  1. 16. Thermoelectric measurements on InAs nanowires with a ratchet-barrier

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Fasta tillståndets fysik

    Author : Hanna Lundström; [2022]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Efficient extraction of thermal energy from electrons at the micro- and nanoscale is a long-standing scientific goal that could enable novel types of heat engines, heat management, and solar cell applications. Semiconductor nanowires are a promising system for investigating such devices for several reasons, such as their thermoelectric properties, and the potential to be grown in heterostructures with high flexibility.

  3. 17. Time-resolved x-ray diffraction study of longitudinal optical phonons in zincblende semiconductors

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

    Author : Lassi Linnala; [2022]
    Keywords : femtosecond THz radiation; ultrafast x-ray diffraction; pump-probe; longitudinal optical phonons; zincblende semiconductors; anharmonic decay; density functional perturbation theory; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Anharmonic decay of longitudinal optical (LO) phonons in zincblende semiconductors is not at present well characterized due to the polar and many-body nature of the problem. Femtosecond THz radiation offers a novel route to this study, as the interaction of this radiation is directly with the phonon lattice and these THz excited phonons do not have enough energy to excite electrons over the band gap.

  4. 18. Modelling of Fluid Flow and Contaminant Transport in Fractured Rock : Case Study

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Ebba Pegestam; [2022]
    Keywords : Contaminant transport; Discrete Fracture Network; Geology; Geohydrology; Groundwater transport; Fracture; Drinking water; Contamination; Föroreningar; flödestransport; spricknätverk; geologi; geohydrologi; grundvattentransport; sprickor; dricksvatten;

    Abstract : Drinking water contamination is a big concern in Sweden and is commonly traced back to being waste from former manufacturing industrial sites. Pollutants in the topsoil can be remediated by several techniques, such as decontamination or excavation but the toxins already enclosed in the bedrock cannot be treated the same and is harder to track possible contaminant pathways.

  5. 19. What Does it Take to Forgive? : A study about what impacts brand forgiveness after a transgression

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Företagsekonomiska institutionen

    Author : William Lindquist; Erik Singer; [2022]
    Keywords : Brand image; Brand forgiveness; Transgression; Generational cohort theory; Generation X; Generation Z; Social media; Consumption behavior; Negative word-of-mouth;

    Abstract : No one is perfect, and that includes the brands that we use. Therefore, there will inevitably come a time in a brand’s existence where a transgression occurs that will harm their relationships with its customers. The decision to forgive a brand after a transgression is a complex and individual process that evolves over time. READ MORE

  6. 20. Multi-spectral X-ray imaging with a laser-plasma accelerator

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

    Author : Andrea Angella; [2022]
    Keywords : Multi-spectral imaging; single-photon counting; X-ray absorption spectroscopy; XAS; LWFA; laser-wakefield acceleration; K-edge; imaging; metal-detection algorithm; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : This master thesis focuses on the creation of an algorithm to perform multispectral imaging of a metallic target using X-rays. The generation of an ultrashort high-power low-divergent X-ray beam is performed by means of a Ti:Sapphire laser driven wake-field plasma accelerator. READ MORE
