1. Phase Equilibrium-aided Design of Phase Change Materials from Blends : For Thermal Energy Storage
Sammanfattning : Climate change is no longer imminent but eminent. To combat climate change, effective, efficient and smart energy use is imperative. Thermal energy storage (TES) with phase change materials (PCMs) is one attractive choice to realize this. LÄS MER
2. Computational Material Design : Diluted Magnetic Semiconductors for Spintronics
Sammanfattning : The present thesis deals with the application of ab-initio electronic structure calculations based on density functional theory for material design.The correlation between magnetic properties and electronic structures has been investigated in detail for diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMS), which have promising application for spintronics devices.

3. First-Principles Studies of Materials Properties : Pressure-Induced Phase Transitions & Functional Materials
Sammanfattning : This thesis presents the first-principles studies of materials properties within the framework of the density functional theory (DFT). The thesis constitutes three main parts, i. e., pressure-induced phase transitions in solids, data-storage and clean-energy materials. LÄS MER
4. A Material Framework for Product Design
Sammanfattning : A new paradigm is slowly making its way into society, affecting our material practice as designers. Materials selection in design and product development has for a long time been dominated by a purely technical approach, mainly focusing on properties and performance. LÄS MER
5. Direct and indirect magnetocaloric properties of first- and second-order phase transition materials
Sammanfattning : The energy-efficient and environmentally friendly alternative cooling technology based on the magnetocaloric effect (MCE) is discussed in this thesis. The thesis has two major parts, one devoted to material characterization and the other to instrument development. LÄS MER
