  1. 6. Opposing ‘green’ extractivism: Voices of resistance in the case of the Gállok iron mine, Sápmi

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för kulturgeografi och ekonomisk geografi; Lunds universitet/Humanekologi

    Author : Elena Maria Gnant; [2022]
    Keywords : political ecology; ’green’ extractivism; energy transition; frontier racism; colonial capitalism; Sámi resistance; just transition; Sápmi; Gállok; Kallak; Jåhkåmåhkke; Jokkmokk; Social Sciences;

    Abstract : Embedded in a history of global colonial capitalism and the system’s crisis ridden tendencies and fixes for capital accumulation, extractivism increases globally. The intensive exploitation of resources is increasingly framed as compatible with and necessary to climate change mitigation for the possibility of a low-carbon future, opening new extractive frontiers through a path of ‘green’ extractivism (GE).

  3. 7. Heterogeneous catalytic reactions studied with transient gas supply and event-averaged ambient pressure x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/NanoLund: Centre for Nanoscience

    Author : Qianhui Liu; [2022]
    Keywords : Ambient pressure x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy; Event-averaging; Pd 100 surface structure oscillation; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : CO oxidation over Pd(100) is studied with ambient pressure x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (APXPS). Cyclic gas composition pulsing of the CO:O2 ratio, combined with a new method using software based event-averaging by image recognition over many pulses, is used to improve the signal-to-noise ratio substantially.

  6. 10. Doping Layers in Quantum Cascade Lasers: A study in doping density, position and migration effects

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk fysik

    Author : Josefin Reftlér; [2022]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Quantum Cascade Lasers (QCLs) consist of several semiconductor materi- als sandwiched together. The QCL achieves stimulated emission in the mid-IR (m-IR) to the THz region of the electromagnetic spectrum by inter-subband transitions. These parts of the electromagnetic spectrum are hard to lase in with conventional means. READ MORE
