  2. 1. Quantitative Electron Microscopy Studies of Metal Nanoparticle Catalysts: Nanostructure, Support Interaction and Ageing Effects

    Author : Torben Nilsson Pingel; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; CO oxidation; strain; ageing; specimen preparation; scanning electron microscopy SEM ; FIB SEM; supported nanoparticle catalyst; transmission electron microscopy TEM ; particle size distribution PSD ; platinum;

    Abstract : Heterogeneous catalysis plays a major role in modern society, for example in chemical production, sustainable energy production and emission control technologies. Metal nanoparticles (NPs) supported on oxide materials are frequent catalytic systems in this field. READ MORE

  4. 2. Nanoplasmonic Spectroscopy of Single Nanoparticles Tracking Size and Shape Effects in Pd Hydride Formation

    Author : Svetlana Syrenova; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; hole-mask colloidal lithography; enthalpy of formation; palladium nanoparticles and nanocrystals; metal-hydrogen interactions; shrinking-hole colloidal lithography; localized surface plasmon resonance; dark field scattering spectroscopy; single particle spectroscopy; nanoscale effects; plasmonic sensors;

    Abstract : Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) is a phenomenon of collective oscillation of conduction electrons in metal nanoparticles smaller than the wavelength of light that is used for its excitation. Plasmonic metal nanoparticles are able to confine light to extremely small volumes around them, i.e. below the diffraction limit. READ MORE

  5. 3. Plasmonic Nanostructures for Optical Absorption Engineering and Hydrogen Sensing

    Author : Carl Wadell; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; photocatalysis; metal hydride; alloy nanoparticles; palladium; absorption engineering; plasmon enhanced chemistry; nanoplasmonic sensing; nanoparticle size effects; localized surface plasmon resonance; hydrogen sensing;

    Abstract : Nanoplasmonics concerns the interactions between light and metal nanoparticles. In this thesis nanoplasmonics is used in two different ways: i) to control and enhance light absorption, and ii) for optical hydrogen sensing. READ MORE

  6. 4. Health-related aerosol particle studies, respiratory tract deposition and indoor source identification

    Author : Jakob Löndahl; Kärnfysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; aerosol particle; health; ultrafine particles; nanoparticle; deposition; respiratory tract; Fysicumarkivet A:000;

    Abstract : Aerosol particles have, since Classical Antiquity, been linked to adverse effects on human health. It is estimated that the particles in urban air pollution causes 100 000 deaths in Europe each year, whereof 5 000 in Sweden. READ MORE

  7. 5. Multicomponent Resonant Nanostructures: Plasmonic and Photothermal Effects

    Author : Vadim Zakomirnyi; Hans Ågren; Zilvinas Rinkevicius; Sergey Karpov; Davy Gérard; KTH; []
    Keywords : plasmonics; photonics; nanoparticles; Teoretisk kemi och biologi; Theoretical Chemistry and Biology;

    Abstract : In recent decades, plasmonic nanoparticles have attracted considerable attention due to their ability to localize electromagnetic energy at a scale much smaller than the wavelength of optical radiation. The study of optical plasmon waveguides (OPWs) in the form of chains of nanoparticles is important for modern photonics. READ MORE
