21. Model Studies of Electron Transfer and Reaction Dynamics at Surfaces
Sammanfattning : Charge-transfer is of key importance in many physical, chemical and biological processes, including surface reactions. This thesis consists of several theories for and model studies of surface reactions that are initiated by electron transfer between the surface to a molecule. LÄS MER
22. Fingerprints of light-induced molecular transients : from quantum chemical models of ultrafast x-ray spectroscopy
Sammanfattning : Absorption of sunlight generates renewable electricity and powers the growth of plants, but also causes severe damage both to synthetic materials and biological tissue. The wildly varying outcomes of these light-induced processes are ultimately determined by much slighter differences in their underlying reaction pathways, induced by the transient properties of short-lived and miniscule molecules; a powerful approach to their detection and characterization is offered by ultrafast x-ray spectroscopy, with identification of spectral fingerprints and further guidance from quantum chemical models.

23. Electron and Energy Transfer in Supramolecular Complexes Designed for Artificial Photosynthesis
Sammanfattning : In the society of today the need for alternative energy sources is increasing. The construction of artificial devices for the conversion of sunlight into electricity or fuel seems very attractive from an environmental point of view, since these devices are based on processes that does not necessarily generate any harmful biproducts.

24. Molecular machinery of a membrane-bound proton pump : Studies of charge transfer reactions in cytochrome c oxidase
Sammanfattning : In cellular respiration, electron transfer from the breakdown of foodstuff is coupled to the formation of an electrochemical proton gradient. This is accomplished through proton translocation by respiratory complexes, and the proton gradient is subsequently used e.g. to drive ATP production. LÄS MER
25. Towards Conduction Band Mediated Multi-electron Transfer: Spectroscopic Studies of Photosensitizer-semiconductor-acceptor Assemblies
Sammanfattning : Converting solar energy into a storable form in chemical bonds, i.e., generating solar fuels, is a promising strategy for producing renewable fuels. This however comes with several challenges that need to be solved before generation of solar fuels can become a reality. LÄS MER
