1. Societal Impacts of Modern Conscription : Human Capital, Social Capital and Criminal Behaviour
Abstract : Opportunity Costs and Conscription: An Unintended Progressive Tax?Throughout history to present days, policymakers, social commentators and others have oftentimes viewed conscription as a natural extension of secondary education, and an important institution for vocational training. This paper uses Swedish administrative data and exploits a reform in 2004, implying a sudden downsizing of the military, to identify the causal effects of peacetime conscription on later labour market outcomes and education.

2. Towards Novel AlGaN-Based Light Emitters
Abstract : The unique properties of the AlGaN semiconductors make them a suitable choice for optoelectronic devices at both short and long wavelengths, based on interband and intersubband transitions, respectively. What sets AlGaN apart from other wide-bandgap semiconductors is the possibility to obtain both p- and n-type conductivity as well as the direct bandgap. READ MORE

4. Cathodoluminescence Studies of Quantum Structures and III-V nitrides
Abstract : Characterization of low-dimensional semiconductor structures is a challenging task. The thesis is based on experiments, using cathodoluminescence (CL) as a tool for characterization. The high spatial resolution and the possibility of spectroscopy of small structures make CL one of the most powerful techniques for these types of investigations. READ MORE

5. Thin-film ultraviolet light-emitting diodes realized by electrochemical etching of AlGaN
Abstract : Ultraviolet (UV) light sources have a direct impact on everyone’s life. They are used to sterilize surfaces as well as for water purification. In addition, they are used in green houses to enhance health-promoting substances in plants, for phototherapy to treat skin diseases, for sensing and material curing. READ MORE
