Unpublished material.
PhD Thesis: nonequilibrium statistical physics in ecology: vegetation patterns, animal mobility and temporal fluctuations.
R. Martinez-Garcia. Supervisor: C. Lopez.
PhD Thesis submitted to the Department of Physics of the University of the Balearic Islands.
This thesis focuses on the application of techniques brought from statistical physics to the study of ecological problems. Three topics are investigated: the formation of patterns of vegetation in water-limited systems, the collective movement and behavior of animal species and the effect of time fluctuating environments in many interacting particles systems.

The effect of temporal disorder on complex systems: Temporal Griffiths Phases.
R. Martinez-Garcia. Supervisors: C. Lopez and F. Vazquez. Master Thesis.
Systems with two symmetric absorbing states are known to exhibit a variety of phase transitions to one of the absorbing states depending on the value of the control parameter. In this work, the effect on each phase transition of having a stochastic time dependent control parameter is investigated. The critical behavior is shown to change for dimensions higher than a critical one. Furthermore, a subregion in the active phase where the extinction time scales algebraically with the size of the system and measurable quantities such as the magnetic susceptibility diverge, appears. This region is called Temporal Griffiths Phases because of its phenomenological similarities with the Grifftiths Phases in systems with spatial disorder

Enredo cuántico: obtención de un estado enredado entre dos sistemas atómicos simples.
R. Martinez.
Supervisor: S. Brouard. Report sent to "Arquimedes contest" (In Spanish).
In 1994, Cirac and Zoller proposed a procedure which allows the possibility of obtaining entangled states in systems composed by two or more atoms, that are much easier to manipulate than photons. This is achieved through the successive interaction of the atoms with the electromagnetic field sustained in a QED cavity. In this work it is studied how is this procedure affected by the interaction of the setup with the environment. We study the effect of the atomic decay, the width of the atomic wave function...
