    Författare :Dennis Visser; Srinivasan Anand; Alvaro Blanco; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; semiconductor materials; c-Si; a-Si; GaInP; TiO2; ZnO; nanostructuring; light manipulation functions; top-down fabrication; embossing; FDTD simulations; nanowires; nanopillars; nanodisks; microcones; optical response; reflectance; transmittance; absorbance; spectrophotometry; photoluminescence; Mie resonators; mode coupling; broadband anti-reflection; light extraction enhancement; optical sensing; optical color filters; color conversion; Optik och fotonik; Optics and Photonics;

    Sammanfattning : Structuring of semiconductor materials is utilized in many optoelectronic devices, e.g, in order to make them more efficient, cost-effective, and/or to obtain specific wavelength-engineered responses. Semiconductor materials are widely used in optoelectronic devices due to their favorable optical and electric properties. LÄS MER

  2. 2. Geometry Calibration of IceCube : using Photon Timing from Downgoing Muons

    Författare :Matti Jansson; Klas Hultqvist; Stefan Richter; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physics; fysik;

    Sammanfattning : The IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the South Pole has instrumented one cu-bic kilometer of ice by deploying digital optical modules (DOMs) in 86 drillholes, each containing a string of DOMs. So far IceCube has used the locationof the drill tower for the positions of DOMs in the transverse directions (x andy) to the vertical direction (z).

  4. 4. Gravity Illustrated. Spacetime Edition

    Författare :Rickard Jonsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; embeddings; pedagogical techniques; curved spacetime; optical geometry; gyroscope precession; inertial forces;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with essentially four different topics within general relativity: pedagogical techniques for illustrating curved spacetime, inertial forces, gyroscope precession and optical geometry. Concerning the pedagogical techniques, I investigate two distinctly different methods, the dual and the absolute method. LÄS MER

  5. 5. Världsmaskinen. Emanuel Swedenborgs naturfilosofi

    Sammanfattning : The Swedish natural philosopher Emanuel Swedenborg (1688–1772) thought in his early scientific career that the world was like a gigantic machine, following the laws of mechanics and geometry. The work presented here is a study of his mechanistic worldview and metaphorical way of thinking up to the year 1734, examining most of his fields of interest, from geometry and metaphysics to technology and mining engineering.
