  2. 1. NbN and NbTiN Hot Electron Bolometer THz Mixers

    Author : Pourya Khosropanah; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; receiver noise; hot electron bolometer; superconducting detector; spiral antenna; NbTiN; submillimeter mixer; THz mixer; HEB; FTS; NbN; quasioptical receiver; heterodyne receiver; double slot antenna; twin slot antenna; Fourier Transform Spectrometer;

    Abstract : The thesis reports the development of Hot Electron Bolometer (HEB) mixers for radio astronomy heterodyne receivers in THz frequency range. Part of this work is the fabrication of HEB devices, which are based on NbN or NbTiN superconducting thin films (≤5 nm). They are integrated with wideband spiral or double-slot planar antennas.

  4. 2. Reactivity of Metal Clusters with Diatomic Molecules

    Author : Lotta Holmgren; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Nbn; cluster; reactivity; Rhn; NO; D2; CO; N2; laser vaporization; Wn; Nin; photoionization; time-of-flight mass spectrometer; ionization potential; Cun; O2; Vn;

    Abstract : The reactivity of transition-metal clusters, in the approximate size range 10-60 atoms, with diatomic molecules has been investigated. A pulsed beam of neutral clusters is produced by a laser-vaporization source and passed through a low-pressure reaction cell containing the reactive gas. READ MORE

  7. 5. Metal Cluster Reactivity. Adsorption of small molecules in biomolecular collisions

    Author : Mats Andersson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; O2; CO; ionization potential; Con; Fen; NO; sticking probability; laser ionization; D2; Wn; Cun; Rhn; reaction probability; cluster; jellium model; Nbn; metal cluster reactivity; N2; time-of-flight mass spectrometry; Nin;

    Abstract : Metal clusters can be characterized as the tiniest possible metal particles, containing only an easily counted number of atoms. In this work, reactions between metal clusters and diatomic molecules have been investigated. We have constructed an experimental set-up to produce and detect clusters, and to investigate their chemical reactivity. READ MORE
