In order to guarantee the long-term efficiency of hydrophobic materials in real-world situations, it is necessary that their surfaces are highly resistant to scratching, fouling and misting. Furthermore, for the specific ...

We investigate spin transport by thermally excited spin waves in an antiferromagnetic insulator. Starting from a stochastic Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert phenomenology, we obtain the out-of-equilibrium spin-wave properties. In ...

Hole gases in planar germanium can have high mobilities in combination with strong spin-orbit interaction and electrically tunable g factors, and are therefore emerging as a promising platform for creating hybrid ...

In this master?s thesis, ensemble averaged and k-dependent Augerrecombination processes are studied using Monte Carlo integration. Effectsof introducing kp-overlap integrals, as opposed to constant overlap integrals, ...

This thesis presents a new type of dynamical entropy, defined by the movement of particles beetween the nodes in a network. The entropy is intended to have similar properties as the well-known thermodynamic entropy. ...

I denne masteroppgaven har vi studert hvordan et virus kan spre seg i en befolkning med mennesker. Vi har gjort dette ved å lage en numerisk modell hvor vi kan teste hvordan ulike tiltak og restriksjoner påviker antall ...

Chemical solution deposition (CSD) is a versatile method to fabricate oxide films. Here, the structure and local variations in the chemical composition of BaTiO3 (BTO) films prepared by CSD on (100), (110), and (111) SrTiO3 ...

Epitaxially grown ternary III-arsenide-antimonide (III-As–Sb) nanowires (NWs) are increasingly attracting attention due to their feasibility as a platform for the integration of largely lattice-mismatched antimonide-based ...

In this study, we use the Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model, forced by present-day atmospheric composition and coupled to a Slab Ocean Model, to simulate the state of the climate under grand solar minimum forcing ...
