  2. 1. Directly exposed electron-detectors for electron energy-loss spectroscopy

    Author : Claes Orsholm; Tomas Lindblad; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physics; fysik;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates the possibilities of using planar silicon-devices such as the photodiode array and the charge-coupled device (CCD) as directly exposed electron-detectors for electron energy-loss spectroscopy. The aim is to achieve an acceptable performance at low signal intensities, enabling single electron detection. READ MORE

  4. 2. Pharmaceutical binders and their function in directly compressed tablets : Mechanistic studies on the effect of dry binders on mechanical strength, pore structure and disintegration of tablets
