1. AlN Thin Film Electroacoustic Devices
Abstract : Recently, the enormous growth in personal communications systems (PCS), satellite communication and various other forms of wireless data communication has made analogue frequency control a key issue as the operation frequency increases to the low/medium GHz range. Surface acoustic wave (SAW) and bulk acoustic wave (BAW) electroacoustic devices are widely used today in a variety of applications both in consumer electronics as well as in specialized scientific and military equipment where frequency control is required.

2. Natural resources and sustainable energy : Growth rates and resource flows for low-carbon systems
Abstract : Large-scale deployment of low-carbon energy technologies is important for counteracting anthropogenic climate change and achieving universal energy access. This thesis explores potential growth rates of technologies necessary to reach a more sustainable global energy system, the material and energy flows required to commission these technologies, and potential future availability of the required resources.

4. Microstructure aspects of transition metal carbide thin films
Abstract : Transition metal carbides are important refractory materials used in many thin film applications. In this thesis, several transition metal carbides have been deposited using different chemical vapour deposition (CVD) and evaporation processes. In particular, the phase composition and microstructure of these carbide films have been studied. READ MORE

5. Mechanistic Modeling of Annular Flows at Near-Dryout Conditions
Abstract : This work aims at advancing the modeling methodology for near-dryout annular flows using two different computational fluid dynamics (CFD) approaches. One is termed as the transported film approach, where the film flow is separately modeled by a simplified liquid film model and then coupled with the gas core simulation using various closures.
