1. Microkinetic Modeling of Nanoparticle Catalysis using Density Functional Theory
University dissertation from ; Chalmers tekniska högskola; GothenburgAbstract : Heterogeneous catalysis is vitally important to modern society, and one path towardsrational catalyst design is through atomistic scale understanding. The atomistic scalecan be linked to macroscopic observables by microkinetic models based on first-principlescalculations. READ MORE

5. Structure and chemical ordering in metallic nanoparticles from atomic scale modeling
University dissertation from ; Chalmers tekniska högskola; GothenburgAbstract : In the last decades, a wide range of attractive properties have put metallic nanoparticles in the spotlight. These properties, often related to optical response and catalytic performance, are to a large extent dependent on structure and chemical ordering, that is, the distribution of elements in the nanoparticle.
