During operation of high-power nuclear fusion reactors plasma-facing components (PFCs) are exposed to challenging conditions. Due to its properties, pure tungsten is currently the preferred candidate for the plasma-facing material (PFM). [...]

The interplay between exchange interaction and spin-orbit coupling (SOC) in lowdimensional ferromagnetic systems plays a pivotal role in shaping their electronic and spin properties, with direct implications for spintronic applications. This thesisinvestigates the electronic structure of ultrathin epitaxial FePd alloy on Pd(001) using spin- and momentum-resolving photoemission spectroscopy, focusing on symmetry breaking and SOC-driven band hybridization. [...]

Spectral Deferred Correction (SDC) is a method for numerically integrating initial value problems. The method iteratively generates solutions to fully implicit Runge-Kutta methods with forward substitution using low order solves. [...]
