  1. 1. Prospects for a Free Electron Laser at the FemtoMAX Beamline

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

    Author : Johan Holmberg; [2024]
    Keywords : Free Electron Lasers; FEL; synchrotron radiation; MAX IV; FemtoMAX; GENESIS 1.3; XFEL; X-rays; soft X-rays; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : A Free Electron Laser (FEL), is a device that generates extremely coherent and brilliant radiation using electrons accelerated to relativistic velocities in a particle accelerator. The process utilises similar equipment to what is used at a synchrotron source like MAX IV, but in addition there is an interaction between the relativistic electron beam and the generated radiation to achieve an exponential growth in radiation intensity.

  3. 2. Phase Change Material : Potential for increased fire resistance in concrete

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : William Toivanen; [2023]
    Keywords : Phase change material; concrete; fire resistance; integration into building materials; latent heat; melting;

    Abstract : The European commission has in the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive from 2010 decided that its member states were required to ensure that all new buildings by the end of 2020 were nearly zero-energy buildings. These buildings require small amounts of energy compared to its performance in example by keeping a pleasant indoor climate. READ MORE

  4. 3. Towards Affordable Sodium-Ion Batteries : Mechanochemical Synthesis and Electrochemical Assessment of Iron-Based Fluorophosphate Cathode Material

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Ratna Juwita; [2023]
    Keywords : Sodium-ion batteries; electrical energy storage EES ; iron oxide; positive electrode; material characterization; electrochemical; discharge capacity.; Natriumjonbatterier; elektrisk energilagring EES ; järnoxid; positiv elektrod; materialkarakterisering; elektrokemisk; urladdningskapacitet;

    Abstract : An urgent transformation from fossil fuels to cleaner energy sources to combat climate change has led to the utilization of renewable energies like solar, wind, and tidal power. However, the intermittency of these sources hinders their wider implementation. To address this, large-scale electrical energy storage (EES) systems are needed. READ MORE

  5. 4. Study of the effects of the operating conditions of a decanter centrifuge on a pilot-scale protein recovery setup from cold-pressed rapeseed press cake

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Livsmedelsteknik och nutrition (master)

    Author : Sergio de La Cruz Padilla; [2023]
    Keywords : By-product; Rapeseed press cake; protein; Food engineering; Agriculture and Food Sciences; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : There is significant evidence to suggest that diets that include high levels of meat consumption have negative effects on both the environment and human health. As a result, efforts are being made to identify and characterize more plant-based proteins, such as those found in rapeseed. READ MORE

  6. 5. Generation of attosecond X-ray pulses in free-electron lasers using electron energy modulation and undulator tapering

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/FREIA

    Author : Karl-Fredrik Boholm Kylesten; [2023]
    Keywords : attosecond; free-electron laser; XFEL; self-amplified spontaneous emission; SASE; tapering; energy modulation;

    Abstract : Free-electron lasers (FELs) are among the world's most intense artificial artificial sources of coherent light and are tunable to various wavelengths, including the X-ray spectrum. X-ray FELs (XFELs) are extremely useful for diffraction experiments to study molecules, materials, and quantum systems. READ MORE
