   Author : Delphine Misao Lebrun; Lars Österlund; Martyn Pemble; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; photocatalysis; titania; inverse opal; photonic crystal; optics; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot fasta tillståndets fysik; Engineering Science with specialization in Solid State Physics;

   Abstract : Due to an increase of human activity, an increase health risk has emerged from the presence of pollutants in the environment. In the transition to renewable and sustainable life style, treatment of pollutants could support the shifting societies. READ MORE

4. 2. Titania Nanoscale Films and Surfaces : Surface Science Investigation of Structure and Properties

   Author : Davide Ragazzon; Anders Sandell; Anne Borg; Jason F. Weaver; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Photoelectron spectroscopy; PES; XPS; scanning tunneling microscopy; STM; titania; titanium oxide; TiO2; Au 111 ; gold; water; H2O; rutile;

   Abstract : This thesis presents surface science studies, investigating several aspects of titanium dioxide at the atomic scale. The greater part of this work is devoted to the preparation by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of titanium(IV) tetraisopropoxide (TTIP) of ultrathin TiO2 or TiOx films on Au(111). READ MORE

5. 3. Development of syntheses for nanostructured titania and silica
