  2. 1. Atomistic modelling of functional solid oxides for industrial applications : Density Functional Theory, hybrid functional and GW-based studies

    Author : Cecilia Århammar; Rajeev Ahuja; Steven Louie; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; density functional theory; oxides; GW; Condensed matter physics; Kondenserade materiens fysik; Magnetism; Magnetism; Defects and diffusion; Defekter och diffusion;

    Abstract : In this Thesis a set of functional solid oxides for industrial applications have been addressed by first principles and thermodynamical modelling. More specificially, measurable quantities such as Gibbs free energy, geometry and electronic structure have been calculated and compared when possible with experimental data. READ MORE

  4. 2. Micromechanics of oxides - From complex scales to single crystals

    Author : Anand Harihara Subramonia Iyer; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Cr2O3; oxide scales; micromechanical testing; fracture; electron microscopy;

    Abstract : Protective oxide scales shield high temperature materials from corrosion, thus ensuring safety and long material life under adverse operating conditions. Cracking and spallation of such scales can lead to fatigue crack initiation and expose the material to further oxidation. READ MORE

  5. 3. Raman Scattering and Neutron Diffraction Studies of Manganites and Cuprates

    Author : Joakim Bäckström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; high-T-c-superconductivity; Reverse Monte Carlo modelling; oxides; strongly correlated systems; manganites; cuprates; neutron diffraction; colossal magnetoresistance; Raman spectroscopy;

    Abstract : This thesis is devoted to experimental studies of two classes of strongly correlated transition metal oxides, namely cuprates and manganite perovskites. Manganites generally display complex phase diagrams, including the so-called colossal magnetoresistance effect. READ MORE

  6. 4. Electrochemical Deposition of Nanostructured Metal/Metal-Oxide Coatings

    Author : Jonas Eskhult; Leif Nyholm; Jan-Otto Carlsson; Jay Switzer; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Inorganic chemistry; electrochemical deposition; local pH; Cu2O; Sb2O3; complex; EQCM; reduction; Oorganisk kemi;

    Abstract : Electrochemical deposition finds applications in the electronics- and protective coating industries. The technique is a versatile tool for the synthesis of alloys and thin films. Knowledge of the fundamental aspects of the electrode processes enables the design of nanostructured materials. READ MORE

  7. 5. Inclusions and/or Particles Engineering for Grain Refining Purposes in Ferritic Fe-20mass%Cr alloys

    Author : Jesper Janis; Pär Jönsson; Keiji Nakajima; Lauri Holappa; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Inclusions; Particles; Grain size; High Cr; Ferritic; Grain refining; Solidification; Pinning effect; Stainless steel; Oxides; Nitrides; Metallurgical process engineering; Metallurgisk processteknik;

    Abstract : Compared to more common used austenitic stainless steels, ferritic stainless steels contain very low amounts of the expensive alloying element Ni. In addition, they have good corrosion properties, but are sometimes suffering from poor weldability and bad mechanical properties. READ MORE
