21. Magnetic and Structural Properties of f-electron Systems from First Principles Theory
Sammanfattning : A series of studies of f-electron systems based on density functional theory methods have been performed. The focus of the studies has been on magnetic and structural properties, as well as investigating ways to handle strong electron correlation in these systems. LÄS MER
22. Thermoelectric Properties of Antimony Based Networks
Sammanfattning : With the retreating sources of carbon based fuels, thermoelectric materials can play an important role in the future of environmentally friendly power generators. Sb based framework have in some cases shown some promising properties as thermoelectric materials. The physical properties may be modified with doping or incorporation of new elements. LÄS MER
23. Effects of Strong Correlations in Complex Oxides Investigated by Raman Spectroscopy
Sammanfattning : Our global environment is under excessive strain and we are facing a possible global climate change. There is a urgent need today for finding both alternative energy sources and new techniques for the transport and storage of energy in order to save our planet in its present status. LÄS MER
24. Theoretical Studies of Magnetism and Electron Correlation in Solids
Sammanfattning : This work presents new development and applications of ab-initio simulation tools for material science. Focus lies on materials with strong electronic correlation and strong spin-orbit coupling. LÄS MER
25. Quasicrystal Approximants in the RE-Au-SM systems (RE = Gd, Tb, Ho, Yb; SM = Si, Ge) : Syntheses, structures and properties
Sammanfattning : In this study, new Tsai-type 1/1 quasicrystal approximants (ACs) in the RE-Au-SM systems (RE = Gd, Tb, Ho, Yb; SM = Si, Ge) were synthesized using high temperature synthesis techniques such as self-flux, arc-melting-annealing and novel arc-melting-self-flux methods. The syntheses not only provided appropriate samples for the intended structural and physical property measurements but could also be adapted to other systems, especially where crystal growth is a challenge.
