1. Nonlocal Correlations in Density Functional Theory
Sammanfattning : In Density Functional Theory, the widely used local and semilocal approximations to the exchange-correlation energy, the local density approximation (LDA) and the generalized gradient approximations (GGAs), lack a physical description of truly nonlocal correlation effects, which are absolutely essential for a proper description of soft matter. A scheme is proposed that provides a basis for systematic improvements beyond LDA and GGA, including correlations at intermediate and long range, giving rise to bonds of pure van der Waals type as well as more intricate, intermediate-range correlation bonds.

2. Atomistic modelling of functional solid oxides for industrial applications : Density Functional Theory, hybrid functional and GW-based studies
Sammanfattning : In this Thesis a set of functional solid oxides for industrial applications have been addressed by first principles and thermodynamical modelling. More specificially, measurable quantities such as Gibbs free energy, geometry and electronic structure have been calculated and compared when possible with experimental data. LÄS MER
3. Synchrotron Radiation Studies of Molecular Building Blocks for Functional Materials
Sammanfattning : The research on new materials is a primary driving force for progress in human society. One of the most significant research topic nowadays is the development of new functional materials for technological applications, like perovskite implemented in solar cells, and graphene as a representative for the new 2D materials family.

5. Van der Waals density-functional description of polymers and other sparse materials
Sammanfattning : Polymers are abundant in nature --- rubber, tar and latex have been known to mankind for thousands of years. Early in the 20th century, a systematic synthesis of polymers was developed, but the great potential of synthesized polymers was recognized first during World War II. LÄS MER
