1. There Is an Alloy at the End of the Rainbow: Structure and Optical Properties From Bulk to Nano
Sammanfattning : Mixing different chemical species and decreasing dimensions to the nanoscale are two powerful approaches for improving materials. In both cases new properties emerge, and structure, composition, and chemical ordering can be tuned to tailor materials for specific purposes. LÄS MER
2. Atomic scale modeling of ordering phenomena
Sammanfattning : Ordering phenomena in materials often have a crucial impact on materials properties. They are governed by the competition between entropy and energy. Accordingly simulating these aspects requires the construction of models that enable a computationally efficient exploration of the relevant configuration space. LÄS MER
3. Atomic scale modeling of ordering phenomena in inorganic clathrates
Sammanfattning : Ordering phenomena in materials often have a crucial impact on materials properties. They are governed by the competition between entropy and energy. Accordingly simulating these aspects requires the construction of models that enable an computationally efficient exploration of the relevant configuration space. LÄS MER
4. Unlocking the potential of a caged star: Thermoelectric quaternary clathrates
Sammanfattning : Heat losses are an inevitable consequence of any energy conversion process, dictated by the second law of thermodynamics. This not only leads to an eternal struggle, via the pursuit of maximal efficiency, it also undermines our efforts to solve the two issues that pose the most significant challenges to modern society: climate change and the worlds surging energy need.

5. Pd-nanoalloys for hydrogen sensing: Multiscale modeling of thermodynamic and optical properties
Sammanfattning : Hydrogen sensing based on Pd nanoalloys has shown great promise in the past decades and could potentially be part of a solution that enables a safe future hydrogen economy. There are, however, remaining challenges related to, e.g., long-term stability and a need for further optimization of these systems. LÄS MER
