1. Inside The Miscibility Gap : Nanostructuring and Phase Transformations in Hard Nitride Coatings
Sammanfattning : This thesis is concerned with self-organization phenomena in hard and wear resistant transition-metal nitride coatings, both during growth and during post deposition thermal annealing. The uniting physical principle in the studied systems is the immiscibility of their constituent parts, which leads, under certain conditions, to structural variations on the nanoscale. LÄS MER
2. Nanostructuring and Age Hardening in TiSCN, ZrAlN, and TiAlN Thin Films
Sammanfattning : This thesis explores nanostructuring in TiSiCN, ZrAlN, and TiAlN thin films deposited by cathodic arc evaporation onto cemented carbide substrates, with intended applications for cutting tools. The three systems were found to exhibit age hardening upon annealing, by different mechanisms, into the superhard regime (≥30 GPa), as determined by a combination of electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, atom probe tomography, erda, and nanoindentation tech- niques.

3. Variance reduction methods for numerical solution of plasma kinetic diffusion
Sammanfattning : Performing detailed simulations of plasma kinetic diffusion is a challenging task and currently requires the largest computational facilities in the world. The reason for this is that, the physics in a confined heated plasma occur on a broad range of temporal and spatial scales. LÄS MER
4. High-resolution characterization of TiN diffusion barrier layers
Sammanfattning : Titanium nitride (TiN) films are widely applied as diffusion barrier layers in microelectronic devices. The continued miniaturization of such devices not only poses new challenges to material systems design, but also puts high demands on characterization techniques. LÄS MER
5. Affective disorders in a stress-vulnerability perspective : a clinical, biological and psycho-social study
Sammanfattning : Affective illness is a common, recurrent and often severe illness, which causes severe suffering to the patients and their families, friends and co-workers. Furthermore the costs for society are substantial. LÄS MER
