  2. 11. Computational Materials Design of Medium Mn Steels

    Author : Fei Huyan; Annika Borgenstam; Peter Hedström; Marcel Somers; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : Medium Mn steels (~ 3–10 mass % Mn), a new category of advanced high strength steels, attracted worldwide research interests recent years due to their excellent mechanical properties and low cost. These steels have fine microstructures and contain large fraction of metastable retained austenite (~ 30 volume %), therefore exhibit excellent strength and elongation. READ MORE

  4. 12. Structure-Magnetic Relationships in the Fe-Mn-P-Si System for Energy Applications

    Author : Viktor Höglin; Yvonne Andersson; Per Nordblad; Martin Sahlberg; Mogens Christensen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Magnetocaloric; X-ray powder diffraction; Neutron powder diffraction; Magnetization measurements; Phase diagram; Crystal structure; Magnetic structure; Incommensurate structure; Ferromagnetic; Antiferromagnetic; Fe2P; Fe-Mn-P-Si.; Kemi med inriktning mot oorganisk kemi; Chemistry with specialization in Inorganic Chemistry;

    Abstract : Demands for new, energy-efficient appliances have greatly increased in response to our growing need for a more environmentally friendly society. Magnetic refrigeration is a technique that utilizes the magnetocaloric effect, with possible energy savings of up to 30% compared to commercial gas compression refrigerators. READ MORE

  5. 13. EPR Studies of Ruthenium-Manganese Complexes as Biomimetic Models for Photosystem II - Approaching Artificial Photosynthesis

    Author : Ping Huang; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; WOC; bridging-mode modification; water oxidation; EPR; Ru-Mn complexes; PSII; Artificial Photosynthesis; D donor -S sensitizer -A acceptor molecular module; High Mn valence states.; Biochemistry; Metabolism; Biokemi; metabolism;

    Abstract : In natural photosynthesis, solar energy is converted to chemical energy by photosynthetic reaction centers. In green plants and algae, Photosystem II (PSII) and Photosystem I (PSI) absorb light and utilize the charge separation reactions to convert solar energy to chemical energy. READ MORE

  6. 14. Effects of Protons and Small Alcohols on the Oxygen-Evolving Complex of Photosystem II

    Author : Paulina Geijer; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; EPR; pH; methanol; S3; S2; S0; YZ; Mn cluster; Oxygen-evolving complex; S-states; Biochemistry; Metabolism; Biokemi; metabolism;

    Abstract : Higher plants and algae use oxygenic photosynthesis to convert solar energy to reducing equivalents and chemical energy. The ultimate electron donor to oxygenic photosynthesis is water. Oxidation of water to oxygen occurs in the oxygen-evolving complex (OEC) in Photosystem II (PSII). The OEC is composed of four Mn atoms, Ca2+ and Cl-. READ MORE

  7. 15. Quantum mechanical models of nanomagnetism in transition metal clusters and diluted magnetic semiconductors

    Author : Olof Strandberg; Matematisk fysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; diluted magnetic semiconductors; Mn As; Ga; transition metal clusters; magnetic anisotropy; Nanomagnetism; quantum geometric phases; Chern numbers; effective spin Hamiltonians; dimers;

    Abstract : This dissertation investigates nanomagnetism in small transition metal clusters and the diluted magnetic semiconductor (Ga,Mn)As. We derive quantum mechanical models aimed at a realistic description of the low energy physics in these systems. READ MORE
