  1. 1. 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

  3. 2. Avliva eller låta leva? : en etisk diskussion om att väga sällskapsdjurs livskvalité och lidande

  4. 3. Combustion Simulations with reduced mechanisms using hybrid optimization

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

    Author : Marius Burman Ingeberg; [2018]
    Keywords : Optimization; Reduced mechanism; Hybrid optimization; simulated annealing; Genetic algorithm; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : In order to simulate complex combustion systems, the kinetic mechanisms describing the chemical processes have to be reduced. To minimize the error introduced by the reduction, coefficients of the reaction rates included in the mechanisms can be adjusted in ways so that simulations using the reduced mechanism behave like simulations that use detailed mechanisms.

  5. 4. Road modelling using LiDAR-data

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

    Author : Tove Jungenfelt; Elias Sevelin; [2018]
    Keywords : Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : The purpose of our master thesis is to locate and find a mathematical model of the road surface from data obtained using LiDAR measure- ments. A LiDAR is an optical instrument that generates a point cloud of its surroundings by measuring distance and intensity. READ MORE

  6. 5. Dorsal visual cues in German wasp navigation

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i biologi

    Author : Denis Vaduva; [2015]
    Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : The German wasp Vespula germanica is found in the Palaeartic region of the globe. Outside this area, it is highly invasive species. It has an omnivorous diet and is able to hunt other insects and scavenge for food from both natural and anthropogenic sources. READ MORE
