  1. 1. Electrochromic Properties of Iridium Oxide Based Thin Films

    Författare :Jonas Backholm; Gunnar A. Niklasson; Andris Azens; Franco Decker; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Engineering physics; Electrochromism; iridium oxide; hydrogen intercalation; chemical diffusion coefficient; density of states; optical modulation; Teknisk fysik;

    Sammanfattning : Electrochromic iridium oxide (IrOx) and iridium-tantalum oxide (IrTaOx) thin films were prepared by reactive magnetron sputtering. Composition, density, and structure were determined using Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and electron energy loss spectroscopy.

    Sammanfattning : People suffering from certain types of arrhythmia may benefit from the implantation of a cardiac pacemaker. Pacemakers artificially stimulate the heart by applying short electrical pulses to the cardiac tissue to restore and maintain a steady heart rhythm. By adjusting the pulse delivery rate the heart is stimulated to beat at desired pace. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : Electrochromic thin films can effectively regulate the visible and infrared light passing through a window, demonstrating great potential to save energy and offer a comfortable indoor environment in buildings. However, long-term durability is a big issue and the physics behind this is far from clear. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Mechanistic Insights into Transition Metal Oxide Catalyzed Water Oxidation

    Författare :Michael Busch; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; water oxidation; density functional theory; electrochemistry; water splitting; catalysis; water oxidation;

    Sammanfattning : A binuclear mechanism was proposed and evaluated by means of Density Functional Theory calculations. The central reaction steps were found to be the oxidation of the transition metal TM-OH moieties to TM=O and the subsequent intramolecular O-O bond formation between two TM=O groups. LÄS MER
