1. 1. Exploring the effects of pressure on the magnetic properties of quasi-low dimensional quantum magnets via thermodynamic measurements

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Synkrotronljusfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

   Author : Emelie Zhu; [2024]
   Keywords : Physics and Astronomy; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Four model solid state compounds were used to experimentally investigate the effects of pressure on the interactions in one- and two-dimensional Heisenberg magnetic models. BaCuSi2O6, BaCu2V2O8, SrCuO2 and CuGeO3 were successfully synthesized via solid-state reactions and characterized via x-ray diffraction. READ MORE

3. 2. Structural analysis of HZO thin film and electrode using X-ray diffraction

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Synkrotronljusfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

   Author : Elliot Winsnes; [2024]
   Keywords : HZO; hafnia; hafnium dioxide; zirconium dioxide; ferroelectricity; ferroelectric; synchrotron radiation; X-ray diffraction; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : Since its discovery in 2011, the ferroelectricity of thin films based on HfO2 has been studied intensively. In particular, thin films with a 1:1 ratio of HfO2 and ZrO2 (HZO) has been of great interest. The ferroelectricity arises from a non-centrosymmetric orthorhombic (o) phase of HZO whose prevalence is dependent on the processing conditions. READ MORE

4. 3. Examining the Effects of Economic Crises on Firm Leverage: Insights from Financial Institutions and Information Technology Companies Listed on the Swedish Stock Markets

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Företagsekonomiska institutionen

   Author : Erik Nordlund; Vlad David; [2023-09-01]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Numerous studies have examined factors influencing a company's capital structure, but most focus on non-financial firms and neglect the distinct characteristics of financial institutions. Furthermore, little research exists on the Swedish financial and information technology markets despite their special market conditions, important global position and unique capital structures of their belonging companies.

5. 4. How do IPOs and SPACs differ in terms of post-listing performance, and how do insider and institutional ownership affect these differences?

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Graduate School

   Author : Markus Henriksson; Theodor Hansson; [2023-07-03]
   Keywords : SPACs; Special Purpose Acquisition Company; IPOs; Initial Public Offering; Ownership Structure; Abnormal Returns;

   Abstract : Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) and Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (SPACs) are the two most prevalent alternatives for firms seeking to list on the stock exchange, which we examine in this study. We study numerous parameters impacting the abnormal returns of IPOs and SPACs and, compare their performance in the short-term and long-term using regressions and current literature to explain the discrepancies.

6. 5. Stability improvement to a ruthenium catalyst for partial oxidation of methane

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

   Author : Melker Axelsson; [2023]
   Keywords : catalysis; reaction engineering; kinetics; partial oxidation; chemical engineering; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Catalytic partial oxidation of methane (CPOM) is an energy-efficient alternative to steam reforming, the currently prevailing method for energy production from natural gas. Hulteberg Chemistry & Engineering AB has developed a catalyst for the partial oxidation of methane into syngas, for use in solid oxide fuel cells. READ MORE
