2. 1. Nanoparticle plasmonics for solar cell applications

   Author : Viktoria Gusak; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; titanium dioxide.; Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance; mesoporous material; Plasmonic nanoparticle; amorphous hydrogenated Silicon; solar cell; Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell; diffusion;

   Abstract : The energy demand of society increases rapidly, while the main source of today’s energy, the fossil fuels, eventually will be depleted and also poses environmental and climate hazards (though the global warming). Therefore there is a need for alternative, renewable energy sources, and solar photovoltaics (solar cells) will play an important role as one of them. READ MORE

4. 2. Nanoplasmonics for solar cells

   Author : Viktoria Gusak; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; enhanced near-field; adsorption; titanium dioxide; Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance; amorphous hydrogenated Silicon; diffusion; Langmuir kinetics; Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell; plasmonic nanoparticle; mesoporous material; diffusion-front model;

   Abstract : The main source of our energy system, the fossil fuels, will eventually be depleted and also pose environmental and climate hazards. There is thus a need for alternative, renewable energy sources. Solar (photovoltaic) cells will play an important role as one of them. READ MORE

5. 3. Advanced Nanofabrication for Novel Plasmonic Biosensors

   Author : Francesco Mazzotta; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Photo diode; Localized surface plasmon resonance; Bioanalytical sensing; Nanopores.; Solar cell; Nanofabrication; Nanodisks; Nanoplasmonics; Biosensor;

   Abstract : There is an increasing interest in the development of novel biosensors in the foreseeable future.The impact on society of diseases connected to the aging of population, for example infectiousdiseases, cancer and Alzheimer’s disease, has the potential of increasing the running costs ofwelfare over a sustainable threshold already within a few years.

6. 4. Studies of optical properties of lanthanide upconversion nanoparticles for emerging applications

   Author : Qingyun Liu; Hans Ågren; Haichun Liu; Patricia Haro Gonzalez; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Upconversion nanoparticles; solar cells sensitization; near infrared photodetector; multiplex imaging; optical encoding; information technology; bioimaging; rate equation models; Theoretical Chemistry and Biology; Teoretisk kemi och biologi;

   Abstract : YTTERBY, a small village very close to Stockholm where I live, is the place in the world which has lent its name to the largest number of elements in the periodic table, namely four - YTTRIUM, YTTERBIUM, ERBIUM and TERBIUM. Three more lanthanide elements were discovered from the now empty quarry located in this village. READ MORE

7. 5. Properties of Multifunctional Oxide Thin Films Despostied by Ink-jet Printing

   Author : Mei Fang; Lyubov Belova; K. Venkat Rao; Gillian Gehring; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; ink-jet printing; oixde; thin film; ink; suspension; dye sensitized solar cell; functional properties; magnetism; diluted magnetic semiconductors;

   Abstract : Ink-jet printing offers an ideal answer to the emerging trends and demands of depositing at ambient temperatures picoliter droplets of oxide solutions into functional thin films and device components with a high degree of pixel precision. It is a direct single-step mask-free patterning technique that enables multi-layer and 3D patterning. READ MORE
