  1. 11. Micro-photoluminescence and micro-Raman spectroscopy of novel semiconductor nanostructures

    Author : Stanislav Filippov; Irina Buyanova; Weimin Chen; M. Godlewski; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : Low-dimensional semiconductor structures, such as one-dimensional nanowires (NWs) and zerodimensional quantum dots (QDs), are materials with novel fundamental physical properties and a great potential for a wide range of nanoscale device applications. Here, especially promising are direct bandgap II-VI and III-V compounds and related alloys with a broad selection of compositions and band structures. READ MORE

  2. 12. My Home is my Castle : Residential Well being and Perceived Safety in Different Types of Housing Areas in Sweden

    Author : Agneta Kullberg; Kent Lindqvist; Toomas Timpka; Urban Janlert; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Public health science; Folkhälsovetenskap;

    Abstract : Background: Safety in the housing environment is a basic human need and may be a prerequisite for health but studies from the perspective of the residents are limited in the literature. Although historically public health research has recognized the housing environment as an important determinant of health, there is a need for more research on how housing conditions influence residential well-being.

  3. 13. Modeling disturbances of cholinergic systems : possible relevance for schizophrenia

    Author : Anna Mattsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Cholinergic; nucleus basalis; 192 IgG-saporin; schizophrenia; locomotor activity; dopamine; microdialysis; memory; MRI;

    Abstract : Schizophrenia is a severe, chronic mental disorder. The etiology remains unknown but alterations in cholinergic neurotransmission is one, among other, disturbances in the brain that have been implicated in schizophrenia. READ MORE

  4. 14. Topological Phase Transitions in Magnetic Nanostructures of Dirac Materials

    Author : Nezhat Pournaghavi; Carlo M. Canali; Michael Flatté; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Topological insulators; Magnetic materials; Quantum anomalous Hall effect; Topological magneto electric effect; Dirac semimetals; Weyl semimetals; Condensed Matter Physics; Kondenserade materians fysik;

    Abstract : Over the past two decades, the discovery of topological Dirac materials, such as topological insulators and semimetals, has defined a new paradigm in condensed matter physics and established new platforms for realizing spin electronic devices and quantum computing. The novel quantum properties of these materials, which are mainly due to the presence of strong spin-orbit coupling, are invariant under topological transformations, making them more resilient to structural disorder, electromagnetic and thermal fluctuations in comparison to the conventional silicon-based materials.

  5. 15. Describing Interstitials in Close-packed Lattices: First-principles Study

    Author : Noura Al-Zoubi; Levente Vitos; Se Kyun Kwon; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Describing interstitial atoms in intermetallics or simple mono-atomic close-packed metals is a straightforward procedure in common full-potential calculations. One establishes a sufficiently large supercell, introduces the interstitial impurity and performs the electronic structure and total energy calculation. READ MORE
