1. Engineering lives : Technology, time and space in a male-centred world
Abstract : This thesis deals with engineers. It is an ethnographic study of the life organisation for seventeen engineers with Master's degrees working at two different workplaces, Automobile Inc. and Microchips Inc. The study is based on participant observation and life-history interviews. READ MORE

2. Mechanical and thermal stability of hard nitride coatings
Abstract : Hard coating’s thermal stability is essential due to the high temperature environment of high-speed cutting applications, while the phase and microstructure evolution induced by exposing the coating to high temperature affects the mechanical properties. In this thesis, the mechanical stability of arc-evaporated, hard, transition metal nitride coatings annealed at high temperature is analyzed and related to the phase and microstructure evolution.

3. Micro-photoluminescence and micro-Raman spectroscopy of novel semiconductor nanostructures
Abstract : Low-dimensional semiconductor structures, such as one-dimensional nanowires (NWs) and zerodimensional quantum dots (QDs), are materials with novel fundamental physical properties and a great potential for a wide range of nanoscale device applications. Here, especially promising are direct bandgap II-VI and III-V compounds and related alloys with a broad selection of compositions and band structures. READ MORE

4. Polymer brush functionalised nanopore sensors
Abstract : Single-molecule studies on proteins could reveal a lot of information about their conformational dynamics, and processes such as misfolding and aggregation. This knowledge is valuable in providing a deeper understanding of molecular biology, and for understanding the link between proteins and various diseases. READ MORE

5. Reshaping the phase diagram of YBa2Cu3O7-δ through strain in ultrathin films and nanowires
Abstract : This thesis aims at adding important pieces to the puzzle of understanding the physics of the High critical Temperature Superconductor (HTS) cuprates, where despite over 30 years of intense research many open questions remain. The HTS cuprates are characterized by an incredibly complex phase diagram with multiple intertwined local orders, such as charge density waves (CDW). READ MORE
