  2. 1. ZnO Quantum Dots : Size Dependent Optical, Vibrational and Photoelectrochemical Properties

    Author : Jesper Jacobsson; Tomas Edvinsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ZnO; nanoparticels; quantum dots; Chemistry with specialization in Inorganic Chemistry; Kemi med inriktning mot oorganisk kemi;

    Abstract : This thesis is devoted to quantum dots of ZnO in the size regime 2.5-10 nm.The focus is directed towards their size dependent properties with specialemphasis on the optical, vibrational and photocatalytic properties. The particleswere synthesized by hydrolysis in alkaline zinc acetate solution. READ MORE

  4. 2. Nanomechanics – Quantum Size Effects, Contacts, and Triboelectricity

    Author : Martin Olsen; Jonas Örtegren; Håkan Olin; Per Gradin; Peter Glans; Rusen Yang; Mittuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : triboelectricity; adatom; ion; charge; mound; quantum size effect; triboelctric nanogenerator; TENG; wind driven; contact; nanomechanics; fri electron model; nanowire cantilever;

    Abstract : Nanomechanics is different from the mechanics that we experience in everyday life. At the nano-scale, typically defined as 1 to 100 nanometers, some phenomena are of crucial importance, while the same phenomena can be completely neglected on a larger scale. READ MORE

  5. 3. Solitons, vortices and shell structure in ultracold atomic quantum systems

    Author : Gunnar Eriksson; NanoLund: Centre for Nanoscience; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; few-body physics; finite-size effects; solitary waves; quantized vortices; quantum hysteresis; shell structure; dipolar interactions; Fysicumarkivet A:2020:Eriksson;

    Abstract : This dissertation deals with finite-size effects in a few different quantum many-body phenomena in ultracold atomic systems. The finite-sized systems were simulated numerically using both mean-field methods and methods beyond mean-field, e.g. quadratic configuration interaction and exact diagonalization. READ MORE
