    • The role of grain boundary scattering in reducing the thermal conductivity of polycrystalline XNiSn (X=Hf, Zr, Ti) half-Heusler alloys 

      Schrade, Matthias; Berland, Kristian; Eliassen, Simen Nut Hansen; Guzik, Matylda Natalia; Echevarria-Bonet, Cristina; Sørby, Magnus Helgerud; Jenus, Petra; Hauback, Bjørn; Tofan, Raluca; Gunnæs, Anette Eleonora; Persson, Clas; Løvvik, Ole Martin; Finstad, Terje (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Thermoelectric application of half-Heusler compounds suffers from their fairly high thermal conductivities. Insight into how effective various scattering mechanisms are in reducing the thermal conductivity of fabricated ...
    • Tuning the Casimir-Lifshitz force with gapped metals 

      Boström, Mathias; Rizwan Khan, M.; Gopidi, H. R.; Brevik, Iver Håkon; Li, Y.; Persson, Clas; Malyi, O. I. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      The Casimir-Lifshitz interaction, a long-range force that arises between solids and molecules due to quantum fluctuations in electromagnetic fields, has been widely studied in solid-state physics. The degree of polarization ...
    • van der Waals induced ice growth on partially melted ice nuclei in mist and fog 

      Boström, Mathias; Li, Y.; Brevik, Iver Håkon; Persson, Clas; Carretero-Palacios, S.; Malyi, O. I. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Ice nucleation and formation play pivotal roles across various domains, from environmental science to food engineering. However, the exact ice formation mechanisms remain incompletely understood. This study introduces a ...
