  2. 1. Next to nothing: A study of nanoscientists and their cosmology at a Swedish research laboratory

    Author : Mikael Johansson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; anthropology of science and technology; cosmology; nanoscience; nanotechnology; individualism; technoscape; skills;

    Abstract : This study is based on anthropological fieldwork conducted among nanoscientists at the Department of Microtechnology and Nanonscience, Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden. The aim of the dissertation is to explore cosmological notions among this group of researchers through their conceptualization of nature and self. READ MORE

  4. 2. Tunneling through Nanostructures - Interactions, Interference and Broadening

    Author : Jonas Pedersen; Matematisk fysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Quantum transport; Quantum dots; Coulomb blackade; Nanoscience;

    Abstract : In this thesis, quantum transport through nanostructures is addressed theoretically by considering simplified model systems representing the most important features of quantum dots or molecules. The generic model consists of a central region coupled to noninteracting leads. READ MORE
