Non-equilibrium steady state properties and phase transitions of some one dimensional quantum magnets

The motivation of this thesis was the study of magnetic systems away from equilibrium. For convenience we have chosen to study properties of steady states and also one-dimensional magnets. The main focus has been on some variations of the Transverse Field Ising Model which has served as a fundamenta...
