1. Electromechanical Interactions in Shuttle Systems and Carbon Nanotube Relays
Abstract : In this thesis we theoretically investigate two kinds of nanoscale systems where there is a strong electromechanical coupling, i.e. an intricate relation between the Coulomb forces that can appear in these systems and the displacements of parts of the systems that they cause. READ MORE

2. Effects of Coherence and Correlations on Transport through Nanostructures
Abstract : This dissertation deals with the effects of coherence and correlations on transport through nanostructures. Simulations are mainly performed using the second order von Neumann approach, a method capable of dealing with these effects in the presence of higher order tunneling. READ MORE

3. Carbon-nanotube-based nanoelectromechanics
Abstract : Carbon nanotubes, a novel material with extraordinary mechanical and electrical properties, are good candidates for designing nanoelectromechanical systems. The typical length scale of these systems is nanometers and an important characteristic is a coupling between electrical and mechanical degrees of freedom. READ MORE
