3. 2. Electronic Transport in Materials

   Författare :Velimir Meded; Susanne Mirbt; Ingrid Mertig; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physics; Electronic Structure; Ab initio; Condensed Matter Theory; Hydrogen; Boltzmann Transport Equation; Magnetism; Alloys; Fysik; Physics; Fysik;

   Sammanfattning : Transport properties within the Boltzmann transport equation for metallic multi-layer structures as well as bulk materials, were the prime topic of this work. Ab initio total energy calculations for Hydrogen loaded metallic multi-layers were performed in order to shed some light onto problem of H depleted layers at the interfaces that have been experimentally observed.

   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Condense matter theory; electronic structure; quasiparticles; GW theory; molecular dynamics; Boltzmann transport; electron transport; impact ionization; structural damage; dielectric response; structural biology; radiation detectors; scintillators; positron emission tommography; Electronic structure; Elektronstruktur; Semiconductor physics; Halvledarfysik; Biological physics; Biologisk fysik; Critical phenomena phase transitions ; Kritiska fenomen fasövergångar ; Functional materials; Funktionella material; Materiefysik; Physics of Matter;

   Sammanfattning : First principle electronic structure theory is used to describe the effect of crystal binding on radiation detectors, electron transport properties, and structural damage induced by intense irradiation. A large database containing general electronic structure results to which data mining algorithms can be applied in the search for new functional materials, a case study is presented for scintillator detector materials.

5. 4. Radiation and matter: how do they play with each other?

   Författare :Davide Mancusi; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; heavy ions; models; transport codes; Boltzmann equation; Monte Carlo; radioprotection in space; radiotherapy; nuclear reactions;

   Sammanfattning : The propagation of radiation is affected by the presence of matter; at the same time, the physicochemical properties of matter are modified by the passage of radiation. The interplay of radiation and matter is of crucial importance in many modern applications: accelerated heavy ions, in particular, can be used in radiotherapeutical treatments of some cancers; moreover, they are present in the space radiation environment and represent a serious threat to the health of spaceship crews and to the functionality of electronic equipment on board.

7. 5. Kinetic modelling of runaway in plasmas

   Författare :Ola Embréus; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Fokker-Planck equation; synchrotron radiation; plasma; runaway; bremsstrahlung; Boltzmann equation;

   Sammanfattning : The phenomenon of runaway occurs in plasmas in the presence of a strong electric field, which overcomes the collisional friction acting on the charged particles moving through the plasma. A subpopulation of particles can then be accelerated to energies significantly higher than the thermal energy. LÄS MER
