2. Nonstoichiometric Multicomponent Nitride Thin Films
Sammanfattning : High entropy ceramics have rapidly developed as a class of materials based on high entropy alloys; the latter being materials that contain five or more elements in near-equal proportions. Their unconventional compositions and chemical structures hold promise for achieving unprecedented combinations of mechanical, electrical and chemical properties. LÄS MER
3. Refractory High-entropy Alloy and Nitride Thin Films
Sammanfattning : This thesis focuses on understanding the process-structure-property relation-ships for several refractory-metal-based high-entropy alloys and nitrides synthesized by magnetron sputtering. The thesis begins with the growth of TiZrNbTaNx understoichiometric nitrides by controlling substrate temperature and nitrogen flow ratio fN. LÄS MER
4. Developing Internet Interventions to Improve Psychosocial Outcomes in Breast Cancer Survivors : Attitudes and practices in Portuguese cancer settings
Sammanfattning : Background: Despite the psychosocial treatment gap in cancer settings and the significant body of evidence on the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of internet interventions, research targeting Breast Cancer Survivors (BCS) is scant, and implementation in clinical settings is limited. While the reasons for this research and implementation gaps are multifactorial, including funding, technical and organizational barriers, the attitudes of the distinct stakeholders in the internet interventions’ ecosystem have been posited to play an important role in this regard.
