  2. 1. Influence of Self-trapping, Clamping and Confinement on Hydrogen Absorption

    Author : Gunnar Karl Pálsson; Björgvin Hjörvarsson; Keith Ross; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; hydrogen diffusion; thin films; superlattices; phase transitions; confinement; clamping; self-trapping; finite-size effect; Surfaces and interfaces; Ytor och mellanytor; Physics with spec. in Atomic; Molecular and Condensed Matter Physics; Fysik med inriktning mot atom- molekyl- och kondenserande materiens fysik;

    Abstract : The dissociation of hydrogen molecules at surfaces is the first step in the absorption process. If the absorbing material is covered by an oxide, this layer will determine the effective uptake rate of an underlying absorbing material. READ MORE

  4. 2. Photothermal Effect in Plasmonic Nanostructures and its Applications

    Author : Xi Chen; Min Qiu; Sergey I. Bozhevolnyi; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Plasmonic; Photothermal Effect; Silicon Photonics; Gold Nanoparticles; Physics; Fysik;

    Abstract :   Plasmonic resonances are characterized by enhanced optical near field and subwavelength power confinement. Light is not only scattered but also simultaneously absorbed in the metal nanostructures. READ MORE

  5. 3. Turbulent jets in confined spaces : application in mixing ventilation: experimental and numerical studies

    Author : Taghi Karimipanah; Mats Sandberg; H. A. Awbi; Högskolan i Gävle; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; turbulent; wall jet; impinging jet; free jet; confinement effect; pressure; throw; experimental; numerical; corner; momentum; mixing ventilation;

    Abstract : The basis of mixing ventilation is the airflow supply to the room by means of jets initiatedfrom the ventilation diffusers. To avoid the draught problem, the design of mixing ventilationmakes uses the throw term, which is defined as the distance to the supply air terminal inwhich the jet centreline mean velocity is decreased to a given value.

  6. 4. Dynamics of Disordered Materials in Confined Geometries

    Author : Christer Svanberg; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; polymer film; glass transition; confinement; polymer gel; dynamics; dielectric spectroscopy; gel electrolytes; relaxation; photon correlation; cooperativity;

    Abstract : This thesis is concerned with effects of geometrical confinement on dynamics in disordered materials in the nanoscopic range. Of particular interest is the dynamics around the liquid to glass transition. Two systems have been investigated: thin polymer films and polymer gels. READ MORE

  7. 5. Glass Transition Dynamics in Soft Condensed Matter

    Author : Johan Mattsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; polymer films; beta relaxation; hydrogen bond; glass transition; polymer dynamics; cooperativity; confinement; IXS; Brillouin light scattering; excess wing;

    Abstract : Materials of very different character, ranging from polymers to metals can be made into glasses. The structural and dynamical properties of glass-forming materials are fundamentally different from those found in crystals. Hence, glassy materials exhibit unique characteristics, which make them suitable for a wide range of applications. READ MORE
