1. Nanofluidic Scattering Microscopy for Single Particle Catalysis
Sammanfattning : Heterogeneous catalysis concerns material formulations – catalysts – that can assist a chemical reaction by improving its rate or selectivity, by lowering activation barriers and altering the energy landscape. The core of catalysts are often tiny metal particles that provide a large reaction surface at a small volume, as well as low coordination sites whose type and abundance depends on particle size and shape.

2. Transmission Electron Microscopy of Graphene and Hydrated Biomaterial Nanostructures : Novel Techniques and Analysis
Sammanfattning : Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) on light element materials and soft matters is problematic due to electron irradiation damage and low contrast. In this doctoral thesis techniques were developed to address some of those issues and successfully characterize these materials at high resolution. LÄS MER
3. Nanofluidics as a tool for parallelized single nanoparticle characterization: Fluorescence single nanoparticle catalysis and size determination through 1D Brownian motion
Sammanfattning : Nanoparticles exist widely in nature and are objects of study in many scientific disciplines due to their high performance in a wide range of applications. With modern techniques that facilitate creating and shaping of nanoparticles into ever more complex shapes and compositions, characterization of particle properties is essential. LÄS MER
4. Transient State Fluorescence Microscopy - method development and biological applications : Exploiting the dark states of fluorophores to measure oxygen concentrations, redox state, Förster resonance energy transfer and membrane viscosity
Sammanfattning : Due to their long lifetime, triplet, redox and other transient states of fluorophores are highly sensitive to the micro-environment. Imaging their spatial distribution in biological samples can therefore help answer interesting questions about the metabolism, molecular interactions and dynamics in living cells. LÄS MER
5. Studies of Molecular Interactions with Single Nanoparticles: Combining in Situ Plasmonic Nanospectroscopy with Transmission Electron Microscopy
Sammanfattning : The cyclic methanol and hydrogen economies are two viable options in the strive for clean energy production. Industrial methanol synthesis is conducted over copper (Cu)-based catalysts. However, Cu is prone to oxidation, which leads to Cu catalyst deactivation. LÄS MER
