1. 1. Insights into Materials Properties from Ab Initio Theory : Diffusion, Adsorption, Catalysis & Structure

   Författare :Andreas Blomqvist; Rajeev Ahuja; Christopher Wolverton; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Density functional theory; Molecular dynamics; Diffusion; Catalysis; Adsorption; Random structure search; Hydrogen-storage materials; Phase-change materials; Defects and diffusion; Defekter och diffusion; Surfaces and interfaces; Ytor och mellanytor; Physics with spec. in Atomic; Molecular and Condensed Matter Physics; Fysik med inriktning mot atom- molekyl- och kondenserande materiens fysik;

   Sammanfattning : In this thesis, density functional theory (DFT) calculations and DFT based ab initio molecular dynamics simulations have been employed in order to gain insights into materials properties like diffusion, adsorption, catalysis, and structure. In transition metals, absorbed hydrogen atoms self-trap due to localization of metal d-electrons. LÄS MER

3. 2. Diffusion-Induced Nonlinear Dynamics in Carbon Nanomechanical Resonators

   Författare :Christin Edblom; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; mass sensing; graphene; stochastic differential equations; diffusion; carbon nanotubes; resonators; nanoelectromechanical systems; equations of motion; nonlinear dynamics; dissipation; Fokker-Planck equation; noise; nonequilibrium dynamics;

   Sammanfattning : The emergence of nanoelectromechanical systems has enabled the development of sensors capable of detecting mass, charge, force, position, and spin with an unprecedented precision. In particular, the low mass, high resonant frequency, and high quality factor of carbon nanomechanical resonators make them ideal for the creation of a high sensitivity mass sensor. LÄS MER

4. 3. DIFFUSION OF IONS IN WOOD

   Författare :Reddysuresh Kolavali; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; lithium chloride; impregnation; diffusion; Norway spruce; local concentration profiles; experimental methodology; micro-cracks; wood; Donnan effect;

   Sammanfattning : Wood sourced from well managed plantations or forests, is a renewable material with many advantages over non-renewable (fossil) material, and also wood lignocelluloses are the only type of biomass that is a seasonal-independent product. In addition to direct utilization as a building material, major uses of wood are currently for making pulp and paper products, and fuel. LÄS MER

5. 4. Dispersing Carbon Nanotubes: Towards Molecular Understanding

   Författare :Ricardo M. Ferreira Fernandes; Istvan Furo; Eduardo Marques; Philippe Poulin; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; carbon nanotubes; dispersion; surfactants; polymers; adsorption; liquid crystals; nuclear magnetic resonance; self-diffusion; Kemi; Chemistry;

   Sammanfattning : Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) exhibit unique and fascinating intrinsic electrical, optical, thermal or mechanical properties that lead to a plethora of potential applications in composite materials, electronics, energy storage, medicine, among others. However, the manipulation of nanotubes is not trivial and there are significant difficulties to overcome before achieving their full potential in applications. LÄS MER

7. 5. Nano-segregated soft materials observed by NMR spectroscopy

   Författare :Anton Frise; István Furó; Monika Schönhoff; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; nuclear magnetic resonance; soft matter; colloidal dispersion; carbon nanotubes; colloidal silica; adsorption; liquid crystals; ionic liquids; diffusion; Physical chemistry; Fysikalisk kemi;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis is about using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy for studying soft materials. Soft materials may be encountered everyday by most readers of this thesis, for example when taking a shower or watching TV. The usefulness of these materials originates from them being soft yet, at the same time, having some kind of a structure. LÄS MER
