6. Toughness Enhancement in Hard Single-Crystal Transition-Metal Nitrides : V-Mo-N and V-W-N Alloys
Sammanfattning : Transition-metal nitrides are known for their high hardness, good wear resistance, high-temperature stability, and chemical inertness. Because of these properties, they are extensively used in many industrial applications, notably as protective wear, erosion, and scratch resistant coatings, which are often subjected to high thermo-mechanical stresses.

7. Growth and Mechanical Properties of Transition Metal Nitrides and Carbides
Sammanfattning : The atomic-scale dynamical processes at play during film growth cannot be resolved by even the most advanced experimental methods. As such, computational methods, and chiefly classical molecular dynamics, are the only available research tools to study these processes. LÄS MER
8. A Theoretical Treatise on the Electronic Structure of Designer Hard Materials
Sammanfattning : The subject of the present thesis is theoretical first principles electronic structure calculations on designer hard materials such as the transition metal carbides and oxides. The theoretical investigations have been made in close collaboration with experimental research and have addressed both bulk electronic properties and surface electronic properties of the materials.

9. Towards a Chemisorption Model for Transition-Metal Nitrides and Carbides from Density-Functional Theory: A TiN and TiC Case Study
Sammanfattning : Since the 1960's, a number of models for chemisorption on metals has beenpresented, most notably the Anderson-Grimley-Newns model for metals and thed-band model of Hammer and Nørskov for transition metals. The intention of this thesis is to explore the adsorption on transition-metal nitrides andcarbides, technologically interesting materials (in, e. LÄS MER
10. Theoretical and Experimental Studies on Early Transition Metal Nitrides for Thermoelectrics
Sammanfattning : Thermoelectricity transforms temperature gradients across thermoelectric material into an external voltage through a phenomenon known as the Seebeck effect. This property has resulted in niche applications such as solid-state cooling for electronic and optoelectronic devices which exclude the need for a coolant or any moving parts and long-lasting, maintenance-free radioisotope thermoelectric generators used for deep-space exploration.
