Summary of thesis: In the results of the work presented in this thesis it has been shown theoretically and demonstrated experimentally that lateral chromatic aberration in hard x-ray transmission microscopy can be ...

Waste from mining operations includes mine tailings, a slurry of fine-grained mineral particles and processing chemicals that remains after the desired compounds have been extracted from the ore. In some cases, the method ...

We propose an implementation of a singlet-only spin qubit in a GaAs-based triple quantum dot with a (1, 4, 1) charge occupation. In the central multielectron dot, the interplay between Coulomb interaction and an out-of-plane ...

Photocathodes are key elements in high-brightness electron sources and ubiquitous in the operation of large-scale accelerators, although their operation is often limited by their quantum efficiency and lifetime. Here, we ...

Reverse saturable absorbers have shown great potential to attenuate laser radiation. Good candidate molecules and various particles have successfully been incorporated into different glass matrices, enabling the creation ...

An increasingly important part of food technology is nanotechnology. Inorganic nanoparticles are added directly or indirectly to food in order to create new tastes, appetizing looks or to preserve it longer. Exposure to ...

Neuroinflammation is a process common to several brain pathologies. Despites its medical relevance, it still remains poorly understood; there is therefore a need to develop new in vivo preclinical imaging strategies to ...

Measurements of hydroxyl (OH*) airglow intensity are a straightforward and cost-efficient method which allows the derivation of information about the climate and dynamics of the upper mesosphere/lower thermosphere (UMLT) ...

Hyperbolic relaxation systems is an active field of research, with a largenumber of applications in physical modeling. Examples include modelsfor traffic flow, kinetic theory and fluid mechanics. This master s thesis is ...
