1. MAX phase thin films : unique multifunctional ceramics with the elements Ti, Si, Ge, Sn, and C
Abstract : Mn+1AXn phases are ternary carbides or nitrides (X) consisting of an early transition metal (M), and (A)- group element (group III-V). They combine ceramic and metallic properties with high oxidation and thermal shock resistance as well as low resistivity. READ MORE

2. Functional Metallic Glasses
Abstract : For decades, Metallic Glass, with its isotropic featureless structure while exhibiting outstanding mechanical properties was possible only at a high rate of quenching and with at least one dimension in the submicron regime. This limitation was overcome with the discovery of Bulk Metallic glasses, BMGs, containing three or more elements following the additional two empirical rules of optimum geometric size differences and negative energy of mixing among the constituent elements.

3. Thin metal films on weakly-interacting substrates : Nanoscale growth dynamics, stress generation, and morphology manipulation
Abstract : Vapor-based growth of thin metal films with controlled morphology on weakly-interacting substrates (WIS), including oxides and van der Waals materials, is essential for the fabrication of multifunctional metal contacts in a wide array of optoelectronic devices. Achieving this entails a great challenge, since weak film/substrate interactions yield a pronounced and uncontrolled 3D morphology. READ MORE

4. Cantor-Alloy-Based Multicomponent Nitride Thin Films
Abstract : In this Thesis, I have investigated multicomponent alloy based thin films synthesized by magnetron sputtering. The studies in the thesis are centered around the phase diagram of the CrFeCoNi nitrogen containing system. READ MORE

5. Modelling and simulation of plastic deformation on small scales : interface conditions and size effects of thin films
Abstract : Contrary to elastic deformation, plastic deformation of crystalline materials, such as metals, is size-dependent. Most commonly, this phenomenon is present but unnoticed, such as the effect of microstructural length scales. READ MORE
