  2. 11. Quantum transport and spin effects in lateral semiconductor nanostructures and graphene

    Author : Martin Evaldsson; Igor Zozoulenko; Vidar Gudmundsson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Electronic transport; Spin related phenomena; Quantum dots; Quantum wires; Two-dimensional electron gas; 2DEG; Graphene; Computational physics; Beräkningsfysik; Physics; Fysik;

    Abstract : This thesis studies electron spin phenomena in lateral semi-conductor quantum dots/anti-dots and electron conductance in graphene nanoribbons by numerical modelling. In paper I we have investigated spin-dependent transport through open quantum dots, i.e., dots strongly coupled to their leads, within the Hubbard model. READ MORE

  4. 12. First Principles Studies on Chemical and Electronic Structures of Adsorbates

    Author : Wenhua Zhang; Yi Luo; Gianfranco Pacchioni; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Solid state chemistry; Fasta tillståndets kemi; Computational physics; Beräkningsfysik; Surfaces and interfaces; Ytor och mellanytor;

    Abstract : In this thesis, we focus on theoretical study of adsorbates on metal and oxide surfaces that are important for surface chemistry and catalysis. Based on first principles calculations, the adsorption ofCO, NO, NO2, C4H6S2, C22H27SH and other molecules or radicals on nobel metal surfaces (gold and silver) are investigated. READ MORE

  5. 13. Development of New Monte Carlo Methods in Reactor Physics : Criticality, Non-Linear Steady-State and Burnup Problems

    Author : Jan Dufek; Jan Wallenius; Waclaw Gudowski; Cheikh Diop; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Monte Carlo; reactor physics; fission source; inactive cycles; convergence; burnup; steady-state; criticality; eigenvalue; Nuclear physics; Kärnfysik;

    Abstract : The Monte Carlo method is, practically, the only approach capable of giving detail insight into complex neutron transport problems. In reactor physics, the method has been used mainly for determining the keff in criticality calculations. READ MORE

  6. 14. Theoretical and computational advances in small-angle x-ray scattering tensor tomography

    Author : Leonard Nielsen; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; tensor tomography; reciprocal space map; small-angle scattering;

    Abstract : The relationships between microscopic and macroscopic structures is a central topic of materials physics. Small-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) is a powerful experimental technique for probing and mapping variations in electron density, given by the reciprocal space map, down to the nanometer scale in two dimensions.

  7. 15. Hydrogen Bonding in Liquid Alcohols

    Author : Per Sillrén; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Hydrogen Bonded Liquids; Physics of liquids; Diffraction; Monte Carlo Simulation; Alcohols; Neutron Scattering; EPSR;

    Abstract : Hydrogen bonded (H-bonded) materials, such as water, alcohols, sugars, and even DNA, are extremely important for biology, as well as chemical industry. Alcohols are used as solvents in paints, in perfumes, as cleaners, anti-freezers, or as an alternative to petrol in combustion engines. READ MORE
