  1. 6. Effects of aperiodic order for Josephson junction arrays and discrete breathers

    Författare :Erik Lennholm; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Aperiodic order; Josephson junction array; Discrete breather;

    Sammanfattning : Effects of the combination of nonlinearities and aperiodic order is studied in this thesis. The nonlinear systems considered are Josephson junction arrays (JJA) and Fermi-Pasta-Ulam (FPU) lattices. Both systems are discrete and one-dimensional. The traveling waves in a JJA are solitons, i.

  3. 7. Complexity of quasicrystal approximants —The RECd6 and RE13(Zn/Cd)~58 systems

    Författare :ShuYing Piao; Sven Lidin; Osamu Terasaki; Marc de Boissieu; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Rare-earth; Quasicrystal approximant; order and disorder; Chemistry; Kemi; oorganisk kemi; Inorganic Chemistry;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis is focused on the synthesis and structural determination of a series of quasicrystal approximants in the RE13Zn~58 (RE = Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb and Lu), Ce13Cd~58 and RECd6 (RE = Tb, Ho, Er, Tm and Lu) systems. Structural studies were performed by single crystal X-ray diffraction methods. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Influential Moments in City Planning Meetings : A Study of Decision-Making Situations in a Jordanian Municipality

    Författare :Marwa Al Khalidi; Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; decision-making; planning culture; city planning meetings; Jordan; destabilizations; heterogeneity; participant observation; controversy; actor-network theory; influential moments; narrative;

    Sammanfattning : The shaping of a city and its future relates to official decisions made in city planning meetings, where daily planning matters and decision-making processes adapt to changing societal circumstances. The interest of this research lies in how planning is officially established, managed and practiced in the setting of a Jordanian city, and its local districts. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Governing Climate Change under the Paris Regime : Meeting Urgency with Voluntarism

    Författare :Maria Jernnäs; Björn-Ola Linnér; Eva Lövbrand; Michele Betsill; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; global governance; governmentality; Paris Agreement; climate politics; Nationally Determined Contributions NDC ; nonstate actors; global styrning; governmentality; Parisavtalet; klimatpolitik; nationella klimat-planer NDC ; icke-statliga aktörer;

    Sammanfattning : The climate is changing. As the global mean temperature continues to rise, the immense urgency of addressing the climate change crisis is evident. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Self Assembly at the Liquid Air Interface

    Författare :Niga Petru; Rutland Mark; Ye Shen; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; VSFS; SFG; interface; crown ethers; ethylene oxides; ionic liquids; fatty acids; domains.; Surface and colloid chemistry; Yt- och kolloidkemi;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this work is to study the interfacial properties of amphiphilic compounds at the liquid–air interface in an attempt to develop a comprehensive understanding of their orientation as well as the influence of their interaction with the solvent on the interfacial layer properties. Using Vibrational Sum Frequency Spectroscopy (VSFS) as the main tool, the molecular structure of the amphiphilic layer and the amphiphile–solvent relation can be illuminated in great detail – it is arguably the most sensitive surface spectroscopy currently available.
