16. Mesoscopic phenomena in the electromechanics of suspended nanowires
Sammanfattning : Over the last two decades nanotechnology has been a very active field of scientific research, both from fundamental perspectives as well as for applications in technology and consumer goods. In this thesis, theoretical work on quantum mechanical effects on charge transport in nanoelectromechanical systems is presented. LÄS MER
17. Electron and proton transfer in cytochrome c oxidase
Sammanfattning : This doctoral thesis describes results from studies on the mechanisms by which the enzyme cytochrome c oxidase catalyses the reduction of oxygen to water. Cytochrome c oxidase is the last integral enzyme complex of the socalled respiratory chain in the mitochondrial inner membrane (plasma membrane of bacteria). LÄS MER
18. Transport Studies of Local-Gate Defined Quantum Dots in Nanowires
Sammanfattning : This thesis focuses on electrical transport in semiconductor InAs nanowires grown by chemical beam epitaxy. Initially, transport length scales of homogeneous InAs n-type nanowires are characterized by low-temperature magnetoconductance measurements. The measurements show phase-coherent conductivity corrections. LÄS MER
19. Electroosmotic pumps with electrochemically active electrodes
Sammanfattning : Electrokinetic phenomena, motion caused by an applied electric field, can be used to separate molecules based on charge as in capillary electrophoresis, or pump liquids with electroosmosis. As microfluidic devices are becoming more advanced, involving multiple stages (sequential reactions) and requiring smaller amounts of reagent, the demand for precise fluid control and integrated electrodes increases.

20. The evolution of respiratory chain complex I from smaller functional modules
Sammanfattning : NADH:quinone oxidoreductase, or complex I, is a large membrane bound enzyme in the respiratory chain of living organisms, that has evolved from the combination of smaller functional building blocks. The enzyme has a conserved core structure, comprising 14 protein subunits: Seven subunits protrude from the membrane and contain a flavin and eight iron-sulfur clusters. LÄS MER
