  1. 1. Petrography and Mineral Chemistry of the Sälskär Breccia (Alnö Alkaline Complex, Central Sweden)

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Vincent Gustafsson; [2022]
    Keywords : Alnö alkaline complex; diatreme; melilitite; pelletal lapilli; volcanic breccia; Alnö alkalina område; diatrem; melilitit; pelletal lapilli; vulkanisk breccia;

    Abstract : Primitive magmas can provide important details about the mantle from which they are derived. In this thesis, petrographic observations and new mineral chemistry analyses of the Sälskär breccia from the Alnö alkaline complex, central Sweden, are reported. READ MORE

  3. 2. Lejarfjället Garnet(?) Peridotite – Origin and Petrological Characterization of Symplectitic Aggregates in Ultramafic Rocks

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Mineralogi, petrologi och tektonik

    Author : Felicia Eriksson; [2022]
    Keywords : ultramafic; high-pressure metamorphism; peridotite; garnet breakdown; Scandinavian Caledonides; ultramafisk; högtrycks metamorfos; peridotit; granat; skandinaviska kaledoniderna;

    Abstract : Ultramafic rocks are abundant in the Earth’s mantle but rare on the surface. Since no in-situ samples from the mantle can be collected, mantle rocks provide knowledge of mechanisms operating in the mantle and large-scale processes that brought them up to the surface. READ MORE

  4. 3. The “ultramafic” Intrusion’s within the peridotite from Härbergsdalen : Petrological characterization of infiltration record within the lithospheric mantle

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Mineralogi, petrologi och tektonik

    Author : Per Volter; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The mantle constitutes ~80% of Earths volume, however, due to its location deep beneath Earth’s surface the mantle is inaccessible to study in situ. Despite this, we still have information about its composition thanks to seismic studies which haven proven the mantle to be in generally homogenous and dominated by a rock called peridotite.

  5. 4. Study on the Electronic Band Structure of the Spinel Superconductor LiTi2O4

    University essay from KTH/Tillämpad fysik

    Author : Gaia Di Berardino; [2022]
    Keywords : LiTi2O4; anomalous superconductivity; density functional theory; ARPES; electronic band structure; PLD; condensed matter physics; material science; LiTi2O4; okonventionell supraledning; funktionell densitetsteori; ARPES; elektronisk bandstruktur; PLD; kondenserade materiens fysik; materialvetenskap;

    Abstract : This master’s thesis focuses on investigating the electronic properties of the superconducting spinel compound LiTi2O4 by means of computational and experimental effort. The title compound has been extensively studied in the past years, being the only known superconducting spinel oxide with relatively high Tc = 11.5 K. READ MORE

  6. 5. Nitrogen Without Oxygen : The effect of ferroalloys added after vacuum treatment on cleanliness of nitrogen-alloyed tool steel

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Leo Nilsson Hultén; [2021]
    Keywords : Tool steel; Electro-Slag Remelting ESR; Nitrogen Alloying; Ferroalloys; Nonmetallic Inclusions NMI; Verktygsstål; Elektroslaggomsmältning ESR; Kvävelegering; Ferrolegeringar; Ickemetalliska Inneslutningar NMI;

    Abstract : Nitrogen-alloyed tool steel is made at Uddeholms AB by adding high-nitrogen ferroalloy after vacuum degassing where introduced impurities are hard to remove. In this thesis two types of high-nitrogen ferrochromium are compared, a solid version and a powder cored wire. READ MORE
