU Leuven
Artificial or xeno nucleic acids (XNAs) present an alternative to natural genetic polymers by expanding chemical diversity and improving chemical and biological stability, with potential applications in, for example, therapeutics. XNA differs from its natural counterparts by modifications applied to the nucleobases, sugar-phosphate backbone, nucleotide leaving group, or a combination of these. In the long run, XNA could form the basis of an ...
