1. Dwarf and Subgiant Stars as Probes of Galactic Chemical and Dynamical Evolution
Abstract : Stellar chemical abundances provide astronomers with vital information about the production of chemical elements. Some stars preserve the composition of the environment in which they were born on their surfaces. READ MORE

2. Thermal stability and age hardening of TiN-based thin films
Abstract : The work presented herein is about characterizing phase transformations in cathodic arc plasma-deposited Ti1-xA1xN and Ti1-zZrzN thin films for cutting tool applications, and to investigate how the films' mechanical properties are affected by such transformations during thermal annealing. Post-deposition analyses were carried out using X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), nanoindentation, four-point probe sheet resistance, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS).

3. ALD Buffer Layer Growth and Interface Formation on Cu(In,Ga)Se2 Solar Cell Absorbers
Abstract : Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) thin film solar cells contain a thin layer of CdS. To avoid toxic heavy-metal-containing waste in the module production the development of a cadmium-free buffer layer is desirable. This thesis considers alternative Cd-free buffer materials deposited by Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD). READ MORE

4. Ageing of Asphalt Mixtures : Micro-scale and mixture morphology investigation
Abstract : There are many variables that affect the viscoelastic properties of asphalt mixtures with time, among which age hardening may be considered one of the important ones. Age hardening of asphalt mixtures is an irreversible process, which contributes to a reduction of the durability of pavements and eventually increases the maintenance cost. READ MORE

5. Patterns in diversity : Geochemical analyses and settlement changes during the Iron Age - Early Medieval time in the Lake Mälaren region, Sweden
Abstract : The principal aims of this thesis were two-fold, encompassing both a geochemical approach and a focus on the settlement structure of the Lake Mälaren region of Sweden during the first millennium A.D. READ MORE
