  2. 6. Epitaxial growth, structure, and thermoelectric properties of CaMn- and V-based oxides

    Author : Erik Ekström; Per Eklund; Biplab Paul; Fredrik Eriksson; Nini Pryds; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Thin film; PVD; Oxides; Epitaxy; XRD;

    Abstract : This thesis is focused on physical vapor deposition, epitaxy, and structural characterization of CaMnO3 and VO2. Environmentally friendly and abundant materials are important for energy savings in applications, e.g., thermoelectrics for waste-heat recycling and thermochromic materials for passive indoor-temperature regulation.

  4. 7. Vulvodynia : Understanding the Role of Pain-related Behavior

    Author : Linnéa Engman; Ida Flink; Steven J. Linton; Johanna Ekdahl; Sophie Bergeron; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Vulvodynia; PVD; Pain-related behavior; Avoidance behavior; Endurance behavior; Pain catastrophizing; Cognitive behavioral therapy;

    Abstract : Over the last decades, psychological mechanisms have been identified as key in the understanding of pain development and maintenance of vulvodynia. Furthermore, psychological treatments in the form of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) have proven helpful for those suffering. READ MORE

  5. 8. Synthesis and Characterization of Amorphous Carbide-based Thin Films

    Author : Matilda Folkenant; Ulf Jansson; Erik Lewin; Paul Mayrhofer; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Amorphous; coating; thin film; nanocomposite; sputter deposition; PVD; XPS; SEM; TEM; electrical properties; mechanical properties;

    Abstract : In this thesis, research on synthesis, structure and characterization of amorphous carbide-based thin films is presented. Crystalline and nanocomposite carbide films can exhibit properties such as high electrical conductivity, high hardness and low friction and wear. READ MORE

  6. 9. Characterization of Ti2AlC coatings deposited with High Velocity Oxy-Fuel and Magnetron Sputtering Techniques

    Author : Jenny Frodelius; Lars Hultman; Jens Emmerlich; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MAX phase; Thermal Spray; PVD; Materials science; Teknisk materialvetenskap;

    Abstract : This Thesis presents two different deposition techniques for the synthesis of Ti2AlC coatings. First, I have fabricated Ti2AlC coatings by high velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) spraying. READ MORE

  7. 10. Design of carbide-based nanocomposite coatings

    Author : Erik Lewin; Ulf Jansson; Jörg Patscheider; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; chemistry; thin film; dc magnetron sputtering; carbide; nanocomposite; PVD; solid solution; Chemistry; Kemi; Inorganic chemistry; Oorganisk kemi; Inorganic Chemistry; Oorganisk kemi;

    Abstract : In this thesis research on synthesis, microstructure and properties of carbide-based coatings is reported. These coatings are electrically conducting, and can be tailored for high hardness, low friction and wear, along with load-adaptive behaviour. Tailoring these properties is achieved by controlling the relative phase content of the material. READ MORE
