2. 1. Effects of surface plasmons in subwavelength metallic structures

   Author : Srinivasan Iyer; Ari T. Friberg; N. Asger Mortensen; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; suface plasmons; extraordinary transmission; metamaterials; shnets; split-ring resonators; plasmon-induced EIT; optical antennas; plasmonics;

   Abstract : The study of optical phenomena related to the strong electromagnetic response of noble metals (silver (Ag) and gold (Au) being most popular) over the last couple of decades has led to the emergence of a fast growing research area called plasmonics named after 'surface plasmons' which are electron density waves that propagate along the interface of a metal and a dielectric medium. Surface plasmons are formed by the coupling of light to the electrons on the metal surface subject to the fulfillment of certain physical conditions and they are bound to the metal surface.

4. 2. Pathogen colonisation, transmission and infection control measures in burn patients

   Author : Marie Lindblad; Fredrik Huss; Jyrki Vuola; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Whole-genome sequencing; Burn injury; Acinetobacter baumannii outbreak; infection control prevention; UVC decontamination;

   Abstract : Burn patients are susceptible to infections due to impaired natural defences when the epidermal barrier is damaged. Moreover, the trauma affects the patient's immune system through local and systemic inflammatory reactions. Adding to that, the need for intensive care treatment with multiple surgical interventions increases the risk of infection. READ MORE

5. 3. Mechanical behaviour of carbon nanostructures

   Author : Henrik Jackman; Krister Svensson; Pavel Krakhmalev; Eleanor E. B. Campbell; Karlstads universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; carbon nanotubes; CNT; multiwalled carbon nanotubes; MWCNT; rippling; buckling; mechanical properties; transmission electron microscopy; TEM; scanning electron microscopy; SEM; atomic force microscopy; AFM; Young’s modulus; in situ TEM; in situ SEM; Physics; Fysik;

   Abstract : AbstractCarbon nanotubes (CNTs) have extraordinary mechanical and electrical properties. Together with their small dimensions and low density, they are attractive candidates for building blocks in future nanoelectromechanical systems and for many other applications. READ MORE

6. 4. The influence of crystallinity on the properties of carbon nanotubes

   Author : Mattias Flygare; Krister Svensson; Thomas Wågberg; Karlstads universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; carbon nanotubes; crystallinity; electrical conductivity; transmission electron microscopy; Physics; Fysik;

   Abstract : Carbon nanotubes have been advertised as a material with quite extraordinary properties, both mechanically and electrically. The truth is that carbon nanotubes is not one material, but several different. READ MORE

7. 5. Opening New Radio Windows and Bending Twisted Beams

   Author : Erik Nordblad; Thomas B. Leyser; Kristof Stasiewicz; Vladimir Pavlenko; Paul A. Bernhardt; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Orbital angular momentum; Hall effect; Nonparaxial beam; Geometrical optics; High frequency radio waves; Ray tracing; Magnetic zenith effect; Ionospheric irregularities; Wave propagation; Fysik med inriktning mot rymd- och plasmafysik; Physics with specialization in Space and Plasma Physics;

   Abstract : In ground based high frequency (HF) radio pumping experiments, absorption of ordinary (O) mode pump waves energises the ionospheric plasma, producing optical emissions and other effects. Pump-induced or natural kilometre-scale field-aligned density depletions are believed to play a role in self-focussing phenomena such as the magnetic zenith (MZ) effect, i. READ MORE
