  2. 21. Fractal superconducting resonators for the interrogation of two-level systems

    Author : Sebastian Erik de Graaf; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cooper-pair box; decoherence; electron spin resonance; two-level systems; atomic force microscopy; quasiparticles; near-field scanning microwave microscopy; Superconducting resonators; circuit quantum electrodynamics;

    Abstract : In this thesis we use high-Q superconducting thin-film microwave resonators to interact with several types of quantum mechanical two-level systems. Such a resonator is used as the central building block in a cryogenic near-field scanning microwave microscope (NSMM) to reach a completely new regime of NSMM operation. READ MORE

  6. 24. Protein Folding and DNA Origami

    Author : Mark Marvin Seibert; David van der Spoel; Helmut Grubmüller; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; protein folding; Molecular Dynamics simulations; DNA origami; Biophysics; Biofysik; Physics with specialization in Biophysics; Fysik med inriktning mot biofysik;

    Abstract : In this thesis, the folding process of the de novo designed polypeptide chignolin was elucidated through atomic-scale Molecular Dynamics (MD) computer simulations. In a series of long timescale and replica exchange MD simulations, chignolin’s folding and unfolding was observed numerous times and the native state was identified from the computed Gibbs free-energy landscape.

  7. 25. Studies of surfactant behaviour and model surfaces relevant to flotation deinking

    Author : Katarina Theander; Mark Rutland; Krister Holmberg; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Surface and colloid chemistry; Yt- och kolloidkemi;

    Abstract : The objective of this work was to investigate the behaviour of some model surfactants used in the deinking process, namely, sodium oleate and two ethoxylated nonionic surfactants (C12E6 and C14E6) as well as to investigate the suitability of various model substrates for mimicking interactions in technical systems. The influence of the adsorption to the air � water interface has been measured by means of equilibrium and dynamic surface tension measurements, as well as foaming experiments. READ MORE
