  1. 1. Transmission Electron Microscopy of Graphene and Hydrated Biomaterial Nanostructures : Novel Techniques and Analysis

    Author : Sultan Akhtar; Klaus Leifer; Hilborn Jöns; Stefano Rubino; Marco Cantoni; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Graphene flakes; magnetic beads DNA coils; hydrated biomaterials; transmission electron microscopy; focused ion beam scanning electron microscopy; bright-field dark-field imaging; high resolution imaging; electron diffraction and cryogenic temperatures; Materialvetenskap; Materials Science;

    Abstract : Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) on light element materials and soft matters is problematic due to electron irradiation damage and low contrast. In this doctoral thesis techniques were developed to address some of those issues and successfully characterize these materials at high resolution. READ MORE

  2. 2. Towards atomically resolved magnetic measurements in the transmission electron microscope : A study of structure and magnetic moments in thin films

  4. 4. Functionalized Graphene as Superlattice and Gas Sensor

    Author : Tianbo Duan; Klaus Leifer; Andrey Turchanin; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; graphene; functionalization; gas sensor; superlattice;

    Abstract : Graphene, an atomic-thin carbon sheet with carbon atoms tightly packed honeycomb-like lattice, has attracted enormous interest due to its unique chemical and physical properties. However, the intrinsic zero bandgap characteristic of graphene has so far prevented graphene from building effective electronic and optoelectronic devices. READ MORE

  5. 5. Characterization of a silica based nano/mesoporous material for adsorption application : A study of the relation between synthesis, structure and adsorption efficiency

    Author : Farnaz Ghajeri; Klaus Leifer; Anders Larsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : During last years the interest in large scale production of nano/mesoporous materials has increased in the industry due to benefits that these materials can provide. Silica based nanomaterials are examples of such materials with large specific surface area and pore volume where the porous structure is the key for the resulting properties leading to efficiency in e.
