  2. 1. Structure and spectroscopy of bio- and nano-materials from first-principles simulations

    Author : Weijie Hua; Yi LUO; Mauro Stener; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; soft x-ray spectroscopy; bio- and nano-materials; first-principles simulation; host-guest interaction; generalized energy-based fragmentation; Quantum chemistry; Kvantkemi; Spectroscopy; Spektroskopi; SRA - Molecular Bioscience; SRA - Molekylär biovetenskap;

    Abstract : This thesis is devoted to first-principles simulations of bio- and nano-materials,focusing on various soft x-ray spectra, ground-state energies and structures of isolated largemolecules, bulk materials, and small molecules in ambient solutions. K-edge near-edge x-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectra, x-ray emission spectra, andresonant inelastic x-ray scattering spectra of DNA duplexes have been studied by means oftheoretical calculations at the density functional theory level.

  4. 2. (Nano)materials for electrochemical sensing applications in different fields

    Author : Nasrin Razmi; Omer Nur; Magnus Willander; Frank Bier; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Electrochemical bio sensors; Nanomaterials; AuNSs; α-Fe2O3 ZnO nanocomposite; RuO2-Nf pH electrodes; MIP technology;

    Abstract : Health care and the medical industry, environmental monitoring and food sector are just a few examples of human’s major concerns. Design and analytical applications of (bio)sensors and sensing (nano)materials in these fields which have drawn tremendous attention by scientific community, require multidisciplinary knowledge in materials, transducers, and measurement methodologies.

  5. 3. Light manipulation in micro and nano photonic materials and structures

    Author : Zhihui Chen; Ying Fu; E. L. Ivchenko; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Photonic crystal; quantum dot; light-matter interaction;

    Abstract : Light manipulation is an important method to enhance the light-matter interactions in micro and nano photonic materials and structures by generating usefulelectric field components and increasing time and pathways of light propagationthrough the micro and nano materials and structures. For example, quantum wellinfrared photodetector (QWIP) cannot absorb normal incident radiation so thatthe generation of an electric field component which is parallel to the original incident direction is a necessity for the function of QWIP.
