• NANOMECHANICAL TESTING OF DIATOMS 

      Bjørnøy, Sindre Hove (Master thesis, 2012)
      A test scheme to test micro-beams from diatom frustule has been developed. The method is capable of testing both complete beams and beams made from the individual layers of the frustule. The biosilica is shown to be a very ...
    • Superhydrophobic Anti-Ice Nanocoatings 

      Knausgård, Kjetil (Master thesis, 2012)
      Atmospheric icing from supercooled droplets in the atmosphere can have catastrophic consequences for a number of man-made structures in regions with cold climate and at high altitude, resulting in accidents with both ...
    • Toward Growth Control of (111)-oriented Perovskite Thin Films: La0.7Sr0.3MnO3/SrTiO3(111) a model study 

      Hallsteinsen, Ingrid Gullikstad (Master thesis, 2012)
      Control of growth and surface morphology of perovskite oxide thin films is essential for future electronic devices based on such materials. Uncommon crystallographic orientations, like (111), are particularly interesting ...
